NEWS: The Republican Candidates Are Sad Little Turds

Since when do posts need to be relevant to a thread? You must be thinking of the WSJ Blog.

I believe the title is "Republicans are sad little turds" and somebody commented earlier on how "intolerant" Democrats were in relation to the oh so tolerant Republican party... they are so deep in the polls because they are so out of touch with the American people... that's the point.

Well yeah, but that same person would likely state that "kowtowing to the gays" - y'know, caring about what they think - makes the Democrats out of touch with the American people.

Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican - at this moment, the choices aren't very good. This race is wide open. I don't think anyone can call this one. But I do think Hillary will get the Democratic nomination and either Obama or Edwards will be picked as her running mate. (My WAG).

On the Republican side - Most of the candidates that even remotely have a shot haven't entered the race (yet).

Like you, I am a Republican. And while I do not agree with EVERYTHING FearTheReaper said, with all due respect Sir, he's definitely done his research. Look at the Republican candidates who are actually running. Forget the ones that MIGHT run.

Do any of them really look all that promising?

It is truly sad to think that right now, most Americans are against the gays. It's my hope that the next generation won't be so narrow minded. But you DO have a point.

... meanwhile the Dem's keep talking out of both sides of their mouth - proposing bills that would increase abstinence-only (which is widely known to NOT work) education funding to $141 million (up $28 million).

To quote James Wagoner of Advocates for Youth, "Let's face it. With friends like these, who needs conservative Republicans?"

Say what you want about Republicans, but at least they're upfront about their bigotry, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and desire to see the rich get richer at everyone elses expense. You *know* what you're getting with the GOP... the Dem's, however...

By not wronging it...

....wait

Romney won the straw poll because it's a pay to vote event. He had the most money to give to prospective voters for him, and because he worked hard to win the thing, putting more of his money and effort in there, in hopes of doing well enough against Giuliani and McCain. They basically stuck it to him by not participating, which takes of fair bit of the luster off his win.

I'm an independent and no candidate from either party gets me really excited.

I just find it hard to believe that these men and women are the best we have for the job.

I'm thinking that no Republican who is worth anything politically would touch this race with a 10-foot pole.

Think about the colossal military, economic, budgetary, and infrastructure mess the next president will inherit.

You can thank Diebold agian, their where alot of voteing problems

Mitt Romney and his 5 'chicken hawk' sons are a disgrace to the country. While he will happily continue to send the sons and daughters of this country off to die in The Bushies absurd war if he is elected his sons have decided that

"one of the ways my sons are showing suport for our nation is helping to get me eleceted, because they think I'd be a great president." replied the cowardly piece of crap Mitt Romney

Sign Up or Shut Up

Draft College Republicans

In which case, which candidate should the Democrats put forward? Given what they're going to inherit.

Personally I'm saying Clinton. She's already tainted in so many people's eyes; let her take the flak of sorting it all out. Then when she doesn't run in 2012 maybe the Dems can get solidly behind someone else.

That could be it. Even then though, I can't think of a Republican who is not running who would make a good President.

My vote is for Huckabee, I think he is the most likeable of the lot. But he may be to nice to fix this mess. I am also partial to Giuliani I lived in NYC when he was mayor and I thought he was awesome. I had the chance to meet him and have seen him speak a few times. I think it sucks he doesnt stand a chance because of his liberal views on abortion. Oh but the whole marrying his cousin, thats suspect!
