1. So I'm right about everything but the "distortion"

2. It's called the Gungeon for a reason dude. Don't blame me for pointing out that several of the posters here have peculiarly un-Democratic positions, they're plainly Libertarians and they're here to "challenge"

3. http://www.democraticunderground.com/11721111 - It's okay - you can stop whining when I throw the shit-bucket right back.

4. Oh I am using it...

5. You should thank the GOP dude.

6. I've never died I'm a strong supporter of gun control and that I approve of the Brady Campaign. Why are some posters denying they're carrying NRA water, an organization which supports primarily Republicans including an extensive attack ad campaign against the President in 2007.
