2012 Republican News
Well, the Iowa straw polls are in a couple days, and the 2012 presidential campaign is well underway. While the field of candidates for the GOP isn't set yet (I expect the field to both expand and contract as the election approaches), there are some politicians who have already declared their candidacy. Once they've opened their mouths to declare, they make room for their feet.
Today's foot-in-the-mouth subject of derision is Mitt Romney. He's famously slick and his pro-business agenda slipped out today in this exchange: Quote:

Unfortunately, I still do not see a viable candidate from the right side.
Gonna be the lesser of two ... again. <sigh>

V and Monkey -- you are both grossly, hugely, infinitely wrong about this.
Just who the FUCK makes corporations in the first place, you two? Martians? Stromatolites? It takes humans to do business. That is Romney's point, and you two, along with the jackass in the background of the soundbite who burst out laughing, all have points on the tops of your heads. Crush and destroy Obama and the Socialist Democrats! Let Libertarianism wash them away!

Am I the only one who is amused by UG's political contortionism here? When it comes to invading other countries, he's all "pro-democracy" and "down with the anti-democrats".
Flip to US politics and he's "Down with the Democrats!" and "Up Republicanism". I've got a new user title for him. The Republican Guard. I think it is available.

Yes, the part about how only 9% of Texas Republicans would vote for him for President doesn't surprise me in the least. The guy is a douchebag of the highest order, and everyone here knows that.

I don't want another religious right-wing nut in the White House but Obama has to go...

Yea, I agree. It could be a slippery slope. I would settle for the Republickins winning back the Senate, narrowly, and keeping the House, while Obama gets re-elected vs another swing of the pendulum to a single party control. I would really like to see the introduction of a strong minority party in both houses that would force more compromise. Any way you look at it the whole system of fucked up. I am beginning to hate them all.

Me too, Merc. (wow, I agree with you on something! )
I'd like the election process cleaned up and money, lobbyists, PAC's, super-PAC's, and all the buying and selling of politicians eliminated. Then, we might could get something useful done. Yeah yeah, I know. Never gonna happen.
