The GOP primaries are approaching and to be honest, they all seem like nutbag cooks to me. But, I must ask, which of the candidates, regardless of how democratic and foreign you might be, would you like to vote for.
that should be Rick Perry not Rick Per
Huntsman is a Dream Theater fan, so him.
Normally? None of the above.
But to annoy Euros? Crazy Eyes.
You forgot the black guy.
Candication!

I did forget the black guy... but then again, so do all republicans...
I would have used a picture of a Pizza and an Oreo. Or a Pizza and Uncle Tom's cabin.
I still like Huntsman.
I have to admit, I like how Sarah Palin just stalks the other candidates. Showing up in her bus everywhere they go and trying to upstage them. That is a unique political strategy, I'll give her that. I'm not sure what it is suppose to accomplish, though.

I'll admit that using the Burrito for Jaron might have been slightly over the top.
Bachman, because I would choose to vote for the most damaging candidate.
Or is that not the purpose of this exercise?
You are missing Gary Johnson and Thaddeus McCotter, both of whom top my list over everyone, even Jaron.

People with no personality can't be expressed in two pictures... like how Rick Santorum can't be included since rick perry already has the batshit prayer bit....
Santorum pics wouldn't be SFW.
That's like asking what flesh eating bacteria would you rather be exposed to. Of the list, I would have to go with Huntsman, because the few things I heard about him make him sound like a reasonable guy who seems to at least make an effort to not succumb to the clinically insane wing of the party. Of course, Rudy Giuliani may also sound like a reasonable guy if you only heard a few things about him.
I voted Romny. He's so dishonest and so regularly reverses himself, it's unlikely he'd do anything he says he would do.
:jaron: Or maybe Johnson.
I think Romney will get my vote.

"Wurzelbacher explained that by working hard (10-12 hours a day) he was in a position to buy a business. If he bought a truck and expanded the business, he wondered if his success would be greeted by a penalty in the form of higher taxes.
"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" Wurzlebacher asked.
"It's not that I want to punish your success," Obama explained. "I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
The common good
Spread the wealth around. That can mean many things. It could mean a rising tide lifts all boats. But it could also mean government taking from one group of people (the people who earned it) and giving it to those who did not.

They are from a minority religious sect that has been persecutred in the past. The last thing they are going to do is mess around with the Jews.
meanwhile, Rick perry's idea of ecumenicalism is to lead supposedly multidenominational prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The temptation may be to think that Ron Paul isn't so bad for the Jews, but it is an illusion - he is just equally bad for everybody.

The actual quote:
Quote from: Audacity of Hope
Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

What's so crazy about Romney? Sure, he's a Mormon but that doesn't seem to affect his policies. He's obviously a Bush 41 style moderate desperately pretending to be a Tea Partier to get elected.
Bush was a moderate due to his core beliefs. Romney doesn't appear to have any.
I pretty much agree with this guy. I just can't see Bachman winning the nomination. It's a two man race now, Romney vs. Perry.

He's says we should be less worried about offending other cultures and not be concerned about multiculturalism. So when he is elected President the US army will save money by removing Kosher meals. Jews and Muslims can either accept Jesus Christ as their savior or they can just go to hell. And be hungry on the way there.
The military should drop haram meals on hungry towelheads. And with each meal, a mini-porno booklet.

that is up to you... I voted Jaron
There's also the possibility of voting for the candidate most likely to bring complete disaster upon America, thus opening her up to a period of Democrat-led renewal that hopefully involves great public works projects and air power.
I would vote for a robotic/zombie resurrection of Hitler who promised to wipe out all remaining Jews on Earth if it meant getting that fucking macaca out of the White House.
I'd like to vote for Huntsman but he will not be around in the general election. I think despite his flip flopping Romney has the most legitimate chance to win, Rick Perry is probably the second most electable but he's very fucking crazy. The reason Rick Perry should scare sensible people is he will have a compelling story come campaign time, and remember, Presidential elections aren't decided by swing voters, they are decided by swing voters in less than 5 swing States.
Essentially if Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida still have really high unemployment in 15 months and Rick Perry is the candidate he's going to be in those States talking about how great Texas has been under his watch, how 40% of America's new jobs are in Texas and how he will do similar stuff in Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.
Now, anyone who knows anything knows that Perry deserves little to no credit for Texas economic situation. Further, upon close scrutiny Texas is doing okay, but other states are doing better in various measures, Texas isn't as impressive as its buzzwords would have you believe. Take out its natural resources and it is even less so. Essentially I agree with Krugman (who I rarely agree with) on Texas and Rick Perry. Another thing is, Texas gains at the expense of shittier States, Texas creates jobs at the expense of other States, that doesn't work on a national level.
The problem with all that is it takes a paragraph to explain and someone willing to listen and understand it to really make an impact. What % of fat, beer swigging voters sitting on a cooler of Keystone in Pennsylvania will listen to that nuance? If he brands himself well and doesn't scare everyone into rallying against him Perry could actually win--and if you really read about who Rick Perry is, a Perry Presidency should scare pretty much any reasonable American more than even a second term of Obama.

Fuck man, whom should I vote for?
A Democrat. You know, the party most Jews vote for.
I would vote for a centrist democrat, not for an ideologically motivated President bent on redistribution of wealth.
What substantive evidence (i.e. not found on fox news) do you have for the assertion that Obama is ideologically motivated for the redistribution of wealth?
"Wurzelbacher explained that by working hard (10-12 hours a day) he was in a position to buy a business. If he bought a truck and expanded the business, he wondered if his success would be greeted by a penalty in the form of higher taxes.
"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" Wurzlebacher asked.
"It's not that I want to punish your success," Obama explained. "I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
The common good
Spread the wealth around. That can mean many things. It could mean a rising tide lifts all boats. But it could also mean government taking from one group of people (the people who earned it) and giving it to those who did not.
"
From Dreams of My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."
From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."
From Dreams of My Father: ; "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela."
From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
No real show stoppers, but the quotes definitely show an odd pattern of thinking.
You stupid fuck.

QuoteAnyone looking for Barack Obama's real sentiments about whites, blacks and Muslims won't find them in this scurrilous collection of falsified, doctored and context-free "quotations." The e-mail claims to feature words taken from Obama's books, "The Audacity of Hope" (2006) and "Dreams from My Father" (1995, republished in 2004). But we found that two of the quotes are false, and others have been manipulated or taken out of context.
We have received many inquiries about this from readers whose suspicions were aroused, with good reason. Aside from the fact that the e-mail incorrectly cites the title of Obama's book as "Dreams of My Father," rather than "Dreams from My Father," you may have noticed that none of the quotes in this e-mail contain page references. This should be a sign to any reader that the author is trying to pull a fast one, betting that you won't take the time to read through all 806 pages of Obama's books to get to the facts.
I can't really post it here in full without some work because of the format and I am going to bed now. I know it isn't Fox News or Rush Limbaugh and it has some pretty big words but maybe you should have your wife read it to you, hopefully she can explain what it means.
You should do the rest of the world a favor and just stay home on election day if you are going to be so incredibly ignorant about the topic.
I think I'll vote SWP next year. :swiss:

It's interesting that you bring up Florida and Rick Perry.The governor of Florida, Rick Scott, has done everything he can to literally(basically his words) emulate Rick Perry. It appears that Scott and Perry are close: For instance, Scott appeared at Perry's prayer rally via TV.
Not surprisingly, Scott's proposals to slash regulations and corporate taxes to almost nothing, based on Texas's example, have been opposed on the ground that they do nothing to actually help the economy. About 7 months in to his first year, Scott is incredibly unpopular: I believe his approval ratings are around 30%- he would get slaughtered if the election was any time coming up. Quite frankly, if Scott endorsed Perry, it would probably hurt Perry in Florida. And in a general election, I can see Obama attacking Perry in Florida by associating him with Scott.

The prayer rally thingies convince me why catholicism is better than protestantism. Sure, it often means that the catholic church is a dominant force in the country, but there is a clear divide between the clergy and the catholic laymen, such as politicians. It would be unthinkable for a politician to lead a prayer rally in a catholic country - because the church would simply not allow it, seeing it as an usurpation of its domain. So while catholic politicians can and often do participate in religious functions, they do it ostensibly from the same position as ordinary voters - and this prevents the creation of this sort of abominable theocracy-like situations.

Yeah, although in the US I would guess there is an additional factor of catholic politicians taking an extra care not to appear they are under the thumb of a foreign power (i.e. Vatican) due to historical prejudices.
However, even extremely catholic, fundamentalist politicians simply would not dare to offend a local archbishop or cardinal by usurping the power of leading the congregation. In practice, the benefit is that it means even if there is a very close alliance between the throne and the altar, they are still occupied by two different people - and this means there is a potential for a conflict or at least a dialogue. Historically, whenever the same person is both the high priest and the monarch, this spells trouble.

Nope, Missouri State Archives is giving lectures concerning the Civil War in Missouri. Either at the Secretary of State's office or another building across the street from the Capital. German immigrants were essentially the anchor that kept Missouri in the Union. Missouri sent more Germans to fight for the Union then any other state except New York. Even German slave owners (of which there were a few), were abolitionist.

POLL: Rick Perry Jumps To Double-Digit Lead Over Romney And Bachmann
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the newest entrant in the 2012 Republican presidential race, has a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports.
According to the telephone survey, Perry has the support of 29% of likely Republican primary voters. Romney, who has heretofore been viewed as the frontrunner, earned 18%, while Bachmann picked up 13% .
Perhaps more significantly, Perry captured 39% of the vote among members of the Tea Party, with Bachmann coming in a distant second with 21% support. The numbers indicate that Perry is already starting to chip away at Bachmann's social conservative base — Tea Party support split almost evenly between Bachmann and in a Rasmussen poll conducted just two weeks ago.
The numbers are a major boost for Perry's nascent presidential campaign, which officially kicked off just four days ago.
"Governor Perry is enjoying a bounce from entering the race at precisely the right time," Scott Rasmussen said in a statement. "Now the difficult part begins for the new frontrunner. It's much easier winning support when people are hoping you will get in the race, than retaining support when you are the frontrunner."
Perry! Perry! Perry!

Between his attitude and the Euros/dirty foreigners disliking him, I'd stuff the ballot box for him.
You can have him.
Not sure why you like his attitude. The dude is a total wimp.
I'm just enjoying Viking's fits over him. A vote for Perry is a vote to troll Viking and his ilk for 4 years.

You have to live in his country, I don't... so can't imagine how any gloating on your party won't be completely dwarfed by mockery on my part.

Because a Perry presidency would be essentially like any other Republican presidency and all those extraneous prayer rallies that make you froth don't really matter.

The prayer thing is weird. I've never heard of a Gov. doing that.

I just want to say using this pic for Gingrich was funny as balls.
It's always good to see one's hard work be appreciated. I had to look pretty hard for find that one.
It's so totally perfect, in so many ways.

This is America, where Catholic politicians learned over 100 years ago that the local archdiocese has no pull in electoral issues beyond the weekly bulletin--something the moron Protestantards haven't figured out yet.
Oh, I think many Protestant ministers have a fair amount of pull. A couple(Huckabee, Robertson) have even had decent runs at the GOP Presidential nomination.
OK, maybe I didn't say what I was feeling correctly, since it was early today without much coffee; I'm talking about the traditional American Catholic politician's understanding of, and appreciation for, the separation of church and state: that what they may observe personally and spiritually, as opposed to what they practice policy for. As opposed to the Protestantards. The church and state separation thing? They just don't get it.
Makes me want to read me some Cuomo. The good one, not the stupid one.

That chick doesn't appear to have any tits.
That's it, Nehemiah. You're on report.
Siege, no. That's where I cross the line. No anime porn. :mad:
siegy is making demotivators, only he doesn't realize that the images expire on the website he's making them on. Once the images expire they are deleted and thus his image posts become empty.

But it is not like I will be doing any voting until long after the Republican nomination is long since decided so who cares what I think?

AFAIK it's from the Iowa state fair, which must go on for like 10 weeks or something.
Could be that deep-fried butter that's real popular there, too.

Kids, parents, or people who want something they can just pop in the microwave. :contract:
Do you have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_cake at home as well? :P
No, but my sister used to like buying those frozen corn dogs you get at the supermarket.
Corn dogs = kids food.
So? Children may not be intelligent but they do have a kind of low cunning.
Only took Perry a couple of days to jump the shark, in a silly attempt to pull in Ron Paul voters by threatening assault against Bernanke.

I remember back in the 1990's how Pat Buchanan claimed that if elected his first act of office would be arrest Bill Clinton at the inauguration ceremony. :lol:

Perry is such a badass if you messed with Texas he would lead a group praying to God to make you stop.
