I feel like "I'm working on a new marketing strategy and I'll be pushing my new e-book" is the generic refuge of many failed plans.

So I guess it sums up Jeb!'s campaign perfectly.

Many Freepers blame Jeb for Schiavo's death. Dude just can't win. Seriously, he can't win, Rubio has this thing in the bag as long as he doesn't gently caress it up.

Today on his show Rush gave Rubio a hand-job, and Hannity loves Rubio. The only holdout is Levin/Mastershake who thinks Rubio is a slimy little putz.

I'm so glad I clicked on your link, because ABCnews gave me a pro-Bush ad funded by his PAC money. They thought it was good/important/okay to mention that he's on the Paleo diet.

Umm....unlike maybe other people, Jebeddiah Bush is on the Paleo Diet - an important qualification for President of the United States of America.

Governors are some of the only people who seem qualified to be President at all, because they have to bludgeon their state congress with vetos, death threats, bribes, whatever in order to pass laws that help people, instead of stealing from the people they represent. Ben Carson has said he wants to inspire more Smart People to get into politics though, something ignored by the press for a reason. Someone like Bill Gates could become President if he wasn't on some global crusade to save as many lives as he possibly can. That's the kind of dude we should have in office, but politicians are incompetent like Obama or satanic monsters like Hillary and Bernie Sanders are most of the time.

Levin is trashing Romney and the Bush clan. He's pissed off that Romney wouldn't go on his show, but went on Axelrod's podcast. He's also still pissed off about George W's comments about Ted Cruz.

Levin is going to be three hours of pure hate on the GOP this evening.

That really depends on the State. New York, for example, has an obscenely powerful Executive, which gets to set the initial budget and limit amendments, and even go over the head of the Legislature in case they stall. Cuomo's two terms here will have taught him all the wrong lessons about being Chief Executive.

If you watch any of his talks open-mindedly, he's literally the most progressive and open minded Republican you've ever heard speak, probably because he is gay or something lol. He just hates ISIS because he thinks they are committing mass atrocities and war crimes, and knows that Iran is doing the same thing everywhere all the time with proxy groups too.

Seriously, you people are "Afraid of Republicans" because you don't know what the gently caress is going on anymore because the Liberal Media is blasting hate speech everywhere nonstop about them, even Joe Biden tried to hint at this without revealing enough that he gets assassinated for it. Now I understand why Lincoln is called a tyrant, because he realized the "free press" was Democratic Party's Establishment in NYC using propaganda about Irish and Italian Privilage to make all the immigrants and black people hate each other and riot and poo poo intentionally to undermine the war effort against them in the South.

These wars Lindsey talks about already started, he wants to end them not start more. America left the region, and Iran and ISIS and poo poo are starting wars that won't ever end, this is a huge problem unless you don't care about a World War 3

You're right. While he was speaking I was thinking "hey, maybe this guy isn't so bad" until he started talking about boots on the ground in Syria, bringing large troops back to Iraq and Afghanistan, and threatening Iran with an invasion. He may or may not have suggested troops in Ukraine, too. I can't remember. It's like he wants to invade everyone and form the United States of Arabia.

We aren't even giving basic armaments to these people, that's why the secular resistance groups all died in Syria and Putin is now in charge there, which is a travesty honestly. Wesley Clark and policy experts gives speeches about how Ukraine doesn't even have AT rifles or anything. We don't need troops in Ukraine, they need weapons to fight for themselves, but Obama trusts Putin like FDR trusted Stalin as having Good Intentions

These guys all get that the Iraq War was a huge mistake carried out by a cabal of neocon wackjobs who loved Democracy in the wrong way like Rumsfeld and Cheney, no one supports that nowadays. America isn't a terrorist nation though, we fight terrorists, its complicated but not evil. ISIS is a huge failure and a new nation ruled by bloodthirsty Sunni Supremacist nutjobs that Putin is probably trying to ally with, not destroy. Iraq's army is simply incapable of fighting for itself because it's too corrupt and poorly led but full of manpower, you need American troops there to shoot them as they retreat like Commissars in order to get them to fight for Iraq.

Graham talking about ISIS is because he is actually on all these committees and reading the reports coming out of them. There was news on intelligence analysts complaining recently that the Obama administration is doctoring reports to make Syria sound better then it is when its stuck in Forever War with genocidal maniacs on all sides. That was bad enough, but now Putin is in charge of it and he's the most genocidal maniac of the 21st century I can tell lol
