Barack Hussein Romney wins Iowa.
No big surprise.
Look, Newt is an ass. Everyone thinks he’s extra smart because he uses polysyllabic words, truth be told he’s clearly not playing with a full deck. Still, he’d be a better president that Romney or wingnuthead. Of course, a rancid cat hairball would be a better president than Romney or Wingnuthead. Shit, even batshit crazy Ron paul would be a better president than Romney or Wingnuthead, if only for the fact that being such an outsider would mean he’d have zero support in both houses and never be able to get a damned thing done. Anytime a President can’t get a damned thing done, that’s a good thing.
The Ass Rogering has begun in earnest now. Granted, you can’t fix this by not voting, but voting isn’t gonna do very damned much now, either. Voting not to retain judges and to select your local officials is important, because they can have an effect on your daily life. THAT’s why you need to get to the polling places.
The indiana primary is- IIRC, in May. By then all the lunatics except Paul will have dropped out, and I will probably choke back the bile and vote newt. A Paul presidency would be funny, I’d have blog material for EVER. I’d love to see it for that reason. OTOH, the harm that he’d do would be pretty well insurmountable. The place would collapse even faster than Wingnuthead is making it happen, and it would set back the cause of conservatism 200 years.
God, now the paulites will come out of the woodwork. Guys and gals, just take another hit and piss off.
I was gonna vote for paul
but then I got high
I was gonna make sure he got it all
but then I got high.
Now I’m back in my moms basement
And I know why
yeah yeah
because I got high
because I got high
because I got high.

Do you get many Paul-bots here? Such taunts cannot go unanswered.
They show up once in a while. I usually smack them down. it’s usually not much of a challenge. hey, RP seems like a nice guy. I think he’s sincere. He just has multiple problems; he’s isolationist, and Americans by nature are not isolationist. He wants to gut the military, and a hellofa lot of Americans LOVE the military- and justly so. Etc. Etc. Etc. as Yul used to say. Hey, it would be amusing to see him win, there would never be a bigger tempest in a bigger teapot anywhere.
You can tell who they are in the Hallways by the brown shirts.
roflmao.
That is part of his problem. Delivery.
Instead of being Isolationist, he could be “America First”. Just express his foreign policy as one that must always and in everything benefit America. Who would argue with that? Then in implementation, he could decide what is best for us is to stay home.
He should also make the claim that the military is too big for what America needs. You can be for a strong defense AND be for a smaller military. We could cut our military in half and still have enough to kick serious ass on anyone else. He could make the case for a better equipped and trained force that is also smaller. More capable, less cost, Muy patriotic flag waving.
But he can’t do any of those things. his supporters blame the audience for not being smart enough to understand what he really means.
I heard Ron Paul in an interview on Sunday. Where he told the interviewer that people who are treated for STDs should not be allowed to have their STDs treated under their medical insurance “because it was their choice to have sex” and “why should everyone have to pay for that?” If you follow that line of thought out pregnancy shouldn’t be covered either. Or vasectomies. Auto accidents should be excluded as well, I guess. “It was your choice to drive the car.” If you were hit by a bus? “It was your choice to go into that crosswalk.”
I’ve had Libertarian leanings in the past but this made my head asplode.

Careful, Jenny, they’ll take away your Wookie suit.
But I can still keep my Starfleet uniform, right?
(I am not kidding; watch the next Libertarian convention on C-Span. You’ll see people in full Trekster suit AND Klingon delegates.)
Vote — and live long and prosper!

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I hope Gingrich or Perry win. Neither is perfect, but they strike me as the best of the bunch that’s left. I know Gingrich is divorced and Perry is an ex-Democrat. However I seem to remember a divorced ex-Democrat President who did well. Neither is up to his standards, but they come close than the rest of the pack.
I know I’m a pie is the sky idealist, but just once in my life I would like to see a Presidential candidate, that wants to restrain the Federal Government to it’s Constitutional mandate. I know that’s too much to ask, and nobody would vote for him/her.
I’ll go beat my head against a wall now.
Red: Anyone to make it to this point is gonna by nature either be corrupt, stupid, or batshit crazy, and/or a combination of any or all of the above. We should all beat our heads against walls.
Ron Paul in 2012. And here I thought my liberal Oak Park diaspora neighbors cross the street because I do my own yardwork. Wearing overalls and no t shirt.
It might be the rubber chicken head, n5.
!!
I would certainly, if I were you, be tickled to put a “Paul” sign on my yard, just to tweak my neighbors.
Perhaps Ru Paul would be a better choice?
I don’t know. Romney has only two things which differenciate him from Obama:
1. He is white
2. Both his parents were American Citizens, prior to his birth, so he does not have to deal with THAT issue.
Other than that, they are the same.
Gingrich uses his tongue better than a $200.00 hooker, with the resulting buyer’s remorse being about the same, the morning after. I believe he does understand the Constitution, that aside, he is ego-centric enough to say or do what ever is best for Newt, regardless of the consequences. Though I do not believe he is quite the narcissist Obama is. Still, power corrupts, and in Newts case, ti doen’t have far to go.
Ron Paul…Ron Paul…Enough with the anti-semite talk Dr. Paul, or at least the appearance of same. Letting Israel handle its own affairs AND letting Iran have nuclear capabilities? … if it walks like a duck and squawks like a duck, etc. Now, if they could graft his domestic policy into almost any one of the other candidates…at least any one who has a viable foreign policy applicable to this day and age, then we would have a viable candidate.
Rick Santorum Another Huckabee. Wanting to put his personal brand of morality on the foreheads of Americans. Might make for a great neighbor, but not a President. He also gave the state of PA Arlen Spector…so one has to wonder about his “real conservative creds”.
Rick Perry Probably about the best we can expect outta the current crop. Which is not saying much about crop quality. To give him credit, when he stepped out of line with his constituents in Texas, he did back up and regroup. He does appear to listen to his people. But I wonder about him as well.
Huntsman/Bachmann/Cain Two of these three are already out of the running, and Huntsman is probably not too far from this status.
Perhaps if we looked at them as Peanuts characters:
Charlie Brown=Huntsman
Lucy=Ron Paul
Linus=Gingrich
Snoopy=Romney (as “Joe Romney”)
Schroeder=Perry
Peppermint Patty=Sarah Palin
Violet=Bachmann
And all the moderators at the debates would sound like the adults in the cartoons.
Your parody on “Because I got high” needs to be set to music (karaoke anyone?)
Huntsman needed to get out a long time ago. He polled about the same in the caucii as he’s been polling all along. All he got was pity votes. He should be too embarrassed to continue.

Who expects to read or hear this on the MSM?
