Pelosi: Gingrich presidency "not going to happen"

Anyway ... how 'bout Congresswoman Pelosi declaring that Gingrich in the White House is "never going to happen." Who does she think she is, Vito Corelone, and Newt just another pezzanovante?

Michael was running things by the time they got to the pezzanovante discussion....

"Michael, I always wanted something different for you...Senator Corleone...Governor Coreleone..."

"Dad..just another pezzanovante..."

It went something like that, I didn't look it up to be exact.
 
So then attack her on her position in politics, don't bring up her religion.

Politics is public, religion should be private, like someone said, a persons spiritual beliefs should only be judged by their maker, not some guy on a message board.

She brought up the topic of religion; she entered it into the public debate by calling herself "a devout Catholic." I'm not judging her; I'm pointing out the irreconcilable contradiction of her support of abortion with being "a devout Catholic." She's choosing sides and nullifying her claim all at once.

A great scene that was written by Robert Towne. The Don used the term as well, ironically, to identify Catholic Church officials.
 
Jever made a Godfather reference just the other day on the Obama at Michigan thread on the Michigan board...a reference to the scene when Michael takes out the the Turk and the dirty cop...

Not the best place to discuss that scene in the picture.

Well, You calling her a "traitor" sounds pretty close to judging her.

So let's just agree that we disagree, otherwise this thread is likely to hit 50 pages.
 
I think the two of you should keep it up, actually, it's pretty entertaining and there isn't much else going on right now on the boards....

I don't discount that claim, and I have my own inconsistencies to reconcile; that's a fact. And it's enervating besides, to point out other's eye-planks.

You can used my own words against me; I will not object:

Hmmm...who was it who started that silly crap?

[quote="Mitch":afhiiryg]Its awfully wrong how many Catholics vote for a democrat candidate when you're taught to be pro life. Which differs on the democrats ticket.

I'll be back next month with another opinion. Cheers.


Almost as wrong as the idea that a person can't make up their own mind on issues.

Where do I sign up for the Mindless Robot Party, Mitch?[/quote:afhiiryg]

Then why be part of the Catholic church if you're against the Catholic ideas?

No, really, I was serious.

I was kinda hoping we could keep that going and derail the fuck outta this thread, but it was not to be. :-[

Then you should have at some point brought up a movie like Key Largo or The Cincinnati Kid rather than The Ten Commandments.

Even Double Indemnity. Great movie.

There are a lot of Catholic idea's Mitch, I think a person can still be a "good Catholic" and still have an opinion of their own on certain things.

I mean, what if I said why be a Tigers fan if you don't support Brandon Inge?

I didn't bring up Ten Commandments, I brought up Chuck Norris, and it went nowhere.

If only this was Barrens chat in World of Warcraft.....that Chuck Norris thing would still be going.

It went nowhere because Chuck wanted it to continue. I quote him here: "true patriots" do not stay clear of discussing religion and politics.
 
THE TOP TEN CHUCK NORRIS FACTS:


01 Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

02 Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

03 Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.

04 If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.

05 Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

06 When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

07 Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck Norris met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.

08 Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.

09 They once made a Chuck Norris toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.

10 A blind man once stepped on Chuck Norris' shoe. Chuck replied, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Chuck Norris!" The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Chuck Norris.
 
In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.


Crop circles are Chuck Norris' way of telling the world that sometimes corn needs to lie the fuck down.

Chuck Norris once ate an entire ream of rice paper and shat out origami swans and Mister Miyagi from Karate Kid.

Chuck Norris' iPod came with a real charger instead of just a USB cord

If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

Chuck Norris sent Jesus a birthday card on December 25th and it wasn't Jesus
