Shouldn't it say liberals instead of conservatives?

I'm basing it on his current opinions. I half-assed the the caption anyway.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Pretty much how I feel we're expected to act. You build your money on the work of others, but I forget, you deserve more tax breaks.

Interesting that this would get posted. Not too long ago my dad and I were in the car and I mentioned that it seemed to me like every time I hear a Republican mention "job creators" they would seem to say it with a feeling of reverence and awe.

He did something in 2005 about panhandling and how they live like kings making six figures or whatever, but I don't think he was the first. This is also the guy that got slapped in the face by a professional wrestler, sued the wrestling company for half a million dollars, won, and then and cries about "frivolous lawsuits, tort reform, and non-economic damage caps."

Yeah, he got his, screw everyone else.

I looked it up on Wikipedia, because I was all "dafuq?". That happened in 1984, and he purportedly regrets the lawsuit now. I don't think it's quite fair to take someone to task for changing their opinion in the course of a decade or two. Besides, that lawsuit was hardly frivolous. Those were the days where wrestlers were (supposedly) under orders to physically assault anyone who said that wrestling was less than 100% real. Any company whose policy involves physical assault deserves to be sued.

Two slaps to the face, just under half a million dollars. Hardly gives the guy the principles or legitimacy to tout things like tort reform when he made more money through the courts via those two slaps than most of this board would make in a decade. Besides, I brought it up mainly because it makes me laugh whenever I see him and think "this smug jerk got half a million dollars worth of butthurt out of being slapped in the face"

ETA: I also think its hypocritical that he didn't "regret" the suit so much as to give the money back, or even donate/forward it to a good cause. Just makes me think, again, that he got his so screw everyone else.

Even if there was a detailed plan on how to fix it, republicans won't accept it, shit they go apeshit over ideas that were theirs from the get go.
