Interesting-- there's still a devoted 30% or so of people in polls who think that President Bush is doing a good job.

I wonder if there's some 30% lower-limit threshhold of "just plain damn dumb" in mainstream conservatism.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

He got 30% during the previous election.
This year's primary is May 6.
If he gets 30% after this, I'll be extremely disappointed in my fellow Hoosiers.

I hate to shit on everyone's fun, but the guy is a candidate in the Republican primaries. He's never gotten to the general election and its likely he never will.

And to answer Mike's question: Yes, a lot of Republicans are saying he's a disgusting fucktard.

Nazi examples may be overused, certainly, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the reasoning.
Its an appeal to emotion (hate) and almost all of the time, there is no reasoning behind it.

One funny thing from the story is that I keep reading the old Republicans name as Chocula. :lol:

Funny you should mention his home, as he doesn't have one.
According to news reports he either gets a hotel room, sleeps in his law office, or occasionally stays with his ex-wife.

And for your edification, here's a pic of him shredding that Playboy

Now I'm not one to judge someone by their haircuts, but damn he looks like he just came out of the Hitler Youth.

There's always a core-batch of mindless zombies that just vote along the party line no matter what.

Well, after all, he had to look good for his weekly Bund meeting.

American politics seems to be an endless source of amusement for me. I swear it should just be turned into a comedy contest, because let's face it, the public sure as hell shouldn't decide given the past and this current Obama vs. Clinton affair.

They say Americans don't get irony? Pssh.
