I just got one too.

What if Oblama chose Reid and McCain chose Romney?

Freaking hilarious VP debates?

Reminds me of a funny spaghetti western spoof, Rhustler's Rhapsody. The bad guys realize they can't win because they are bad, so they hire a good guy (Patrick Wayne) to fight the good guy (Tom Beringer) that works for the good guys.

One of the funniest scenes is when the two good guys are arguing over who of them is the goodest good guy.

Hello,

That would be pretty hilarious.

So, if Harry Reid was chosen as Barak Obama's running mate, how on earth would they know what opinion to hold? Would they even be able to function at all? Or, would their brains simply implode?


Mormonism, as with most religions, base their beliefs on circular logic. I hate to say it, but this wouldn't implode their brains at all. In fact, they've actually built up an immunity to this sort of problem.

If an element exists within their circle (of logic), it is eternally within the circle, and nothing (ie facts, evidence, reason) can break into the circle (or bubble, if you will). Reid represents something very outside the circle, which are certain liberal viewpoints. If Reid is outside the circle, he doesn't present a problem.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Right, but (hypothetically) what if he comes into the circle by becoming Obama's running-mate?

I'm at a loss as to who to vote for since Pat Paulson passed on.

Maybe I will write in Jesse Ventura/Jesse Jackson as my choice?
