The New Republican Standard for President

According to "On the Issues", there have been so far, 20 Republicans to seek the 2012 nomination for President of the United States. Eight have withdrawn and the head count presently stands at 12 (Sarah Palin is classified as "withdrawn"). There is no known explanation for this mass run on the White House. But Republicans do seem to endorse a newly created standard that says anyone who can text and/or tweet is fully qualified for the Office of President.

This new standard provides good reason to expect even more candidates (and dropouts) as the campaign moves into 2012. As far as I can tell, "On the Issues" does a good job of providing unbiased, clear and factual information about present and potential office holders. But the website does not explain why political and government processes have recently evolved into something, shall we say, bizarre? For the Republican campaign head count, see: http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm

 

Well, they'll keep throwing them up there until one sticks, and people are stupid so......

 

The New Republicant Standard for President ...

well , with a minimum of respect for the 'Party of NO' , and if the condition of the country is anything to steer by after over 20 years of GOP 'trickle down' vodoo economics , , , 3 GOP wars , a failed US economy ,, crooks on Wall Street buying private islands on the taxpayer dime ,,,

well , I believe the following smiley would sum up the requirements of a good Republican ,,,

 

So many are running because Obama shat on our economy so whoever can snag the nomination is all but guaranteed to win the general.

 

When will you figure out that there is no difference between parties. They are both ruled by corporatism. power and money, power and money, thats what makes america great.

sure hope you agree

 

Yep, I have to agree.

 

This is quite true, but, one proudly and openly brags about being in the pockets of the ultra wealthy. One stinks a little less of the two choices.
You have to choose between getting hit in the head with a hammer, or having it cut off completely. Take the hammer or don't vote (and you'll insure the right wing will get in).

 

So who's your guy?

 

Nah, there's no difference. They are both equally corrupt. Reference CFR.

 

I'm gonna vote for the kook. The only one crazy enough to actually care about the America that used to be more than himself.

 

Yes, we're the party of No when it comes to leftwing tyranny that you people want to inflict on us.

No one gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) about burger flippers, pizza delivery guys and other menial wage laborers. Those people should move to Mexico where they can lead a better life.

 

Well, that locks in the republican vote for sure.

 

LOL. That makes one! Strange to vote for a republican that pisses off republicans.

 

Good man .

 

Certainly plenty to choose from for sure. Wait till next week, when blubber butt enters. The rabid right will drop Mitt and Georgey 3 like cheap champagne!

 

All peas out of the same pod. Oh well, something about "while Rome burns....."

 

Yeah..doomed to repeating history and all.

 

Another vote for the "kook". The rest of them are bought and paid for.

 

While that may indeed be the case, it doesn't stop the party of intolerance, and selfishness from turning daily life into an even bigger pile of (*)(*)(*)(*) if we let them get control.
If the choice is between a corporate run society that still accepts social diversity and a communal approach to problem solving, and a corporate run society that promotes selfishness and social Darwinism, I prefer the one that promotes diversity and shared burdens and benefits.

 

"But Republicans do seem to endorse a newly created standard that says anyone who can text and/or tweet is fully qualified for the Office of President."

(*)(*)(*)(*), does this mean President Obama will have to learn to txt/tweet. Lord knows, he can't do anything else, poor thing.

 

Which one is the "kook"? Or more to the point, which one is not the kook? The Republican 12-person debates (with podiums carefully arranged in a row) is merely a political version of the Radio City Rockettes. A kook in a line of kooks is difficult to identify. I'm gonna vote for the choreographer!

 

You mean those 'Americans'? You are right, despite all the flag waving of the Right Wing, they clearly cant stand ordinary Americans.

 

My god, you met one? Where? How in the world did you manage to meet an ordinary American? Are you going to lose your status as a liberal elite now?

 

So your friend Silicon Magician says anyone who works low paying labor jobs should move to Mexico because no one cares about them.. but I am the elite??

Please explain that to me.
