I posted this in an earlier thread. Someone changed John Roberts Wiki page to read “Chief Traitor of the US”

The media will spin it as a victory for Romney. He’ll frame it as “a government takeover of the respiratory function of the human body,” and then just sit back and watch those poll numbers rise!

Too subtle.
He should oppose drinking bleach.

Probably better than my idea of him coming out against dousing yourself with gasoline and lighting yourself on fire. It’s so dry across much of the country that we’d have a real problem with wildfires.

I’ve been saying for 3 years that President Obama needs to make a major speech detailing his belief that breathing and not eating rat poison are two of the most important things citizens can do to make this a better, stronger country.
If the Republicans are going to reflexively oppose every thing the president says, we may as well get something useful out of the deal.

But where does he stand on drinking water?

@joes527: @Joe Bauers: I’d say “great minds” and all that, but the joke writes itself. Doesn’t make it any less funny, though.

You’re not taking it far enough. If Michelle Obama did a series of PSAs on the dangers of licking live power sockets, the wingnut population in the country would drop by 50% overnight.

Romney Promises To Nominate Judges ‘In The Mold’ Of John Roberts On Website
This is turning out to be a fun day.

Does this mean that Grover Nordquist will back a primary challenger to Justice Roberts?

That would make a good topic for the weekly address on YouTube. And the reaction: “I’m gonna mix me up a rat-poison cocktail! That’ll show him!”

@Litlebritdifrnt:
They changed it to read “seventeenth Chief Traitor”. These assholes are so dumb they can’t even vandalize Wikipedia right. Even if Roberts were the “Cheif Traitor”, he’d be only the first–or maybe the second, after Earl Warren; but not the seventeenth. Wingnuts are sad.
I only hope this drives them over the edge even farther; the more the country sees of these freaks, the better off we’ll all be. Come on, guys, shout it out: “Obama’s a nigger! Democrats are nigger-lovers!” Don’t be shy, now; let all that anger and hatred spew out. You know you want to. What could go wrong for you?

There:s an Onion piece, something like “Republicans vote to overturn Obama-backed law to destroy asteroid heading toard earth.” This POS can’t link, butt’s awesome. Check it out.

Truly. In FreeperLand, being required to get health insurance of some kind (in two years time) is the exact equivalent of being made slaves in the Vituppian salt mines.

Seriously, Obama should take a strong stand on retaining Social Security. Most people would naturally assume that Republicans want to eliminate it. Which, in fact, they kinda sorta really would like to do.

It’s so much fun watching the Republicans having to play defense.
Also love how the media is getting bashed for getting the initial reporting wrong.
One of the stories shows Obama holding an iPad or tablet with the erroneous Court headline.
However, the Court could have minimized the confusion if they got into the 21st century. Even the 20th century might help.

Biden needs to hit the trail thanking Romney for Romneycare now. Credit needs to be given.

They’re back!
Close your browser and re-open. That cured it for me.
Or at least clear your cookies. Mine clear every time I close so that may be it. You probably still have to close BJ

At what point does Fox News place a (D) after Chief Justice Roberts name on all their graphics?

@Ruckus: Thanks! I did what you said and now I have the buttons, Tunch must have horked them back up.

I dunno. Don’t dead people tend to vote Republican?

I’ve got 2 winger relatives who are probably beyond help, but they’re all over Facebook today one upping each other on how soon and by how much insurance premiums are going to increase. In a moment of weakness, if I wanted to engage them in actual reality, what would be a good thing to say to perhaps educate them on this issue?
It’s not particularly relevant, but these two people are basically right there with who this law should help. One is about 50, has diabetes, and has had a couple of heart attacks. Her husband is a small town police officer who I doubt makes more than $35k. The other is widowed and living off a couple of dead husbands’ pensions, with chronic depression. I imagine they both mainline Fox News.

I think the President should speak out against the practice of cutting off one’s own pecker. The Latin term for this practice escapes me at the moment.

I can’t wait until, 10-15 years from now, The Party of Lincoln will be taking credit for the PPACA. Just you watch.
“It’s modeled after the incredibly popular healthcare program that Republican Governor Mitt Romney enacted in Massachusetts!”
“It’s virtually identical to a plan put forth by the GOP House in 1994!”
