I'd vote for that.

Religious nutjob/Religious nutjob '08!!!! I hope so.

Huckabroad?

Who will be in the cabinet?

TexasPeace: Who will be in the cabinet?

RON PAUL! That's who and he'll be Secretary of State and if anyone tries to pull any crap he'll go over there and singlehandedly defeat the whole enemy country. Kim Jong Il of North Korea is already crapping his pants.

Guess I'll be voting for Mickey Mouse. No way I'm voting for a FairTax™ nutjob.

SpeshilEdjukashin: Guess I'll be voting for Mickey Mouse. No way I'm voting for a FairTax™ nutjob.
Yes we wouldn't want a fair tax system.

That's your major complaint?

I guess you are a nutjob too

Oh, please, sweet merciful Jebus make this true! I truly believe that Mike Huckabee is a decent man, but he's not presidential in the least. Palin? BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! We've had enough retards to last us for the rest of the 21st Century, thankyouverymuch.

Go for it, GOP (Group Of Pricks)! We will not have seen such a humiliating defeat from an opposition party since Mondale.

I'm gonna party like it's 1984.

We'll laugh and welcome their nomination, then grow scared as they close in the polls, then breathe a sigh of relief once they lose to The Obama.

/my honest prediction

bqad720: Religious nutjob/Religious nutjob '08!!!! I hope so.

Or '12 even.

Taking an unfair tax system and calling it FairTax™
does not a fair tax system make. I call it the
"stop taxing the rich and tax the poor instead"
proposal, and Huckabee is an idiot for supporting it.

I_Love_Verdi: We'll laugh and welcome their nomination, then grow scared as the MSM sells the narrative that they are closing in the polls in an attempt to stay relevant over an entire election cycle, then breathe a sigh of relief once they lose to The Obama.

FTFY. See: 2008.

Running this ticket equates to sticking to your guns even when they've been turned straight at your face.

If the entire party ditched the social conservatives, religious fundamentalists, bigots and warmongers then concentrated on reducing the size of the feredal government in non-essential areas they would win in a landslide.

This is why it's a great idea to blindly support your precious team no matter what. that way they get used to doing whatever they want and by the time you realize that you don't like where they're going it's too late.

Great job, guys. Be proud of what you helped build.

It is vital, and I mean vital that they win. Look at how the Bush administration farkups stigmatized the Republican party. Now imagine Huckabee and Palin farking up a thousand times worse, their candidacy having been built entirely on their appeal to Christian nationalists.

Naziism was only permanently discredited after the world saw what they did with power once they got it. Of course it was not worth the terrible cost, but at least they will never again achieve power in any civilized nation. Likewise the only way I think that Christian Nationalism can be strangled in the crib is if the American public is given a taste of what it really entails in the form of a 4 year Huckabee/Palin term.

Zamboro: Likewise the only way I think that Christian Nationalism can be strangled in the crib is if the American public is given a taste of what it really entails in the form of a 4 year Huckabee/Palin term.

Wrong.

The way to strangle Christian Nationalism in its crib is to PREVENT 4 years of Huck/Palin.

King Something: The way to strangle Christian Nationalism in its crib is to PREVENT 4 years of Huck/Palin.

I gotta agree here.

Absolutely nothing.

feckingmorons: SpeshilEdjukashin: Guess I'll be voting for Mickey Mouse. No way I'm voting for a FairTax™ nutjob.
Yes we wouldn't want a fair tax system.

I could name a proposal to castrate every male the "Peace At Home Act." You aren't against peace at home are you?

King Something: Wrong.

The way to strangle Christian Nationalism in its crib is to PREVENT 4 years of Huck/Palin.

I'd instead say that the way for "Christian" Nationalism to be halted in its tracks is for the red letter Christians to go and counteract the vile twisting of the faith required to turn Christianity into a militant wank fest for the rich and powerful.

Fair Tax is hovering on the same level as Intelligent Design for completely misleading statements.

As a liberal, I'd like to begin donating the maximum allowable amount to their ticket right now. I want to do anything I can to ensure this is the ticket the Republicans run in 2012.

Why not? She's already torpedoed one guy's chances...

Sad thing?

40% of the vote, easy.

Social conservatism is the tinfoil hat that Republicans wear to keep reality out of their heads.

/my honest prediction

as big of a joke as both of them are, I wouldn't completely laugh at the possibility of that ticket and the probability of it winning. shiat, we're still talking about Palin. Granted, yeah, it's still fun to mock her, but by that measure, she should've completely faded away by now.


Thankfully, Obama would have to be a serious, sub-GWB fark-up for them to pull off a victory.

The slogan they could use is "Dumb and Dumber" and use the theme music from the movie, (which I did not see, but I assume there was theme music), for the theme song of thier campagin.

Or maybe it should be DUMBEST AND DUMERER!

you are the one who is the ball licker

My guess... Republicans know they won't beat Obama in 2012 and are going to throw those two "under the bus"... so to speak.

feckingmorons: SpeshilEdjukashin: Guess I'll be voting for Mickey Mouse. No way I'm voting for a FairTax™ nutjob.

If they label it Fair Tax it must be fair! I mean, the word is in the name!

I have no idea why I hold on to my Republican registration.

I guess it would be like if Ferrari were bought by Pontiac. In the years after the purchase, Pontiac would only slowly erode the overall quality of the Ferrari brand. Regardless, people would still look at the Ferrari name and say, "Well, Pontiac owns them NOW; but they used to be the most sought after cars. Maybe someday Ferrari will strike-out on its own again."

In my scenario, at what point does that optimism/denial finally die/set-in?

PoopStain: Everybody inside the Bush Administration pushing for the Iraq war was liberal,

Wait, what? do you know what the word "liberal" means?

If that's the case, I think running this Republican ticket is something both sides can agree on.

The sad thing is I can see an electoral victory, need to keep in mind that the map is reweighted in 2010.

Um, at what point were the Republicans the equivalent of Ferrari? Under the crook Reagan? During the Harding/Coolridge/Hoover parade of losers?

or are you talking so far back in the past (Teddy? Lincoln?) that the party bears no similarities at all except the name?

Gunther: PoopStain: Everybody inside the Bush Administration pushing for the Iraq war was liberal,

Wait, what? do you know what the word "liberal" means?

Words don't have any meaning to conservatives like poopstain. Their definitions change daily to fit whatever argument they want to make.

deltabourne: Sad thing?

40% of the vote, easy.

You could pull a scarecrow out of a cornfield, stick a Republican button on it, and it'd still get 40% of the vote.

Same is true for putting a Democratic button on it. People vote party lines more than they vote candidates.

Gunther: PoopStain: Everybody inside the Bush Administration pushing for the Iraq war was liberal,

Wait, what? do you know what the word "liberal" means?

I think he's talking of the neo-liberal re-branding that gave us the neo-cons.

margarito bandito: The sad thing is I can see an electoral victory, need to keep in mind that the map is reweighted in 2010.

Isn't the population shift away from rural toward urban areas though? Giving traditional dem stronghold states great population and thus electoral power?

The only thing the GOP should be planning on winning is a kick in the face.

RalphDClark:

Fiat owns Ferrari. Not sure how that could be worse than Pontiac.

Bill Frist: Gunther: PoopStain: Everybody inside the Bush Administration pushing for the Iraq war was liberal,

Oh, if he was putting blame on progressive liberals, then I retract my last comment.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
-Albert Einstein

Republicans seem dead set on proving correct yet another one of Einstein's theories.

PoopStain: an ironic proof to my point.

you still don't seem to have a clue what the word "conservative" means...

Every single Evangelical in the country would come out and vote for them. So...they'd get about 35 percent.

You're an angry person. That's too bad. Just because we presumably disagree about politics doesn't mean you can't take a lighthearted look at my prior post. And to answer your question, if we look to the American "model" Republicans, I like Harding, Goldwater, and Paul. Yes, they were flawed. Like many other presidents, they were human. But I generally like the idea of restricted, noninterventionist federal government. Above all, I'd say my appeal for Republicanism relates to the governmental model that it encapsulates (an elected few represent their respective STATES at the national level).

Words don't have any meaning to conservatives like poopstain. Their definitions change daily to fit whatever argument they want to make.

Furthermore, perhaps (and I could be wrong) not every conservative/Republican changes definitions to suit their purposes

PoopStain: Everybody inside the Bush Administration pushing for the Iraq war was liberal

Cheney and Rumsfeld are liberals now?
