The boundless
immaturity of liberals like yourself never ceases to amaze. You are free to
disagree with Republican leadership. But how can you ever expect to be taken
seriously as a mature adult with a differing opinion when you employ tactics
like photoshopping pictures of Republicans onto silly juvenile pictures. I
expect that out of 8th graders.

If I were you, I guess I wouldn't have much of a sense of humor either.
