A deconstruction of hyperbolic rhetoric common on both sides but particularly self-defeating on the left, at times I'm likely to appear maddeningly conservative and (I hope) refreshingly liberal.
Winston Churchill said that you can count on America doing the right thing, but only after all the other options have been tried.

I came to Partybuilder for an argument, only to discover this is Abuse. Anyone know where room 12A is?
That's what I think the headline will read when he finally decides on a VP. But we all know all the obvious candidates. Are there any dark horse candidates that haven't been discussed much in the media?
Nunn
Kaine
Sebelius

From a friend of mine on another website:
"The picture below is emblematic of Papa Bush. He looks at a situation and thinks "Hehe, yeah, this is the solution". However, the rest of the world can see he's got it all arse-backwards.

What's with all the frivolous attacks on one another? Why is it that people feel the need to attack someone when the issue is neutral in nature?

...please post your intention here in the next 5 minutes so we can get a true reading of how many people aren't going to vote for him.

The spate of accusations and counter-accusations has hit an all-time high, and we've degenerated into endless bickering and finger-pointing. One hardly knows whether to laugh or cry. Read More »
