You go into an election with the candidates you have; not necessarily the candidates you want.

Or, in this case, the candidates anybody wants to vote for.

I thought of Strong Bad's brother, <a href="http:\/\/www.homestarrunner.com\/yearbookss.html" target="_blank">Strong Sad.</a> Who is also sad and depressing.

I don't hate them. I don't want them to get elected, but if one of them had a heart attack in front of me I'd call 911. If Ahmadinejad called Bachmann an asshole, I'd tell him to STFU. They're my fellow citizens after all.

Too bad most TP'ers prefer to think Obama is the Enemy. They express a visceral hatred. They think the United States of America is Hell because we democratically enacted health insurance reforms, because we say anyone who can fight can serve, because we think we have obligations to each other, not to our wallets.

"gaetan dugas" is an anagram for "Tea Bagger". (You have to change the "S" to a "B" and the "D" to an "R" and change some other letters. Also drop some extra letters. But it works.)

I think this is how Spanky2's mind works:

"They keep saying libunatic is a dumb word, therefore it is THE GREATEST WORD EVER because it bothers liberals."

This is exactly how Spanky got his mom to express just how much she loved him, by beating the living shit out of him.

It never occurs to him that you might be trying to help him out, because matters of human decency and taste are completely alien to him.

(He also says "I can Google 'libunatic' and only find myself, which then leads to amorous advances by my own hand, because I am so famous.")

actually i meant that he could be a challenge to bamz PRECISELY b/c he appears far more moderate than he is - and would have a far easier time in the general election.

that's IF he could could get out of the primaries (doubtful but still scary).

We've got Bachmann for chrissakes, how much crazier do you want? Foaming at the mouth and biting the podium?

i wonder if huntsman could be a serious challenge?

not that he'd excite the base (and 'base' really is the operative word for republican red meat supporters).

Who said this was going to be a divisive campaign? Already, the Republican candidates are bringing the country together.

Wasn't it just this week "Generic" Republican was in the lead?

Golly, things change fast these days!

In other news, "a new study that proves the GOP is sadder than a goth girl on prom night" is funny, funny stuff!

In other news, Gubnor Ballsack Perry (R-Shitstain) doesn't need to disclose his travel expenses for 18 months, thanks to the whore judges at the Texas Supreme Court. This means the fine people of Texas are paying for him and the DPS dignitary security unit to fly around while he campaigns and sells his book using my tax dollars: <a href="http://www.chron.com/disp/s..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/...">http://www.chron.com/disp/s...

Fuck you Rick Perry. At least he's like other Republic politicians - he consistently uses his position for self-entitlement.
