The guy from Ohio is the only one I could stomach if I had to. I would probably be able to stomach Jeb except that I hate his brother so much. According to the scores on political ideology Jeb should be my favorite of the Republicans.

But I can't do another Bush.

I'll take Hillary or Sanders. I like Sander's ideals, but I wonder how much he could actually get done. I may view him the way I view libertarians... "looks good on paper" but when you start to look at the practicalities of codifying the ideas without problems... it won't work.

Do you mean Kasich? I like him but he's getting NO traction...too sane, I guess.

46063. iiibbb - 10/27/2015 10:17:45 PM

Kasich had the integrity to accept the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage even though he doesn't agree with it.

But fundamentally, I wouldn't vote for him over Clinton or Sanders because I don't agree with his politics.

But he's the only honorable candidate on the Republican side based solely on that datapoint.

I agree...he seems to be more qualified for the job...as opposed to the ones who know nothing about politics but seem to be preferred by idiot Republicans who think people don't even need to know what the job requires or even what the Constitution SAYS....are you kidding me?

Who ARE these people? If you want someone who is clueless, chance are YOU are, too.

46065. judithathome - 10/28/2015 8:51:55 PM

"Our boy" Kasich told it like it is yesterday and rather than being viewed as honest and speaking truth to power, the Trumpists and Carsonites are calling HIM crazy...go figure.

Even Lindsay Graham is bewildered by these fans of two certified idiots..."How am I losin' to these guys??"

How, indeed....

I'm going to have to rethink my Fiorina as veep prediction. I'm watching the debate and she talks and moves like a straight up freak. A super freak.

The new hairdo is not helpful.

46068. judithathome - 10/29/2015 7:14:50 PM

It certainly hasn't "softened" her look.

However, after seeing her work a pair of low-waist Levis in Iowa...the lady has a nice body for her age!

46069. iiibbb - 10/30/2015 4:56:31 PM

How on earth is Sanders being pegged as anti-Black and anti-woman?

He may be uncouth, but ffs.

Animal Farm.

That being said...any moron who says they're not voting for Hilary to punish her for some fringe minions of her calling Bernie sexist are fucking idiots. If they would allow one of these Republican numbnuts decide the next 2 SCOTUS justices _and_ essentially give control of congress and the presidency to the Republicans in order to punish Hilary.

I guarantee you that Hilary is not going to suffer one little bit.

___ this rant brought to you by some dumbshit internet meme I just read____

46071. arkymalarky - 10/30/2015 6:37:33 PM

That's Republicans trolls in a lame effort to foment strife. Won't work.

46072. arkymalarky - 10/30/2015 6:38:30 PM

That's like the whole PUMA thing in 08.

46073. iiibbb - 10/30/2015 7:10:30 PM

I think there are fringe voters out there who really think that they're punishing a candidate by not participating.

46074. iiibbb - 10/30/2015 7:10:54 PM

Some are trolls, but some are serious.

46075. judithathome - 10/31/2015 5:19:46 PM

And you can bet your ASS that if Hillary loses to a Republican nominee, and we get white-sheeted idiots on the Supreme Court, THESE nut jobs will be screaming the loudest..."How could this happen?"

How, indeed! It will be difficult enough to get even a moderate justice passed the Republican controlled Congress.

46076. robertjayb - 11/5/2015 10:16:44 PM

Ah, yes. PUMAS: Party Unity My Ass. Early birthers I believe.

For some grins and groans on Dr. Carson. See Juanita Jean at The world's most dangerous beauty salon.

Ben Carson has released a radio ad that is a RAP....refresh my memory: did Obama ever release a rap ad?

I followed Obama's campaign pretty closely and I don't recall him doing so...because if he HAD, people would have gone ballistic...Carson does this and everyone thinks he's "cool"...go figure.

This is a man who threw a rock at a classmate in grade school and broke the kids glasses...pulled a knife on a classmate when he was a teen and only avoided injuring (or killing!) the kid because of a belt buckle...and hit his mother in the head with a hammer...but because this violent young man found GOD, he is forgiven by a majority of Republicans for his misdeeds...

President Obama had the audacity to become a community organizer and he is damned to hell forever by Republicans for doing so...

These stories about Carson's violent past are either extremely disturbing or lies...because he has yet to have anyone step forward to verify them...but in any case, it ALL sounds batshit CRAZY.

46078. judithathome - 11/6/2015 12:57:30 AM

You know, I used to joke about starting the Apathy Party but decided "Why bother?"...but now, I think the Republicans have co-opted my idea....

The fact the guy who thinks Joseph built the pyramids in Egypt as grain silos and is actually admitting to that belief in interviews with the media is actually leading in the polls is proof to me that Republicans have just thrown in the towel on being taken seriously...trust me, when Carson is making Trump look like a viable option...the country is in trouble.

I'm almost afraid to walk among those who find this man an actual option to lead this country...politics today seem more and more like a Peter Sellers movie.

Community organizers rock. I know because I was one! Love the Juanita website Robert, thanks for sharing. I've never heard of it.
