GOP debate

[11B4V]

Obama's approval rating is at an all-time low. Sanity is going out of style.

You know, I wish the Republicans were cool and evil like in the old days. Now they're just pathetic and stupid. 

Agree

Old GOP


New GOP

So true, I remember watching The Matrix for the first time, thinking, "You know, these guys are straight out of the Nixon White House".

Are there any candidates you like?

Romney, Gingerich and Huntsman seem to merely be sipping the KoolAid(tm) and don't seem to be partaking of the Bat Guano. Bachman, Perry, Cain, Santorum and Paul seem to be doing one or both quite enthusiastically.

I don't think I'd prefer Romney, Gingerich or Huntsman over Obama, but they would be sane presidents.

Everything was cooler when Nixon was president.

It's kind of funny that the party of "small government" produces the presidents that get the most involved and (I feel) toe the line of overstepping their constitutional authority.  People like Siege bitch and moan about "lame" presidents, when it's pretty damn obvious they don't have enough of a clue about civics to understand what it is the president actually does.

Real power is in congress, power.  The president has limited pull and veto power, but the president is only a net negative on legislation, folks.  This isn't a faux-monarchy.  A president that refuses to bully Congress into getting his way is just one that's actually taking his oath to defend the constitution seriously.

Obama is no Mayor Nutters. Nutters in 2012!

No.  Just no.  The whole country would stink as bad as Philadelphia does right now (literally!).  He goes into Center City every day- I have no idea what possessed him to believe that rolling back trash pickup in a dense urban area was a good idea.  I'm pretty unshakeable in my love for Philly, but my nose is a little more easily swayed.

Jersey people complaining about smells.

Pawlenty is out, which eases the competition for the sanity vote.
But that leaves Huntsman, who looks like a no chancer, and Mitt, whose track record re national GOP primaries is unimpressive.

It doesn't really matter, does it?

Obama is going to get re-elected barring some kind of complete disaster.

... like Obama not getting re-elected.

Mitt, whose track record re national GOP primaries is unimpressive.

He did very well in 2k8.

He did very well in 2k8.

He finished behind the talk show host from Arkansas.

I suspect that the men in his unit have been giving him ideas.

Unlikely.

Well, he must be getting them from somewhere.  It's not like he could think up any on his own.

Are you sure about that? He won more states than Huck did.
