Once again you Repubs use the term "most Americans" but fail to show any poll that has "most Americans" against it.

The same was said for Ron Paul fanatics in here.
Bible thumpers know there is no false idol.
The ignorant don't know that.

Yes. I am not sure where bigotry enters the picture.

Sorta like using a game traditionally linked to to cerebral superiority to make a point? And in the admittedly narrow field of chess, it appears I am intellectual superior to Ted Cruz. In that I know how to set up the pieces.

If you must display your gaudy Hammacher/Schlemmer chess set to demonstrate your intellect, learning the rules - or at least reading chapter 1, "Setting up the Board" - might be 20 minutes well spent.

Nice bazongas on the Queen, though. Subtle and elegant.

(And yes, it's "Ted" Cruz. You got me there.)
Hammacher/Schlemmer, Is that what that is? It's a weird board. That's the kind of board you have if you want to set it up just for show. Give me the good old staunton for playing. What's with the raised ranks?

Obama never said there was 57 states

But this is America and you have a constitutional right to both. I fought in Desert Storm to defend your right to speak such utter nonsense.
You fought in Desert storm because you chose too. I had the right to speech prior to Desert Storm.

What hubris in saying your service defended somone's rights.

<shrug> I haven't even paid attention to the guy. Just pointing out the hillarity of people using gaffes etc. to try to denigrate a political opponent which is old hat but low brow. Which is why I sarcastically referred to complaints about Cruz as racist to borrow upon another popular meme here.

I honestly don't care which party wins the next presidential election, that's a looooong way off.

He promoted a woman. That alone should make him a liberal hero.

Do you people have any idea how stupid and idiotic you sound with that "they're scared" statement that got really old a long long time ago? What makes you sound even stupider is when somebody on the left makes what you people are calling "just a gaffe, gee you must be scared of him" you're all over him like flies on ****
