2012 republican presidential nominee IV: NEEDS MORE BOOING

maher didnt defend rushes statements so much as be all he apologized lets move on ok but w/e yes he is horrible

Found this piece interesting:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/03/11/david-frum-mike-huckabee-brings-on-rush-limbaugh-s-decline.html?obref=obinsite

On one of the old Republican threads I said I didn't mind Huckabee, but didn't get much agreement.

Celebrity apologies sound nothing like honest apologies, so defending a celebrity apology as perfectly adequate just underlines what a sleazeball you must be.

Maher's comments are about as bad as loathsome as you would expect

interesting article clemenza - the stuff about why some of Limbaugh's advertisers were willing to bolt this time around was illuminating

lol, given a choice between Limbaugh and Huckabee, yes I am going to pick Huckabee 100% of the time

this doesn't actually mean I like Huckabee

Huck filled in after Paul Harvey officially died and I was none too impressed.

Seems like Republican Radio will have its choice between Gomer and Gozer. I know who I'd pick if I was an even angrier white male.

lol, given a choice between Limbaugh and Huckabee, yes I am going to pick Huckabee 100% of the time

Limbaugh can't play a bass solo to save his life

If Huck opens his new radio show with a live performance of him jamming on "My City Was Gone", then I'll take back every mean thing I've ever said about that hound dog-looking motherfucker.

huckabee has got the carson daly my-diet-has-made-me-look-like-death thing going on.

Repeating myself again, but the thing Huckabee did that I liked was defend Obama in 2008 during the Wright pile-on--he had (from his perspective) every reason not to, and I don't think it was an insignificant gesture. I don't want to overstate his case, though. I can't remember specifics, but there was some incident earlier this year, or maybe last year, where he took the predictably easy way out.

Meantime:

My theory on this is that people really fucking hate ads in particular, so I'm not sure how this is going to help anyway.

I guess I should go vote today...apparently there's some push to get Obama more votes in the Dem primary than the winner gets in the Republican primuhzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting the president’s re-election, will report $2 million in February donations, group officials said, including $1 million from the television host Bill Maher.

rmde

is MS an open primary? haven't voted there since 1996

also Romney is apparently out-polling Santorum there? cRaZy/

Meaning, can I vote in the Republican primary if I want? I believe so.

VOTE SANTO PLZ U HAVE TO

^^otm

Santo's advertising would be much better like this:

Couldn't bring myself to walk the two blocks to my polling place to cast a ballot for any of these yahoos.

^^^hates america

love and hate would both be way too strong -- how about "is not really enthused by"

So what's going on? Romney is getting pasted or...?

3rd place in both states, but the margins aren't huge.

Santorum projected to win Alabama; leads in MS

Romney might crack 30% in MS, which is kind of win?

Romney making statements about how Santorum is at the "desperate end" of his campaign, and Trump is calling for S to get out of the race (ha). Don't think these guys realize that that kind of stuff is EXACTLY what will get Santorum's base fired up to go out and vote for him - - - the insiders and the MEDIA are telling you your vote doesn't count and you should just stay home and let Mitt Romney win already! etc.

Anyone care to read this?

Santo the Amazing projected to win Mississippi.

I honestly don't know what would make dead white Mississippians like my father and father-in-law spin in their graves faster -- the country electing a black man President in 2008, or Mississippi Republicans voting for a Catholic nominee this year.

Rick Santorum Relieved No One Has Asked Him About Interracial Marriage Yet

lol. interracial marriage still a huge problem in the South, not even among out-and-out racists. I have good friends who are irked by the notion because they're all raised to believe the Bible says it shouldn't be done.

lol @ Romney barnstorming the Delta. ANYTHING to get that black feller out of there. anything.

Newt killin it in AL's black belt though

The growth of mixed race marriages in the South

can't believe someone would tarnish the purity of their bloodline like that

Newt killin it in AL's black belt though

... among the Republicans living there

this election is shaping up to be the most frightening of evah.

Santo-rum, Santo-rum, Santo-rum...

most def. but i would've guessed that the same politics at play in the Delta (i.e. getting Obama OUT supersedes a vote for Jesus) would have translated to AL's bb.

though i guess if you're super-duper racist, Newt's definitely spit better game than the other two

SANTO!!

so has anyone pointed out th nick cage/santorum resemblance, particularly in how they speak? Drives me nuts whenever I catch a santorum speech, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

clemenza - someone released under Huck's "follow Jesus, and you get early parole for horrible shit" program was indirectly blamed for Maurice Clemens(?) for murdering several cops in Lakewood WA in 2010 I think. Huck's response was to just dismiss it. Is that what you're referring to?

I'll say this much: President Sarah Palin would literally send me looking for alternatives to citizenship. But something about a President Santorum, while equally frightening, is kind of intriguing. The country would be cast into this totally crazy culture war carnival atmosphere, 24/7. It'd be exhausting, and likely the end of us all, but it'd be a fun ride.

don't even joke dude

Whatever, GWB was equally craven and stupid as either of those people and he was President for 8 years. A lot of people said they'd leave the country; I actually did

Mackro -- it was this:

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/huckabee-questions-obama-birth-certificate-claims-he-was-raised-in-kenya/

After acquitting himself so well on Wright in 2008, that was disappointing/appalling.

Large swaths of GOP voters in Alabama and Miss want a ban on interracial marriages.

Huh just assumed that would also be a Onion article.

It is shit like that which actually gives me the creeps when it comes to America.
