A "centrist" is pleased with the status quo? Stop the presses! nt Romulox Jul 2012 #98

A "faux progressive" is outraged? Stop the presses again! Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #106

You don't need the quotation marks if you say "faux". It's similar to a double negative, the way Romulox Jul 2012 #112

And a "faux instructor" as well. You're just the smartest thing since sliced bread, you are! Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #115

LOL. The only thing our politicians can do is bail out BANKERS, apparently. Unemployment? Romulox Jul 2012 #111

What's even more "bizarre" is your inability to acknowledge the obstruction at every turn. Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #114

Then it doesn't matter who is President. nt Romulox Jul 2012 #117

Truth be told, I don't think it ever really mattered to you. Which begs the question..... Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #118

That's not how "begs the question" is used, actually (I know, I know, it isn't cool to "know stuff") Romulox Jul 2012 #119

LOL! Good luck connecting with us "common folk". I'm learning so much from you! Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #122
