Participant[quote=gandalf]Also, nowadays, republican does not equal ‘conservative’. Not anymore.
It just means you’re an asshole.[/quote]
Never thought I’d be defending republicans, but let me qualify this…
Not all Rs are assholes, misguided perhaps? The tea part types are. But the Rs that aren’t speaking up and/or doing something about the nutjobs that are taking over their party probably are. Or they’re just lazy and should go on welfare now before their cohorts run our country into the ground and there’s nothing left…

Guest[quote=enron_by_the_sea]Next, Trump will claim that Obama is not a man! If enough people believe him, Obama will have to pull down his pants to prove that he is indeed a man! LOL!!![/quote]
Trump does not want to compare manhood with Obama.
The egos of about one-half of his supporters would be crushed. The other one-half might discover something they didn’t know before…. and they will no longer support him.
It’s a good thing that The Donald can compensate thanks to his money and the trappings of a society that aggrandizes him.

May 13, 2011 at 10:54 AM #695167GuestInteresting article on Donald Trump and how some people got taken to the cleaners buying into his brand.
“The last thing you ever expect is that somebody you revere will mislead you,” said Alex Davis, 38, who bought a $500,000 unit in Trump International Hotel and Tower Fort Lauderdale, a waterfront property that Mr. Trump described in marketing materials as “my latest development” and compared to the Trump tower on Central Park in Manhattan.
“There was no disclaimer that he was not the developer,” Mr. Davis said. The building, where construction was halted when a major lender ran out of money in 2009, sits empty and unfinished, the outlines of a giant Trump sign, removed long ago, still faintly visible.
Mr. Davis is unable to recover any of his $100,000 deposit — half of which the developer used for construction costs.
Another casualty: his admiration for Mr. Trump, whose books and television show Mr. Davis had devoured. “I bought into an idea of him,” he said, “and it wasn’t what I thought it was.”
