Oh No, The New Awesome Primary Thread

I agree this is pretty messed up, but the most totally fucked up part is after putting up with the stupidity of primaries and finally a national election, we have the electoral count that chooses the president instead of total votes.No wonder only idiots and narcissist psychotics run.

I disagree.

Maybe Jon Stewart will stay......

You do realize that it was Bush/Cheney who fucked the world economy and stole $4TRILLION from the American people in 2 wars....right?And then you have the balls to call Obama the worst president?You're the conspiracy freak, right?

He doesn't make them look stupider, he's just funnier to watch. The GOP is already a clown car full of stupid. The line-up really is from the very bottom of the barrel of America when you consider intellect, education, honesty, integrity, compassion, empathy, and character.They are an embarrassment to America and the human race.

I have watched Kasich since his career began and I disagree with his fundamental views on everything. I am partisan, but I am not blind.I see exactly what these guys want to do to our country. I am ashamed that they represent such a large proportion of the population. If any of them could actually accomplish what they advocate, America is doomed.

I don't fear a terrorist attack that much, although 9-11 did cause a pretty severe economic slump. I think the assholes that did it accomplished a large portion of their goal, which was to have us turn our security apparatus against ourselves out of fear.No foreign power other than Japan has attact our homeland since the war of 1812 so that is not something I think will happen.I think we will continue the economic and social slide into oligarchy that began under Reagan the Braindead. I think the ultra wealthy puppet masters of the GOP ultimatly want to bring back slavery. Poverty is a character flaw to them that can be remedied with slavery.That's what I mean by doomed.They are trying to dismantle our education system, and make sure no one can ever pull themselves out of poverty. They want to make sure women in our society have no control over their own lives or bodies (ABE: The same as a bunch of other assholes that they all claim to hate). They want to make sure poor people cannot vote. They want to make sure that there will be no pensions or social security or medicare. By the way, medicare should have been expanded to provide single payer medical coverage for everyone instead of the ACA. It has a 3% administration cost compared to 10-20 times more for private insurance.Edited by Tanypteryx, : added a small note....noting the similarity between Gop assholes and Muslim assholes and how they treat women.

It was not by another nation, just a bunch of nuts living in squalor in Afghanistan. Reaganomics and voodoo economics, trickle down, were all President Braindead's ideas and nothing trickled down, instead it was the biggest redistribution of wealth in history.....it was "gush-up economics".When we hear republicans claim they want smaller government it is code for "we want to make government run just as crappy as is possible, so we can transfer as much as possible into our cronie's private hands." Once all the functions of government are privatized they can really fuck us, and continue the move back to a slave society. I do see a brand new ballgame of threats to the U. S. It is the Republicans and the Tea Party and the bible thumpers and the bigots and the people like you who support them while you spout crap about terrible big government. They are not interested in liberty. They are doing everything they can to limit the liberties of everyone but the ultra rich and limiting any rules about how corporations should behave in a civilized society.They absolutely do not want limited government. They just want to privatize it and squeeze every cent of profit that they can out of the former citizens.Morality? The morality they practice is cutting the last safety lines for the elderly and for poor children. Denying health care to poor children, denying health care to women. They bitch about the innocents that died on 9-11 and then turn around and start a war that killed more than 100,000 innocent Iraqis. Yeah, that is the highest example of moral behavior. I was in high school when JFK was shot and as I remember there was a huge stink about the fact that Oswald bought a mail order rifle and there was an immediate call to stop that.You know disagreeing with you does not mean we don't respect or love this nation. We want to learn from our mistakes and try to make this country better. We are honest enough to admit that we have made mistakes and we are ashamed and embarrassed and want to do better. You bunch have lied to yourselves for so long that you believe all the lies. And I ask, "Why not?" They should have been. I would bet that every single African American in this country wanted these symbols of bigotry and hatred and slavery torn down, especially from public property that they paid taxes to support. It is their country too. So what? We can't have new ideas, new issues, new inequities that need to be addressed? Again, so what? Our economy will never recover until money starts to circulate. That means people need to spend money, even if it is for the basic necessities of life, but they have to have money before they can spend it.Do you really think that people who work 40 or more hours a week should not make enough to support themselves and their family?Do you really think that CEOs who don't actually do any work really are worth millions or billions of dollars a year and that it is good for our economy for them to hoard their wealth so that it does not circulate through the economy?Your dislike of science and scientists and people who want to raise the education level of the people who live here, so as a nation we can be self-reliant, and not have to fear everyone that does not live here, baffles me. Preparing ourselves and our children to cope with challenges we will face in the future seems like the only prudent course. The alternative is to be another has-been-nation, that failed because of false pride and refusal to work for a betterment of all.

Thanks a lot, you made ginger ale come out my nose and short out my keyboard.Wow, wouldn't that be fun to watch? Way better than the McCain and Palin Show. They could make another fortune with a comedy reality show after they lose the election.I think you are right, Lindsey is next. Christie and Huck are starting to look desperate to me also.

Maybe Trump will try and collect.

Am I correct in thinking that "political correctness" is trying to be polite so people won't think you are an asshole?I mean, that would make sense, because Mike Huckabee a fucked up, total, absolute, in caps, ASSHOLE.

The really sad thing is that the country that was the brightest chance for mankind and the whole planet blew out its own flame.The U.S. is rapidly defining a new category of society below "third world country." A "fourth world country" is one that approached levels of science, technology, and societal freedoms that could have ended poverty, ignorance, bigotry and warfare, but instead turned and embraced poverty, ignorance, bigotry and warfare.

In the message Message 341 that started your latest claims of "we're supposed to be a Christian, nation, blah, blah, blah......", I was doing the opposite of cheering. I have seen you write this a number of times before. It is total BS.

Tell that to the Native Americans, and all the others that were slaughtered to make America great. All the generations of slave labor that helped make America great. Our country, the United States of America, did a lot of bad shit to a lot of other people that stood in our way and it was cheered on by a lot of Christians.For just a bit shy of 200 years you Christians shoved your religion down everyone's throat despite the Constitution. Finally, after WWII people started to realize that the Constitution was actually there to keep a majority from using the government that we all paid taxes to, from sponsoring or supporting a religion in tax-supported things like schools.What the founders did not expect was that Christianity would dominate the workings of our government for 200 years.What is destroying the greatness of our country is the Christians doing everything they can to impose their oppression on the rest of us. The republican fundamentalists are intentionally trying to destroy our government and impose god's laws (their psychotic version of god's laws) on the rest of us.
