Political discussion thread

Politics is a dirtier game than war, with much more collateral damage. 

I can't believe the sh*t that goes on in Congress, though. There are some truely despicable goings on there. Attaching totally unrelated bills together to get them passed, and just ignoring doing their f**king job. It's all so sneaky and dishonorable. F**k them all, the dirty b*****ds.

Ron Paul at least has a spine. I don't care what his policies are (which can't be too retarded with all the attention he gets), at least he stands up and speaks his mind. He's like Dennis Kucinich but less pitiful and annoying.

Oh believe me I have. Gotta love a good conservative nut job (as long as they're only heard and not making public policy)

Watching him at the debate was the only time I actually laughed at what a politician was saying. Hence the exploding heads.  Right wing, yet black. Oh my God that man is HILARIOUS.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRJwxNxVH64   I've never felt so sorry for a moderator       don't look now but the liberals are trying to destroy america...'cause you know there's something in it for us if our own country falls

That was amazingly funny. Also what he says about religion is hilarious too. Schools are failing because Jesus isn't there to whip every kid in to shape.
not to sound anti-religious but still... this makes no sense.

...and within the next few weeks, we'll get to hear big bill talk about how the secular progressives want to destroy america with their "Happy Holiday" signs and fictitious stories of banned nativity scenes.  If I had three stones to throw at anyone I wanted...

I say bring it...  Limbaugh's on his last legs, haven't heard from Dennis Miller in ages, and Fox is a journalistic joke and everyone knows it ..

no I'm not kidding at all..  if you were a Republican adviser would you advise a candidate for national office they say or suggest something about, say, how as a woman Hillary wouldn't be able to handle making military decisions-- besides, it wouldn't float; Golda Meir, Thatcher, etc.

The scary thing is that I think we'll run out of Clintons before Bushes.

Weakest? Thompson. What part of "Reagan on death bed" eludes you?
