some MB wisdom:



''Gay marriage is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that.''

''I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back.”

''Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.''

“But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.”

''Pelosi is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said she has even said she is trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that 2,000 years ago.''

''If we took away the minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone — we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.''

''I don't know where they're going to get all this money because we're running out of rich people in this country.''

Sounds like head to head she beats out Biden, so maybe VP material at least.

The Republican Primaries are going to be fun. I can't wait to see how each of these candidates tries to neutralize the others.

TALKING TO THE PRIMARY TARGET AUDIENCE IN THE PRIMARY?



Michele Bachmann expressed skepticism of evolution at the Republican Leadership Conferencein New Orleans today.

“I support intelligent design,” Bachmann told reporters following her speech at the conference, CNN reports.


“What I support is putting all science on the table and then letting students decide. I don’t think it’s a good idea for government to come down on one side of scientific issue or another, when there is reasonable doubt on both sides.”

intriguing, exciting and enriching understate the potential.

Hmmm

Though Palin TP candidate

Bachman is Sarah Palin with more anti- education. Let's face it, Oral Roberts U was a joke.

Straight from the talking horse's mouth:


"My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism."


Ann Coulter

MSNBC 2/8/97

[Tinker]

Ann Coulter is brilliant, she talks down to her audience more than anyone else, she clearly and obviously thinks her audience is stupid, but she's worked in these clever rhetorical tricks to keep them unquestioning of their beliefs and suggests that anyone who challenges your beliefs thinks you're stupid because they are an evil Liberal.

It's a good scam. And it's lead us down the road to Michele Bachmann.

A lot of people have made a cottage industry off of the unconsidered hate that the rural have for the urban and vice versa.

I wonder how many people realize that Bill Maher is one of Ann Coulter's best friends?

[I am ST]

There is a difference between being smart and being cunning. The latter is more important for a politician. Psychopathic self-confidence never hurts, either.

Never hurts in terms of getting elected. In terms of keeping people out of nuclear exchanges with China, on the other hand...

Looking at the field of candidates, it looks like the Repubs are doing their damnedest to lose 2012.

Romney is the Republican version of Kerry: boring, uninspiring and the Romneycare will make it hard to hit Obama where it matters. The creepy Mormon smile (c) permanently affixed to his face doesn't help either.
Paul is a principled statesman, sadly with a mixture of healthy common sense and a few really odd principles (all the gold standard stuff) and with the charisma of a Orgo Textbook. He's also really old.
Bachman, looks like she has not aged a day in the past 10 years, but frankly, there's something scary in her eyes: if it weren't for the lack of red glow, she could easily pass for the Terminator-T20. Her stance of creationism is a no-no for me, but the public might not frankly give a flying fuck if she shows herself to be solid otherwise. As the only skirt in the room, she easily stands out in a sea of gray suits. If she sticks to talking without gaffes about taxes and unemployment she might make it. Overall assessment - a more competent version of Palin, but maybe lade with even loonier baggage from Oral Roberts U. I may yet be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not holding my breath.
Pawlenty is a competent manager and would probably make a good president, but his heart doesn't really seem to be in the race, and the fringe pandering he's tried to do has been very half-hearted and transparent. Not clear that hell be able to gain a solid primary constituency. He and Romney are going for the same constituency (balanced budget moderates) and Romney has the first mover advantage, leaving Pawlenty with a lot of catching up to do. His one big advantage is a proven record of doing at the state level exactly what he proposes to do at the Federal. I would vote for this guy for president.
Palin Since I favor the moderate wing, I really hope Palin will run, so that she and Bachman have to compete and split the tea party vote. I think it's unlikely that she will run, of if she runs, it's unlikely that she will put together a serious campaign. Right-wing victimhood and bitching against lamestream media can only carry her so far. She has 0% chance of being elected if she miraculously survives the primary.
Cain Pizza magnate wants to be president. Ever since seeing Morgan Freeman be president in '98, I've wanted a black US president with a deep reassuring voice - and Obama is too tall and skinny, and not baritone enough for my taste. Too Eurofaggy if you want. Even the name Cain has a nice biblical sound to it (for all of us typical Christians who've read the first chapter and a half of the bible). As a pizza magnate, he's the anti-intellectual par exellence. If only he'd been state governor for 8 years or so, he'd be just about ripe. As it is, he's never really held elected office and he's a complete green politically. He thinks that's a good thing, but I have my doubts. I don't think he'll do particularly well. Latent racism and his lack of experience will likely sink him before his campaign really takes off.
Jeb Bush A truly competent fellow, sadly forever tarred by his last name. Repeatedly denied wanting to run, and frankly, I don't think he'll dare run. By 2016 he will be forgotten, I think.
I haven't got enough info on any of the rest to write anything.

My gut right now: odds 7:3 Obama gets reelected.

[skyhook77sfg]

ST is right

they dont want the white house

they want to hang the tar baby they created on Obama

while making more gains in house and senate.



the grover nyquist strategy is working so far.

but it could go beyond immobilizing government

and bring down the whole system in a cascade of unforseen events.
