His approval rating is far above 10%, too... I don't see how my answer can be in that article. 50% approval rating, period.

You probably could have saved some time by simply throwing the smear 'extremist', all the while congratulating yourself on how enlightened you are.
Now you're getting somewhere!
What is your position here, Hellblazer? That this woman is unfit to serve simply because she is transgender?
So you're admitting lying to the voters just so you can stick it to them later sounds like good strategy to you.
You sir, are the very element the founders constructed the Constitution to protect our country from.
</thread>
My position is I NEVER want to hear anybody recommend somebody for a position because he/she is the First ANYTHING. 'Nuff said.
Great, no one does.
I think we're back to ground level now?
Was this woman recommended simply because she was transgender or are your prejudices about the Obama administration leading you to believe such?
Besides, this woman wasn't a first anyway, lol. She's simply a transgender appointee and someone for some reason made a blog post about it and someone else for some reason posted it here on WF. This isn't even a news story, but yet, oh noes!!!
Are you a moron? Did you not hear all the bullshit about this appointee being the "FIRST TRANSGENDER"? How He/She mentions it in his fucking speech? How it's one of the biggest selling points? GTFO, troll.
I don't think it's a coincidence that long-time Democratic Senators have all of a sudden decided to "spend more time with their families" instead of running for re-election.
2010 = Bloodbath in Washington
Thanks, Barry!
2010 = Bloodbath in Washington
Thanks, Barry!
No, I didn't.
All I did was read the OP article:
"While Simpson is clearly one of the first transgender presidential appointees, Democratic officials say they're unsure if she is the very first one."
Also, I highly fucking doubt she was selected because she was transgender. You would think that about any transgender being appointed.
---------
Also, I don't see how you can call me a troll without cringing. You literally fit the definition, to a tee. I mean look at your fucking thread history man.
I'm not the one jumping to conclusions assuming that someone is a "retard" making a "pathetic attempt" to argue that transgender people should be hired just because they are transgender or whatever.
blah blah blah
:anon.sml::jester::xmas-smiley-010:
:music06:
Fuck yeah man, thanks for thinking.
He must not only assume we are trying to take that position, but he also must think that this is what happened in Amanda Simpson's case.
Lol why are you calling him Amanda? His name's Mitchell, for crying out loud.
I'm not even sure what article or who you're referring to at this point.
From the OP article:
"President Obama recently named Amanda Simpson to be a Senior Technical Advisor to the Commerce Department."
Really, your one of the dumbest mutherfuckers I have ever had the displeasure to read and that includes the fools on huffpost. Why don't YOU get the fuck out and go back to what ever lib blog you crawled out from.
Lol,
I think you're suffering from a bit of projection.
Any insult coming from you is useless, sorry.
I propose a popeye vs UnripeArbiter preliminary bout before the dullspace vs shane dollaz main event at ASW
Mr. Mitchell Simpson

Mitchell "Amanda" Simpson
According to various media reports, President Obama has hired a transgender woman as a senior adviser at the Commerce Department – but the White House is refusing to confirm the appointment.
Mitchell Simpson, now known as "Amanda" following a sex change, is said to have been appointed senior technical adviser at the Commerce Department. He purportedly began work today.
The Commerce website now lists an "Amanda Simpson" in its directory along with a Bureau of Industry and Security e-mail address. The directory does not list a phone number for "Amanda."
The Obama administration has not officially announced the appointment, and neither the White House nor Simpson responded to WND's calls and e-mail messages requesting confirmation of the appointment.
But in a statement reported by the New York Daily News, Simpson said, "As one of the first transgender presidential appointees to the federal government, I hope that I will soon be one of hundreds."
Simpson, 49, is a former test pilot who made the gender switch 10 years ago while working in Tucson, Ariz., for Raytheon Missile Systems, a major Department of Defense contractor where he became deputy director. According to the Arizona Daily Star, Simpson underwent six surgeries at a cost of $70,000 to make the transition from male to female.
He had his Adam's apple removed, breasts added, forehead ground down and genital surgery.
Simpson became the first openly transgendered candidate to win a primary election in the U.S. in a 2004 bid for the Arizona state legislature, the New York Daily News reports. He lost the general election. He's not the first high-profile transgender appointment in Washington, D.C. In 2008, Diego Sanchez was named chairman of the Committee by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.
Simpson, a board member of the National Center for Transgender Equality, or NCTE, for three years, said in a Dec. 31 statement: "I'm truly honored to have received this appointment and am eager and excited about this opportunity that is before me. And at the same time, as one of the first transgender presidential appointees to the federal government, I hope that I will soon be one of hundreds, and that this appointment opens future opportunities for many others."

Simpson told ABC News he's worried that people will assume he was hired because he is a transgender and not on his merits.(YEAH, NO SHIT SHERLOCK!)
"Being the first sucks," he said. "I'd rather not be the first but someone has to be first, or among the first. I think I'm experienced and very well qualified to deal with anything that might show up because I've broken barriers at lots of other places and I always win people over with who I am and what I can do."
He said he anticipates questions such as, "Is this a token? Are you here to do a job or just to fill a quota or appease other people?"
Simpson continued, "I'm sure I will have to do and intend to do a far superior job than any other person. But I'm sure I will always be second guessed."
"Amanda" Simpson following his "transition"
Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth, a "national organization devoted exclusively to exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda," jokingly asked if there is some sort of "transgender quota" in the Obama administration.
"How far does this politics of gay and transgender activism go?" he said. "Clearly this is an administration that is pandering to the gay lobby."
President Obama's standing with the "gay" and transgender community has widely varied in his limited time in office. He was heavily supported by homosexual voters in 2008, but has since been criticized for not acting fast or decisively enough to expand their rights, in their view.
