3 Against 1

AP:

Republican rivals Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and John McCain sought on Friday to become the favorite of anxious social conservatives, each suggesting he offered the best chance of thwarting abortion rights supporter Rudy Giuliani.

"This is not the time to turn our back on the progress we've made on the issues that matter most," McCain, the Arizona senator, told a receptive gathering of "values voters." "I have a record that can be trusted."

It occurs to me that the only reason to vote for any of these Repubs IS that Romney is handsome.

Yikes.

[SupremeIdiot]

Yeah he's handsome.

In a Charles Manson thousand yard stare kinda way.

[hope]

Delightful.

Like serving Fluffer-nutter a la russe.

[JoJoGunner]

Yer saying Fred Thompson isn't handsome??? Why mercy me Thalia you don't know a dreamboat when you see one!

[CommieKazi]

Very sexist of you.

[JaneC]

Hansome? That's not the view from this woman's eyes. This is:

Can one imagine any of these nincompoops in the White House? Romney will be praying to Jesus, McCain is too old, Thompson is untried, and Guiliani is a lunatic (I know I live in NYC). The only thing more depressing than those four are HIllaryEdw­ardsObama, yuk.

Al Gore is the logical choice for an American President, he's electable, seasoned, and has gained suprising charisma as he has aged. He can carry the Left and he can carry much of the Right. If he announces we could almost skip the election: I would predict a Reagan-like landslide.

[LaFeminazi]

McCain looks closer to Jesus than any of them, although Thompson's neck runs him a close second.

Ron Paul already met Jesus and called him a big government socialist.

[bushmocker]

I think you're right,it does look like an image of Jesus in the wrinkles on Thompsons neck.Prais­e the Lord!Vote for "Wrinkles".

[Nyland8]

I've never seen Jesus.

Has he done anything on YouTube yet?

Political centrism is the fashion equivalent of wearing nothing but beige.

Who ever rememebers the woman in the beige dress?

Whose ever glanced across the room and said,' Wow, I MUST meet that woman there, the one who blends in with the wallpaper!"

ASLP!

[JaneC]

How true.

[CommieKazi]

I agree. Let pols shoot it out in their real clothes. Start with Sanders VT and the "progressive caucus" admitting they are socialists or communists and go from there.

[JaneC]

"Communism is conservative. Fewer and fewer people (preferably just the Party Secretary) have any say in how the economy works. Republicans are conservative. Fewer and fewer people (preferably just people controlling the Party figurehead) have any say in how the government works. The conservatives in the US are in the same position as the communists in the 30s, and for the same reason: Their revolutions failed spectacularly but they refuse to admit what went wrong."

Love the outfit Commie.

How about 'shooting it out' with their ideas and plans and dreams for the country and not about bullsh*t like two boys holding hands and invasions of lesbian mexicans.

Hey, leave off biege right now!


Apart from that

Heard a wild rumor. The fascist element will abandon the GOP and reconstitute as a separate party. This will dramatically impact future GOP presidential debates as Rudy will be forced to debate amongst himself.

[JaneC]

Sounds good to me.

[hope]

I would also really love to see more than two parties actually be viable.

Our choices now always seem like White Bread-toasted or untoasted.

[SupremeIdiot]

I predict Rudy will lose all those debates and his shadow will get the nomination.

UPDATE: Earmarxists Lose on Summer of Love Museum
by Jed Babbin
Posted 10/19/2007 ET
Updated 10/19/2007 ET

Yesterday, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Ok) engineered a successful floor fight against the Clinton-Schumer $1 million earmark to support the “Hippiefest” museum on the site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival. Conservatives should cheer this small victory and encourage Coburn and the other earmark-fighters to keep at it.

Coburn said, “I’m pleased my colleagues took a bold stand…in defense of common sense and rejected the self-interested parochial politics that have disillusioned millions of Americans. Maybe this is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius for taxpayers.­”

A new Age of Aquarius? Well, given the proclivities of both parties, it’s probably too early to celebrate. But it’s not too early to thank Sen. Coburn and wish him success on many more earmark hunts.

[bushmocker]

One million dollars for a cause that is still burning strong in America vs.how much $$$$$$$$$$$ for a George W.Bush(go to hell you poverty stricken Americans who want healthcare) library.So­unds like a staunch Republican stand.

[SupremeIdiot]

Coburn is going to now pose as a staunch fiscal conservative all the while voting for more money for Iraq and Corporate welfare.

[JaneC]

Too bad he was unavailable to fight the good fight against obscene earmarks for six+ long sorry years.

[CommieKazi]

Thats funny. Flower power gets ground to dust, and the taxpayers money is saved. Now lets focus on keeping them away from healthcare and national defense!

[JaneC]

Too late.

GOP=DOA 08 :)

[Thalia]

Taxpayer money is saved???

What color is the sky in your world?

[LaFeminazi]

Well all the Dem's need to do with any of this lot of good for nothings.

Is to use the repug playbook from 04.

Flip-flop.

[nancytheragingliberal]

Yes, use "flip-flop" but who ever said the Dem's can ever do anything the right way? Here these wacky repub "pres." candidates weave and bob, trying to appeal to the crazy 25% of this country. Who are they to stick their noses in the life of a woman? How dare they try to tell a woman what to do with her situation? That is up to her and the decision will be not easy for her. The law has been in effect since 1973 and there it should stay. I hate these so-called "values" 25% of the country nuts. Leave the rest of us 75% of the country alone. We are more than capable of deciding what is best for our life and morals. You do not dictate to me what is right and wrong, based on your loopy ideas. That is my choice, not yours. This "religion" crap they spew. This roll in the ailes, scream, beat their chests. This, in my opinion, is not religion. Religion is quiet, personal and reflective. Well, those are my thoughts.

[bushmocker]

I agree with everything but the 25% part,in my life I don't think there are more than two to three percent of people that are truly religious,most of the other so called faithful use the church as a crutch to show what good "Christians" they are,hoping to use the chuch as a way to expand their business.O­r thinking going to church will "take away their sins"(lath­er,rinse,r­epeat)They are no more than a "Judas" waiting for a better offer.

[Thalia]

Well Fem, just as predicted, Pelosi rebuked Stark for his comments about the Iraq war.

Sigh.

Remember how excited everyone was that Dems won in November?

[LaFeminazi]

Hopeful, however any hope was lost within 5 minutes.

If the Dem's get any more febrile they will need life support.

[bushmocker]

We have seen what the past six and a half years brings to the table with Republicans in control.Ev­en though they're not the majority in Congress now,they can stifle any progress. Don't think the American people can't see through this constant Republican refrain of"look at what the Democrats are doing now that they're in charge".Th­ese fourth tier wannabees are are out trying to scam any votes they can from a minority of religious nuts that are needed to win an election for Republican­s.This is what happens when the votes of religious zealots,southern bigots,corporate interests,and all the other hate groups are required to win an election.L­et them drown in their own fetid juices.

[CommieKazi]

No one's going to take away abortion rights. Besides, its a states rights issue anyway.

But the big story is Nancy Pelosi bitchslapping Pete Stark. He went so far as to force her to smack him, wow! Even by SF Bay Area standards, thats big!!

[LaFeminazi]

Stark didn't go far enough.

[hope]

Exactly!

I'm bored to tears with 'centrism' anyway.


I say invite Bush to the House, and let HIM be bitchslapped by brain-damaged 12 year olds.



....popcor­n, peanuts, cotton candy!

[JaneC]

She said she thought what he said was "Inappropriate" that's bitch slapping?

I think Chimpy McFucknuts is the one that got bitch slapped, and rightly so, it's about time.

Nancy was wrong.

[LaFeminazi]

Nancy should apologise.

;)

[CommieKazi]

To Stark, thats a bitchslap.

[JaneC]

BTW Bushbot, it's pretty hard for him to claim he isn't "amused" with evidence like this out there. Twisted pig that he is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgYGOpYgFnM

[SupremeIdiot]

Jane, that video brings tears to my eyes.

But it also renews my anger at the current administration.

[Thalia]

Well, as usual, you see it in violent terms rather than for what it was, which is why she shouldn't have done it.

Clearly Pelosi (I don't agree with what she did) was trying to promote civility, which you clearly think is a terrible thing.

Limbaugh raises money by bashing US soldiers.

Pelosi rebukes someone for having the guts to say what needs to be said, ugly as it is, in an attempt to restore civility to this country, civility destroyed by the right wing, and your response is a thrill at someone being "bitch slapped."

Like I said, the right has destroyed civility in this country in favor of thrills and chills over "bitch slaps."

Really sad what you losers have done to this country.

[SupremeIdiot]

Thal, you have to realize the mentality you're dealing with. A WWF fan will ALWAYS put things into terms he/she can understand. That's why everything has to be a "slap" or a "punch" or whatever stupid term is being used by the "Gomer" crowd now-a-days.

[CommieKazi]

Rush didn't bash US soldiers. Thats what liberals do. Then they make up false stories to smear Rush. And you buy right into the lie.

[JaneC]

Just the fact that a political website would devote so much time to this non issue is a huge indication of how far the evilgelicals and Chimpy have pushed this country off track.

WTF does any of this boring assed Jeebus crap have to do with running a nation? Never in my lifetime have I seen this topic dominate the discussion at election time as it does now.

There isn't ONE area of this country or it's government that hasn't been obscenely twisted out of shape. Now, thanks once again to the WH monkey, the religious reich thinks they're in control and the rest of us are scared shitless they will be. It will take decades to get back on course, if it's even possible.

Get these lunatics out of our government.

[LaFeminazi]

When I look at the centrist Dem's, that just shows how far right US politics has gone.

[JaneC]

Scary.

[hope]

non-issue?
It's all about the money, honey and that's NEVER a non-issue.
People like Dobson, Perkins and Land know they are never gonna be able to deliver on the 'big stuff' like Roe, so they have to do something to make themselves look necessary.

Ya can't fleece a flock that's in some else's pasture.

[Thalia]

Why do they still even have so much pull? They've been totally discredited, what with their corrupt and perverted leaders.

How can they still be convincing pols they're the group to appeal to?

[SupremeIdiot]

Because they still own the bully-pulpit of the WH and they still have the smear machine in talk-radio and Fox network.

The neocons have been building their "Empire of Dirt" for a long time. It'll be a while to dismantle it too.

Benjamin R. Barber:
American Parochialism: Armenia, the Dalai Lama and the Jewish Question

Very often when people speak of being fair to all the people - Those who think they can dictate what thing's are and will be - Push the most for what they deam as good ...

Take the schip program - They dump it on one groupe of people - and say thats a good thing - But everybody else does not want to help pay for it ...

Take the Iraq WAR - It's a good thing when just the WARRIOR'S and FAMILY are paying for it - But ask other's to get rid of the tax cut's - Too help - buy better armour - You see no help from them ...

It has become easy for them to rush out and preach to other's what they should be doing - Just as long as other's are paying for there fancy ROBE'S !!!

[SeconLine]

Here's something I don't get:

Huckabee is the only one that passes the Whacko litmus test. The rest don't fly. They don't even get off the ground.

Why is he polling at 2 percent?

[BreadandRoses]

Largely because he's unqualified for the job.

Even the Republicans can see it.

[JaneC]

Because the Fundies want it all and they want it free of charge. He died financially. Seems to me if they were so devoted to their cause they'd have sent him a dollar or two. They're frauds.

[JoJoGunner]

John McSellout says he has a record that can be trusted. Well he always votes anti-choice yeah - but he attacked the Ayathollahs! He said Jerry bin Falwell was a force for intollerance! Absolutely true, but a fatal error for Johnny McSellout. These people never forgive or forget.

[project]

Well it takes 3 republicans to oppose anything that another repub does but it takes a lot more if they go up against a dem.
