2012 republican presidential nominee IV: NEEDS MORE BOOING

She must have gone to the Sarah Palin school for question/answer deflection.

I came sort of close for voting for Santorum today - open primary! - but even as a spoiler I couldn't bear to do it.

cmon people this is a team effort

aw c'mon guys Romney's only funny when he's running scared. don't kill all the fun yet

fun is dead.

The former House speaker added, "If people on the left want to talk about talk show hosts, then everybody in the country should hold the president accountable when someone at his event says something that is utterly and terrible unacceptable as what Robert De Niro said.”

that could backfire for the right, huh?

noted talk show host robert de niro

We have to remember why we’re upset and what we’ve got to do to fix things.

ignore what ann romney says and zone in on the zen cool of this sentence

The latest data on Latino voter preferences, commissioned by Fox News no less, shows that Republicans are getting absolutely crushed among Latinos. Among the findings, 69.5 percent consider themselves Democrats or lean that way, while just 15.9 percent consider themselves Republican or lean that way.

And if the election were today:
Obama 70
Romney 14

Romney is so hated in the Latino community that he is actually underperforming among Latino Republicans! When the votes are counted, he will be lucky to clear 20 percent. THAT is how toxic the GOP and Romney are to Latinos right now.

More, from Kos.

ay carumba

caramba, you Republican.

lol

d'oh

thats a big dog youve got on the roof there congratulations

Ehh, I think the dogs are just the right size.

Reminded of seeing this on I-5 southbound a few weeks ago, where some dickhead had no problem with his puppy dog wandering round the truck bed unsecured whilst flying down the highway at 60 mph+

uggggghhhhhhhh

you wouldn't store a lawn mower or a bookshelf up there. Why the fuck do people do that with their animals?

I see more dead pets on the interstate than possums or armadillos. Feral animals mostly know better than to run across an interstate, especially one that's elevated. Pets have no choice.

literal smh

for real that image caused an upwelling of pity for rick santorum from me.

"Just think how much more robust and functional this iPad would be if it was made in America!"

I don't understand what is happening there at all

just imagine the santorum staffer dispatched to the nearest big box store to snap up an etch-a-sketch when that dumb quote came in over the transom

... is that an etch-a-sketch?

apple's really taken a dive since steve died huh

"In my day iPads looked like this, and they were made in America."

x-post!

Romney's campaign just needs to start making self-desparaging comments every day, just to fuck with Santorum.

"Haha, once this primary campaign's over, the Governor's just going to change his shape like brown play-doh and start fresh for the general election!"

One Week Later

Santorum: "Do you see THIS?" *holds out both hands covered in green slime*

"we're kind of like a slinky, just bending every which way, going down stairs, i mean..."

this is the most bemusing political race

Crusading against Etch-A-Sketch porn.

And if the election were today:
Obama 70
Romney 14

holy shit.

remember when folks were claiming that unlike the "black vote," the "latino vote" was up for grabs?

How does that compare to a generic democrat/generic republican type survey of Hispanic voters? I don't really know the political demographics that well.

remember when folks were claiming that unlike the "black vote," the "latino vote" was up for grabs?

I think there's a misconception/wishful thinking among the GOP that as long as the latino population agrees with the GOP about certain policies, they will ignore the GOP's unrepetant racism and (maybe! with the grace of God!) vote for them

here's your answer:

Among the findings, 69.5 percent consider themselves Democrats or lean that way, while just 15.9 percent consider themselves Republican or lean that way.

unless something dramatic happens, this election (meaning the general) is over.

and i'm ok w/ that.

clearly the GOP needs to push for immigration restrictions retroactive to 1972

just to annoy Morbz... was recently discussing the prospect/likelihood of Hillary running in '16. Biden's bound to be an uninspiring candidate, and it would seem like this would be her best opportunity. otoh, at that point would she be deemed too old? (eg older than Reagan was when he ran...?)

Newt Gingrich really missed out on his true calling as a prop comic imho

yah hillarys too old, has said as much herself

hmm in 2016 she'll be the same as Reagan was in '80

I'm not sure I would count her out if the political environment were right

she's said no a thousand times but who knows.
