Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Dad: I hope Romney wins the popular vote but doesn't end up winning the presidency so we can listen to the Republicans cry for four more years. Serve 'em right. I did my eight years under Bush. It's your turn, right-wing bastards.
Shit guys, all I can say is that I really, really hope Obama gets reelected because my escape plan just went up in smoke.
Also, where’s my binder full of women?

Feminists: They literally believe that their life is in danger.
Wow. Just…WOW! #Ignorant

omg everyone, go to google images and search “completely wrong”
I love these.
Fuck you, Mitt.
Romney (and his family) directly benefited from the social safety net, and now he wants to pull the ladder up behind him.
This shit literally brings tears to my eyes. My father worked for thirty years before sustaining massive head injuries in a car accident. He can’t work any more and so collects disability. What kind of education do you think my little brothers and sisters can afford? My older brothers and sisters and I had to bust our asses working through high school as well as earning full-ride academic scholarships just so we could get out of Youngstown, Ohio, which is an economic black hole, not unlike Mitt’s hometown of Detroit.
Fuck you, Mitt.
These are so great. My personal favorites are the WWII vet and his own father.
His own father.
my mom is a maternity nurse
Mom: You'll never guess what happened to me at work today.
Em: What?
Mom: Some idiot patient complained to my boss and accused me of using profanity on the phone with her.
Em: Are you kidding? What did she accuse you of saying?
Mom: She wouldn't say.
Em: Then it's obviously bullshit, right?
Mom: The only thing I could think of that could possibly be construed as....in some alternate, Republican universe...
Em: You said "vagina", didn't you?
Mom: I did.
All I can hear in my head right now is Oprah screaming “YOU get a gay husband, YOU get a gay husband, EVERYBODY GETS A GAY HUSBAAAAAAND!”

Me: Why am I watching the Republican convention?
Her: You tell me. That's only going to depress you, me, and everyone we know.
Her: Except crazy relatives. Your Grandma and my Uncle Leo love it.
Her: I don't even know how you stand this. Just reading the highlights online makes me sick.
Me: Glass of wine in one hand.
Me: Bottle of wine in the other.
Her: That's my girl!
Mitt Romney isn’t the only rich person who is out of touch with the reality of middle class experience. (I would argue that Obama—who is also plenty rich—is out of touch, too.)
But it is truly, truly astonishing that Romney referred to “the waiters and waitresses THAT come in,” because of course you do not say THAT when you are referring to people. (You say who.)
You say THAT when you are referring to objects.
I realize this is a common grammatical mistake, but the fact is, Romney has great grammar. He says who all the time when referring to people. But when referring to service workers, he said that.
I hope he apologizes.
