People on reddit are putting together a Trolling political movement for the purpose of demanding that Romney prove he paid his taxes (and then claim that any proof provided are forgeries).
I want to make a quick side-note on the Chick-Fil-A debacle, although without the intent to start another flamewar:
I noticed today (and was surprised I'd forgotten about it earlier), that the Southern Poverty Law Center, the leading organization for identifying and researching hate groups, officially considers the Family Research Council an anti-gay hate group. There's something to be said for the government not interfering with companies based on statements, but I think that financially supporting hate groups is a somewhat different matter.
Can we apply Rym's Jack Thompson rule where we don't talk about a thing until they do an even crazier thing than the most crazy thing they last did to Fox News? I'm getting really tired of the same old shit.
From everything I have read about his positions, I am absolutely convinced that Paul Ryan is the anti-me. Just about everything he stands for is the complete opposite of what I believe in.
Seriously, this guy thinks that in vitro fertilisation should be banned. Why?!
(Note: I am the product of in vitro fertilisation, so when someone comes out and says it should go away, I get a little testy.)
So, I don't know much about the guy, but it seems (from a cursory examination) that Paul Ryan is a flat taxer who really hates abortions, wants to dismantle pretty much all public infrasrtucture, and doesn't get along with "brown people." Am I hitting the mark?
EDIT: Also, he really likes wiretapping, and really doesn't like government oversight of CIA interrogations. Yikes, this guy is a piece of work.
It's certainly not overt, but it's definitely there. If the last republican presidency is anything to judge by, Ryan is the real candidate and Romney is who they'll use as their puppet just like Bush/Vader.
I like Ryan. He's young and still believes that things can be changed and there is good in the world. If I agreed with his policy, I wouldn't want this campaign to succeed because he's more useful in the House than as VP.

Yeah, it's funny like that. He's young, idealistic, still has the passion and drive he needs, the world of politics hasn't sucked him dry of all hope yet. His policy and ideas are just shithouse, and that's the only problem, but it's the worst one.

They've figured out the game! You put your (relatively) high charisma face up front to tank, and let the damage dealing strikers move in for a backstab!

It's juvenile, distracting from real issues, actually kind of has a point and is pretty friggin funny.

Bryan Fischer is advocating kidnapping the children of same-sex couples.
