Well no one but democrats remember who huntsman is so its not like his failure of a campaign is going to remembered by primary voters and thus not weigh him down as much.

No Rush pushed for republicans in open primaries to vote for Hilary.

The water grab was dumb and awkward but not a death blow to Rubio like jindel's speech was but if that Yale thing is true then they can eat a dick while pulling their heads out of their asses. Who gives a flying gently caress except pompous douchenozzles if you drink from a bottle of water like 99% of the country.

Though I guess pompous douchenozzles does really describe Ivy League schools.

Ted Cruz is going to make these primaries amazing. Hell, he already is. I hope we get Newt and Cain back too, let's go all in.

Newts getting a TV show on cnn so he's probably not hoping in ever again. However this does open him up to be a debate moderator at one of the bazillion debates the republicans will have :getin:

But what about the growing criminal John Doe investigation that's spread to five counties now. Walker's in the middle of that, and a US attorney has been appointed to oversee the investigation.

Ted Cruz spent his morning hunting pheasant and speechifying in Iowa today. It's obvious he's running for president.

To be fair, it's been obvious he's running for president ever since he started running for his senate seat.

Joe Biden called the wrong Marty Walsh to congratulate him on becoming the Mayor of Boston. So then he called another number and left a voicemail. Well, guess what kiddos....

Did Biden ever actually reach the mayor-elect or is he still dialing every number in Boston trying to congratulate him?

Honestly half of Biden's "gaffes" since becoming VP seem to be due to Obama's staff trying to keep him out of the loop.

Translation: Biden actually has morals and knows not to trust the structure that got us into Iraq and hosed up Afghanistan.

But please Robert, continue on about how expanding the war in Afghanistan is totally politically feasible and how the idiots that have mismanaged it from the get go should be listened to still

Quoting myself from the GOP thread.

I'm not sure if it's funnier if that's the first time Gates ever saw the President and the Cabinet talk politics or if a guy who was Deputy DCI for Reagan, DCI and NSC for H.W. Bush, and SecDef for W. Bush actually thinks we'll believe that he's outraged and shocked at witnessing such behavior.

Wasn't he probably involved in Iran contra as well for maximum hilarity?

Either that or Biden really does come off as a jackass who is consistently wrong on foreign policy issues. Gates isn't exactly the first person to bring either of those up.

Have any of them ever said why he's wrong? Because without knowing details being considered wrong on foreign policy by neo-cons seems like a plus to me.

Whew good thing this guy isn't a neocon or something. These are all just the truth and the hawks can't handle his realness.

Haha welp didn't know that about Biden.

However, my point was more in that article/book quotes and some other previous article from a few months ago the writers just went 'Biden is wrong on everything' without providing any evidence at all. Hence due to the lack of supporting evidence all these articles were 'neo-imperialist/neo-con thinks Biden is dumb' which by itself isn't what I would consider a mark against him, your post about him on the otherhand....

John Calhoun was VP for both John Q. Adams' term and for Andrew Jackson's first term. He and Jackson did not get along so Jackson dumped him for Martin van Buren when he ran for reelection.

He then expressed the belief that not hanging Calhoun was one of the two greatest failures of his presidency. The other was not shooting Henry Clay.

I'm sure Barack Obama probably hasn't done any driving since declaring his candidacy in 2007, and he probably won't for a few years after 2016 either. Such is the way of Secret Service protection.

I'm equally sure, however, that this fact won't stop the right from attempting to use it.

Hypothetically if tomorrow Obama really wanted to drive himself to go get a burger what would the secret service even do to stop him?

I'm picturing a wall of agents blocking the gate exits while begging the president to just let them drive him.

Given that Hillary came out full-throated against Snowden today, 2016 will be pretty mind blowing if Hillary is the D nominee with an anti-Snowden, anti-civil liberties stance and Rand is the R nominee with a pro-Snowden, pro-civil liberties stance. This forum will contort into pretzels in order to defend Hillary's stance on Snowden. "Well I agree with what Snowden did, but Hillary is 100% right, he should AT LEAST STAND TRIAL. What's wrong with that?"

Because it's literally impossible for someone to support Hilary and disagree with her on something.

Shot, declined re-election, resigned, sucked, and sucked. It was indeed a hard time to be President. Johnson declined reelection, Nixon could have had two terms if he didn't do Watergate, Ford and Carter could have had more terms if they weren't so unpopular.

Nixon did have two terms, unless you mean two full terms.

Clinton in '88 went off his prepared remarks and ended up speaking for over twice the time that he was supposed to, pushing Dukakis' speech out of prime time.

And, yes, he also used the opportunity to go on a big rant about how bad the American economy was instead of praising the nominee.

Ahahahahaha how loving pissed off was Dukakis after the '92 election I wonder.
