Yes, mostly because I said I had the Rand quotes ready. It was tough to get them all through with the forums melting down. If Obama had lost we'd probably have had to take shifts.

At this rate there should be a toxx round over who is going to be the GOP nominee. Absolutely no idea.

what's huntsman doing these days? i thought he was the only one that didn't have a major scandal attached to his name last time, right? just, y'know, the fact that literally nobody cared about him.

He didn't have a scandal because no one cared about him. Surely they'd drag some skeleton-turned-dust out his closet if he ever got popular.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

there's this big huge stage, right? it's republicon or whatever it's called and we've already had the religious guy, ron paul's clone and the woman who's crazy enough to overcome the fact that she's a republican woman. people are pumped. american flags are waving. the room goes quiet. suddenly, a single note. the stage is covered in smoke. lasers shoot out over the crowd. a platform raises from under the stage. it's jon huntsman and a keyboard. 'are you ready... to rock?!' he's wearing shades. he goes into a huge keyboard solo and everyone is clapping. i'm watching the live stream. thank god the primaries are back.

Playing up YELLOW PERIL is actually effective for catching many in the republican camp, because China being a rising empire and America being a declining empire really hits at the fear of personal inadequacy for many americans who don't understand why, despite working hard and being good christians who've done everything they've been instructed to do for success, they continue to be poor losers in the capitalist game. It's easier to tell yourself some evil dudes are sneaking all of your gains away instead of admitting you've been duped your entire life

sure, but actually calling him the manchurian candidate is just a step away from saying he's a reptilian. a tiny step, considering it's a ron paul ad

On one hand I'd love Ted Cruz to be the nominee because he'll probably turn it from a Dem win to a Dem blowout, but on the other hand the off-chance that he actually wins it all terrifies me.

i generally enjoy The Man With The Plan. it always leads to an incredible surge in enthusiasm from the republican base - 'he's gonna fix it! he's got a plan!' and then two weeks later, someone pipes up and say 'uh, guys, about that plan... it only works if we cut our defence budget... and medicaid... and sell alaska...' and the comedown from that surge is just brilliant. last election it was even better, because somehow paul ryan got the vp nod in those two weeks and now then they were stuck with him.

e: not that i didn't enjoy cain's 999 plan - in fact, i loved it

Allen West gets voted in as Speaker of the House by the overwhelming Tea Party majority, President RINO and Vice President Lizard Man get killed in a terrible open carry accident, and the way is paved for the reassertion of the American Dream. Hooah!

I wonder if, when the mods get a serial offender like that, they're ever tempted to write stuff in the "Punishment Reason" field that will make neat little patterns or images. "hey look, your serial shitposting helped me draw a cute little bunny!" or something along those lines.

He joined the Brookings Institution then got put in charge of the Atlantic Council, so it doesn't seem likely that he's planning on a second midlife crisis presidential candidacy. At least not as a Republican. There's always a revived Americans Elect.:v:

I'm sure if I were still living back home I would've been way ahead of the curve in picking this up, but I'm OOTL these days. This is exactly the kind of poo poo the people I grew up with were already doing for what they think is legitimate reasons (farm trucks in mud/flood country with stacks), so if you give them a political rationale to take it to 11 it's only going to get funnier.

These people should be dragged from their stupid loving vehicles and shot, but I feel that way about people who ride Harleys too, so I may not be the most fair arbiter. Hey I'm enjoying this lovely say, it sure is nice outs- oh God what is this wall of smog and noise? Oh, it's conservative America in sound and gas format.
