I'm hoping for the turd sandwich who said he would repeal Obamacare. I can't afford it. Most people will find out the same thing.
That will take FOREVER to happen. I'm still calling the election for B-Rock, too.

BOB WOODWARD: SOMETHING HAPPENED, PERHAPS IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE, TO DISTRACT PRESIDENT OBAMA BEFORE LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE!

That's their story, and they're sticking to it. ANYTHING to not admit maybe he isn't divine.

"I can't believe i'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter," comedian and Obama supporter Bill Maher tweeted.

Fox News quoting Bill Maher. Wow.

You know...I kinda don't know now if Obama can win this thing. And I kinda think maybe we'd be better off if he won. Because really, how different is Romney from a Democrat, in his heart? At least with Obama, the Republican Congress MIGHT fight some of his liberalism.

On the other hand, it would make me smile to think of all the sad hippies if Obama lost.

The crying hippies is the second-most thing I would look forward to.

The first being the repeal of Obamacare.

VERY close second, though.

Obamacare repeal would be a relief... but the lamentations of the hippies would be a joy.

The presidential election has been nothing more than a popularity contest since the first televised debate. Romney's got a bit to go before I'll give him a real shot at winning. If the election were tomorrow, I might give him 30-40% chance of winning. He's got a few weeks to fuck up, B-Rock has a few weeks to improve. If all the debates went like I hear the most recent one went, then I'd give Mitt straight 50/50 odds.

EDIT: Hstorically, donkey president + pachyderm Congress has proven to be the best economic bet.

Never happen. TSA is WAY more unpopular, and nobody in the .gov even talks about maybe possibly considering someday even cutting FUNDING a little bit perhaps.

I believe the TSA has surpassed the IRS as the most hated gov't agency. The fact that...

1) it's been over a decade since that shit went down
2) we killed many people responsible for it
3) we have crippled that particular terrorist network
4) the agency has proven incompetent, ineffective, and antagonistic to several of the ten bullet points included in that Bill of Rights thing
5) the only thing they've backed down on was disposable lighters, not one fucking inch has been given back on anything else
6) the main legacy of the agency will be making it mandatory for all air passengers to remove shoes and unpack/repack half their luggage at the fucking security checkpoints as they're going through

... and, yeah, not raising funding would be unthinkable for them. Because they do such a kick-ass job. They are, simply put, the new insanity standard. I call all legislators fucktards because they aren't stampeding to get the TSA rolled back like a shitty term paper hastily thrown together on the last night of the semester. Can you imagine anyone not being instantly popular for wanting to gut that organization? Would any single person ever subjected to their bullshittery have a fucking shred of sympathy for them? If there were a "should we dismantle the TSA" measure put forth, I'd go vote at that bitch. People would turn out in droves.

Adolph Hitler could run for President on the platform of: "I will dismantle the TSA, and kick every American man in the nuts," and probably get like 80% of the vote of people who fly.

He had me at "Dismantle the TSA." I'd vote for Hitler.
