he definitely has more charisma than Newt or Huntsman and has a high IQ than Perry

Adding this one to the watch list...

I know, I know, it's serious...

And 3 pts ahead of Obama in the Obama vs Any Republican poll.

Welfare Xmas: And 3 pts ahead of Obama in the Obama vs Any Republican poll.

I didn't see anything in the article about that. Got a source?

finally, a Republican candidate who you don't have to be afraid to admit you like.

"I like Ron Paul's policy ideas," said mechanic Michael Owens of Glassboro, NJ, "But I want to vote for someone who realistically has a better shot at actually winning, like this guy in the coma."

I laughed.

The facebook link was awesome.

He can't possibly do any more harm than anyone else in the office so far.

He sounds promising, but article didn't mention if he was christian or if he believes we are Taxed Enough Already.

You do understand the difference between "Obama vs. Generic Republican" and "Obama vs. Any Republican" are not even remotely close to being the same thing and you just pretend they were.

I love good satire.
 
2011-10-18 07:29:23 PM
I'm perplexed...
Don't know if I should vote for this guy or zombie Reagan?.
Would have voted for Terri Schiavo over most GOP candidates!

His campaign commercial.


That being said, he doesn't appear to be in an actual coma. Usually comas are marked by a stereotypical body posturing, and often involuntary movements. Additionally, patients in extended comas tend to show wasting of the skeletal muscles. I think it's possible that this is hoax or some other misunderstanding. That said, I hope John Clarkson the best in his struggle to make America great again!

I would vote for him. Manchurian candidate or not.

Skleenar: I think it's possible that this is hoax or some other misunderstanding.

Crap, there goes another GOP frontrunner. Wait, no, being a joke hasn't stopped any of the other candidates.

Hey, if the guy can utter even one more syllable than "um," he's already better than Obama.

COMA GUY 2012!!
 
2011-10-18 07:38:27 PM
somewhere out there, there's a Romney supporter saying

"Polls don't matter!"

Why Would I Read the Article: Hey, if the guy can utter even one more syllable than "um," he's already better than Obama.

COMA GUY 2012!!


The dude's on a heart-o-prompter. He can't even beat his heart without assistance. I mean, sure, that's still better than Obama, but do we really want a GOP candidate whose heart actually functions, even if only by external stimulation?

Puts him one step ahead of Cheney.

You mean like terrified, fleeing orphans?

Hit a lot of the points pretty damn well.

Onion Law states that it will become true one day. I bet it will happen with a Republican will lapse in and out of a full coma during a debate or on election night before winning.

wooooooow.
lol.

Well, to be fair, he probably can't say how many houses he owns, or how many hundred of millions he has in the bank, either.

Nice!

Why do I have feeling I'll be seeing more of this?

Article is win...especially that picture. The picture is pure gold.

Meh. I'm hoping Steven Colbert drops his hat in the ring again.
 
2011-10-19 02:03:52 AM
But how's he polling against the NOBAMA sign?
 
2011-10-19 08:58:49 AM
The vegetable isn't actively working for the downfall of the working class, middle class, and poor.
 
2011-10-19 10:45:28 AM
Probably would be the best damned POTUS since Lincoln.
 
2011-10-19 01:23:23 PM
At least he hasn't said anything stupid.
 
2011-10-19 07:16:38 PM
Bad news. There's now a sex scandal. He's withdrawing from the race for receiving oral sex from an unattractive nurse (new window)
