Discussion: The REPUBLICAN Party III

[SuBe]

She's not speaking out of turn. Every Dunderhead in Congress will be looking for the closest camera to talk into tonight to have their 5 minutes of air time. Bachmann just scheduled hers.

The return of Mr.Macaca, eh? I don't expect much better from a state that produced Ken Cuccinelli.

I'm kinda thinking that Allen is going to win this one. Webb wouldn't have won to begin with in a good Democratic year if Allen didn't act like an idiot and say Macaca.

Welcome to Fantasy Island, kids! This is akin to me saying Dennis Kucinich or Ralph Nader has a shot at getting elected President.

Somebody with Paul's Scroogian viewpoint on social programs has a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected. This political board may be a Libertarian circle jerk but don't get deluded into thinking your views are in any way mainstream. Let's not forget how badly Bush's campaign to privatize Social Security went- and the biggest opposition came from within his own ranks, honestly. (not talking about the politicians, more so everyday people who usually vote Republican in red states)

Have you ever seen Ron Paul debate? Even if you don't agree with his policies, it's hard to deny that Ron Paul is an intelligent man who knows what he's talking about and he speaks with conviction. Or a Marco Rubio interview, he comes off as a right winged Obama, very passionate, very charismatic. They don't go off saying stupid crap like being abducted by aliens like Dennis Kucinich or not being a witch like Christine O'Donnell.

The Tea Party has learned some lessons in November on who to nominate (the Marco Rubios, Gary Johnson, and Ron Pauls) and who not to nominate (the Christine O'Donnells, Sharron Angles, and Ken Bucks). And if they can do what they did in 2010 again in 2012, a libertarian candidate has a real shot this time around.

That doesn't have anything to do with what I'm saying(Paul's alleged intelligence). His extremist views will keep him from being electable.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I really wouldn't call them extremist. Especially during a time where Paul's core beliefs on debt and civil liberties are very popular positions.

Dude Hippie, you probably have better luck at Democratic Underground t:

I have no words.

 

[StorminNorman]

I wonder who asked Bachmann to represent a movement that has no organization. Bachmann no more speaks for the Tea Party than Sarah Palin does.

Ron Paul should do his own response.

Again, you're dodging the issue. You know I'm talking about his extremist views on the social safety net(or lack thereof, if he had his way).

Whoa...

 

[Marx]

I haven't seen any channel covering Bachmann's response. (Not that I am complaining.)

They never were going to....it wasn't even planned that way....it is being streamed on the website of the Tea Party group that asked her to give it....

She said earlier today that it would only be on the internet....if the TV stations showed it...they showed it, but it wasn't planned.

 

[Marx]

Ahhh. Well I'm not breaking away from The Big Bang Theory to watch her.

 

[Kelly]

I'm not breaking away from the most boring activity in all the world, whatever it may be to watch her....

So DeMint might be in for 2012.

Democrat, Republican... same garbage can full of human sewage with chocolate cyanide sprinkles. If both parties were blokes at a bar, they would be the herbs who excessively placates and "act nice" to girls, only to get rejected all night long. Then they get pissed drunk, blackout and wake up the next day facing each other in bed at a cheap runned down motel.

Captain Optimistic to the rescue

*sighs* adios to the awesome discussion on the last thread....


god this sucks...

 

[Paradoxium]

Weird how the title got pruned, while Mr. Thread Manager is trying to redact my Part II thread

 

[Marx]

I changed the name to 'III'. Everytime I see a 'part 1' it just ticks me off.

 

[SuBe]

Even Back to the Future isnt referenced as "Part 1". People just Know!



Stupid TM....

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Me too. Use Roman numerals dammit!

 

[chaseter]

The Romans have been extinct for years. We need to use Old English numbers.
