heh.

Oh even more nerdily, it's like making a Ventrue your Seneschal.

God damn, dude.





but yes

A Ventrue would have a better grasp on economics.

He's a Malk.

The entire thing was made possible by a vigorous and very successful propaganda campaign. A lot of people in this country still believe absolute childish falsehoods about the credit crisis and the housing bust and the current state of the American economy.

So, no one will ever admit anything. For most, they aren't lying any more. They actually believe it.

If they know the truth and are still willing to rob from an economy that is already tilted heavily in their favor, then their morality is already monstrous and corrupt beyond redemption.

just try arguing with people who watch Fox News 4+ hours a day

At the risk of sounding over the top, electing Romney to the presidency is like marrying your rapist to hide the shame.

P.S. We are so fucked

um actually this may help Obama win, although ultimately yeah, we are all fucked, and we all die alone in the end. Cool?

The only thing Ryan is famous for is his budget plans, which are not only radically conservative by also completely unrealistic. The numbers simply do not add up.

Increased scrutiny of these plans, which have been publicly supported by both Romney and the vast majority of congressional Republicans, will probably be more damaging to them than helpful.

There's no cause for alarm. This Ryan would have a better shot if he ran, and one day he will. Obama's got the electoral college locked up. Romney has to win every single state he's strong in now AND capture every single swing state AND some of the ones that are trending Obama right now to win. Things may change, but I don't think Romney can get there from here.

Ryan's budget destroys Medicare. With this move Romney just gave Obama everybody who gets that check. And every boomer looking ahead a few years.

It's just terrifying that we've reached the point where someone like this even makes the first cut in the VP selection process.

Plus the fact that there's even the slightest chance he'll win. Remember the absolute terror you felt at the thought of Sarah Palin reaching the White House?

oh we reached that point decades ago

As idiotic as this may seem, after what happened in 2000 I am not assuming anything positive regarding our ability as a country to vote for things that won't immediately turn around and give us a poisonous bite as a thank-you.

I'm sure there's one conclusion they came to: women are unreliable so it's better to run a man.

Give them some credit for not going with Romney's dancing horse.

People like Paul Ryan don't have any ideals.

Or ideas, whatever.

Uh, no. I'd rather have an empty headed monster than one with "big ideas".

Love the fact that a bunch of Jesuits at Georgetown called him out on his bullshit when he came to make a speech.

I'm sure it was soul-shattering, finding out that the woman he made sure to imagine laying there, looking up at him whenever he fucked his wife, was nothing more than a dirty, dirty atheist whore who took public assistance.

And then all the Ayn Rand succubus nightmares that followed...

I prefer the term "Randroids," personally.

It's well documented that his father died when he was a teenager, and Social Security survivor benefits paid his way through college.

This should destroy his credibility, but it hasn't and won't.

It could, but you have to be careful how you go after him. You can get on Rush Limbaugh's case for taking unemployment benefits for an extended period during his second marriage, because that's pure laziness. But when your dad dies and the government gives you survivor benefits, that is not laziness on your part, and anyone going after you has to be careful to not disparage you or the survivor benefits. About all that can be done is accuse Ryan of being an ingrate, unwilling to acknowledge that misfortunes happen and a decent society tries to help those who are visited by misfortune. Good luck cramming that into a three-second attack sound bite, though.
