And you sound like an idiot.

@johnnecron And a democRAT. Nothing worse than a socialistic governmental retarded dependent sheeple type. Combat veteran. ON WHOSE SIDE? Hell for all that matters, Benedict Arnold was a combat veteran, but i doubt many know who he was, since that was real history, not that shit they teach nowadays.

[johnnecron]

you sound like a black militant and possibly a Moslem.

[BlameRepublicans]

That was the direction bush was taking us. We put a stop to that.

@BlameRepublicans Hail DastardLeeBastard, DerTomissaar, All Knowing Furious Leader of the Tommunist Party! Bow before me! Give me your wealth, your soul, all that is yours! Bow before me, or else... you go to my "luxurious" camps! Grovel!

[BlameRepublicans]

@soco13466 I like it. Good luck getting that onto a license plate!

[soco13466]

@BlameRepublicans My title is: Sir Admiral-Generalissimo, Master of the Universe.

[BlameRepublicans]

I am an "American". I don't know what your official title is but "scumbag" seems to fit your kind real well.

[soco13466]

@BlameRepublicans What are you? A democRAT? Anri-American? Sounds like it. You sympathize with the mullahs. therefore you are evil, asswipe.

[BlameRepublicans]

The first thought of any pussy is to run away.  That's your instinct, not mine, pussy.

[soco13466]

@BlameRepublicans : Then move back to whatever sandpit you came from. You are no American. Cunt.

[BlameRepublicans]

Scum bag pussies like you always say "move!" But that's b/c you are a fucking coward. I'm a combat vet US Army. This is my country bitch and you needing your dog shit jesus to get through life tells me you are a harmless coward who will cry much and do little.

[BlameRepublicans]

Moron - it was BUSH who wrecked the economy. It was the GOP who pushed through a 1.3 trillion tax cut to the rich. It was the gop who wasted $30 million PER DAY in Iraq for nothing.

[soco13466]

Another thing: You claim Obama represents Americans. You claim that a man who denigrates our country overseas represents us. He and the party of the ass will find out, when the Americans throw them away, along with their idiot donkey lackeys. Your left wing religion has shown its true nature. the donkeys have turned against America. Want socialism? Move to Venezuela. Good riddance; get out of our country, traitor.

[soco13466]

@BlameRepublicans 3 week HVAC course I almost failed? What HVAC course? Who are you to assume you know even the first thing about me? You stereotype me. Obama is smart, he knows exactly what he's doing, and that isn't good for this country. You left wingers are from fantasy land, economic ignoramuses. Everywhere the left has ever ruled, they ruined the economy. And why am I racist when we have the WRONG black man in charge. there are blacks I would easily vote for, but not a communist.

[antitheo4ever]

best wishes to the Iranian people and hope they can once again join the world to fight the real roots of terrorism which should be clear after 1300 years of regression and and 30 years of opression.

[BlameRepublicans]

Tool, dickhead, & asshole? Sounds like you find me fully qualified for the GOP.

After your little temper tantrum be sure you get to work on time. You have my health care to fund and we need your taxes ASAP. I'm sure that the 3 week HAVC course you almost failed qualifies you for the White House, but I'll stick with Obama thanks. I do agree with you about Obama NOT representing you. He's representing Americans, not greedy racist hate filled cocksucking cowards like you. Thanks!

[soco13466]

@BlameRepublicans : You are another tool. What a dickhead. Most Americans don't know... well, who told you that? Your left wing "professor?" You of the left are true assholes. Your beloved Obama doesn't care about the people of Iran, only his own career and his ego. You know nothing of political history, or of human nature. Anyone reading this comment, or his, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. He is clueless. He doesn't speak for us. His president doesn't represent us.

[soco13466]

@ssvalhall You are a tool. What are you doing in Norway, planning the islamic slavery of that country? Death penalty to opposition? Well, when the people of Iran finally take down the islamo-fascists, you will see the death penalty against them. Sure, the people's will in Iran are run by America. Our "president" doesn't give a damn about the freedom of Iran's people, as he is sunni islamist. Be careful. The freedom seekers are tracking you, monster user of God's name. You will burn in hell.

[BlameRepublicans]

I wish!

[ssvalhall]

Chalabi and Mussawi are U.S.-sponsored terrorists I do NOT deal with. I wish the death penalty and lethal elimination of the whole Iranian political opposition because they are worser terrorists than the U.S.-oil-robbers and the idiot Usama Bin Laden. The criminal gangster we see on this video clip deserves with his gangster-family clan the death penalty.

[momenabdulla]

Tell me some thing. How much money those Dems are paying you?

[ogloosh]

Was no talking about that.

And political parties in general are made up of retards, you are just pointing out the obvious.

[BlameRepublicans]

Let's put this to a test. I'll run for President under the GOP flag. If the GOP passes me through the primary - you're proven right.
