I don’t much care for carnage, but this looks like a train wreck happening before our very eyes. We may see the Tbaggers actually disintegrating the Reflubs as they reach their hysterical limits.

Why do Republicans keep getting associated to things of the Left? Musillini’s Fascism was a fusion of Marxism and American Progressivism. Leftists in America were drooling over the new economic models of National Socialism’s Germany, Fascist Italy, Communist Soviet Union… all cousins of one another in the rotten family known as Collectivism.

Your master Lord Zero would be the worst. He could continue bailing out banks and crony corporations and blowing up Asian children, while your worthless zombie whores continue to eat the dingelberries off his butt hair while you felch him.

The main thing these idiots have going for them is that a few of them are actually less disgusting than that idiot Kenyan invader currently disgracing the Whitehouse. I think I’ll vote third party again…

@ MalikTous – "…idiot Kenyan invader currently disgracing the Whitehouse [sic]"?

Um, you aren’t very bright, are you? Please do the integrity of the electoral process a favor and don’t vote at all.

As for the worst potential GOP/TP president, my pick is Gingrich. He doesn’t have an ethical or moral bone in his body, and he’ll employ a scorched earth policy to get what he wants. The others would be disastrous too, but they’re buffoons while Gingrich is evil. If he were somehow elected, I’d leave the country.

 

 Posted by Mary Ann C. on February 3, 2012 at 10:10 am

I pretty much think they all would be a horrible choice!

 

 Posted by Infidel753 on February 2, 2012 at 7:27 am

While Gingrich is the most disgusting, I’m voting Santorum here. A person who could describe a rape-induced pregnancy as a "gift from God" should never been in a position of any power over anybody.

 

 Posted by Lynn Squance on February 1, 2012 at 2:51 pm 

I’m with you Fred! ‘All of the above"

Gingrich — he’s hot tempered; a dictator; vengeful; deceitful; and a liar.

clip_image003

Rmoney — he’s a ‘chopshopist’ and will treat the country the same way as any company; he’s a liar; he blows with the wind every which way including silly.

clip_image003[1]

Santorum — Sanctomonious Santorum is just another maggot that will dictate everything including morals and releigion; has a pinched nose, probably from holding it to protect himself from his own stench.

Paul — He is your basic wack job who would let the population die.

I cast my vote for the worst for Sanctimonious Santorum.

 

 Posted by Cellophane on February 1, 2012 at 10:52 am 

Santorum since he’s the most sincere about forcing women to be barefoot and pregnant and without a vote. I’ll again recommend "The Handmaid’s Tale" by Margaret Atwood to see the future through Santorum’s eyes. Disgusting.

 

 Posted by Fred Lemon on February 1, 2012 at 8:21 am.  

You needed to include an "All of th Above" option. Or perhaps a ranking system of worst to just a little worse, etc.

 

 Posted by Dave C on February 1, 2012 at 4:46 am

all horrible….

The winners were Newter and the Frothmeister in a dead heat.  I voted for the third place choice.  I just fail to see how anyone could be a worse President than malignant, racist Ron Paul with his desire to abolish voting rights and return to the Jim Crow era, his return to the gold standard (that almost bankrupted the country in the early 1800s, his desire to completely dismantle the safety net, and his support for completely unrestrained vulture capitalism.

The new poll is up.

Yesterday I felt so tired when I returned home from the prison that I wrote this, set it to be published right after midnight, and went to bed.  The meeting was excellent.  Three new men joined our CoDA group there.  We did some insightful digging and made excellent progress.  I cannot say more without violating confidence, except that I could not be more proud of my guys.  I am not current with replies.  Today is a day for catch-up and recovery.

It was not out yet.  I’ll put up two tomorrow.

Keep saying NO to Big Oil!

From Business Week: The New Jersey Senate passed a bill that would allow gay and lesbian couples to marry, in the face of Republican Governor Chris Christie’s promise to veto it.

The Senate voted 24-16 in favor of the measure, sending it to the Assembly, which plans to consider it Feb. 16. Democrats, who control both houses of the Legislature, have made gay marriage a priority for 2012, two years after they failed to pass a similar bill supported by then-Governor Jon Corzine.

When Christie vetoes it, pass it again!

From Truth Dig: The prolonged Republican primary campaign appears to be taking a toll on independent voters’ faith in Mitt Romney. According to the latest Pew poll, only a minority of independents now describe Romney as “honest and trustworthy” and slightly more than half of independent voters now favor Barack Obama in a race against Romney, who led the president in that category only a month ago.

As is pointed out every four years or so, so-called independent voters typically decide presidential elections.

It’s still way too early to depend on polls, but this is positive news, especially since Obama does even better compared to the Frothmeister.

And here are your comments.

From Alan Becker on January 30, 2012 at 3:22 pm

 

Obviously the choice is a difficult one since each of these men represent stupidity, greed, hatred, and vapidity. If any of them does get in we can say goodbye to the United States and prepare for an era of dictatorship.

Who cares..Put bags on their heads and you wouldnt know the difference as they are all the same..losers.

From steve in reply to Ellen McCabe on January 23, 2012 at 12:13 pm.  

 

you obviously have no idea who is running or you wouldnt have said that. Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich are all the same, but to say Ron Paul is even slightly the same as those 3 (and Obama) simply proves you have little-to-no knowledge on politics. please do some research and vote Ron Paul in 2012.

 

From Yvonne White in reply to steve on January 23, 2012 at 8:07 pm

 

You’re right – Ron Paul is Worse because he pretends to be anti-war pro-pot legalization. But he named his son after "greed is good" Ayn Rand, hates Social Security, won’t accept Medicare refuses Medicaid..so he IS another Bu$h Leaguer in sheep’s clothing..

 

From John Dasef on January 18, 2012 at 10:47 am.  

 

I hope it stays undecided so they will continue to expend resources attacking each other right up to their convention. The more they spend now, the more will have to be replaced for the general election. A pox on all their houses.

 

From Patty on January 16, 2012 at 9:42 am.  

 

Romney will be the nominee and someone else will run on the Independent ticket.

 

From Lynn Squance on January 16, 2012 at 3:51 am.  

 

I really don’t know, but I somehow doubt it. I heard that Newty and Perry both missed the deadline to get on the SC ballot. If that’s the case, I think Perry’s gone on the 21st which is no loss —good riddance. That leaves Romney, Santorum, Paul and Newty. I think Newty could be gone after SC assuming he didn’t get on the ballot but he is just arrogant enough to keep going. He’ll probably screw up again with paper work again and be gone. That leaves Romney, Santorum and Paul. Can Romney get enough delegates between SC and Florida to make the rest of the primaries moot? The Republican/Teabaggers organisation certainly don’t seem enamoured with him but the votes say the rank and file see it differently. Santorum and Paul are so extreme, but they might be able to hold on longer.

 

From Rob in reply to Lynn Squance on January 18, 2012 at 9:46 am.  

 

They’re all on the ballots in SC; I think it was Virginia that they missed (only Romney and Paul on that one). Of course, a legal battle will come out to change that VA situation, I’m sure.

Don’t give a Rat’s oops…

The majority had the correct, but in fairness, many voted after that was a done deal.  I voted No on the second day.

January is over, and there are two running, one also ran, and one who never mattered and never will.

A new poll has been posted for you.

When you come right down to it, Republicans are not hard to figure out, if you keep in mind that everything Republicans do is to further one of two key Republican goals.  The first is to transfer wealth from the poor and middle classes to millionaires, billionaires and corporate criminals.  The second is to establish a permanent, election proof, Republican one-party regime to last for 1,000 years.  Republicans keep saying that American voters want to do away with excessive regulation.  This lie serves the first goal.  American voters do not agree.

18moneyThe Post just released a new finding from its new poll that goes directly to the heart of the big argument over capitalism and economic unfairness that will decide Campaign 2012. It finds that a sizable majority sees the current economic system as inherently unfair in a way that favors the wealthy, and sees this as a more serious problem facing America than government regulation of the free market:

What do you think is the bigger problem in this country — unfairness in the economic system that favors the wealthy, or over-regulation of the free market that interferes with growth and prosperity?

Economic unfairness : 55

Market overregulation: 35

Among the 55 percent who see economic unfairness that favors the wealthy as the main problem say Obama is better equipped than a GOP candidate for president to deal with it, 35-15. Not surprisingly, those who see market regulation as the problem overwhelmingly see the GOP candidate as the best equipped to deal with it

The Post polling team gave me a partisan breakdown. Moderates see economic unfairness on behalf of the wealthy as a bigger problem than market overregulation by 59-29. And those who see unfairness as the problem break two to one in support for Obama over the GOPer as the one better positioned to handle it. Independents see economic unfairness as a bigger problem by 52-38 (though they split evenly between Obama and the Republican)… [emphasis added]

Since a clear majority opposes the Republicans’ number one goal, the next step is to educate America that Republicans are responsible for the economic unfairness they oppose.

Here are the results of our Most Important Primary poll:

Poll0116

And here are your comments:

From Caitlin M. on January 13, 2012 at 5:21 pm

 

Even though I’m originally from New Hampshire and choosing any other state’s caucus or primary as most important would be kin to heresy, I chose Florida because of its size, elder population (boomers are plentiful!), and history of malfeasance! It’s important because it seems to find a way to put in whoever it wants in spite of the vote. But I guess that’s more in the November vote. Never mind!

From SoINeedAName on January 4, 2012 at 5:14 am

 

Florida – because of its size, and because its demographics more closely match the country’s.

 

From mamabear on January 3, 2012 at 4:17 pm

 

South Carolina

From Cellophane on January 3, 2012 at 11:33 am

 

I’m calling South Carolina because that will be the end of Newty. Even his own state won’t vote for him. Of course, he claims residence in every state, so it’s a tad confusing to voters.

 

From Rob on January 3, 2012 at 10:47 am

 

Since 1980′s, the victor the SC GOP primary went on to get the nomination; for that reason do I vote South Carolina to be the most important.

 

From TWM in reply to Rob on January 6, 2012 at 5:23 am

 

Then I hope Santorum carries it. But he’ll most likely make a greasy mess of his run there.

A plurality voted that none were important.

I voted for Florida, because it is the largest and most demographically balanced of the four.

There is a new poll up for the remainder of January.

Well, I don’t smoke and I don’t drink so those are out. I am going to try to increase the amount of water I drink from 2 litres per day to 3-4 litres, none of in tea or in coffee which I am allegic too. It is really good for everybody.

I did make my first New Years resolution in 2010. It was to lose weight. It even worked. I went from 180 to 115 pounds. All it cost was the removal of my spleen and my pancreas.

My last New Year’s resolution was the only one I’ve kept.  I resolved to make no more New Year’s Resolutions.

The new poll is up.

The history of the Republican race to date would read like Who’s Who in the asylum.  They seem desperate to find anyone but Multiple Mitt.  First it was ‘Crazy’ Michele, followed by Donald ‘the hair’, followed by ‘God chose me’ Perry, followed by ‘999’ Cain, followed by ‘Newter’, and followed by ‘Racist’ Ron.  Now Mitt is back in the lead, but Rick ‘Google Me’ Santorum, infamous for comparing Gay marriage to sex with dogs, is rising in polls.  Will this [expletive deleted] become the next GOP flavor?

29SantorumGoogleJust six days ahead of the Iowa caucuses, a new poll of Iowa Republicans suggests that Newt Gingrich’s political star may be falling in Iowa, where the former House speaker now comes in fourth behind frontrunner Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and surprise third-place finisher Rick Santorum.

The poll, conducted by CNN/Time/ORC from December 21-27, shows Romney leading Paul 25 percent to 22 percent in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, while Santorum trails with 16 percent. Gingrich earned 14 percent. Romney’s three point lead falls within the poll’s margin of error, which was 4.5 percent.

Behind Gingrich came Rick Perry with 11 percent, Michele Bachmann with 9 percent, and Jon Huntsman with one percent. Two percent of respondents said they had no opinion.

Gingrich has fallen dramatically in the last month, compared to a poll conducted by the same group between November 29-Dec. 6. In that survey, Gingrich led the pack in Iowa with 33 percent support. Mitt Romney trailed him by 13 points, with 20 percent, and Ron Paul followed him with 17 percent. Santorum, at the time, was not even polling in the double digits: He earned just five percent a month ago… [emphasis added]

Rendell may be right. Santorum could ne just despicable enough to appeal to the hate-filled Republican base and challenge Romney.
