The cliff makes me think "fiscal cliff", and the wheelchairs make me think healthcare. Obama/Biden is the presidential campaign (as opposed to other politics)....

I got nuthin.

nothing here either

If it's s'posed to be elderly-Obama/Biden, then it might be a reference to the fact that Ryan wants to privatize medicare and would be pushing seniors off a cliff?

I think it's like the 'The Old & Busted' vs. 'The New Hotness'-type thing.

"Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan" is an anagram of "My ultimate Ayn Rand porn".

Ryan sounds like Rain? nuttin here either

The "1890 Manifesto", sometimes simply called "The Manifesto",
is a statement which officially disavowed the continuing practice of plural marriage
in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Wikikpedia:Mitt Romney's maternal grandfather was a polygamous Mormon who fled the United States
with his children owing to the federal government's prosecution of polygamy.

George Romney's parents, Gaskell Romney (1871–1955) and Anna Amelia Pratt (1876–1926),
were American citizens [? and natives of the Territory of Utah.

They married in 1895 in Mexico and lived in Colonia Dublán in Galeana
in the state of Chihuahua (one of the Mormon colonies in Mexico),
where [Mitt's father] George Romney was born on July 8, 1907

The Mexican Revolution broke out in 1910 and the Mormon colonies
were endangered in 1911–1912 by raids from marauders.
The Romney family fled and moved into the United States in July 1912

Were Mitt Romney's ancestors actually American citizens ?

If not, the U.S. Boarder guards did not do their job
and Mitt Romney is really only an "anchor baby". :D

Someone please call out the BIRTHERS !

Impressive.

Some shennanigans from the Northern Territory (think Crocodile Dundee) election.

The image, primarily about crime and/or healthcare (go figure) features an eye chart which reads " H E N D O [Cheif Minister Henderson] IS A J E R K G E T R I D OF HIM "


:lol:

Snicker

Don't we have a BS thread around here titled "Issac"?Attachment 40264

I think Dan Brown's work is intellectually insubstantial, numerology and all that crap-ola. The you go and reveal something like this.

Great. Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the (political) water.

I agree with HM, very impressive.

*snort*

Good ones infi!

bit of a cheap shot:

as dailykos' liveblog of the convention put it:

maybe too true to be funny

Oof.

That demands a new thread, comparable to Ombanation

Oh happy monkey. You make another monkey happy too! Good one! :lol:

I don't think they get it.

[reaches for wallet]

video, not a picture, but


I sure wanna get to know Rip Nomney! he's probably better than Mitt...

Well, it made me smile.

;)

I wasn't sure how many had heard about the clint eastwood debacle.

Even I got it, down here in 19th Century Terra Australis.

Well that's just because y'all are so genteeeeeeeeel. ;)

The funny thing was that the repubs were mad at clint for his super bowl commercial for chrysler: they claimed it was Obama-nobbing and blatant democratic rhetoric. What????

Clint's a pub, dudes!

To channel my idol, tw: they'd rather chrysler was failing so there wouldn't be a commercial about any success in America during Obama's regime.

It's called 'Eastwooding'.

On Wednesday I tried to explain to my nephew which parties in the American elections the candidates represented. And Mormonism.

Admittedly it was a biased account.

In the end he was able to fix in his head that Obama was Democrat. Black (the dual heritage really amazed him) and Auntie C likes him.

Romney - Republican. White. Auntie C disapproves for some reasons he can't remember but had a lot to do with his sister (healthcare, support, schooling etc).

Not sure I got through entirely, but given that both the childer in that family rely on The Sun and Sky News for their political views, he probably had a more balanced account of American politics from me than he has ever had of British politics. He's been brought up working class right wing. And he knows me as a suspect bleeding heart liberal. There are certain things he knows not to say in front of me. So I might just have created a new Republican.

Meh - he can't even vote over here yet, let alone over there.

ETA watched the odd "empty chair" ramble.
Quotes because "empty chair" is employed in therapy and is known as such.
Did he walk through the wrong door?

Maddow made the point last night that if nobody in the romney campaign gets fired for green-lighting the eastwood speech, it's clear they basically really just don't give a fuck anymore.

I'm not sure if it's "don't give a fuck" or just "so totally absorbed in their own forced narrative as to be unable to see how silly they look from the outside".

Eastwood provided the red meat insanity the true believer crowd required, so Mitt could say whatever he wanted and try to look Presidential. Not to worry, the insane left will get a chance to prove themselves at the Dem Con. Am reading Empire by Orson Scott Card right now so my vision may be skewed.

Eastwood was there to provide 'conservative' credentials to Romney while Romney quietly backed off to the middle to court the 'not insane' majority of independents.

"Pay no attention to the moderate behind the curtain."

But Ann, and by extension the GOP, loves women.

Never been so loved and cared for my whole life. Yes, I say! Yes I'll make you a sandwich!

True, but it's the kind of love that, in a person, usually results in a restraining order.

Clint provided an imaginary friend to go with Romney's imaginary facts.
They had an obligation to entertain us considering that convention cost us $68,000,000. Oh, the next one will too. :(

You can save it as a gif and when you go to upload it, it says gif and in the list of file types is gif...but when I save out, it changes to a jpeg???????

That's supposed to move.

Oh well.

I've only been able to get anigifs to play nice by linking to the original source, not uploading to the cellar.

good luck.

omg so funny!

^hahahahahahahahaaaaahahhahaha

Yeah, the Marx one is really finny.

Yes, outstanding!

The fact that 'emptychairMitt' is a fucking throne is hilarious.

:lol:

I have no idea.

Hasn't anyone told him that blackface and its derivatives are passé now?
