JohnRich 4 #1 September 20, 2011 Really! See: Obama for America 2012, Store News story: Human Events I guess that makes sense, because the way the polls are going, dogs will be the only friends he has remaining. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,132 #2 September 20, 2011 >because the way the polls are going, dogs will be the only friends he has remaining. Yep. The only people polling lower than Obama are . . . . republicans. But not to fear. Maybe they could sell pooper scoopers with "Vote GOP!" on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does "yep" mean that you agree that dogs will be the only friends he has left? And you're wrong about the only people polling lower being the republicans. The democrats poll even worse than Obama, and the republicans better. Obama approval: 15% Democrats.....: 13% Republicans...: 19% Source: Gallup Obama job approval Approval ratings of Congress, by political party As for pooper scoopers, that's what the 2012 election will be - sweeping the shit out of office and returning it to the home district which created it.

kelpdiver 2 #5 September 21, 2011 For the humor impaired, get a fucking life and ignore this posting. -------------- Really, John? Was this supposed to be witty or funny? Surely you can do better. He's also selling onesies for kids. Because he's full of shit. He's also selling aprons. Because of his economic policies, you can't afford to eat out. He's selling a Made in the USA tshirt. But you know it really comes from China. Now if you also get the kitty collar, you can have your cat and dog living together, which Bill Murray taught us is a sign of the Apocalypse. And as we know, this is overdue, having missed its day earlier this year. Personally, for the official or unofficial Obamaware, nothing beat the 2008 Bros before Hos shirts. ------ Now if we checked out the GOP side, what might we find? Michelle Bachmann's website seems to be a recursive set of links asking for money. Can't find any substance anywhere, let along merchandise. But elsewhere, patriots are filling in the void! uh, oh. The "Dogs for Bachmann" postcard. I guess her support is going to the dogs as well, John. http://www.zazzle.com/dogs_for_michele_bachmann_postcard-239464163856250214 and the doggie t-shirt! http://www.zazzle.com/michele_bachmann_2012_dog_shirt-155089571268410817 And here is another gem...looks like it's not just science that is going to the dogs. http://www.zazzle.com/take_bach_america_with_bach_sticker-217063456386291598 In light of last week, this Bachmann sticker may become a best seller: http://www.cafepress.com/+bachmann_tard_sticker_rectangle,563793278 Now about Rick Parry...he does have a much higher quality website, and a much smaller, more tasteful donate button on the right. But still no store! What's wrong with these guys? I'll need to look elsewhere again. Now what was that about Texas being full of steers and queers? I already can see the steer, so does that make him... http://www.zazzle.com/rick_perry_president_2012_t_shirt-235282681736222669 This one was probably a bad idea. At the very least, an affront to God. http://www.zazzle.com/got_rick_rick_perry_2012_president_tshirt-235717683182497374 I really wanted to find a tshirt with him holding a rifle/shotgun, but no luck. Maybe in time for Xmas? Now as for Mitt - he has an even better looking website, and fuck me, he has a store! And the donate button got even smaller. Now there's not a lot of product here - just the classic tshirts, hats, buttons, bumperstickers with his campaign logo: "Believe in America." Very traditional, classy, upbeat. looking outside, I couldn't find any freak show stuff. http://www.cafepress.com/+romney_2012_the_final_frontie_white_tshirt,362443199 This one was as funky as it gets, and I couldn't find an anti-Mitt page(s) like the other two. If we were picking the nominee on this basis, he's the clear choice. Just a few more goodies for the fans out there. http://www.cafepress.com/+rick_perry_pray_the_stupid_away_dark_tshirt,572629768 http://www.cafepress.com/+palin_bachmann_dumb_and_dumber_dark_tshirt,428239344 this one really steals from the Simpsons: http://www.cafepress.com/+bachmann_leader_not_reader_dark_tshirt,550926191 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The difference between our posts is that my product came directly from the official Obama reelection campaign web site.

Another point in Mitt's favor. The other two aren't qualified to lead America. And yes, you missed the point, badly. I'm laughing at you, John. Is Obama or his supporters supposed to feel shame for offering these products? How seriously were we supposed to take your post?

It sounds like you're making assumptions about who "my candidates" are. You don't really know, because I haven't said. Quote And yes, you missed the point, badly. I'm laughing at you, John.

(or mine for that matter) What do I have to do, start peppering these kinds of posts with all kinds of smiley faces so that folks will be able to recognize a joke when they see one. Sheesh. I thought it was very obvious. If you're taking dog collars and related political commentary serious, then you need to lighten up. It sure is fun to see how up-tight the Obama supporters get when someone dares to make fun of their hero. And after all, that's what this forum is all about; not serious civil discussion, but making fun of people. I'm just playing their game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok - who wants to bet even a nickel that John's candidate is Obama, and isn't instead coming from the GOP side? Ruling out Obama is correct. However, that's still a long way from figuring out who I'm likely to vote for, as the field is quite large, and includes both the GOP and independents. If the total possibilities are "X", all you've done is narrow it down to X - 1. Quote Quote And yes, you missed the point, badly. I'm laughing at you, John.

Obama approval: 15% Democrats.....: 13% Republicans...: 19% Source: Gallup Obama job approval I clicked on YOUR link and it says: "President Barack Obama's job approval rating averaged 40% last week" Last time I checked, 40% > 15%. Maybe arithmetic works differently in Texas. Also your Congressional party approval numbers seem out of touch with the consensus: www.pollingreport.com/cong_dem.htm www.pollingreport.com/cong_rep.htm... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
