How long are we talking? 9 days? 11 days?

I saw him last a little after 9:00. I think it was close to 9:11.

Generation_D: Rudy is liberal like a Freeper is a reasoned, intelligent contributor to online discourse.


Read TFA.

The AP writer is breathlessly cheering on John McCain, not Rudy. Liberals (including AP 'journalists') hate Rudy and they desperately want a McCain or Huckabee nomination.

Why would they? If you want the Republicans to get crushed in November, by all means, nominate Rudy. The long Presidential campaign season has really worked against him in this regard: the longer this goes on, the clearer it is that all he's got, all he can do, is keep repeating "9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11" over and over, and he can give no better reason why he should be President.

Rudy would not be a bad candidate if he had workable policy proposals to go along with his '9/11' answer to almost any question. The problem is that he treats everything like a crime problem. Not only that, but he thinks that tracking databases are the solution to that problem. Things like BorderStat, TerrorStat, and ReadyStat are atrocious propositions, especially from the side of the aisle that claims to own the 'small government' mindset.

Purple_Jack: How long are we talking? 9 days? 11 days?

Dammit Purp!

Would anyone bother to look for him?

They are afraid that Rudy can win.

Madness, indeed.

How's Rudeboy's rope-a-dope strategy going there, Freeps?

Has he lulled the other candidates into a false sense of security yet?

LulZ aplenty in yer postage, btw.

"False sense of security" should be Ghouliani's campaign platform.

not sure what's worse. That pathetic trolling has come to be the gold standard for humor on fark, or that idiots actually fall for the trolling attempts by a guy with the username "freeper madness" and think he's serious.

"Hello, Missing Persons? Yes, I'd like to report someone missing. Kinda short, Italian, used to be Mayor of New York City, goes by the name of Rudy. Yeah, no one seems to have seen or heard from him in days."




He's probably just chilling at La Cage Aux Folles.

He was outed as Hellbent_for_Leather/Afternoon_Delight/Mighty_Dog by Churchill2004. Just so you know who we're dealing with here.

Good. This guy is absolutely the worst candidate running

We're headed toward the first contested nomination at the convention in a couple of generations, for several reasons:

** Because too many Republicans won't back McCain, due to their racially tinged desire to punish illegal immigrants already ingrained into the country. (Turn on L.A. talk radio at any moment you'd like and you'll hear what I mean.) Because McCain doesn't just pander to them and tell them what they want to hear. Because he attempts to work with evil boogeymen like Ted Kennedy and Russ Feingold to get things done when compromise on key issues is within reach. The guy's got the same conservative ranking as Orrin Hatch when you actually look at his votes, but don't bother sharing that inconvenient truth with Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and their minions.

** Because the farther-right wing appears to be moving into the Romney camp, and that will leave the closer-to-the-center folks behind, who see Romney for the principle-free shape-shifter he clearly is. A Romney nomination guarantees President Hillary Clinton, because if the choices are Romney and Clinton, Bloomberg will certainly run, and normally Republican voters will flock to him because they have no other realistic choice.

** Because Fred Thompson is done, and Mike Huckabee's not trustable by the Republican party and doesn't seem to have the bona fides;

** Because Rudy Guiliani's popularity plummets the more people get to know him and hear from him (though he's calling that his 'not playing until Florida' strategy. He's not playing until Florida because he couldn't compete in the first several states, and there's no way to spin that as a positive thing.

And even with the nasty turn the Democratic race has taken, I don't think that any of the Democratic candidates really split up the party the way the Republican party might. I guess Obama is bringing in some new voters who might not stick around to vote for Clinton or Edwards, but I don't think that most Obama voters would absolutely refuse to vote for Clinton the same way that I see a lot of, say, Huckabee voters refusing to vote for McCain.

I think the Republicans are heading for an assbeating of historic proportions in November.

Goodbye Rudy, you exploitative asshole.

And I'd add that I agree with you totally that a Bloomberg campaign hurts the Republicans far more than it hurts the Democrats.

I think a real assbeating would be good for the Republican party, though. I think they all see that a political platform that ditches the social issues shiat and just focuses on things like a strong military, low taxes, etc. would win. I mean, look at Schwarzenegger in California. But they've become so co-dependent on the "religious right" that they have to load their platforms down with all kinds of junk that's unpalatable to many voters.

Or they get a candidate who's viable, like a Mitt Romney, and then fark up his campaign by forcing him to contradict himself over and over and look like a flip-flopping douche to play to the "religious right".

To be fair, a number of other people recognized who he was basically as soon as he started posting with the new alt. Plus, he was hilariously ignored in the Democratic debate thread, which was awesome (him being ignored I mean).

Thnx Rain.

Freeper:

Its not about who anyone "wants to win"

Its about a tiny minority's perceived obsession with this big bad "liberal media" that is out to get them.

Oh, and by the way, did not your side in this ridiculous debate just give us 8 years of falsehood, corruption, incompetence and failure?

Get back under your rock. Your views as a Freeper are completely discredited and you have lost the moderates that helped put you in power.

And while we're on the subject of a failed war, shouldn't you be actually out fighting for what your side said it believed in when it started the Iraq war? Why are you here when you could be enlisting and serving, Internet Tough Guy ?

You mean actually stand up for what you say you believe in and do something besides leaving that 5+ year old yellow ribbon on the back of your car? This is madness.

Dumb. Do you actively participate in every political movement you believe in?

Generation_D: shouldn't you be actually out fighting for what your side said it believed in when it started the Iraq war?

I completely disagreed with going into Iraq, but honestly that's one of the most disingenuous arguments people make.

You never heard that argument when we went into Afghanistan. Yet the same people who insist the other side should go fight now didn't bother to do so themselves then.

Secret underwear keeps you from blowing your wad. Who'da thunk it?

I can't imagine how terrifying it is to be a Republican. You're fearful by definition. You have your trusted leaders fanning the flames, and you're aware of the inevitable loss in November.

Dear Jerk: I can't imagine how terrifying it is to be a Republican. You're fearful by definition. You have your trusted leaders fanning the flames, and you're aware of the inevitable loss in November.

Care to make a wager on that? Remember when the Democrats lost last time. but now their top candidates are a Woman and a Black guy. I have little hope that America is ready for either of those choices. Obama has the best chance but when you take away the media hype and distorted poll numbers, good luck. As for Hillary, Republicans will come out of nowhere just to vote against her.

The Republicans have to be careful though because a mistake in choosing a candidate will ruin voter turnout and give the Democrats a victory. (obvious i know)

Personally I don't like anyone on either side. But I wish the best to the eventual victor because its going to be tough.
