If stopping the gridlock was enough to motivate such people wouldn't the past few years already have done that? Granted the R side tends to be much, much louder.

They were always going to complain about Obama's tyranical veto pen, but they can't actually get anywhere with that if Obama's vetoes are of the Lock Gays In The Closet Bill, Burn The EPA At The Stake Statute, and the Tax Cuts For The Rich, Snide Laughs For The Poor Omnibus. They could if they piggy back Lock Gays in the Closet with No Social Security for Osama bin Laden.

Radbot posted:I don't know, personally I think the "feckless, trophy-for-all youth who love selfies and hate America" explanation holds just as much water as "I can't vote because my boss won't give me time off" Or moving to a new place for school/work and missing the voter registration cut off date. I too wish there was only one explanation for each side, then this whole thing would be much easier to figure out.

Joementum posted:Mitt Romney would like to be President so he can continue LBJ's War on Poverty. The "I don't care about the lower 47%" guy? Did anyone tell him that the "War on Poverty" wasn't an actual shooting war? Would Putin have known his place by lining Ukraine's borders with infantry with fixed bayonets? Voters have gone to the fro-yo dispenser twice now and each time they've passed on vanilla. That isn't liable to change if you just put a bowl of sprinkles next to it.

SquadronROE posted:We need to address the root causes of why the turtle is on its back in the middle of a desert in the first place. Generally evolution has made it so that turtles don't often get stranded on their back, much less so in a hostile environment. This reveals that either that turtle is a terrible member of its society and therefore should be allowed to die so as to not lead the species down a bad evolutionary path, or even more insidiously there is an outside force that has acted on the turtle to cause this situation. As the latter situation is one we want to, as a society, be prepared for, I recommend that we allow ourselves the freedom to express our 2nd amendment rights openly as a form of deterrent. The turtle busted a deal, faced the wheel and was sentenced to gulag. It probably doesn't deserve our help anyway.

So far the reaction from the party and pundits has been overwhelmingly negative, there's no way he's in the first primary debate right? If I remember right most didn't want him running in 2012 at all. It seemed every month or so Fox would have a preferred candidate that wouldn't hold up well to scrutiny at all then they'd move to the next candidate. Eventually just Mitt remained because he was the most vanilla of them all.
