I honestly don't see how any of the republican candidates think they can realistically run. Even if I was a republican, which I actually am still registered as, I'd still think all of these people are either too bat shiat crazy or too hypocritical in what they say vs what they do to be a viable candidate for HOA president much less leader of the free world and holder of the launch codes.

I thank God that Michele isn't serious about running for President and that she's just pulling a Sarah Palin.

/I love it when Republicans waste their money buying Bachmann books and contributing to her campaign.

Is this where I express surprise?

AirForceVet: I thank God that Michele isn't serious about running for President and that she's just pulling a Sarah Palin.

Maybe it's time that I announce that I am running.

Dusk-You-n-Me: See also: Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich.

But I bet you their "campaigns" helped them each sell some books. Much like Ms. Bachmann.

Pffft. That just means she's going to hire illegal immigrants and pay them under the table.

do you have a book to sell?

Xaxor: Is this where I express surprise?

Color me surprised as well. To think that folks might consider a run for the Presidency as an opportunity for free press, whuddathunkit?

Well duh. She just wants handouts due to her sense of entitlement to support a lifestyle beyond her normal means.

At this point, I do not.

Maybe I could come up with something.

shivashakti: Like she had a chance of winning the primary anyway...

Some in the Idiot Brigade thought she might.

Or at least they were willing to cheer her spout crazy. She is a TEA Party cheerleader afterall...

Osomatic: But I bet you their "campaigns" helped them each sell some books. Much like Ms. Bachmann.

That was the entire point for most of these candidates. Every campaign stop, speech, town hall, not to mention nationally televised debate, results in cash-money-dolla-dolla-bill-ya'll donation$. Throw in PACs that have no transparency and they're making all sorts of bank. Millions of dollars for a couple months of slogging. Not bad work if you can get it. And these candidates prove the bar is quite low for getting that work.

lilstonehenj: so first Palin does this, now Bachmann...

Maybe it's just a clever plan by the republicans to tarnish the image of a "Female president" so badly one will not be elected in the foreseeable future?

Margaret Chase Smith was the first woman to be put on the primary ticket for the Republicans. I would pay good money to see Olympia Snowe run, and put some time and effort into her campaign too.

There are good women in the party, and yet, the Idiot Brigade wants to see the craziest and most ineffectual spout on to make themselves feel better, but not actually support candidates who are not just viable, but good for the country. Which, perhaps, helps them sleep at night, but in the end, they're not looking for good women for office, but cheerleaders who will say the right things.

And that makes me sad. Because there are good women in the party...

And there were lamentations and gnashing of teeth.

Britney Spear's Speculum: Palin was the large practice butt plug for the smaller Bachmann and Perry practice butt plug both of which are the larger practice buttplugs for the smaller Gingrich real buttplug Basically they were used to make Gingrich look sane.

Cain was completely unexpected.

A whipping boy, of sorts. But he was more than Able.

Nadie_AZ: And there were lamentations and gnashing of teeth.

Yes, every night when Michelle tries to get Marcus under the sheets.

Dammmn...

I might think about running for President. I make pretty good pizza, I can put my makeup on with a trowel if needed, and I am an excellent public speaker. How much cash we talking?

Churchy LaFemme: There will be no Mrs. President Crazy-eyes

Oh, I don't know... Put a little base and mascara on there and I think he'll pretty up FABULOUSLY.

So wha happens if she some how upsets the others and wins the nomination?

Newsflash: None of these clowns have even half a chance at beating Obama. Hence why the frontrunners are all nothing but terrible people who are hungry for exposure.

Ed Finnerty: Pffft. That just means she's going to hire illegal immigrants and pay them under the table strangle them in the shower.

Always have to bring color into the discussion, eh?

I am part Nihonjin. We are some racist mofos, don't you know...

Corvus: I have a question. You used to be a Republican, what made you no longer want to vote for them?

Not sure exactly but it was definitely Dubya's reign that sealed it. The republicans weren't always batshiat insane.
