Oh for fuck's sake, this handshake bullshit is absurd.
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 11:33 PM by Elrond Hubbard
Clearly it shows Barack Obama is a horrible man who hates all women. :eyes: :banghead: :sarcasm:
Give me a fucking break.

EDIT: Added the sarcasm thing...lest anyone think I'm actually stupid enough to buy that absurd meme.

5. Bad Religion - The Handshake
Every time you shake someone's hand and it feels like your best friend,
Could it be that it's only superficiality?,
Without regard to well-being, without an inkling of compromise,
Handshakes are nothing but a subtle "fuck you",
Contracts determine the best friendships

This is the way of the modern world, everyone's vying for patronage,
This is the way of the modern world, and something has gotta give

Every time you shake someone's hand,
And you share neither color or creed,
You gotta overcome the obstacles of history,
There is restrained passion, mistrust, and bigotry

And these have created the new foundations of society,
There's no harmony just class and race

This is the way of the modern world,
Everyone's fighting for dominance,
This is the way of the modern world,
And something has gotta give

Now I believe in unity, and I am willing to compromise,
But I'm not gonna lie or sell my soul

Every time you shake someone's hand,
It determines where you stand,
And if you won't uphold your side then it's better to
Fend for yourself, and shun the handshake,
Someone's gotta give

44. I don't think we've seen any Republicans yet... LOL!
Freepers are in a full-on wake for the death of conservatism. Some days I pop over there and laugh at them. It cheers me up.

31. plain, or even ketchup, if there are 'common folk' around...
but secretly he enjoys holladaise sauce on his, using silverware and dishes created from the tiny bones of endangered animals and adorable orphans.

45. He snubbed Clinton because Kennedy telepathically instructed him to
The State of Texas installed an intelligence hotwire in Obama at the United States Army Military Intelligence Academy Camp Bullis San Antonio, Texas. He's the Manchurian Candidate!

21. Um, I thought my reply was self-explanatory
#1 - I agree that the "handshake refusal" story is bullshit.

#2 - I DISAGREE that Barack is a woman-hater.

I'll try to be more obvious in the future.

12. So silly.
I mean really. Reminds me of the freeps saying he refuses to pledge allegence etc. Just dumb. He's not my candidate but he always has impeccable manners. Have you ever walked in a room and had everyone vying for your attention? Obama and Hillary are both grown ups, if either one was distracted or whatever, I'm sure it wasn't intentional.

Put that sarcasm thingy in your post. Things have been so bad this past two weeks. I'm sure Hillary is having a really bad day. First her husband kind of screws her over then the Kennedy's demonstrate actions have consequences in a monumental way the world witnessed. She got humiliated again. So much for her toughness.
