It's tough to get the witches out to vote. Mostly, they stay at home, sitrring their cauldrons of free government hand-outs like bats, newts and frog hearts. Oh, and Cheese. Loads of Government Cheese.


and B) She wasn't REALLY a witch. She only accidentally dated one. Like accidentally dating a black guy or not knowing your boyfriend Adam is Jewish. It was accidental and even though she went along with the Satanic picnic (and mixing her metaphoric religions to boot) she only did it out of politeness.

It's even worse when you marry the guy....

ST. PAUL, Minnesota — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's husband, Todd, twice registered as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a fierce states' rights group that wants to turn all federal lands in Alaska back to the state. Sarah Palin herself was never a member of the party, according to state officials.
Quote:
Palin did address the Alaskan Independence Party's state convention by video earlier this year, welcoming the party to Fairbanks.

Those damn people with their sense of entitlement to free stuffs, stole the election from the rightful candidate. Damnit, he was entitled to the presidency!

I'm here to officially present The Alamo Award to Adak, for manning the walls and keeping up a heck of an effort in the face of overwhelming disbelief, counterargument and contrary evidence, and keeping it relatively civil as well.

If you were a paid Republican Rep you earned every penny, and if you're just a dyed-in-the-wool enthusiast, you did all you could.

As a foreigner, I found it interesting and educational to see the Republican party line presented so tenaciously. Hard luck about the election, but don't worry too much about Obama-socialism and stuff. He's still to the right of most OECD countries today.

I liked Adak. He annoyed me from time to time, but I found him engaging and interesting.

That's why he earns the big bucks. Can't buy that kind of fluency just anywhere.

I'd welcome Adak's return to regular posting as well.

Just quietly ... I'm still not sure it wasn't UG's sockpuppet.

Mature age, lives in Southern California, Naval background, excellent grammar, and the politics was about right - the libertarian rather than reactionary side of conservative. And I never saw them both posting at the same time.

Well, there's probably millions like that, so maybe not.

I don't think so, I doubt UG could avoid nuking the thread.

They're similar, true.

But UG is much more condescending, much more snobby, and compensates for goodness knows what by using really big words, cause, y'know, they're really big.

I suspect the two of them would be pleasant company for each other, but they are *not* the same person. UG doesn't have the discipline to let us all use the same vocabulary for such an extended performance.

If UT is/was Adek, I'd be very disappointed.
UT is much more engaging than a just parroting of the party line.
