Well, that's not very elaborate.

Since you obviously hold your own intelligence in very high esteem, can you please add a bit more color to your response?

Was that really necessary?

I suppose not.

Though it is funny Todd demands elaboration when he feels satisfied with South Park quotes as posts.

No, I don't demand anything, I just find it funny that someone who posts an obviously absurd statement like you did can only retort something along the lines of "You're dumb." 

I would really like to learn from you, who obviously knows so much about politics, and no doubt life in general, how I am an idiot and what, if anything, I can do to rise to your high standards.

Okay fine. First lesson: South Park quotes as posts will not do.

Technically, I wasn't quoting a specific episode of South Park.  But if that will not do, how about, say, Married With Children.  Is that intellectual enough?

You tell me. You're the one most familiar with this stuff.

But can I?  After all, I'm an idiot, as you pointed out, so I need some sage advice from you.  Just what is a reputable source for a quote.  I beseech you, please share.

I won't be once you share your wisdom with me.  Please enlighten me.  Share your vast life experience and knowledge, otherwise I'll be forced to conclude that the quality of your earlier post that started all this does in fact demonstrate the extent of your intellectual capacity.

Nah, actually, South Park references in posts will do.

And now Abe replies... "Screw you guys, I'm going home!"  ;)

I know very little about Perry.  Why the negativity?

Look up Cameron Todd Willingham.  The New Yorker article is a good place to start:

    Choosing from these pathetic losers is like choosing between bubonic plague, the Ebola virus, the electro magnetic pulse,
    nuclear disaster, Tsunamis, earthquakes, and  the black plague.  God save us from any of them being elected !

Some of you folks are really beating up on the Republican candidates.  Perhaps each of them is a pathetic loser, but I have a hard time thinking of Obama as a winning president.

Overall, I'm taking a "wait and see" attitude.  If Obama continues as a timid president, I'll be shopping around.

Obama is timid, so you're shopping around for batfuck crazy?  Cuz that's what the Republicans are offering.

While that's the case with some of them, I can't see how it's possible to characterize either Romney or Huntsman in such a way.

Dude, I heard a former (Republican) Senator dismiss Paul

I love how the Establishment,... Dems & Pubs alike... are blaming everything on the

a) No One Can get elected who will revoke the Central Bank's Charter

b) No One Can get elected who will repeal the IRS


The Establishment (you know, the Yalie & Harvard Lawyers who play act as our representatives, and such),... somehow,... has made the people not to vote for anyone who would dismantle this country from, say, 1913 on.

Why wouldn't people vote for the person who would get rid of the IRS? Because Mr. Bernays showed how to dupe people, and play reverse psychology,... our government is basically a bunch of PR Specialists with Law Degrees,... Professional Liars bought and payed for by


...oh, I tire myself...


Well, at least football will keep the American Great Unwashed busy wallowing in their addiction, while the Government Caste pillages Soc Sec and Medicare



oh, and I was supposed to stay away from this Topic for a few days. Apparently I dig at the News too much, and scream and yell all the time, and the people around get tired of it (and it IS exhausting to hate so much all day!! ;)).

Basically, I don't believe anything concerning this government (not just the admin),... let's say, at least since...mm... well, at least Carter was transparently bad, no?

Reagen
Bush 1
Clinton
Bush 2
Obama


Hey kids! Didya hear that John Bolton is mulling a run? :o :o :o

Basically, I'm starting to think that another term of Obama may be better than any Tel Aviv genuflecting Republican. At least Obama is acting like he's having a problem with the Theocracy-with-Nukes. Of course, they know how to bring him into line (which is what we've been seeing). Make no doubt: ANY Next President, unless Obama gets reelected, will, without a doubt, be taking direct orders from Tel Aviv (and, in Perry's case,... gosh, he pretty well declares this as his platform (and Cain too)). That's when we'll attack Iran,... and get this 'ole American Economy Hummin' Again,...heeeee haw!!! ??? :-\ :-X :-[ :'( ??? ::) :-\ :-X :( >:( ??? :-[ :-\ :-X >:D :'(


btw- terrorists, schmerrorits,... it's obvious that Al Queada is that guy from 1984.







ok,... I think the take away from this Post is:

I would RATHER see The Hated One (Obama) go again, than to go STRAIGHT into WWIII by having any number of Freemason-Mormon-FakeAmericanChristian puppets take the reins. Paul is the only known American Political Figure (next on (way) down the line would be Jesse Ventura) who takes on the Rothchild Central Bank (the Octopus),... of course he won't win (even if he did,... that's why we have the Israeli made Diebold voting machines).

Israel wants Perry, I think,... unless Obama starts sucking up real purdy like...


I'm having a hard time seeing the next election without sooome kind of false flag fake-terrorist event (Chicago?) to get the populace shaken up for what, I suppose, may be the biggest (fake) election in history (it will be 2012 after all,... not sayin',... just sayin').


They're ALREADY in full campaign mode in AUGUST 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yikes!!!

I think I caught a buzz from ranting ???. Where's that paper bag?...



Why can't the American People start the Angry Villagers Party and rise up and elect farmers and such to office?


oh,... that's right...

didn't, was it Jefferson or Adams?, who said that once the public starts getting 'stuff' from the government, they will ALWAYS elect the person promising the greatest largesse.

The Americans of today don't DESERVE the Founders' Country,... America MUST fall, at this point, become a Service Nation...


I'm voting for Andrew Jackson. ;)







I'm looking over this Post, and...yikes!... it's a horrible, long rambling mess,...

...mm...

I feel good about it! My job is done here. ;)

Happy Voting!

Well, they are both Mormons, aren't they?  Which for some people would qualify them as at least borderline crazy.

Huntsman and Romney are both too moderate, is their problem, because they're trying to become the candidate of a party whose membership by and large now believes that being moderate and centrist is a bad thing, and that being ideologically pure is good politics.  Also, Romney is the apparent preference of the GOP establishment, which again the general membership seems to think is a bad thing.   I don't think Huntsman has much of a chance.  What Romney needs is for the "crazy" candidates to knock each other out  and leave him as the last man standing.  What he has to be afraid of is for the last "crazy" candidate emerging with enough momentum and support to knock him out instead.

Religious bigots may think some such, yes.

Huntsman has no chance.  Romney has a chance.  Neither are crazy/far right/etc.
