Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

A few come from there. Most are riding their trust funds into oblivion.
Where do you think the trust funds came from? Someone in the family line knew something.

Fine. Substitute billionaire for millionaire.

Technically, I'm a millionaire... depending on what the fucking stock market does on any given day.
I sure don't feel like part of the ruling class.

Yea so am I...If sold my property or I when I turn 59 and can actually get access to my investment accounts without penalties.
My vote counts the same as a homeless person's does and I'm cool with that.

Face is entirely sufficient. The only one having a stronger impact on my gag reflexes might be Ted Cruz. Going by looks alone. Doesn't even have to say a word.

Ugh...I cannot even watch Ted Cruz on tv.
Why do so many of the right-wing candidates have penis-sucking pouts?
Nevermind...I already know the answer to that.

Pretty much this whole cesspool of republicunt turds has that effect on me. There's nothing to choose from. Each is worse than the next.

A shame in a way. He was the one republicunt who said something different from the rest of the fools on occasion. He should be a democrat.
