Strange bedfellows.


Rick (I should be in a) Sanitarium is a former senator here in Pistolvania who got his ass kicked by Bob Casey when he tried to represent our state in Washington. Now he is running for President. Yes, this homophobic neanderthal who actually stole from the people of Pistolvania to benefit his own family actually thinks that he can become president. (As one writer said recently, he couldn't beat Sasha Obama.)


So here is the funny part: Remember I said that he was a homophobe? Well he actually kicked off his campaign by lifting some lines from a very famous homosexual who also happens to be....wait for it...wait for it...black!


"Salon reports that the day after announcing that he was setting up a presidential exploratory committee, Pennsylvania Republican Rick Santorum's website featured the slogan "Fighting to Make America America Again." That is, until a student clued him about its similarity to the title of the poem "Let America Be America Again," by Langston Hughes (the avowed leftist, black, pro-union poet who many people believe was gay).


Uh-oh. Hughes, evidently, is not the best symbol of the version of America Santorum was pitching at an "Econ-101" town meeting at New England College:


Santorum by and large stayed on message but was tripped up a bit when a student asked him if he knew that the choice of his slogan, "Fighting to make America America again," was borrowed from the "pro-union poem by the gay poet Langston Hughes."


"No I had nothing to do with that," Santorum said. "I didn't know that. And the folks who worked on that slogan for me didn't inform me that it came from that, if it in fact came from that."


The student, whose name was not immediately available, was referring to the poem "Let America Be America Again." When asked a short time later what the campaign slogan meant to him, Santorum said, "Well, I'm not too sure that's my campaign slogan, I think it's on a web site."


It was also printed on the campaign literature handed out before the speech." [Source]


Whoops.

NEW YORK -- Susan Goscewski spent 30 years climbing the professional ladder. It took little over two years of unemployment for her to tumble back down.

Cast out of the workforce in December 2008 following the financial meltdown, Goscewski, 59, never expected to go for so long without a job. She had three decades of steady employment history and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon, one of America's top business schools. Her last position, as director of development for a nonprofit, paid $90,000 a year.

Last month, she finally found a new job: as a classroom tutor at a bookkeeping training center, working 20 hours a week for $15 per hour. Even if she works 50 of 52 weeks at that rate, she'll make just one-sixth of her 2008 salary.

Where did the Santorum go? All the wingnuts must have sucked the Santorum from the thread. Is it their love for Santorum? Was it the christian thing to do?

Why yes, Santorum took your tax dollars and this young buck (for a R) declined to educate his children with the money. Those funds could have been used in the School District...but Santorum is a Welfare Queen. Where is the personal responsibility? Where was the accountability (it sure do help that the person giving the OK to this was an R and fellow beleever)? What about character?

Tell us all about it Abdul.

Ahoy, upbutt.

i think her point is you are a stupid cunt, she didn't say any of this was new information, but she does have a passion for positive race relations. you on the other hand are bitter and angry and give black women a bad rap. not all of us are this way maria. i would choose maria any day to hang out with over a sad "woman" such as yourself. in your hatred you are becoming what you most despise.

Uncle Billy Bob must be working the late shift tonight.

You know as a cancer researcher, I'm compelled to tell you that because you're the receptive partner, anal sex is an etiological factor in anal cancer.

But I can't say I feel an ounce of empathy for you, you freak!

And receiving orally increases your risk of oral cancer given that your partner is HPV +.

So "what you is" is f*cked, literally AND figuratively, from EVERY major orifice!
