im a huge linda perry fan..seems we are in the minority.

Wouldn't this have been easier if the lengths of the towropes had been staggered so they'd all have more room?


and without katy perry?

I've been saying Tyler Perry is unfunny for years now.

I think the issue is that we can't just disagree with a few things on issues anymore. Republicans have to disagree with Obama in such strident terms it's as if they're saying Obama shouldn't even exist. That kinda turns off say the part of the country that voted for him. They do it simply because they need headlines...when Perry was nothing all he did was talk about Obama in a mean way and he got attention. It's an insane way to run a political system. It's a reality freakshow that in no way represents the people it's meant to. It's just a GIANT PR display where the person with the most money and best ads wins.

How can we stand it? Oh sorry...pizzas ready.

It's not the same people cheering for both...the first group are the Perry/Santorum supporters (the ones that boo a gay man that is serving in the military and cheers when the topic of state executions are brought up). The second group is the Ron Paul supporters.>> ^ChaosEngine:

Crowd seems really confused here.
RP: "We can't go around pissing other people off"
crowd: "boo! fuck you, we can do what we want to whoever we want, we're America! (fuck yeah)"
RP: "And we need to stop these wars"
crowd: "yay!"
They just don't get that there could be a correlation between the two points....

Fascinating stuff. rap, hip hop, and any of those sorts of 'music' are just laden with so much shit that I don't like finding my kids watching music videos on a weekend morning because it's filling their heads with such fucked up attitudes towards men and women it's just not funny.

Actually I take it back, it's not just rap and hip hop, it's about 70% of popular music is just filled with such rubbish. Katy Perry with her cream shooting breasts (although I guess that has Snoop Dog, so there's the 'rap' link), women dressed in as revealing as possible outfits, singing about buying all the latest shit, having sex with as many people as possible, it's all just fucked.

And yeah, isn't it fucking noble of him to suddenly turn around and decide that people shouldn't be calling his daughter a bitch and a 'ho' after he's been doing it for years.

If he does start making amends by giving money to groups, doing talks to youth as to why it was wrong of him and is wrong of others, then that can make a difference. Someone who they respect letting them know why it's not ok to call women a bitch or a ho, or treat them as sex objects... then that might make a difference. And that would be good

@notarobot

They are all terrible - each with his or her own individual horrors to inflict upon the nation. It's as weak a field as I've ever seen. I think the best choice would be the one that is likely to get the least done - the most boring, uncharismatic and ineffectual. Sooo.... Hunstman, I guess.

It's much easier to pick a worst, and that would be Newt Gingrich. That guy is one of the shiftiest politicians I've ever seen. He seems like a complete mercenary who is only looking out for Newt. Bachman, Perry and Santorum are idiots. I liked Cain's wtf campaign and weird sense of humor, but he obviously lacked even a basic understanding of the information needed to do the job. I don't really feel like I know who Romney is. He is very slick and guarded. It looks like he is going to be the guy unless some tragedy befalls him.

@Auger8

That's nice of you to say. I'm used to being called a statist idiot. I like you too and think that if you dig Ron Paul, you should shout it from the roof tops. He is indeed not the status quo, fairly consistent and more honest than most politicians (though I do believe he intentionally misleads through omission and vagueness) I also like that he brings war, weed and the debt into the dialog.

You shouldn't need to counter any of what I've said if you truly support Ron Paul. He is a states rights guy, an anti-federalist and adherent of 'negative' liberty, which is liberty FROM democratic government, rather than liberty BY WAY of democratic government. If the things I've posted bug you, you should read up on Austrian economics, the Mises Institute, Ayn Rand, anarcho-capitalism, negative vs positive liberty and Ron Paul's homepage (though Ron is smart enough to keep things brief and vague on his own site). If these things appeal to you, then ending federal civil rights protections and letting the states decide should be something you support.

What bugs me is that many liberals are attracted to him based on hearing a few persuasive anti-war and pro-weed soundbites, without realizing that his economics are an extreme right wing form of capitalism. I want to make sure that people see this side of Ron Paul. If you support completely unfettered, unregulated markets, then Ron Paul is the guy for you. I know I probably come off as a little over-obsessive to allies and opponents alike, and I'm sorry to be that way, but that's who I am and how I feel. If I feel strongly about something, I just blurt it out. The internet is my safety release valve, because I'm much more guarded about discussing politics in my real life. Though I can be impulsively drawn to conflict in real life too. Anyway, cheers. I'm curious to know if you support Ron Paul's total package, or just the anti-war, pro-constitution stuff he talks about in the media.

Also, you can edit down my quote or remove it all together from your comment with the edit function. It's pretty darned long in and of itself without being quoted in its entirety.

Yeah, they'd also have to find it on a map first

Article about this whole thing....

Excerpt:

The film’s producer, Barry Bennett, a former consultant to a super PAC that supports Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, said he came up with the idea himself.

Mr. Bennett said he had bought an “opposition research book” on Mr. Romney compiled by the staff of a Republican rival during the 2008 campaign and had found its contents “stunning.”

“David Axelrod,” he said, referring to Mr. Obama’s strategist, “is going to have a heyday with this, and Republicans need to know this story before we nominate this guy.”

Yes, Rick Perry, when the election is over, you will get a cabinet position in the Department of Rabbit Tending. Look over there, I can see the rabbits now!.....
