Romney wants to cut funding for PBS and Sesame Street

[beaker]

I don't think we really have to fear a Romney presidency. I believe this will be the Democrats' "Regan-Era" in that we'll have 8 more years of them in the White House before the tide turns and the Republican party finds their Bill Clinton candidate (minus the scandals, of course) who excites people and looks at things with a fresh perpsective. That's just my prediction based on the high volume of poor candidates in recent years. They need to rebuild their party that their last guy kind of shot to heck.

Romney is simply this years Bob Dole or Mccain. It's obvious when the powers that be want the incumbent to cruise to an easy victory: They put an immensely weak character as an opponent ala old school WWF wrestling had jobbers. Im not going to say Romney will definitely not win...I just don't see it in the cards unless there's some 1979 Carter October surprise thing

And all four are puppets

Boy, if MADtv were still on, they'd be doing 10 to 20 minutes on this with their SST parody sketches.

GORDON: Hey kids! Bird! What IS goin' on?
BILLY: A bunch of airplanes are dropping bombs all over Sesame Street!
SALLY: And Bird has been dodging bullets all day!
BIG BIRD: (With a bullseye on his head) Yeah, apparently, I'm solely responsible for causing the entire country to fall into a national deficiiiiiiiiiiit... Mitt Romney says I need to be kiiiiiiiiilled.
GORDON: Well, I am sorry to hear about that, old friend. However, Romney does have a point, if people stopped forking all of their money over to PBS, and started using it to purchase products they see advertised on commercial television, that is sure to reboost our economy, and get our country back on track.
*Sniper fire; everyone ducks*
GORDON: Kids, you better run home, and grab your steel pots, we are goin' to war!
BILLY: Again?
SALLY: But Gordon, we STILL haven't been able to end the war in the Middle East.
*More sniper fire*
GORDON: I am sorry kids, but war is America's only option to show the opposition that we don't intend to take any of this lying down!
BIG BIRD: Then maybe we should all get up off of our stomachs, and start fighting baaaaaaaack.
BILLY: But Gordon, haven't you always told us that violence is never the answer to anything?
GORDON: The circumstances are different now Billy, you are growing up, and you need to learn how to fight like a man.
SALLY: But what about me? I'm a girl!
GORDON: You need to hang tight Sally, we may need you on standby, in case the only way to avoid a major crisis, is to let the enemy sleep with one of our under-aged, yet prepubescent girls. Now, everybody up!
*Everyone rises, and more sniper fire ensues, striking Gordon in the shoulder*
GORDON: DAH! BLAST IT!
*Crazy Harry pops in*
CRAZY HARRY: Did somebody say "BLAST"?
OTHERS: NO!!!
GORDON: No old friend, nobody said blast!
CRAZY HARRY: I heard SOMEBODY say "BLAST"!
BIG BIRD: Calm down Harry, nobody said "blast".
*Whistling is heard; Billy looks up*
BILLY: Uh oh! They just dropped another A-bomb on us!
CRAZY HARRY: "BOMB"?!
*Harry pushes down his plunger, causing everything to explode; he laughs maniacally until the A-bomb drops in on them and blows up everything.
GROVER: (Voice) Sesame Street has been brought to you today but the laters G, O, and P, and by the letters P,B, and S; fostering cooperation and partnership for the last forty years.

One of the greatest things about all this is you just KNOW that somewhere Mrs. Romney is FURIOUSLY angry at Hubby yelling at him "You DUMMY! Now even if you haven't blown the election, you've RUINED my chances of being on Sesame Street! What GOOD is it being First Lady if you don't get to go on Sesame Street???!!!!"

Of course it's probably all the best that Romney and the Bird never actually meet as BB would undoubtedly keep messing up his name as either "Twit" or "Mr Wrongney"

Here's something no one has brought up yet. Dried up porn star Jenna Jameson (who at this point has less sex appeal than J. Jonah Jameson) is a supporter of Mitt.

Yep...

Family Man Mitt. Wants to fire Big Bird, gets support for the porno industry!

Not long after when her endorsement first became known I read one quip online that was along the lines of "Finally. Mitt has the support of someone that changes positions more than he does." Brilliant.

I'm voting for Neither.

I wanna like this more then once!!!!

 

[Pinkflower7783]

Obama BOMBED and Romney took out Big Bird or is trying to. We're all doomed!!!

 

[Drtooth]

Here's something...

Rick Sanctorum apparently said something a lot nastier, I can't really remember it but it's like "I wanna kill and eat Big Bird."

Wow...

I'm sorry but...

I'm voting for Neither.

I can no longer believe that. Republicans want to destroy Sesame Street and just have very hateful policies. \Give me the Wuss-ocrats anyday. At least they're not made of malice.

 

[Pinkflower7783]

I'm voting for Forgetful Jones. You know no offense but we can sit here and say either side is trash but lets face it both sides are trash. It personally cracks me up when people say why one side is better then the other when IMO neither is.

I'm voting for Forgetful Jones.

He's more valid a candidate than Ralph Nader or whoever the heck Lyndon LaRouche wants us to vote for.

You know no offense but we can sit here and say either side is trash but lets face it both sides are trash. It personally cracks me up when people say why one side is better then the other when IMO neither is.

Yeah, one's policies are completely hateful and gluttonous... so yeah. They're both the same. I'm sure Al Gore would have gotten us muddled in Iraq as well. It really doesn't matter... until it does.
