Dear Lord.

I love long champaign seasons – gives everyone time to flame out.

The “hippies need baths” meme worked 30 years ago, so why not now?

Newt, the Nixon retread.

I guess the bright spot for Romney is that if Gingrich fails under the incredible weight of his past, the Republican field will have practically run out of not-Romney candidates.

run out of not-Romney candidates

Not quite yet. There’s still Jeb, and a bunch of R guvs.

You beat me to that one. I was busy in the bathroom while looking at the want ads. There are some truly fucked up registered republicans. Apparently, slightly more than 20% of ‘em.

How soon we forget. In the last election cycle the Republicans also fielded a crop of losers, just not quite as bat shit crazy as the present gang. At this time four years ago McCain had run through his cash, and was attempting to scam the FEC for more. Guiliani was the odds-on favorite, and Mitt fairly far behind. Huckabee just a joke, but with some support in Iowa. The Republicans faced the same problem last time as they do now. They didn’t have any viable candidates and so the current front-runner simply faded as attention focused on him. McCain had been written off early, so by the time he was the last man standing, there was no one left to challenge him.

Gingrich currently holds that position, but on this model, don’t count Santorum out. Nobody is paying attention to him, and for this crop of losers, that can be considered an asset in the primaries.

How about ‘will be President for food’?

He’s busy flaming out right now, advocating child labor, etc.

They’re going to keep repeating it until they get it right.

A little GOP bumper sticker humor thanks to Scott Walker.

Crap, that means this will never end.

Good one!

Saw this at hullabaloo:

Gingrich to OWS: “Go get a job right after you take a bath”
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/gingrich-occupy-wall-street-go-get-job-right-after-you-take-bath

From a religious forum the GOP candidates participated in.

Newt Gingrich:

“All of the occupy movements start with the premise that we all owe them everything. The take over a public park they didn’t pay for; To go nearby to go to bathrooms they didn’t pay for; to beg for food from places they didn’t pay for; to instruct those who go to work to pay the taxes to sustain the bathrooms and to sustain the park, so they can self-righteously proclaim that they are the paragons of virtue for which we owe everything.”

“Now that is a pretty good symptom of how much the left has collapsed as a moral system in this country and why you need to assert something as simple as saying to them, “Go get a job right after you take a bath”

Yes indeedy.

So we should all grovel at the feet of the powerful for allowing us unworthy 99% to breathe the very air that they so generously have provided for us? They will allow us to exist, you see, as long we have jobs, shut up, and don’t speak out about their abuses of power.

This is fucking sick.

And if you do stand up (or sit down) you will no longer be breathing the air, you will be breathing a throatful of chemical pepper spray.

It doesn’t matter. Right now it’s looking like the world will end first.

Gotta have a horse race don’t ya know.

On some channel surfing I did I caught Newt’s first sentence & clicked him off before I could hear the second one. The man is sick.

I was pretty confident and I still am that the GOP voters would all line up and do the practical thing and support Romney, but I always presume that the GOP constituency is more tolerant than they actually are. The simple truth is that the average GOP voter just doesn’t like Mormon leaders. Mormons are too close to the anti-Christ for comfort.

Still Romney’s to lose. And the process will really get rolling in New Hampshire, which I think he’ll win and win big.

He’s another corporatist shit (like the one we have now…) but he’s not figuratively twirling North American pit vipers around his head to show his piety, and that lack of demonstrable lunacy will be enough to get him the nomination, and against the catastrophic failure of Barack Obama, probably the presidency.

Yes but for every 86% who say they wouldn’t vote for Herman Cain there are hundreds of people who would. Besides, has anyone checked to see if those polls ever wore revealing clothing?

The average GOP voter doesn’t know jack about the anti-christ.

To them, he might as well be a comic-strip villain.

The anti-Christ is a comic-strip villain. :-)

Ron Paul has yet to surge. If he wins in Iowa, as the latest polling suggests he may, that could make him the anti-Romney candidate. If people start taking him seriously, he could attract a lot of support from Democrats and independents in Republican primaries in open-primary states.

395 days till 12 21 12 .

Is this the last year for fruitcakes ?

Paul vs o, either way we lose but it could be VERY interesting.

Really it’s now Legal for o to take Paul out with a drone hit if he SAYS the wrong thing.

The war of terror trumps elections even, says so in the secret part of the patriot act.

Does “none,” thats pulling down 18% of the vote = “none of these clowns“?

Because I think that option would poll a lot higher.

I agree. ThHis has certainly been an “E” ticket ride so far. I can’t wait to see which foot ol’ Newt shoots himself in. Of all of ‘em. Newt has GOT to be the loosest canon on the stage. On top of that, nobody, absolutely NOBODY likes this guy. He is the most despicable bastard of the bunch. His “fall from grace” will be the one I enjoy the most.

You just won’t give up on ol’ Jeb. Damn, dude, I admire your perserverance.

Absoluitely not. If the Aztecs were correct, and, frankly, this is where I kinda wish are…. the republicans will nominate “whoever”, they will WIN the elections defeating Obama, (the black man in THEIR White House), but the world will end on December 21-22, 2012 BEFORE they can take office and the last president of the USA will have been Obama.

You gotta just LOVE the ironey there.

Indeed, there is no negative description you can use that does not apply to this despicable, black-hearted bastard (TM).

“lack of demonstrable lunacy”…..I love it!
BTW if I haven’t said so before, I think you are on the mark. The “not-Romney” bench is clearing out pretty fast.

LOL.

How about “The bar’s too damn high!”

I think that is dudette. :)
