Dick Dorkins also saw fit to cover himself in Elevatorgate poo poo and attack Rebecca Watson, a fellow prominent white (female--natch) atheist. He only cares about his own self-aggrandizing, and hordes of the worst kind of new atheist loser give him mad twitter props for it because he's covered himself in a veneer of Smarter Than You Science Man. People like him and Bill Maher are even more loathsome than the Donald Trumps and Mike Huckabees of the world, because neoliberal scum apologize for them and we end up keeping the racist/misogynist status quo right at the top of our major institutions and pretending like it's not there.

So with Walker polling<1% I'm ready to count him out as the president. But he still has considerable backing, money, and infrastructure. So I think a Vice President spot is possible. The question is with whom. Given the current anti establishment mood, I don't think linking up with Bush or Rubio would be wise, it would look like it was the elites really piling on and piss off the base. At the same time, linking up with Trump/Carson/Fiorina would destroy the anti establishment vibe all of them have, so I don't see that happening. Huckabee I don't see sticking around much longer, and same with Christie. That means throwing in with Ted Cruz to make a play as the "bombastic oligarch supporting, liberal hating" ticket. And I do think it has to be Cruz, he is the only viable one out of the two remaining. Paul/Walker is guaranteed to crash and burn.

When someone polls as low as Walker does, no amount of money is going to help and no one would be foolish enough to ask him to be VP. "Hey, not even your mother wants you to be president, so how about being my VP so that if I die, you become president instead?" Or was your whole post just to make a Paul Walker/car crash joke? E: Because, and let me tell you, its too soon and always will be.

What does Walker bring to a VP ticket besides liabilities? Even if you're Ted Cruz, you fill his niche better with others in the clown car. He's done, a loser who can't cut it on the national stage, and it's glorious.

Gets the pubbies' token minority candidate out there but in a position of no actual power so Fox can say it's a shining example of GOP outreach to women/black people without actually having to deal with the political consequences thereof.

So this is interesting:quote:WALLACE: First of all, do you acknowledge what every fact checker has found, that as horrific as that scene is, it was only described on the video by someone who claimed to have seen it? So Fiorina says "YES HUH!" that there was in fact footage of which she described, yet for some reason, hasn't bothered to release it or guide people to where on the 12 hours of released footage that clip is at.

In most of the stories I've read they say similar footage is out there but it's not exactly how she describes it and it's not in the Planed Parenthood videos released this year. The footage she's referring to is entitled One Weird Trick to Harvest a Living Fetus' Brain! Pro-lifers HATE it!

Walker will likely be VP as the nominee needs to sign a blood-oath with the Koch Sugar Daddies - that's how Paul Ryan became Romney's running mate (you'll note in the 'Mitt' movie you never see anything about his selection process because it was likely a closed-door deal with Charles and David)

Fried Chicken posted:Then why complain that she is not? Because it's not transparent her presence is making an impact. You seem to have found the font of information where it is though, so would you mind sharing it? "The news" is not descriptive enough, I watch the news too but never see any direct effects from her presence. Keep in mind this isn't a personal attack against her, I'm trying to dig deeper into the idea that certain leftist candidates should not be president because they're more useful at their level than as president, when it's pretty clear the current and past presidents can implement significant changes.

At least Bush (and Rubio) has the whole Compassionate Conservatism thing, and the attempts at reaching out to minority voters. At least he is aware of the fact that he would have to get people to vote for him who aren't blood-red Boomer suburbanite fucks, even while being constrained in how much he can reach out to other voter bases. I literally think Walker didn't even consider it, and made no attempt to ever do so. Then The Donald comes along and jacks his voter base, and
