This guy is going to win. McCain is now dickless in the eyes of Republican stalwarts for not being WHARGABLY enough in the last election.

Unless this guy is a total Joe the Plumber type asshole with a bunch of skeletons in his closet, he will win. And even if he is one of those aforementioned asshole, he still might win.

But you have to admit: He hasn't given up nearly as many state secrets to the enemy.

Good luck with that, crazy person.

The minutemen have a bad rep even in the red parts of CA, AZ, NM so the guy will have to have an uphill road to travel to break down that part of the smear campaign. If he's really ruthless, he can try to use McCain's daughter against him. Knowing how classy right-wing repubs are, I wouldn't doubt it.

D. Boon has been dead for almost 25 years so you must mean Mike Watt. Or George Hurley i suppose, but, he's just a drummer.

Being a Republican, probably the gay one.

McCain will be safe.

The primary challenge to McCain may further illustrate just how crazy the far right is.

I try to explain to my friends what conservative used to mean. They don't seem to understand that Republicans once upon a time did not have super gayness and flag burning as their number one priorities.

Conservatism doesn't exist in either major party anymore, and the Libertarians have too many nutjobs to go mainstream.

Minuteman to run for Senate

This should take how long?

I don't understand what this man's height has to do with anything. Also why does the headline not say what he was the founder of??

won't win in a million years. No matter how disappointed the republicans are in Mccain.

The real question is, who is going to get the Republican media attention...the Classic WHARGARBBLers or the Ultra Mega Double Magic WHARGARBBLers?

Check out his official website (new window). Do yourself a favor and watch the video. Particularly, his comments at 2:07 and 3:23. Just. Awesome.

I'm feeling damn good about Obama winning a second term, but for the moment, I can say without any reservation that these next few years are guaranteed to give us some of the best republican/neoconservative entertainment that we've seen in recent history.

Initially I thought that right wing entertainment reached it's peak shortly after the election, but I was wrong. It's like sweet, sweet manure that fertilized the soil of stupid, and nourished even better right wing foolishness that has grown from it as a result.

He is. I remember when he tried to run in my district back in 2005. He has ties to the National Alliance (white supremacist organization) and filed a bunch of nuisance lawsuits against his rivans until he was forced to pay their legal fees under the anti-SLAPP statute.

The guy is a nutter and won't be more than a sideshow.

But it's the "angry old white guy" and the "crazier younger white guy"

It's the new Republican primaries also know as "How crazy can you get?"

"I'll cut taxes to zero, shout every mexican that crosses the border and get rid of public schools!"

My predictions:

1) The GOP will continue to move further and further to the right
2) The majority opposing the GOP will continue to grow larger
3) The Glenn Beck/Sean Hannity worshipers will feel more and more powerless
4) Right-wing violence will increase in frequency over and above what we have already seen, starting with homosexuals and liberal churches, and moving on towards targeting minorities and, eventually, Jews.

p.s.: People who make predictions are morons.

that's shoot, not shout.

Sorry I forgot satirizing Republicans as supporting someone who will shoot Mexicans is not satire. It is actually the case.

I forgot Palin's Law: any satire will inevitably be surpassed in reality by the American right.

I don't think your predictions are out of line. The right continues to make fools of themselves. The teabagging and the secession talk is killing them.

EwoksSuck 2009-04-22 01:01:53 AM  
I can see the debate now.

Moderator: Gentlemen, President Obama has proposed higher fuel emission standards for automobiles sold in the United States. What is your view on this proposal?

McCain: My friends, I want to lower auto emissions. I have a plan to do it. A better plan than the President. One that I learned while I was a POW in small box in Vietnam. But first I want to bomb North Vietnam....I mean Iran but this guy doesn't want to let me! *points at Minuteman*.

Minuteman: We wouldn't need more fuel efficient cars if the illegal aliens would quit driving in America without illegal drivers licenses. Our roads would be two thirds empty of the horde of illegal aliens pouring over the border. If they were stopped at the border with a giant fence made of chicken wire and claymore mines American cars will be truly American and good again.

Moderator: Minuteman you get to answer the next question first. Do you think we should keep our troops in Afghanistan or should we pull out now?

Minuteman: Yes we should pull our troops out all over the world and put them on our southern border to stop the mass invasion of illegal immigrants into our country. There is an army of illegal aliens marching into America and we have to stop it by militarizing the border. Or else we will all be speaking Spanish soon and forced to eat local Mexican restaurants on a daily basis to prop up the Mexican economy!

McCain: That's crazy talk my friends. And I know crazy talk! If there is one thing I learned while living in a box as a POW in Vietnam is that if people want in your box...I mean your country they will get in. I think my friend over here doesn't understand...doesn't understand the principles of insurgent warfare. The Illegal Aliens will get a round a fence or an army at the border. They will parachute in. They will hijack our planes and fly into to our airports and make better landings than I did during my time in the Navy my friends. *AUDIENCE LAUGHS* I have the experience of how to prevent this my opponent does not. He's not geriatric. He's not lived in a box. I have.

Moderator: Can some one put me in a box please because it can't be worse than listening to these two idiots!?
