The race for the Republican nomination is a complete disaster. Each candidate is coming apart at the seams in spectacular fashion and it is truly delightful to witness. As of right now, Republicans do not have a candidate for president who is not badly damaged.

Let us start with Rudy Giuliani. Rudy is extremely thankful today for the Bush administrations shocking lies about Iran’s nuclear capabilities because his Shag Fund Scandal is off the front page – for now. But it is a long campaign and the allegations will dog Rudy the entire race. Let me recap Rudy’s shit storm.

Rudy used funds from little known city agencies to cover the cost of security when he took trips to the Hamptons to bang his mistress. Then it was revealed that Rudy used the NYPD as a taxi service to drive his mistress to Pennsylvania to see her parents, as well as around the city whenever she wanted. And best of all, he made the cops walk her dog. There is nothing a big city cop loves more than to walk and pick up the shit of the mayor's mistress' dog.

Also last week, it was revealed that Rudy went to a fundraiser
hosted by a convicted criminal, was lobbying for earmarks for 14 companies while campaigning against earmarks, does business with a Sheik who has close ties to Osama bin Laden and had his stump speech ripped apart by the New York Times for making claims that are "are incomplete, exaggerated or just plain wrong." Rudy is a walking disaster.

Next up was Mitt Romney and his illegal immigrant employee nightmare. For a Democratic candidate any sort of black mark in regards to immigration would not be that big of a deal, but the Republicans expect to run on the issue this year. It is the new gay marriage, which means any candidate who is not squeaky clean is in trouble with the base. And Mitt stepped into a big pile of Mitt this week.

During last week’s retarded YouTube debate, Mitt kept accusing Rudy of helping out immigrants by turning New York into a “sanctuary city.” Rudy fired back that Mitt had employed illegal aliens at his home in the past. Rudy was referring to a Boston Globe story from December 2006, which accused Mitt of hiring a landscaping company that employed illegal aliens. Mitt said he took care of the situation and made it clear to the landscaping company that no illegal aliens were to work on his property.

So, the day after the debate, the Boston Globe went back to Mitt's house and guess what they found? Illegal aliens working on the shrubbery. I am shocked and heart broken.


Yet, the next morning, on Thursday, at least two illegal immigrants stepped out of a hulking maroon pickup truck in the driveway of Romney's Belmont house, then proceeded to spend several hours raking leaves, clearing debris from Romney's tennis court, and loading the refuse onto the truck.


Now the Republican horde is losing their minds. Right wing message boards are working overtime attacking Mitt and his villainous behavior. He basically shit on America and everyone knows it. Good luck, Mitt! Just be thankful that you didn’t get a rapist out of prison so he could rape and kill people. That honor goes to Mike Huckabee and this week it came to the attention of the nation.


Wayne Dumond was convicted in 1985 for the rape of Ashley Stevens. In 1999, he was released after the parole board, under pressure from Huckabee, voted to do so. Two years later he was convicted of murdering a woman, who he also sexually assaulted.


Now, that could certainly happen to any governor. Of course, the fact that Huckabee showed Dumond so much respect and kindness was very odd.


Dear Wayne,

My desire is that you be released from prison. I feel that parole is the best way for your reintroduction to society to take place.


“Dear Wayne.” Are you kidding? You just opened a letter to a rapist with “Dear?” What an asshole. If I ever write a letter to a rapist, it will start with, "Hey Fuckface."

Dumond’s previous victims begged Huckabee not to release the rapist because they were certain he would rape again, but his time they were afraid he would kill his victim to make sure she could not finger him for the crime. Huckabee went ahead with the parole anyway. Why he did so is even creepier than the parole itself: Bill Clinton.

Turns out Dumond was convicted and sentenced for raping a distant cousin of Bill Clinton, so the right wing became convinced that Dumond was innocent. They had no evidence other than the fact that the rape victim was related to Clinton. The right wing put massive pressure on Huckabee to release Dumond. New York Post columnist Steve Dunleavy was on a mission, writing such beautiful prose as, the “So-called victim” and "That rape never happened." Eventually, Huckabee was either convinced Dumond was framed (probably not) or thought he could score points with the right wing (yes) by setting a rapist free.

Now Huckabee is running for president and he has a rapist albatross hanging around his neck. Good luck with that.

That is not such a good week for the three Republican front runners, is it? But we can also take a moment to look at the pure insanity coming from the bottom of the pack.



Wow, just throw "Jew" in there and you've got a piece of propaganda straight out of Nazi Germany.

A train wreck falling on a car crash.

Isn't one of the lessons learned from the Clinton years was that the sex life of a politician is off limits? How many politicians and columnists on the left spent years telling us that it didn't matter? As for using tax dollars and city employees to support an affair, I think it is fair to say that Clinton set the bar for that type of behavior.

Were you complaining about any of that at the time? Or are you being intellectually dishonest?

And yes, I am back.



What "liberals" and Democratic voters think of Guiliani banging his mistress on the tax payers dime, letting her and her friends use the NYPD as a taxi service, then hiding the expense trail, is not really relevant since they aren't the ones voting the GOP primary.

While all these issues are rather big, they're still probably not all that important to a lot of Republican voters. They're watching those ads and agreeing with them. Then they're glossing over everything else. That's just how it works. I mean, look at what they ignored in the last election because some dudes kissing was just too much.

It's not like it doesn't do ANY damage, don't get me wrong, but it's nearly as big as it should be.

I didn't really follow your posts too much the last time around, and never really formed an opinion on you. I was put under the impression that you were being a cry baby/ drama queen. It's not being disproven.

It is totally relevant given that the precedent has been set by Clinton (both in Little Rock and D.C.).

The argument being set forth in your article is that Rudy's campaign has been damaged by the revelations surrounding his extra-marital affair.

The same revelations were made about Clinton on numerous occassions, including the inappropriate use of tax dollars and government employees. However, the media establishment, the Democratic party, and those that supported Clinton spent millions of dollars advocating the notion that all of this didn't matter.

So, it either mattered where Clinton was concerned - and matters for Rudy - or it doesn't matter at all. The establishment on the left clearly argued that it doesn't matter at all.

So, to slam Rudy for his actions is intellectually dishonest - perhaps not for you FTR - but for everyone else who suddenly finds themselves waving from this bandwagon.

Most importantly, this operatic nonsense will have no relevance once the general election rolls around. The American people aren't dumb enough to be distracted from focusing on the real issues.

Sounds like good news for Ron Paul, he doesn't have any Immigrant issues, nor any problems relating to letting rapists free.
Looks like he's in.

I'll make you a bet, Ron Paul wins the nomination and I'll cancel my membership never to return. Ron Paul doesn't win, and you cancel your membership never to return. Deal? Put your "money" where your mouth is.

Rule of thumb - anybody egomaniacal enough to post something like "And yes, I am back" (especially, no less, to an audience of board members who prodigiously found his presence far too inconsequential to remember even remotely), can pretty much have their messages discounted automatically.

And this, indeed, is a terrible sacrifice on the part of rationally capable individuals everywhere, but we can only hope and pray that we don't inadvertently overlook the political teachings of the next Pliny the Elder. Seeing this post from jpaul256 makes me swell with that hope.

I challenge you to provide one credible allegation that Clinton misused tax dollars in the Monica Lewinsky scandal.



My posting noted both his time in D.C. as President and his time in Little Rock as Governor of Arkansas. Clinton had multiple affairs while Governor that required the participation and support of the Arkansas State Patrol. This is the same misuse of tax dollars that Rudy is now defending.


The "media establishment" fixated on the Lewinsky scandal obsessively because it generated ratings and ad revenues.

The "media establishment" is owned by corporations out to make a profit.

Those are the bullshit "issues" that so-called conservatives use to terrify Americans while subverting and betraying the Constitution and as a smokescreen to cover their criminal activities.

A day of reckoning awaits for the betrayers of the United States and the American way hiding in the Republican party. Our judgment cometh, and that right soon.



Good luck with that paradigm. A fear of "corporations" and supporting the notion that Republicans have betrayes America is so far removed from reality that a response really isn't necessary.

Here is the difference:

Conservatives think Liberals are wrong.

Liberals think Conservatives are evil.

That's why liberal thought only truly exists in the halls of academia and in a few pockets in the country.
