Obama will WIN BIG over Romney in another LANDSLIDE victory ... the same as he did to John McCain !!!

Think about this .... McCain beat Romney in 2008 as the Republican nominee. Obama proceeded to slaughter McCain. Do you actually believe Romney now has even the SLIGHTEST chance of beating Obama ???
There was no slaughter of McCain, he stepped aside and gave him the win. Probably the plan all along. Same with Hillary, gushing over how honored she was to be in his presence. The whole damn election was a farce.

Rather than admit your mistake, you seem bent on making it again. Brilliant!
Only one-third of voters say they can relate to Mr. Romney, while nearly half say they can relate to Mr. Obama.

Guess nearly 1/2 of all voters disagree with what you just said. That's a lot of people. More than 130 million voted. So that would be like almost half of 130 million people think what you just said is bananas.

Oh I'm absolutely sure liberals can relate to Obama, just as a fly can relate to a mound of horse****.

IMO, and many other's, dogs are much smarter and are bred for companionship. Therefore the cows and pigs are the ones we should eat, God (or Budah or Mother nature or Allah or insert answer here) created them for our consumption.

Goat is also perfectly acceptable.
In my 30 years on this planet I've lived in NYC for exactly 6 months. I've been around a few cows, and yes, they seem dumb. I totally disagree with your pig statement though. If those breeds seem to live only to roll in mud and ****, it's because they were born in mud and **** and knew nothing else in the 7 months they were alive before being slaughtered.

And the point of my post was not to make relative judgments about the intelligence of animals. That's an incredibly hard thing to judge. There are many kinds of intelligences and many ways to measure such intelligences, both of which are extremely hard things to judge in animals. As such, it seems ridiculous to say that certain animals were "meant" to be eaten and others were not "meant" to be eaten. Such judgements seem to me to be arbitrary and based more on personal affections, cuteness, and a continuance of whatever tradition that person comes from.


He are my 3 basic criterion for consumable animals:

1) Only tasty animals should be eaten
2) Only plentiful, non-threatened or non-endangered animals should be eaten
3) Evolutionarily close relatives of Humans - in other words other primates - should not be eaten for health reasons

I caught just the president's monologue last night and I found it to be very funny. I thought he did a great job and I especially enjoyed seeing Michelle's face when the camera cut to her.

Oh, and just so you all know, I am a pit bull owner, a dog lover and I don't particularly care for Obama as a president but I still thought it was funny.

My pig statement is absolutely correct. Ask any pig farmer. But I do agree with nurture vs. Nature (in most cases) .

And I totally agree with your last 3 points.

Good point. Where are the NaziFems?

His timing was pretty good. The jokes...not so good. Just dumb. And the opening bit with him flushing was just plain pathetic.

The best joke of the evening was the one where Kimmel defined 'term'.

So you vote for a president who tells jokes you like

You are definetely on the list of the growing number of dumb Americans......I figure you fit somewhere between Snooki and Octomom
