Republican Candidates for the 2012 Nomination

[Razgovory]

So sofar the evidence the Palin-haters have arraigned against her has been a SNL skid by Tina Fey and the fact that she is a christian.  Wow, you guys certainly have made an airtight case against her. 

Which part of Tina Fey's sketch was it in where she wrote on her hand and quite being governor?  You have in her defense copy pasted a bunch of verbal gaffes taken from thousands of public appearances that Obama (whom you believe is unqualified) has made.  Palin has only done a handful of interviews and press questions.  Each time she made it quite clear she didn't know what the fuck she was doing.  I honestly don't know how you can go on like this with a straight face.

Take hope in it Raz, shows he's nuttier than you.

Petraeus pro imperator!

I'd love it if the Republicans ran him only to discover he was like Ike

An invalid who allows his young, moderate, energetic VP to set vast swathes of policy?

I fell off the Palin bandwagon when she couldn't even finish a single term as Governor of Alaska.

She seems like a decent enough person, but not qualified at this point to be President.

Well, I wouldn't say that I was ever on that bandwagon, but otherwise, I agree.

Though "decent enough person, but not qualified to be President" probably describes at least 2 out of the 10 Presidents we've had in my lifetime.

I guess 3 more were qualified, but jackasses, and probably 2 were both jackasses and not qualified, so that leaves at best 3 that were both qualified and decent people.

so that leaves at best 3 that were both qualified and decent people.

Nixon, Reagan and Bush.

Hmmm... I'm going to take a guess at your ratings.

(D, ~Q) = Ford or Bush, Obama
(J, Q) = Nixon, Johnson, Clinton
(J, ~Q) = Carter, Kennedy
(D, Q) = Papa Bush, Reagan, Ford or Bush 2

Edit- forgot I hadn't put Reagan in

Good God, man, you only got 3 right.  How the heck did you get Carter as "jackass, not qualified"?  "A decent man, but in way over his head as President" is practically the textbook description of Jimmy Carter.

Post-presidency, Carter became a bigger asshole than any President, before or since.

Unpossible as Nixon was and shall always remain the biggest Asshole to be president.

[DGuller]

Let me try.  We have Obama, Bush 2, Clinton, Bush 1, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, and JFK.

(D, ~Q) = Carter, Bush 2
(J, Q) = Clinton, Nixon, LBJ
(J, ~Q) = Kennedy, ???

¿Por qué no te callas, trol?

Nixon was the greatest American ever, and amazing evidence of the social inequitality in your adopted country.  Even though the poorest white man in America can rise to its highest office through amazing talent, the jealous elite will always bring him down.

Sigh, wouldn't expect an inbred Albertan hick to grasp the concept of greatness, so I'll just leave you to your delusions.

P.S. My avatar could kick your avatar's ass in fistacuffs you pansy Canuck.

Your willingness to swallow propaganda has been noted.

Nixon's determination would carry him to victory.
