Glenn is crying because he is devastated to finally see the kind of people who support him.
He looks like he just flew across the country to meet an internet romance, only to find that the babe in the pics is actually a 350 pounder with multiple tatoos, missing teeth, and an aversion to soap and water.

And, while we're on the subject, Mr. Fischer thinks that the founders only intended the 1st amendment for the protection of the "genuine" christian religion.
If we're going to be Puritanical about this, he should also espouse the literal running out of town of minority faiths, the way that Quakers were run out by the Puritans.
He lives in Boise. The single largest faith in Boise is the LDS church (which, of course, never would do such a thing.)

I thought Romney's statement was pretty weak. If he had actually called out some of the people by name -- they do have names -- I might respect him more.
As it was, it was more an expression of Romney's frustration at not making more headway with this important voting bloc, even with all the pandering and flip-flopping on abortion and the other embarrassing concessions he's made to them.
I'll bet he ends up doing what McCain did -- getting the nomination because he's next in the GOP good ol' boy line of succession, and picking a VP who makes the religious right happy.

re: #105 Charles
I thought Romney's statement was pretty weak, actually. If he had actually called out some of the people by name -- they do have names -- I might respect him more.
As it was, it was more an expression of Romney's frustration at not making more headway with this important voting bloc, even with all the pandering and flip-flopping on abortion and the other embarrassing concessions he's made to them.
I'll bet he ends up doing what McCain did -- getting the nomination because he's next in the GOP good ol' boy line of succession, and picking a VP who makes the religious right happy.
And if that happens, I still won't vote for him, because to give Romney and his probable RR-approved VP any real power is to validate the RWNJ crazies (to whom he is pandering to) and give them power.
Fuck that...

serving for these people is not a desire to do good, it's an obsession to win power...no sane person would put themselves through this bullshit unless the crave is uncontrollable...I can't believe a decent guy like Romney would stoop so low and get used like this...it's disgusting in more ways than one, and like CJ just said, wtf doesn't he call out these freaks?....where is his personal integrity and what's he got to lose?....he wants it too much imo

re: #110 albusteve
Steve you would not believe what happened at the lodge during the game.. It's packed and everybody had been drinking since breakfast.. And OU had an incomplete pass and everybody was screaming it was good!
Then behold I spoke up during the commercial.. No good! Ball touched the ground!
The fury of 50 OU fans turned on me.. It was funny.. I said you Guys need to learn the rules or get new glasses! That spun them up! About then the TV said the pass was incomplete..
It was cool.. But at the end of the Bar was a big Biker girl that was really pissed.. She starts yelling at me and pointing at me.. I can't help it.. I've trashed talked sports my whole life...But then I realized..She is deadly serious and about 15 seconds away from starting a fight with me...
I had to bring it down fast for her and be pleasant real fast..Bought her a beer...People are serious about football here...Plus...She was pretty rough looking.. I think she could have taken me...Sometimes people take me wrong.. I say stuff and like having a good time.. But I can rub you the wrong way sometimes....
I could see in her eyes my fun trash talking ways were not working in sports here.. Which is OK..But pretty much everybody around this place carry guns and drinks a lot..

re: #45 Charles
Cain 23%
Romney 4%
Huntsman 0%
Adds a whole new dimension to that idiotic LDS bullshit theology of the Curse of Cain.
Go, Herman! Make those white Southern Baptist confederates vote for The Black, since they have something to prove about it.
