I read this today.

And Hillary looks to be running unopposed and that is a very uncomfortable feeling for me. And if Jeb Bush is the eventual GOP nominee, they will begin to sound like running mates.

All trailing Hillary by double digits. :D

My thinking is they are flooding the field to make it impossible to fund going negative. That and 30 people on stage going all negative slam on Hillary is going to alienate 47% of the voting public. :)

Carl

It's the same old list of weirdos from the last go around.

At what point does this house of cards finally catch a breeze and scatter to the winds?

You're not giving the GOPers anywhere near enough credit. They have an endless supply of nut cases. The Klown Kar has a whole bunch of new passengers, some Krazier than in 2012. To name but a few, there's Cruz and Christie and Paul the Younger and :eek:Bolton:eek: Fiorina too but she ran for the Senate last time.

So what do you think is their strategy/game plan?

Alienate the 47% to the point where they don't vote (voter suppresion) or you predict that the 47% is going to get turned off against the GOP candidate. I can see this go either way though in the end this will all come down to the swing states, money and negative advertising.

You're right.

They get crazier with very election cycle.

I never thought I'd say this, but right now in 2015 George W. Bush, who was by far and away the worst President in my lifetime, is now, by comparison, not looking so bad.

I think they will be turned off with the agenda of Adelson and the Koch's being promoted. But then I would have thought the real Republicans would have taken their party back by now too. :rolleyes:


Carl

I think the average Republican voter doesn't devote a lot of time to searching for and examining the agenda or the powerful individuals behind the candidates and their campaign rhetoric. As long as the message triggers the correct emotional response, they're totally on board.

Democratic voters are only marginally better, IMO, mostly because what appeals to them are issues concerning overall social benefit and progress.

"Real Republicans" have left the party. They've given it up as a lost cause. Most are self-identified as "Independents" and a few have actually become Democrats. Younger voters, who came of age during the Tea Party era and who might otherwise have been mainstream Republicans are aligning themselves with the Libertarian Party and, to a lesser extent, the Democrats.

Rand Paul's clunkers.

RayBan tells his campaign to stop ruining their brand.
No surprise that a serial plagiarist and all around douchebag of the libertarian persuasion would try to capitalize on JFK's favorite model of sunglasses.

Why would a Libertarian give two shits about someone else's trademark?

Which ones get to play scary clown? oh wait they all are scary!

Cruz 'Missile' Ted can't be bothered...:rolleyes:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...da239&hpid=z16

Exactly.

If "lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for" I'd bet there are still plenty of the good type of Republican still in the party.

There's a few on the list I don't know much about like Pataki and King.

Fiorna? Carly Fiorina......another incompetent member of Americas business community like Trump. Trump couldn't make money running a CASINO. How do you f**k up running a casino? That takes a special kind of idiot. When are the Republicans going to put up a candidate that actually built a great business and created tens of thousands of American jobs, rather than ones that simply took over an existing business, f**ed t up and/or outsourced thousands of American jobs?

It's like the GOP has become a Wailing Wall for lousy businesspeople who blame the rest of the world for their failures. Oh, but, of course we see the trick...........

Shutting down operations and laying off thousands is.......wait for it.........SUCCESS! You heard that right, folks. Ruined communities and long unemployment lines are a sign that bold and decisive business "leaders" are doing their job!

Yeah, I know-----:confused:

The power of TV is waning, newspapers are history and now it's all social media.
The one that can tweet with the best can waltz into the White House, a scary thought.
The power wielded by Facebook and Twitter is astounding.

Rajoo.................

I'm finding that knowledge of history, even the desire to study and understand it is disappearing. In some cases it is being replaced by some sort of bizarre, utopian vision of the past. Everything was better........WAY better. Everyone was happy, healthy and wealthy. Cars ran better. The air was cleaner. We could cull elephants by the herd for their tusks and tomorrow there would be twice as many of them. Toilet paper was softer on our bungholes................:rolleyes:

I've recently been informed that things like tainted food products, slavery, racism, robber barons and their excesses, forced relocation of Native Americans.........never really existed, or at least weren't "really" so bad. Those things are all just dirty lies that "progressives" invented to smear an idyllic America and establish the totalitarian Communism we have today because of Obama and his Buds.

Democracy is a form of tyranny, designed to ".....crush the individual and rob him of his freedom", foisted upon America by wealthy, powerful elites.

This what a 20 year old relative, serving in Iraq (Air Force), told me a few weeks ago. I had a similar conversation with a young man this morning.

"People who burn our flag and protest against this country should be shot on sight."

This is our Brave New World, my friend.

I am losing optimism by the minute, now.

Dave

Need more data. One example isn't enough.

And 20-year-old still have considerable wising-up to do.

Some more than others....

So what happened to the land of opportunity which my family so well benefited from? It's in the past.We now offer self deportation! But heck we get to sing "land of the free and home of the brave" at baseball games. ;)

You still have some?

My optimism was gone years ago and I'm damn near out of hope.

I became a confirmed cynic when Gerry Ford issued a blanket pardon to Tricky Dick and Agnew didn't get hard time.

The thing about that "pardon" is that it wasn't one. Nixon hadn't been prosecuted or convicted of anything. What Ford did was give Nixon a blanket grant of immunity. Given this grant of immunity, it became pointless to conduct any further investigations into Nixon's the criminal actions or those of his administration so, not surprisingly, basically, none were ever conducted.

This was a disgraceful act and a dangerous one. It preemptively forestalled any real investigations into Reagan's Iran Contra operation and Bush's WMD hoax. It will doubtless be used again.

The Limbotomised dittiots of Excrement in Fraudcasting in evidence. Things don't really go better with Koch.

"Fiorina is joining a crowded GOP field. Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas have announced that they will run. Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, also formally announced on Monday, with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee scheduled to join on Tuesday." WaPo

They're going to need a bigger bus. :rolleyes:

My faith started to crumble in the 8th grade when Khrushchev caught Eisenhower lying his ass off about the U2 incident.

By the time my ass got sent to Vietnam in August of 1970, I knew it was all bullshit.

Here is the Fiorina website:

:p


Carl

Good one Carl. ;)

Priceless and thanks Carl. For someone from the tech. sector, one would have thought she knew better. For someone who could not manage an innovative and talented company like HP, what makes her think she can lead this country?

The best she could hope for is the VP slot.

The GOP is not going to put a woman or a minority at the top of the ticket.
