GOP Primary Megathread!

[alfred russel]

I think what is convincing me to just plain give up on the Republicans is not so much that they seem to care about all this bullshit, but that they STILL seem to care, even after it is clear that caring about stupid shit like this is a big part of why there is a pretty boy Dem in the White House.

And they won't let it go. I used to think that it was a mostly harmless quirk, something to be ignored while focusing on the "meat" of the issues. But now I am realizing that for many in the Republican Party, bullshit like this IS the meat, and the other stuff is the distractions to be ignored or only examined once the candidates bona fides as a fundy religious fruit cake are well and truly established.

The other day I read something about Santorum noting that the belief birth control is immoral is only held by something like 15-20% of Americans. Which struck me as a crazy high number, but if it is true, you have to think they will almost all be republicans, so they are 30-40% of the party. Then you factor in primaries and especially caucuses having low turnouts that draw the more ideological members, and we have explained the Santorum phenomena.

I think that Berkut just let slip that he's physically attracted to Obama.

'Santorum continued to sharpen his tone against the White House, making a World War II analogy that appeared to compare Obama to Hitler.'

A day after saying President Barack Obama's agenda is about a "phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible," Rick Santorum continued to sharpen his tone against the White House as he spoke to some 3,000 supporters at a megachurch here.

Damnit, Raz, when a man disavows a relationship with the Republican Party, you should just congratulate him rather than quibble.*

Congratulations, Berkut!

I figured that shit out by 1992, but some kids take longer.

Hating Poppa Bush would be like hating Mom and apple pie.

At this time I am going to simply disavow any actual relationship with the Republican Fucking Party.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I wonder what he'll do  if Santorum wins a general election?

Who cares what *he'll* do? My eyes will be bugging out of my skull.

Poppy rolled over on the Chinese at Tiananmen Square like, well, a Chinese tank at Tiananmen Square.

Oh, and he backed the wrong horse in Moscow, when it was obvious Boris was the new hottness.

Hopefully annex Canada so you have to share in our misfortune.

Oh, I meant Santorum and not Berkut, obviously.

Nobody cares about Chinese people.

Did that matter?  Whoever the US supports to govern Russia was irrelevant, is irrelevant and always will be irrelevant.  Poppy Bush could have backed Dorsey in Russia, and they still would have ended up with a Putin.

The United Santorum States can't annex Canada.  Jesusism as a government is forbidden here.

Which is really strange since the american paper says jesusism as a government is banned but in canada jesusism is part of government and the head of state is a jeususist and justifies her continued role as head of state on jesusist grounds.

Wrong.  She's a monarch, not a god.

The Ohio atty general mike dewine(a decent guy) switched from underpants to god boy. A minor kerfuffle has ensued.

[Jacob]

What sort of kerfuffle? Any salacious details?
