If you have to phrase your accusations as questions, it's rather telling that you don't have jack shiat.

If he did, it would be bad news... for McCain.

Bingo. Thread over.

McCain/Palin say ethics violations don't count. Remember? Palin's ethics violations didn't happen simply because she says so.

Maybe Obama should investigate himself and release a report clearing his name.

I think he should make Michelle take the blame...after letting his daughter get knocked-up by an idiot.

Wow. Even their straws are grasping at straws.

Did your mom blow everyone within a nautical mile of her last thursday, subby?

Does John McCain molest little boys?

Wow, I can do it too!!!

Is this the thread where we ask a random question?

I'm totally partisan, and i DRTFA, and I don't know the law, but i'm going to say... no?

Damn straight, we shouldn't ask questions when it's about obama.

Why wasn't your answer in the form of a question then?

Did Obama sire 2 black babies in wedlock?

 
SomeoneDumb 2008-10-19 03:55:47 PM  
Yep. It's another issue that the American voters insist on learning about before casting their votes. We can always count on the GOP to keep us current and well-informed about the things that matter.

(It wouldn't impress me if this was about McCain, either)

since nothing has come of this in six months, i'm going to venture a guess of... no?

We will see the home address and tax status of everyone that attended the speeches by lunchtime on Monday. It's their fault, not Obama's.

Don't ask questions about Chairman Obama, or the Scientobamas will burn your house down.

FTA: "The Illinois Governmental Ethics Act (apparently last changed in 1995) provides:

('Article' 5 ILCS 420/2-110) ... stuff"

From the Illinois state page where the act is hosted as a PDF

"(Articles 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act have
been repealed. Sections 205, 210, 219, 220, 225, 230 and 985 have
been omitted by amendatory provisions."

Dur. Took two seconds.

lol. March?


Man, the repubs have gone full retard. It's like hillaryis44 went global.

 
Indis 2008-10-19 04:04:20 PM  
Posts from March to balance out the Fascist posts?

I smell desperation. Hey, can we also post news that they Clinton and Obama are almost tied for delegates?

 
dasqoot 2008-10-19 04:05:47 PM  
Oh yeah the act was updated in 2007, not (apparently in 1995).

Did I violate Failmitter's mother last night to the point that she gave me her phone number and asked me would I be busy this Friday?

Obama wasn't in office in 2000, 2001, 2002.

He is a politician..an Illinois politician..a Chicago Illionis Democrat. Yes he did something ...lots of things illegal and unethical.

"Scientobamas?" Weak sauce. Try to make your accusatory puns entertaining.
I suggest Obamologists - it rolls of the tongue.

Short of there being a "Dead Zone" moment, I can't see how the guy COULDN'T basically do whatever he wants... People want Socialism. The people will have it.

Illinois has very lenient puppy raping laws. I don't see what laws were actually broken here.

Prepare for the Obama fiasco as Mr. Never Done A F**king Hard Thing In His Life has to actually start working.

Ten bucks says he'll be showing grey by 9 months and fully grey by 2 1/2 years.

The puppy was dressed provocatively and was asking for it.

He beat the Clinton machine... I'd say that is pretty impressive and would take a lot of work.
