Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

This post is in: Election 2008, Did You Know John McCain Was A POW?

Congrats, folks. We broke the 40k mark, so, as usual, I pulled the rug out from under you all and changed the goal to 60k.

Goal Thermometer

Somewhat related:

Sen. Barack Obama broke his monthly fundraising record of $55 million in August, sources said today, but the campaign remains tight lipped about its total haul.

The numbers aren’t scheduled to be made public until Sept. 20, when the campaign files its August finance reports with the Federal Election Commission. But top fundraisers for the campaign wanted to downplay a report in today’s New York Times suggesting Obama’s vaunted money-raising team has been struggling to meet its goals.

Good.

    I think more people would donate if we could replace the green thermometer with some kind of pig. Maybe one with lipstick on it.

    . . . the campaign remains tight lipped about its total haul.

    They’ll announce the numbers at the right moment to make McCain look like he’s running a national campaign on lemonade stand revenues.

    I’m not giving another red cent until they give me a bumper sticker!

    Anything else is just wrapping a fish in paper and calling it a bumper sticker.

    Is anybody seeing ads for Pajamas that isn’t a PajamasTV ad? I don’t think I’ve seen anything but for the past month.

    Ok, other than the ads for WordPress errors, I suppose. :-)

    One more thing. What’s McCain thinking running around accusing everyone of sexism?

    Doesn’t he realize that we already fought this battle? We’re battle hardened and experienced.

    With McCain being such an asshole, I may end up contributing the limit to Obama. McDickhead has not only sold his soul to the devil, but he’s sold his children’s.

    i had a hard time getting here today (due to the technical problem that dare not be mentioned) but was persistent and now have been rewarded with a thermometer post….just what i was seeking! i had never given money online before but will be doing it again in oct and nov.

    regarding the idiocy that is our presidential race, all i can say is “teh stoopid, it burns.”

    Today has been so depressing in terms of political news that I donated in the hope that it would actually change something. There is nothing like a little depression to cause the irrational spending of money.

    At least if McCain gets elected it wont be because I didn’t try to help.

    I just donated through your page because Obama’s had an annoying auto-playing video on it.

    OH NO THE ANNOYING VIDEO WILL DOOM US ALL. DOOOOOM.
