Captain_Maclaine posted:Not that it matters a bit, but isn't Dean likely on the Clinton blacklist for his opposition to the DLC in 2004 and his backing of Obama early on in the 2008 primary? If the Clintons are going to keep holding a grudge against anyone who backed Obama in '08, that's going to be a mighty long shitlist. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot. Not that that is outside the realm of possibility, considering Mark Penn and all...

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Ben Carson I know it shouldn't surprise me anymore at this point, after all the stupid poo poo he's said, but it still baffles me that a renowned neurosurgeon cannot get his head around the concept of infinity. Yes Ben, infinite amount of time means that eventually, one of those hurricanes blasting through junkyards will assemble an aerodynamic wing. It reminds me of when Ricky Gervais tried explaining infinity to Karl Pilkington with the example of an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters eventually writing the complete works of Shakespeare. He was stumped, but then again, he isn't a neurosurgeon...

Fried Chicken posted:Google "Iraq intelligence work group stove piping" and you should have a good start. They created a special group paralleling the work of the intelligence community that, rather then being reviewed and checked by the experts, went straight to the White House. The group was filled with think tank apparatchiks instead of intelligence people, and somehow what they found in the course of their amateur sleuthing exactly matched what they had written policy papers on before. Then when r intelligence community did check their work and found it was bullshit, it didn't matter because theirs was in desks months ago and was already being used in media appearances Also, if you're in the mood for an aneurysm, watch the interview Jon Stewart did with her one or two weeks ago. The woman is a goddamn joke, but an infuriating one.

King of Solomon posted:Most of this is pretty standard Republican rhetoric, but the line about term limits caught me off guard. Did I miss that being a common Republican position somehow? Actually, the 'FairTax' (Orwell would be so proud of/disgusted by these people) is the one that struck me. Really? Get rid of ALL taxes and only have a consumption tax? I thought this was an idea that was only embraced by the fringe of the Republican party. I figured it wasn't possible, but I guess I'm still not cynical enough when it comes to American politics...

He knows that if he legitimately ran and ended up in something like 6th place or worse, whatever ego and (littlle) credibility he has would be completely shot and open himself up to a ton of criticism as a joke candidate. Right now he can sit in his gold tower and basically say "I would be the president ever and if I ran I'd win YOOOGE...but I just don't want to." Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence.
