5. he brings unity to GDP
my thoughts exactly - I just thanked him for being a uniter... :rofl:

probably won't last, as soon as they get done ripping him to shreds or the mods get wind of it and he's gone - they'll go back to flaming each other...

but it's fun while it lasts

4. No way a Republican wrote that.
That was written by someone who either knows how to spell or use a spellchecker and has at LEAST a basic grasp of English grammar. From the looks of it, I'd say an Obama supporter who wrote that.

15. I thought it was brilliant.
But I guess satire that dead-on looks an awful lot like a tombstoning offense, and I confess I didn't read very far down the thread. :shrug:

13. A republican did not write that....
...it was so a joke. Someone was bored last night and thought they would screw around. I know a lot of republicans. They do not act like that. Some of them are kind of smart? I think the greed just gets to them.

16. ...
The piñata is a brightly-colored paper container filled with sweets and/or toys. It is generally suspended on a rope from a tree branch or ceiling and is used during celebrations. A succession of blindfolded, stick-wielding children try to break the piñata in order to collect the sweets (traditionally fruit, such as sugarcane) and/or toys inside of it. It has been used for hundreds of years to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas and Easter.

20. It doesn't matter that it's not a Republican.
It's just fun that there's something to kick around in there that isn't fellow DUer.

23. An overwhelming need for wit?
It's a character flaw. I'm working on it.

29. well, I was toying with the idea of setting up another DU account
and signing on as Son of Republican Dad... but I thought that would be too cruel...

however,for the helluva it - here's what I would write:

message title:****HEY DAD, IT'S ME****

Hi Dad,

Yes, this is me - Justin. How did you ever find me here? I guess it doesn't matter.

I know we've had our differences in the past, but, Dad, I'm 20 years old - I'm adult, and as an adult I'm entitled to my own views.
I haven't been brainwashed or anything like that.

I've actually anticipated that you would eventually find out that I'm posting on the DU, and would be upset. I have heard how you repeat everything that rush limbaugh says, and buy all of his fan memorabilia, so it would not come as a surprise if you cut off my college funds. I've prepared for that eventuality.

You should also know, I've switch my major from pre-law to the performing arts. My dance teacher says I have quite a talent for ballet.

I have enough money saved to cover my current expenses, and I'm hoping for a dance scholarship to help out with next year's tuition.

Robert and I will be working with a dance troupe in San Francisco. It should be fun, and a nice city for a honeymoon.

Do you think Mom would lend me her wedding dress? It's not really to my taste, but Robert can perform miracles with a needle and thread. I guess it's too much to expect you would attend our wedding, but we will be sending you an invitation anyways.

love,
Justin

-----------

yes, yes much too mean but if I were to troll bait the troll - that's what I would have written
