We are all Communists now.

The only people still afraid of the word "communist" are aging Boomers.

He also joked that his wife forbade him to pander to the party's far-right contingency ahead of Iowa's caucuses, which likely hurt him with conservative voters in the Hawkeye State.

"She said if you pandered, if you sign any of those damn pledges, I'll leave you," Huntsman said. "So I had to say I believe in science -- and people on stage look at you quizzically as though you're ... an oddball."


Smart woman.

If there's anyone in the GOP who knows about Communists, it's Huntsman.

/Seriously. I mean, that was his job in China, after all.

Mentat: The only people still afraid of the word "communist" are aging Boomers.

I had my 55-yo father tell me that we can't afford to trust the Russians, and we should be EXTREMELY afraid that Obama is willing to talk with them. When I rolled my eyes, he told me I was too young to remember the cold war.

That's a series of events that actually happened. Like two weeks ago.

Oh, and somehow he's under the impression that the "controversial" European missile defense system they keep talking about is actually OUR missile defense system. The one in this country. He somehow thinks, or someone told him, that Obama has agreed to put OUR missile defense system on the negotiating table.

My dad is an intelligent person. Until politics comes up. Then he becomes a retard.

DON'T YOU SEE? Only Reagen could go to China! It takes a strong Republican actor to be that close to the alluring mysteries of Communism without succumbing to their sensuous wile.

I don't trust the Russians either, but it's not because they're Communist. It's because their leader is an ex-KGB turned oligarch who poisons his enemies with polonium.

Communism, the other white meat

Communism, it's what's for dinner

Have you guys noticed that the Christian act of "Communion" sounds incredibly close to Communism?

putin should terrify anyone with a brain. and communism has almost nothing to do with it (other than he was trained under it).

You have to applaud the audacity. There was nothing subtle about it, and it's not like you can buy polonium at the drug store. That was one of the most "Yeah, I did it, so fark you" assassinations ever.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: f there's anyone in the GOP who knows about Communists, it's Huntsman.

And he's right---this is precisely what happens if you challenge Republican or Communist orthodoxy--they try to make you invisible.

Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Republican Party?

ANSWER ME NOW, GOVERNOR!!
 
2012-04-23 10:36:11 AM
Well, it has gotten too hard to prove that you love god more than anyone else, no matter how many facebook statuses you post.


Therefore the new thing is to prove how conservative you are. The purer the better.

Majick Thise: If you plan to eat your own you must first know how to cook your own... Republicans should be cooked well-done to kill off all the lethal toxins and poisons

That's where you've got it wrong. No degree of cooking can remove toxins and poisons. We just have to dispose of them as far away from the water table as possible - preferably Mars.
 
2012-04-23 11:01:43 AM
Both sides are closer to old school USSR Commies than the congress of the 1980s.

Yes yes but they are eating their own see and even though we both know you can't remove that much rancidness with any amount of cooking, they will believe me and all die of the explosive diarrhea they contract from the toxins/poisons that survived the cooking process.

So next time say this during the campaign, Jonny. It's a shiatload easier to snipe from the sidelines - why, some morons even pay five dollars a month for the privilege of doing so.

Just as well he's not the nominee and doesn't want to start a third party...He'd actually have a shot, but nobody wants ten thousand farkers stalking their daughters for the next four years.

that's still a Baby Boomer meme tho. the younger crowd doesn't really care about that. what younger people want is jobs....and they're watching their jobs bleed out of the country and move overseas.

Did anyone actually RTFA? Huntsman is saying the GOP is acting like Chinese Communists in that they pulled him from a fundraising event because they didn't like what he had to say.

Eating your own is not a viable political strategy in the long run.

Amazing that the mantra of huge short term gains at the expense of long term viability has permeated not just corporate culture but political culture as well.


//As if there is much difference between corporate and political culture these days...

You know, the communism thing makes sense in context. In the cold war era, lots of families had just hit the middle class. There was real fear there. You just finally got a house that you own. It belongs to you! Do you want the reds taking it away? You worked hard for that!

But now, the same threat holds no weight. What are they going to take away? Your $100,000 in student loan debt? Your unpaid internship? The chicken has been farked to death and they are still thrusting.

Wasn't there a Jesus guy who went around telling people how cool it would be to live in a communist society?

Millennials are truly not insulted or frightened by Socialism or Communism. Want to know why?

Because when we were still children, two giant airplanes destroyed two of the tallest buildings in the world in front of our very eyes ... live and in color. Because in the years after that we were told we were going to be killed by weapons of mass destruction, then following that we got throw into at least two wars. Our rights were stripped, our treasure taken, our debts quadrupled, our education doubled, our pay was cut, our jobs were taken and then we were told it was all happening to us because .... we're lazy.

So yea, tell me again, after everything our parents have done to us; just why the hell would I fear a Communist?

Smart? that's debateable, as those stances may have cost him dearly in the primaries and as Machiavelli noted, if you refuse to do something out of virtue, and evil men come to power thereby, was your act really virtuous?

OTOH you can say she is a committed and principled woman who demanded the man she love be true to himself no matter what. and women of that caliber are worth far more than an 8-year gig as president. He made the right choice.
