There is no question of the correlation between being a right winger, and have a severe mental illness.
Hussein has more than double the national debt. Where's your libertard outrage? Oh yeah,....its "for the children",...the loony lefties emotionalism at its finest. Must be nice to be a blissfully ignorant liberal.

The first action taken in beginning a long trip is the FIRST STEP. Begin with PBS and build from there.

So, you'd step over a $100 bill to crouch down and fish that penny out from under the car it rolled under. Gotcha.

Romney-Big Bird: Sesame Street's Sherri Westin says PBS cuts wouldn't kill Big Bird.

One more desperate diversion ploy by Obamabots. OP how do you justify funding entertainment, whether for children or adults, when we are $16 trillion in debt?
Actually it depends where you live whether Romney will "kill" Big Bird. While it is true Sesame Street would likely survive as a show. There are a fair amount of rural broadcasters that would not.

That is the thing about free markets is that they tend to only cater to areas where providing service is profitable. Thus why parts of East Tennessee and Western NC did not get electricity until 1948.

How hard can it be to figure that out?

Never mind. For libs, they'll never get it.

Every day, I thank God I'm not one of them.
I say the same thing about being Conservative. Conservatives rule the 3rd world, not the 1st. Not the side of history I want to be on.

Both the $100 bill and the penny came from the taxpayers, so the government should pick up both. Some have trouble with simple analogies.

So I'm afraid Big Bird has to go. Big Bird must die along with all those other evil puppets who actually represent Communists which is why I want him dead! Do you hear me? Dead! Call me a wimp no more! It's true, boys and girls, that I didn't think going after bin Laden was worth it, but I'm thumping my chest now!! Death to Big Bird!

"Now run along and tell your Mommies and Daddies to be sure they file their taxes this year because my kids aren't paying any so the federal government needs all the suckers they can get. So, tell Mommie and Daddie to vote for me so we'll have lots of money for bombs!

"Oh, and no. I won't answer any questions about my underware."
Love that you spelled it underware.

Makes it seem very durable and substantial, which it is! Think of hardware, warehouse, Tupperware, Farberware- solid, sturdy stuff!

None of that correctly spelled girly-man underwear for the Mittster.

True, the right wingers think the penny is far more valuable, as that $100 bill is going to a poor, poor, corporate exec that "deserves" it.

I had to laugh, it was funny. I would have thought it was a joke too had you not prepped me. So the best they can do is attack him with Big Bird? I don't think we should be funding PBS or the national endowment for the arts either.
