if someone had said the Supreme Court is going to step in and steal the presidential election for a barely literate cokehead from Texas, they'd have been called "paranoid nuts" too.

Or that three minivans full of Saudi Arabians would set in motion events leading to two wars costing 330,000 lives and nearly 4 trilllion dollars. They'd have been "paranoid nuts".

And the "can't happen here" beat goes on.

First of all, I don't know if the Vice President was literally quoting some gun conspiracy theorist Tommy_Carcetti Apr 2013 #24

I would call you a name Jenoch Apr 2013 #32

So the Vice President loses all credibility unless someone actually suggests that..... Tommy_Carcetti Apr 2013 #33

Why are you so Jenoch Apr 2013 #34

Because your reaction was so shocked that the Vice President would insinuate such a thing. Tommy_Carcetti Apr 2013 #35

Where did you get 'shocked'? Jenoch Apr 2013 #37

Obviously it meant enough to you for you to post it. Tommy_Carcetti Apr 2013 #39
