Who do you vote for?

As much as I hate to feed the beast, the electability issue for HRC is a real one.
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/28/248165.aspx

52 percent "under no circumstances" is a whopper of a number.

 

I always wondered about Fred's collection of little shoes....

 

Well, ahem, er, this might be a problem...

 

This is going to be fun.....

1. suppress stem cell research - WHY THE FUCK IS THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVED IN MAKING RULINGS ABOUT ANY RESEARCH AND WHY IS THIS EVEN AN ISSUE?
2. lower taxes on the rich - THE RICHEST FIVE PERCENT OF THIS COUNTRY PAY LIKE 70 or 80 PERCENT OF THE TAX BILL. YEP, THEY ARE GETTING OFF SCOTT FREE AND WHY IS IT YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS HOW MUCH TAXES YOUR NEIGHBOR PAYS ANYWAY. OH THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S JUST NOT FAIR... :'(
3. crush gay rights - I DIDN'T REALIZE CERTAIN GROUPS REQUIRED CERTAIN RIGHTS. LIKE STEM CELL RESEARCH -- WHO GIVE'S A RAT'S ASS AND WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVED IN THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
4. criminalize abortion - MURDER IS ILLEGAL IN EVERY OTHER INSTANCE. IT ISN'T A RELIGIOUS ISSUE TO BEGIN WITH.
5. 'surge' in Iraq - NO, INSTEAD WE WILL SURGE IN BOSNIA, OR SOMALIA OR KOSOVO OR WHATEVER OTHER COUNTRY OUR PRESIDENT DETERMINES IS POLITICALLY GOOD FOR HIM IF WE INVADE, OR I'M SORRY, ENGAGE IN POLICE OR PEACE KEEPING ACTIVITIES
6. katrina response - YEP, THE HURRICANE WAS GWB'S FAULT AS WAS THE FACT THAT IT CAUSED FLOODING AND KILLED PEOPLE. IN FACT, I HEARD ALL THE GOP CANDIDATE'S SAY IN A DEBATE THEY CAN'T WAIT TO GET ELECTED TO CAUSE NATURAL DISASTERS IN BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS TO DROWN MORE OF THEM BLACK PEOPLE
7. illegal wiretapping - who needs civil rights? GOOD QUESTION. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO OUR CIVIL RIGHTS. LET'S START WITH THE CONTINUED ATTEMPTS TO TEAR UP THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
8. firing US Attorneys - I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AMAZED WHEN LIBERALS WHINE ABOUT HOW UNFAIR LITMUS TESTS ARE IN JUDGING ATTORNEY'S, YET SEEM TO HAVE NO PROBLEM OPPOSING ANY JUSTICE WHO IS CONSIDERED TOO CONSERVATIVE OR TOO MUCH OF A STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST OR IS OPPOSED TO ABORTION. THOSE AREN'T LITMUS TESTS APPARANTLY.
9. $3 gas - what's good for Halliburton.....I FORGOT, THIS ONE GETS BLAMED ON GWB AS WELL, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FRIEND'S OF THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES ARE ALL POOR POPPERS WHO DON'T EVER HANG OUT ON WALL STREET AND THUS ARE REAL AMERICANS....
10. de-regulate business - REGULATIONS ON BUSINESSES HAVE STRANGLED ECONOMIC GROWTH AND FORCED COMPANIES TO FIND CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
11. deport illegal immigrants - I BELIEVE GWB WAS TRYING TO KEEP ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HERE AS LONG AS THEY WERE WILLING TO BECOME LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. AND AGAIN -- WHAT IS SO WRONG ABOUT ASKING PEOPLE TO BECOME LEGAL CITIZENS AND SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE?
12. all white male candidates - A BRIEF LOOK AT THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET SUGGESTS HE SLUMS AT LEAST A LITTLE...
13. pardon Scooter Libby - AS OPPOSED TO PARDONING A BUNCH OF CRONIES DURING YOUR LAST MONTH IN OFFICE?
14. 9-11 - Clinton's fault, he should have KOed bin laden in 98 -- OH, I SEE THIS WAS GWB'S FAULT. IT WASN'T THE FAULT OF A BUNCH OF WHACKO'S WHO GOT THE JOB DONE RIGHT -- IT WAS GWB'S FAULT OR ANY PRESIDENT'S FAULT FOR THAT MATTER.
15. 2000 election - pat buchanan absolutely got 3500 votes in mostly-jewish palm beach county. HERE WE GO WITH THIS AGAIN -- IT WAS GWB'S FAULT THAT A BUNCH OF DEMOCRATIC VOTERS WERE TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND A VERY SIMPLE BALLOT.
16. red state america - real americans - highest rates of illiteracy, obesity, divorce, domestic violence, alcoholism, huntin' and fishin', and church attendance. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF LIBERAL 'TOLERANCE AND COMMITTMENT TO ACCEPTANCE AND DIVERSITY' WHAT A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES.

Yep I can really see your point, we better elect a Democrat to save us from ourselves.. :

 

I agree with Zagoshe on exactly one thing: get the heck out of the preventing stem-cell research business.

 

Unless Thompson wins, the stem cell research will go forward. Bush is in the clear minority on that one, even in his own party...

 

Huckabee -- No.
Brownback -- No.
Romney -- Who the fuck knows, but probably not. He fought it in MA, and he claims meretriciously that he changed his position on the right to choose because they started "talking about cloning" in MA, which they didn;t. They talked about stem cells. Sorry, the base loves the little blastocysts and every sperm is sacred, so I'm not as sanguine as you.

 

I do have respect for Giuliani, but can somebody tell me what he has done to make the world a safer place to earn the mantle of Mr. "Take the fight to the enemy"? I'm sure I missed something somewhere.

 

Whatever the outcome, Zag justs wants to be sure we put the CAPs back in Capitol.

 

I don't have any use for Mitt, but there are better reasons not to vote for him than this.

But not many funnier ones.

 

Hillary vs. all
Edwards vs. all
Obama vs. all

The Republican candidates and I disagree on too many positions.
