curious why comedy central has to pay for greenlights but all day we get fed a constant diet of Zombiebart, American Stinker, World Nut Daily, "Reason".com...

hit piece is lame.

come on, you can do much better than that.

Is that a new website? I wasn't aware comedy central had a page just for Indecision.

Ah, biting satire.

It's a lost art.

Voiceofreason01: It would be kinda funny if Santorum won the nomination; if only to see the Republican party self destruct

No no no, they self destruct if Romney wins the nomination and loses. You think the tea partiers and crazies are out now you wait until a moderate loses to Obama and then brace yourself for the derp.

I don't think it matters who wins. Self-destruction is pretty much inevitable at this point.

So, vote Democrat.

FTFA: his closet rival, John Edwards

I was not aware Edwards was gay... I wonder if his wife/mistress(es) knew?

Voiceofreason01: It would be kinda funny if Santorum won the nomination; if only to see the Republican party self destruct

I think that happened sometime between 2008-10 (Palin was the beginning of the end). we're in the post-self-destruct mode now, just a lot of flailing about, like some dying shark on the seashore. be careful, it'll bite long after you think it's dead

/ although I like to call myself a conservative, the current spat of conservatives are more dangerous than the alternative, despite my philosophical disagreement with the alternative.
// thanks a lot conservative party, you lost my vote

"My sons are all adults and they've made decisions about their careers and they've chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard. One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president might throw another coupla hundred mill into their trust fund"

if you think back to 2008, Romney was the conservative alternative to John McCain, seen as too far to the right to win. That's how much the GOP has changed in the last four years. The "too-conservative" guy from four years ago is now the guy who is seen as too similar to the "socialist" in the white house.

TFA: presidential loser par excellence John Kerry.

You know, Kerry only lost the popular vote by 2.5% and the electoral vote by 35. Compare to McCain, who lost the popular vote by over 7% and the electoral vote by 192.

And Kerry had the disadvantage of running against a wartime incumbent president in a relatively good economy.

I think Kerry was a weak candidate overall, but he had a pretty strong showing, all things considered. Don't know why he is remembered as such a loser. There have been plenty of worse losers in presidential history.

I prefer my dailyshow in video form, not them thar ritten wurds

The real story is that the Mississippi GOP establishment backed Romney and provided their GOTV operation for him, and he still came in 3rd.

But in the end, the only thing that will matter is how well he can turnout GOP voters in Ohio and Florida, and if he can win back independents in those states.

That's what's so crazy about how we elect a President -- two states pretty much determine the whole thing (Pennsylvania isn't really a swing state anymore).

Its because of who his opponent was. Sure, by the numbers his performance really wasn't bad at all. In fact it was reasonably close. What makes it such a "oh damn, you LOST????" was his opponent was George W. Bush, Real American Genius.

"Dad" getting that gig is like the biggest, baddest gravy train they could ever possibly conceive of.

Were talking four or eight years of being sent around the world to random things; lots of pics, lots of handshakes, lots of connections. Even on their worst behavior they would have to be retarded to not be able to roll that into a successful business of their own.

Then after that, all bets are off. Were talking books, speaking tours, lobbying, the whole enchilada. They'll be able to build their own empire as big as the trust fund. They'd be designing the presidential library in their minds during the inauguration.

And even before he started the run for President those kids would be less likely to see combat than the ocean making it to Wyoming.

Brokered convention.....Please please please

[O]ne 2012 meme sorely in need of fact-checking is the awkward parallel often drawn between John Kerry's march and Mitt Romney's long and bumpy slog toward their parties' nominations... John Kerry didn't limp to the Democratic nomination. Nor did he struggle consolidating his base the way Romney has.



Agreed, he's a weaker candidate on the campaign trail but the rest of the comparison works.

Now, think about Kerry's negatives: wealthy, out-of-touch, 'flip-flopper,' kinda douchey. However, he did manage to avoid saying stuff to reinforce those things.

Romney is Kerry without self-awareness and a verbal filter. And he hands perfect sound bites to Obama's team at least twice a week.

There's no comparison. The whole Republican lineup is basically a clown posse.

Kerry was a contender, and probably had the election stolen from him by the Bush dynasty. Romney is a joke candidate, as are Gingrich, and Santorum. The people that shoved Bush in there twice have made it impossible for their man, Soebarkah, to lose, despite his obvious ineptitude.

Aside from all the other issues Kerry had. I've always found it to be pretty f*cked up that John Kerry, a child of privilege who volunteered to serve in Vietnam, in a combat role, was able to be tarred as less patriotic than the child of privilege who was able to skip the line to get into the Air National Guard, and then not show up...

What does that say about our political discourse in this country?

I almost wonder if t he GOP is intentionally putting forth bad candidates for President. So far, Obama has been a pretty good president for the GOP. He concedes to pretty much every demand they have and continued 99% of the policies of Bush Jr. The GOP gets everything they want, but they can blame everything bad that happens on the other party. It's a perfect situation for them. Why would they want to change it?

you obviously don't recognize and appreciate brilliant satire.

Maybe if you understood satire you'd think otherwise, but your other brain cell is pretty occupied with keeping you breathing right about now.

i never knew you were such a conniseure of fine satire.

Clearly you don't even know what satire is. And it's connoisseur. Using big words only makes you look smarter if you use them and spell them correctly.

I'm not sure what satire is myself but I thought the article would have been more satirical if it was about Kerry and Mondale aides praising Romney's strategy. Or talked about Romney employing the Kerry and Mondale strategies and tactics, etc. You get the point. The article, frankly, was not that subtle. "Romney can't close out Santorum, what a loser, ha ha ha"

Never mind that Kerry lost the presidency so touting his stellar primary performance seems irrelevant and the eventual Republican nominee will get trounced, but nothing like Mondale did.

I don't think Romney is as weak a general election candidate as he's being made out to be. Santorum's strength in the republican stronghold states is a poor indicator. Alabama and Mississippi are going to vote for the guy with the (R) next to his name in November whether that's Romney, Santorum, Satan or the Easter Bunny. Romney needs to be moderate enough to win the swing states. And he may be.

What I am hoping for is Santorum, emboldened by his showing in the primaries, runs as an inderpendent.
