does it matter who is nominated? Yes, because he/she will likely be the next president.

In the Kubler-Ross stages, you appear to be stuck in bargaining. We don't get to decide what type of crazy is least objectionable. We will be stuck with the crazy flavor that emerges from the GOP primaries.

we could try to influence, like going to tea party gatherings and going "I like X, cuz X is pushing for hybrids, I'm sick of all our money going to them Arab Al queda guys for gasoline." Hell, we could imply if we quit sending the Arabs money Obama's islam campaign money will dry up.

Clearly, Hank, you should run. I would bet you could get the entire anti-evolution, pro-global warming vote.

I'm pro choice Actually I'm pro-abortion in some cases, like I've been trying to convince Ty@50 to use his time machine and go talk to your mommy about getting it done.

On the first, no. But these GOP candidates are fucking atrocious.

One the second, Hank 1, Me 0. (There are specialty stores, but you aren't going to find super, super high end stuff there.)

A few years ago, I showed you that your notion that I was a slip-and-fall lawyer in West Bumfuck was idiotic (or, pure Hankness).

So now you pretend that you know where I went to college and what I studied? What next -- you going to claim that I went to Bob's Elementary School and Tackle Shop?

They usually are. Can you name the last Republican President who did not preside over a recession or depression?

You've changed the criteria. These Republicans are atrocious candidates. The Republicans you are talking about were by definition good candidates, but by your standard atrocious presidents.

It's really a strange election cycle. Obama should be very vulnerable because of the economy. But there is no one to challenge him. With those conflicting signals I think you have to say the incumbent wins.

didn't obama play to the extreme at first? isn't that why the extreme left has been disappointed by him? If the R's get to a candidate that isn't stupid/nuts that candidate likely wins. Bachman is Tied- a witch is tied- with obama in Fla.

And name the Dem presidents that didn't "oversee" a recession- Obama? please. Carter? Clinton? nope it had tanked prior to handing off the keys to w.

Maybe LBJ?

by the way talking to a troll can make you one too. I'm just warning you. Be careful.

I thought Christine O'Connell was the witch and Bachmann was the one who always says stupid stuff who isn't from Alaska.
