34. To this day, I still get a kick out of Rick Santorum's "Blah People" comment.

Oct 2012

I mean WTF is a blah person? Somebody who goes around saying "blah blah..blah"? Shit, Frothy, at lest come up with a good lie! And I was genuinely hoping that Mr.9-9-9 would win the nomination, so that I could see all the wingnut heads explode having to choose between two black candidates. But yeah, fuck the polls. Fuck how they credited Robme with the win in the 1st debate, even though he got caught in more lies. They've been talking about the race as if it's hella close, yet I always see a whole swarm of people at Obama stump speeches compared to Robme's. Plus it seems like there are more Reds who have crossed over this election, and I still have yet to find any registered Democrat supporting Robme. JMO, but I have a hard time buying the notion that despite all his gaffes, Robme was still somehow close behind, but just ONE debate put that fucker ahead.
