And Roseanne Barr is 379 of them.

*rimshot*

Don't try the veal, it's horrible.

/Fat jokes are edgy like Poppin' Fresh.

and 379 of them have the same chances as RON PAUL!

I hope Vermin Supreme is still running. I like the cut of his jib.

Colbert's one of the 380 right*

*offer only valid in SC

Who cares who's running for President NOW when so many former Presidents publicly state from the Spirit World that the founder of the Washington Times is the Messiah?

Okay subby we are friends here so which one are you?

Four words to strike fear in the hearts of strong men and women -- RON PAUL Washington Times!

FTW?

StopLurkListen		2012-05-03 08:24:59 PM

"380", huh?

What's the atomic number of Californium? How many electoral votes did Barack Obama get in 2008? What's the Interstate numbering system for urban ring roads? What were the first three digits of Obama's home phone number? What is "380" converted from Metric to Imperial? How many letters in "OLIGARH"?

I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS HERE, PEOPLE.

Omahawg		2012-05-03 08:30:32 PM

baby, we were born to run

Uzzah		2012-05-03 08:35:29 PM

Is Mary Carey one of them? 'Cause I'd give her a campaign contribution, if you know what I mean.

I mean "with my penis."

Just wanted to make that clear. I wouldn't actually give her any money.

LucklessWonder		2012-05-03 08:38:30 PM

farkityfarker		2012-05-03 08:38:54 PM

I can't help but wonder how many of them would make a better president than the only two who have a chance of winning.

I would create a SuperPAC for that, Motorboating for America.

It does. It does indeed.

Very few. Americans like to fantasize that they would be just as good or better at hard jobs, and that something like the presidency "isn't that hard, just the people who do it suck". Newsflash: you would be a terrible president and so would most people you know.

But has it ever occurred to you that the only two who have a chance of winning have that chance because they're backed by corporate interests because they work for those interests as opposed to the interest of the people as a whole?

Newsflash for you: the only thing politicians are "great" at is getting elected. They are not economic experts. They don't need to know military strategy. They have little need for international finance. Given that their only appreciable skill is glad-handing, it's actually a dubious proposition that they are any better than a typical citizen when it comes to decision making.

Regardless of the absolutely massive loads of cash thrown at the candidates during the election, there is generally a vetting process in each party which does require, among other things, that the candidates go head to head with 5-10 other candidates, each of which do have a spectrum of opinions and ideas. That's not to say the media darlings don't generally win out, but I would say that the majority of my interests have been met by the Democratic party, even if both parties suck the cock of the entertainment industry and to some degree the financial industry.

Most of what Obama said he wanted to do he tried to do. That's not to say corporate interests don't have any sway in this country, but I think he's doing an OK job.

The harsh reality is that if you are in any way connected to pop culture, your interests are swayed every day by corporate America, whether you like it or not.

Isn't she the one who when asked why she didn't do anal in her films she said "Cos I like to poop... a lot"?

/Could have her confused with Jim Carrey there.

"two Libertarians"

Aw, that's adorable. They think they're a real party! They have signs and everything!

JosephFinn: Aw, that's adorable. They think they're a real party! They have signs and everything!

In the last election here in Illinois the Libertarian candidate for Senator was an old friend of mine from back when I was a kid. No, we don't see eye to eye on politics.

John Adams 2012!

I Made America

It's a webseries about the founding fathers being kidnapped by a SuperPAC and brought to 2012. Adams is still eligible for a second term so he's running this year.

/Saw him debate Vermin Supreme at an Occupy Chicago Rally
//Will vote for him this year because I live in Illinois so my vote doesn't matter

If a campaign falls in the middle of that forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Yes, and that sound is RON PAUL!
