My facebook policy is to remain mostly apolitical. Stick to just the facts. I've tangled with my hippy relatives on gun control, vaccines and faith healing, and tangled with a few conservative friends on taxes and economic issues. But I only had to outright drop one friend, because she wouldn't stop quoting bible verses at me.

Though I did raeg when the traitorous tea party fad hit in 2010.

All my Facebook friends are already either filthy liberals or apolitical, so no issue there. You people really should watch all that fast and loose friending.

Mostly ex-coworkers or old schoolmates (like, HS). I can tolerate the occasional derp, but their walls were dripping with derp this morning. I am unable to resist drinking in the schadenfreude of millions of herpaderps wailing that the end is near.

Avatar changed. Strangely, "Now there is another one. There are two of them." is surprisingly relevant...

Here's a good one someone on my facebook posted:

He still needs masonic earrings, I say.

Oh heys, Limbaugh is on. And you guessed it, he's saying that the party needs to become MORE conservative. Because that's working out so well for you guys, isn't it?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I hate not having a radio right now, I want to hear Limbaugh cry so badly. I hope it gets recorded.

RedKing, the GOP did well in 2010 with the Tea Partier. Limbaugh's reasoning ain't totally baseless.

I think the Tea Party was defunded after the Koch brothers realised it was causing long term damage to the party by trying to kick out any Republican with remotely nuanced views.  It gave a nice temporary surge in support but that really wasn't sustainable.

The real question is: Where does North Korea stand? (I mean, obviously, they'd want us to elect the ghost of Kim Jong Il, but he didn't file in time.)

[FearfulJesuit]

It'll be interesting to see in 2016 how much racism influenced this year's race. I'd be willing to bet the Democrats will return to a white guy, and he'll probably have an easier time of it.

Now if only people would be as sane about their House races as they were about the presidency...

Also: why do Pakistanis want Romney over Obama?

[Sheb]

I wonder how come Obama is polling so low in Kenya. Wasn't he a Kenyan communisto-nazi?

[Flying Dice]

We know what must be done: Ship Romney to Pakistan; they want him there!

[RedKing]

They did well, only because the Tea Party was initially billed as being a "Third Way" and non-partisan, and that it was totally focused on fiscal conservatism. Which is to say they lied through their teeth, because as soon as they got into power, they began offering reams of social conservative legislation.

Hell, I was moderately interested in the Tea Party for a few weeks till I saw the kind of racist and homophobic rhetoric leaking out of it. I dunno, maybe it legitimately started out as advertised but somewhere along the line it became distinctly partisan and distinctly hyperconservative.

They just are still pissed off at Obama for sending in SEAL team 6, and embarrasing their military.
