So last night, when I was browsing the un-Australian food section of my local supermarket..... -- nm - prayformojo Oct 10, 07:22 8
- it's a term that gets used a lot here, and fundamentally un[nationality] always kind of amuses and confuses me. - mafic Oct 10, 07:30 6

      - well, it's not so much avoiding it, as it is kicking it down to road a little bit, but I agree that it would be a plus. -- nm - znufrii Oct 10, 07:37

- At this point, the only logical answer is that the entire GOP leadership is that effing dumb that they don't realize this is destoying them. -- nm - MDH Oct 10, 07:10 3
  - It only destroys them if there is actual voter backlash at the polls. And that is more likely to take the form of moderates getting ousted in favor - TWuG Oct 10, 07:26 1
