QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) Then come up with better jokes . I don't know, "poo-poo" and "pee-pee" Santorum type jokes aren't really my style.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 11:39 AM) Do right wingers actually think this is funny and not just embarrassing to the person writing it? Well, there's no need to start throwing around insults, Balta.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) Huh? Obama is a role model to many, therefore when the President just prints up money to spend his followers assume it is OK for the to do the same. It's a very simple (and completely correct) theory that I have.

http://www2.journalnow.com/news/2011/dec/3...ke--ar-1765473/ Lexington man charged with making a fake $1 million bill and trying to spend it. A move which was likely inspired by President Obama.

After much thought and consideration, I have decided I cannot settle with second best. I am voting for Ron Paul in the Illinois GOP Primary!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 10:53 AM) Dan Savage, sex columnist/homosexual, came up with that one as a humerous way of responding to Santorum's hate towards the gays, and it has stuck. that's what i figured. but Ron Paul is still worse, right? cause Ron Paul is the ULTIMATE hater.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 10:42 AM) Ron Paul's writings make Santorum look fuzzy and cuddly. Oh,a nd conveniently, I don't need a nickname for Santorum. is the Santorum thing something you guys just came up with? Seems like something Democrats would be really interested in.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 10:35 AM) I'm trying out "Hates-everyone" as a nickname for Paul. ah i see. but isn't every Republican just a mean old racist that hates everyone?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 1, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) Des Moines register poll still shows Mittens and Hates-everyone out in front, but appears to catch a Santorum Surge in the past day or two. who?

Any Ron Paul supporters here?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 28, 2011 -> 04:43 PM) I think your first point can be rephrased as In IOWA, it doesn't matter how much you SPEND, it is how much ASS YOU KISS. They want to feel 'important' and if you don't show them whatever level of 'respect' they think they deserve, they pout and go to whoever kisses up to them the most. ^^^

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 21, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) Huntsman has (incorrectly) claimed that this will lead to blackouts this summer. also "an historic" if Huntsman is actually correct about something it would be news.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 08:21 PM) Of course, our best example of rolling blackouts over the last decade was entirely fraudulent an manufactured by Enron. i was actually watching a show about that about the same time you wrote that post.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 09:16 AM) Menards is where we did most of our shopping after we moved in and were working on a million little projects. A box of drywall screws is right next to the frozen pizza aisle. Can't be beat. Menards sells frozen pizzas now? weird

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Dec 16, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) I'm absolutely not anti-American- there aren't too many places I would rather live (except maybe Canada should Herman Cain have been elected, but that's a discussion for another time). I heard Poland is doing pretty good now-a-days.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) But then they wouldn't get the positive press from joining in the Muslim hating. ah, i see. well then they are brilliant marketers.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 16, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) Maybe because the show sucks? Just sayin. Lowe's should have said that was the reason. "Yea, ratings weren't high enough. So we didn't want to advertise during that time slot" honesty is not always the best policy

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) but just think what happens if a GOP president takes office. the exact same thing

...and Rick Perry makes a fool out of himself again. says he's like Tim Tebow during the debate.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) What10kbuys is now trending on the Twitters. meh

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 12:29 PM) When I lived in the very far southern portion of cook county I hated it. We had nothing in common with the rest of cook county, until they emptied all the Chicago projects into mine and the surrounding suburbs turning them all into s***. The amount of taxes we paid for things like County Hospitals, which were all in the city, was an astronomical part of our tax bill. I am so glad I finally got out of Cook County. my brother just moved out of Cook to Lake county because he couldn't take it anymore. They screwed him on his property taxes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) Anyone want to place a $10k bet about whether or not that's a good debate strategy? oh man, that was bad.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) I'm referring to forming a new state out of an existing one, not seceding from a county. ah ok

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 08:45 AM) Discuss... HuffPo- Illinois, Chicago Split? Proposal To Make Chicago A State Shows Divide In Illinois As a resident of the Cook County "Pan Handle", I wish we would break from Cook/Chicago, but that movement seems to have died. (Actually, I am thinking I should have posted this in The Filibuster, please move if needed) call their bluff and let them leave. of course, the suburbs won't want to be in a state with needy downstaters, so we will have Illinois broke into 3 states.
