And look, Bachmann has already gotten her tit caught in a wringer. She got a Cease and Desist order from Tom Petty for using "American Girl" in her campaign. What a knob.

And dead Michael Palin would have a better shot than Sarah Palin. Michael Palin isn't dead. Perhaps you were thinking of Graham Chapman. Michael Palin would undoubtedly do a better job than Sarah Palin, but for him to actually have a better shot would require amending the Constitution. I fear there's a better chance of Sarah the Stupid getting elected than there is of the Constitution being amended to allow a foreign born president, especially now that Ahnold has gotten his nuts caught in a wringer.

Buz old bean, I have no disillusion that you will modify your position based on evidence; you haven't yet so there's no reason suppose you will now. But just in case there's some other hateful bigot who might be open to considering evidence, here's some:
Gen. James F. Amos, the current Commandant of the Marines, is thrilled with how the transition to allowing gays to serve openly is going. He toured the Gulf and fielded questions from troops in a series of "town hall" style meetings and didn't hear one single complaint about the new policy. Not one. This doesn't sound like repulsion and demoralization to me, but then, I'm not a bigot.Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate ...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist

That's right, when you see evidence that disagrees with your world view, the first thing you have to do is discount it. Well done. Keep working that lock step and everything will be fine.
BTW, try reading the article before knee-jerking, m'kay?Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate ...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist

And you take a lot upon yourself to decide what my opinion is regarding gays, in the military or out.

It's hardly a secret that you're conservative. Most people who consider themselves conservative are against gays in the military. Many are maintaining that position and ignoring the fact that there don't appear to be any problems as a result of the policy change. I offered evidence to support the contention that the transition is going well. Your response strongly suggested that you didn't even read the article that I linked. Instead, you seemed to downplay the significance of the evidence. From these facts, I believe it was a reasonable tentative conclusion that you are against gays in the military.
I will take your claim at face value and accept that you do not oppose gays in the military. My tentative conclusion was in error. If you feel that one must eat crow every time one comes to a tentative but erroneous conclusion, I can understand why you think I should have some on my plate. However, I've just finished a delicious dinner that my better half prepared, so shall decline, but will admit I made a mistake. Now, with all that having been said, how likely do you think it is that Buz will change his position based on the evidence?Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate ...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist

It's highly unusual for a sitting President to get a serious challenge in the primary from another candidate of the same party, but it does happen. This year, there is nobody that I am aware that is running any kind of challenge to Obama as the Dimwitcrat nominee. Thus, while technically there are Dimwitcrat primary elections running concurrently with the Repugnantcans, they are one horse races and entirely unimportant.

You are correct. I was answering the question only from the Presidential perspective, but there certainly are many state and local races where both parties' nomination are up for grabs.

Losing or letting go of falsified beliefs is a good thing, isn't it? Isn't that what a good education is all about?

One suggestion I've heard is that the Repugnantcan party is so unhappy with the prospect of Romney being the candidate that the others are staying in the race to deny him the necessary delegates to win the nomination in the hopes that a brokered convention would produce someone else. That makes as much sense to me as anything else to explain why any of them besides Romney are still in.
