You have to be 35 to be president. Wrong. To be elected president.
Only have to be 30 to be vice president last I looked. Wrong like usual, to be vice president, you also have to be 35 years old.

Trust me, I looked at how many people would have to die before I become President currently.
Right now, I'm like #48,563,113, give or take a few thousand depending on the last time I checked and the number of deaths since.

I would only want to be President so I could improve my golf game.
Plus having your own airplane is nice.
Oh and you can kill people (legally)

That and 'liberal doing something stupid' is rather broad.

It's not reported often, that's the real issue.
A Republican sneezes, it's front page headlines.
A Democrat issues a proposal change to the Constitution, if we are lucky, it will make the last page of the news.

Could you even imagine the national outrage if a conservative was to say something about immigration reform being necessary to employ landscapers and people to clean hotel rooms like Florida Democrat Alex Sink does in this short clip? Wow...

I mean, I am completely fine with the absolute annihilation of any elected official that says something stupid, but we've got to hold everyone to the same standard, and that's just not being done... it’s media malfeasance.

I'm sorry but how long was the NSA controversy front page news? Benghazi? Weiner scandal? Clinton's blowie?
Confirmation bias is a ***. Instead of of the usual media scapegoating, the Republican Party could try to practice some introspection and root out the elements of their party associated with the ridiculous statements that pop up on a daily basis. But nah, it's not that the party disproportionately says dumber things on a regular basis. It's that gosh darn liberal media, amirite?

Its kinda funny. With Republican's tenancy towards guns and other offensive movements, it seems Democrats are doing all the attacking.
I do have a good question. Looking back in American history in the 1900s, was this the same deal? Did Democrats go after Republicans in like say 1920s? Not trying to be ugly just wondering from those that know, history kinda goes in on ear and out the other with me... unless its regarding George Lucas.

Yes, partisan mocking and attacks were common and in fact probably much harsher through most of history (not just American history) img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/The_Color_Line_Is_Broken.png[/img]
I guess the big change is the internet, now you just see every know-it-all posting some minor out of context thing and claiming its a sign of how stupid the people who don't agree with them are.

*Preemptive Nix* better watch out, the mods won't allow that pic. I had a similar one but it got nix'd almost immediately.

Well It's a library of congress recorded image, and there is certainly nothing offensive about it unless you just hate the idea of voting rights. But here is an alternative image:

No, the mods wouldn't let you purposefully bait a racism discussion in an inflammatory manner right after they decided to allow discussing it again.

Dont have time to read all the previous post, I am simply responding to the original question. Look up what Anthony Weiner did, and then look up what John Ensign did. Do some serious research on this and see who got the short end. Sorry you have to read.

This is what the moderator had to say about KN's post
I think by 'baiting' they meant the content of the images you posted, in the spoilered one you have political propaganda comparing Democrats to racists. The image macro that isn't spoilered contains stereotypes, I'll let you spot them. I'd suggest trying not to post that type of imagery in the future as it could be seen as baiting and end up derailing the thread into racism. Personally, I question the spoilered image but don't feel either were posted with intent to offend or ostracize.
EDIT: Actually.. Sorry, I think they need to be edited out.
And this was in Random P&R, which has not been deleted. But maybe I missed another thread that was deleted.

I bet you would like that wouldn't you!?
well I won't do it... /folds arms /flatly refuses
first of all that would only leave sixty or seventy people left in the whole party.... ok four... and just where are we supposed to put all these rooted out people!? canada!? they won't even let us visit! and mexico is far too dirty.
so go clean up mexico or you'll just have to wait for us all to die like Oprah!

edit: also stop all the anti-gun nonsense, it's a waste of *** time. yeah the states will just turn into japan and everyone walks around with katanas instead anyway
Get out Canadian, this thread is about 'Murica
I'll start by saying that I do not entirely believe the philosophy for either main political party. As the title says I read through forums on this site and I never see a democrat did something stupid or said something offensive threads? Whys is that?
