  • The thread for amusing, insightful, newsworthy or outrageous political Tweets

    This political season has brought about a change that I never saw coming - I'm all in on Twitter. I check it on my phone and my computer. I Tweet sparingly but I re-Tweet like an effing Tweet Banshee. I have a handful of favorite political Twitter accounts I follow - IowaHawk (David Burge) might be my favorite (even though he's stubbornly refusing to jump on the Mitt Wagon and ride). Borowitz Report (Andy Borowitz) is also in the top tier. For pure pithy politics, Mike Murphy is great. Secupp ... amaeryllis also is a hard drinking NYC securities attorney and had the funniest Tweet of the Iowa caucus ("I would do things to any one of those Romney boys that would make Rick Santorum blush") allahpundit and edmorissey of HotAir are both pretty active, Ryan Streeter, Hugh Hewitt, Slate, and Commentary (commentary magazine) help round it out... The Onion is also indispenable

    Here are a few items from today to kick off the thread:

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            Romney should seriously consider doing a 'Sister Souljah' on Palin. Perfect target: hated, hapless, hopeless. He'd win the middle.

              Seriously, whats wrong with speaking French? Has the GOP delved so far into patriotism that being able to speak some language other than English is seen as a negative?
              "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      And suddenly it seems possible that Mitt Romney could careful his way out of the nomination.
