Dirty Harry Wants Your Punk Ass To Vote

I know what you’re thinking. “Which is worse, a Democrat or a Republican?” Well, to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is an election day, the most powerful civic duty in the world, and you could know you did your part, you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk?

Democrats Are Weasels, But Don’t Let That Stop You From Voting

It’s been a near universal Democratic game plan for the 2014 mid-term elections: Run FAR away from President Obama. Democrats are such fucking weasels. They grow a conscience for about twenty seconds and vote for something like the Affordable Care Act, then when the political winds blow against them, they cower in fear, distancing themselves from their own record, even if that record is one of great achievement.

Paul RyanIt’s been a week since Mitt Romney announced Paul Ryan as his running mate, and in this past week we’ve seen Ryan running away from the two big things that he is known for. If it wasn’t for the “Ryan budget” or his love-affair with Ayn Rand, Paul Ryan would just be another congressman. And if that was the case, it’s probably safe to say he would not have been on Romney’s VP short-list. So why is Paul Ryan running away from the very things that got him on that list to begin with? Did Mitt Romney make a mistake or is this a deceptively clever plan to win the White House?
