10 AnswersPolitics9 years agoRepublicans - Are you happy to hear your likely nominee formulates his positions on an Etch-a-Sketch?
http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/22/politics/campaign-wr...
Romney's own aide admits that everything he's said during the campaign will be erased like a drawing on an Etch-a-Sketch once he's nominated. How could anyone vote for an insincere candidate like that?

And, is it true that her designer eyeglasses are really miniature teleprompters?
29 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDoes this satirical piece come close to the truth?
I think much of the opposition to health care reform is based on generalized opposition to all things Obama, which, in turn, is in large part based on race. Here's some satire from "The Onion" that really gets close to the truth: http://www.theonion.com/content/opinion/like_hell_...
6 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy is Palin so obssessed with cosmetics?
First there was the little joke about pit bulls, soccer moms, and lipstick. Now she titles her autobiography "Going Rouge."
22 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoObama Haters: Aren't you proud your president won the Nobel Peace Prize?
Obama haters would find a way to criticize Obama if he came out against clubbing baby seals. Their hatred for Obama is stronger than their love of America. That's why they have less credibility every day.
17 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDid the judge in the birther case capture the essence of right-wing logic perfectly?
In dismissing the birther lawsuit as frivolous, the court said: "Unlike in Alice and Wonderland, saying something is so doesn't make it so."
