Is it wrong that I just had a blissful daydream where all the just like Hitler assholes were dead, because he's just like Hitler? Yes, that was a bad thought, BAD TOM! Forfeit one FEMA camp and move back three house seats.

W proved to them that they don't need an serious candidate, or legislator. They just need a puppet who will say the right things in the right order and all the good little white olds will line up to vote for them. Also,too a few strategically placed malfunctioning Diebold optical scanners in swing states.

Please, somebody explain to me why this guy can't win the nomination. There's no chance, right? I can't do it, I can't go through a year of this bullshit.

"That empty, heartless chuckle will put paid to his candidacy." As much as I find his droopy-eyelid visage off-putting when he responds (it's like he has to close the curtains to watch the slideshow going on in his head), it's that goofy little disconnected giggle that suggests to me this is one doctor who is self-medicating. At least when fictional character Dr. Gregory House did it, he was still able to function at some level.

So, I don't really want to speak for this person so I'll obscure the details slightly, but I know someone who was one of his fellow residents at JHU (this guy isn't a famous neurosurgeon, but he is a damn good doctor). Says he was a nice guy back then and a talented doctor, but never used to believe all the crap he spouts now. I believe the exact turn of phrase was something along the lines of "sold his soul to the devil".

Lil' Ricky, once again, doesn't know wtf he's droning on about. A professor at a NYC university did a qualitative study years ago who's results strongly indicated that it wasn't the gender of the couple that is determinative of a good outcome for a child, but the quality of the relationship between the adults and with the child. Gender made no difference.

Lil' Ricky knows this, but like all good far right extremists, that and other studies pointing in the same direction are ignored in favor of anecdotal "evidence." In other words, no evidence at all.

Authoritarians do love their authoritarianism especially when Hitler was letting the people of the party own guns and disarming the undesirables. Then there was the German Christian Church mixing Jebus and Nazi Dogma, these guys would consider such a regime the big dog's biscuit whilst the RINO's would consider it hell on Earth.

We have to do something about this reality teevee election process. Everyone knows none of the crazy loons are going to be standing when we get into the nitty gritty of primary season, but they still get to spout all they want unquestioned across the airwaves because it's good for ratings. Can you imagine what this country would look like if we had a compressed primary schedule that forced the two major parties to only put forth serious, qualified candidates because there wasn't time for anything else.

What do you know, I agree with him. Yes, fascism *could* happen here. Oh, wait, let's see: "fascism is more properly called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power" - Mussolini... um, VP Dick Cheney, 2001-2009, golden parachute from no-bid Halliburton, 2001 - 2005, sorry, I guess it's already here....

And the Clown Car wants more of it, but with a pseudo-Christian spin (like the Wehrmacht belt buckles, which read "God mit uns"...

*sigh* Of course, the right never accepts responsibility for *anything*, the buck don't stop there.....
