    Oh God, not those commercials; I was watching Comedy Central the first time I saw it and thought it was a Reno 911 commercial.

    I always wondered how Darth Vader could get so many loyal storm troopers. I’m beginning to figure it out.

    Don’t forget — these folks don’t live in our reality, they strive to "create their own reality."

    Perception __IS__ reality according to the neo-cons.

    War is really peace. Economic depression is really prosperity. Worldwide hate of the USA is really "Democracy on the march." Tax cuts for the super rich are really good for the middle class. Lying and spying on Americans is really protecting our civil liberties. Outing spys who are trying to capture illegal arms merchants is really patriotic. Cutting healthcare and education will make our country stronger and smarter.

    Yes, it is a congnitive disorder. It’s called Republicanism.

    You’re absolutely right. How could anybody make any attempt to more Border Patrol officers? Time to turn the hate towards folks who would keep out "Democrat" voters. Getting kind of tired of only exploiting the blacks?

    How about calling liberal’s hatred of the military "supporting the troops"? Or whining because we don’t listen to our "allies", who were making ass loads of cash while Iraqis were filling mass graves?

    See Gay Conservative, that’s why no one takes you seriously.

    Thats why the Tim Kaines are winning everywhere.

    Because you’re a fucking idiot, and nobody is listening. Nobody hates the troops including the liberals. They want them the fuck out of Iraq so they dont all die, and that as well as impeachment is called supporting the troops.

    Are you sure that isn’t a commercial for "Ol’ Roy" dog food??? I thought I saw those people before, they’re probably actors. I saw that dog on several dog food commercials.

    "Brought to you by the Bush Ministry of Fake News Reports."

    So, this must mean there AREN’T millions of illegal aliens crossing our borders!

    I figured there would be a caption next to them saying, "Morphin Power!" They are Power Rangers right?

    what’s even more amusing is, all the scenes are desert scenes.. but we accuse Canada of letting in the pilots of Sept. 11, 2001.. Hmm.. no deserts up thar.. Guess the east and west borders (tree/coast) are safe, as are the wooded north..
