AFA is composed of a bunch of fundamentalist whackadoodles who think that the county should operate on strictly christian fundamentalists principles. The take the fun out of fundamentalist and emphasize their unmental approach to EVERYthing.

At least the GOP candidates' numbers are increasing somewhere: Romney and Santorum are both on the rise on the Psychometer.

Santorum won't go anywhere near google for information....wink wink,,,,,

Well, it's easy to kick the bucket while driving 100 mph.

Don't blame the mirror if you don't like what it shows you.

Nice use of special characters though.

Shadrick McGill has that same well-scrubbed, hairless and glazed expression of so many Biblically-brainwashed members of the Religious Wrong. Their mindless blatherings wouldn't bother me so much, if they would ever cotton onto the fact that they cherrypick the book whenever they want to support their own biases, and otherwise ignore it. Leviticus has lots more abominations than homosexuality, and i have little doubt that McGill is guilty of some of them.

The psychometer was so high last week we were getting contact buzzed.

I'd call that a clean sweep.

One that's going to have to be on the Psychometer for this week: Michele Bachmann claiming that she's the most qualified to be president (or whatever she said).

[BadgersBite]

Does anyone want a President that can’t tell the difference between the cost of an IPad and the annual cost to take care of a sick child? This guy should be laughed off the stage.

It's especially shocking, considering the fact that former-Senator Santorum has a daughter with chronic medical problems related to a rare birth defect. He is a prosperous (well, rich, actually) man, who obviously lacks all compassion for people of lesser means who have to confront the sort of challenges that he and his wife have.

Usually, compassion and Republican are two adjectives that are mutually-exclusive, and The Sweater is no exception....

[kareemachan]

He should be booed off the stage.

The napkin v. paper towel rant a while back was priceless. The hits just keep coming...
