In other words, you can't or won't give up the insults as part of your posting personality?

Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.

And you got that out of me posting a thread about civilized insults?

Here's one even you can understand. Eat shit and die.

"I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." (Sarah Palin,Dec 2009) ************************************ DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Me) I don't know or F ing care.

That guy's a frickin loon.

I wonder why he even posts here.

Maybe he is really a conservative just out to make liberals look bad by pretending to be one and repeating the most absurd of their positions.

That, or he just a petulant idiot.

It would seem he failed- again.

Considering how much shit the guy eats, it's amazing he still posts here at all.

I mean, how many more times can the moron be handed his own head, before he finally gets the HINT?

Oh, BTW... I liked the quotes. Good stuff!

This is a very humorous thread topic.

You are the type of person who would die and go to hell and sent all eternity complaining about the climate control system and dunning the devil for the phone number for the local ACLU office to complain about how your rights are being trampled on there.

You would also bore everyone with how upset you were the noose used to hang you was improperly tied as you counted only twelve wraps in the knot instead of the requisite thirteen.

Probably my Catholic upbringing would have me do that.
