Do you think Rand Paul's campaigns will take donations in monopoly money too? I'm pretty sure I could rustle up the maximum campaign donation in rainbow fun money.

Hilarious that Politico treats it as a "strategy" rather than the entire and only reason Graham is running, which has been obvious from the start.

I'm so excited to watch Ted Cruz in the debates, and those funding numbers make me hopeful that he sticks around to the bitter end. After Romney bowed out I had my doubts that this primary season could match the last couple cycles, but the great pomaded hope may still deliver us to the promised land.

I'm surprised he didn't knock over his chair running away from the terrible, horrible, gay DREAMers. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that this is how he reacts to disruptions in his worldview, given that he's the son of the man who literally refused to use a business' bathroom facilities because the owner was gay.

Cruz will be utterly uninteresting in the debates, like he always is. He's already got the tea party cred, so he doesn't need to do anything to curry their favor, and can just keep up a steady stream of dogwhistles to keep the base appeased in the debates. The man is good at arguing.

Rand Paul is now stealing policy ideas... from Aaron Sorkin.quote:“The president says, well, I just want to give you free college,” Paul said at the University of Iowa. “It sounds good at first, but think about it, how could it be free? Well, somebody still has to pay. Someone has to pay the professors, the electricity, the janitorial services. Somebody pays.” Next up: beating ISIS by declaring Syria a national park under the Antiquities Act.

Oh gently caress you Cruzquote:The Jihad that is being waged right now in Indiana and Arkansas, going after people of faith who respect the Biblical teaching that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. We need to bring people together to the religious liberty values that built this country. It wasn't long ago when this was an area of bipartisan agreement. When it came to the First Amendment we all stood together and said, 'Of course! Every one of us has God-given right to seek out and worship God.' This election needs to be about bringing together that consensus again, and that’s got to come from the people." - Ted Cruz Mr Ice Cream Glove fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Apr 10, 2015 |

Of all the possible candidates, Jindal seems to be the most unhinged and he is becoming increasingly pathetic in his pandering for the radical religious base of the GOP.quote:"We saw a very unusual alliance this week," Jindal told a crowd at an Iowa homeschooling event, according to video obtained by Right Wing Watch. "We saw an alliance between Hollywood elites and corporate America assaulting the rights of Christians." Hollywood has always been an easy target but holy poo poo, when you go after corporate America as an agent of the left that's some crazy.

I don't remember the Bible having much to say about defining marriage as between 1 man and 1 woman. Awful lot of polygamy in the good book for you to get that as a take away.

I think the Hobby Lobby case where it was decided whether or not Plan B was actually "inducing an abortion" or not was irrelevant compared to whether that's what they believed was happening has established that people don't need to prove the validity or coherency of their beliefs to bludgeon others with them.

Dolash posted:I guess as a question about Presidential politics in general, what sort of post-presidential career might we see out of Obama? He's still pretty young in politician terms, even if his eight years have aged him for twice that number. Is there precedent for ex-presidents returning to the Senate or taking on some other career? He should appoint himself on the last day of his presidency.
