    I suspect if Stephen Colbert had made the same comment, people would be licking his rear end about how amazing it was...
    And Colbert did

          My god I hope Santorum doesnt get re-elected.. There was a televised debate here in Pittsburgh the other day where he got nose-to-nose with his opponent and started shouting at him to look in the camera and admit something that was trivial.. the opponent missed a vote or something.. I really hate that candidates make that type of thing a part of their campaign because they know there is a segment of voters who base their decision on such facile displays of aggression.. If this country spent more on education there would come a day when that sort of crap would not fly in political campaigns.

          We dont need anymore hard-line ultra conservatives in Congress. We need more socially-conservative economic liberals like Bob Casey. I hope all Pennsylvania Apolytoners will join me in voting Casey into office!

              Imran speaks truth. It won't happen. It's not politically expedient to be fiscally responsible.

                I think we need more politicians who are not crazy, stupid, ineffectual or corrupt, regardless of political orientation. But now I'm just dreaming...

                  Being fiscally responsible does not an economic conservative make.

                    Yes, you are. Or you're creating a recipe for a takeover by sane, smart, effective, morally pure... evil.

                      They are called Libertarians. These folks are also in favor of being fiscally responsible. Bob Casey is a Republican in Democratic disguise. Because he is running against a foolish nutjob, he would get my support. But he's no Democrat and he is not a social liberal or an economic conservative.
