2012 Elections Part I: All Politics is Yokel

Re: 2012 Elections Part I: All Politics is Yokel

This is a heartwarming story:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/61891.html

Nothing like having to resign because your idiot wife sent out a racist e-mail to black candidate who's known worldwide. It amazes me how bitter, frustrated and angry all conservatives in this country seem to be. Not just about politics but in their daily lives. Who gets this worked up over a state Senate race? Are they any optimistic conservatives, ala Reagan, left in this country?

Not like libtards, who can blame Sarah Palin for a mass killing and Michele Bachmann for the tragic suicides of some high school kids. And just how are you an expert on the "daily lives" and how "bitter, frustrated and angry ALL conservatives in this country seem to be." Typical libtard hyperbole.

You two ladies are really close, aren't you? I'm pulling for "smugness" to be included on the Olympic program someday. Podium for sure.

In Perry's book Fed Up he argues that Social Security is Unconstitutional. I wonder how that's going to fly with the electorate.

Global Warming is a contrived phony mess.
Entitlements are unconstitutional.
Death threats to the Fed Chair.

This man could be President.

He surely could be, considering his opposition. After only 28 months with the unemployment rate at or above 9%, old Deadmeat's gonna turn his full attention to jobs. No sense rushing in to these things.

Do I have the green light to be tired of Palin yet? Geeze, she's in...she's not in. She campaigns...she hasn't made up her mind. So she gets the attention she so desperately wants and her PAC gets angry about the free publicity!

"Any professional pundit claiming to have 'inside information' regarding Governor Palin's personal decision is not only wrong but their comments are specifically intended to mislead the American public," the statement read. "These are the same tired establishment political games that fuel the 24-hour news cycle and that all Americans will hopefully reject in 2012, and this is more of the 'politics-as-usual' that Sarah Palin has fought against throughout her career."

This is such a small portion of my budget (3% if that) that it's a non-issue, even at $3.50 or whatever the **** it is these days.

Hell, bump the price to $4.50 if it will translate to better infrastructure.

Perry's surging into the lead in the polls. Are Bachmann and Romney 'picking up their ball and going home' already?

I knew he would destroy any other social conservative's chances but who knew he would be so far out in front of Romney? 12 percentage points? Wow. The guy is a lunatic though. He's perfect for the Tea Party and The True Believers.

Nice Venn diagram from 538.

Personally, I'd push Perry inside Electable and Romney outside Reliably Conservative.

It's interesting, though, that the first guy gone was somebody in the "sweet spot" triple intersection.

There's really a fourth category: inspiring candidate. Inside: Perry, Bachmann, Palin, Paul; Outside: everybody else.

If Perry is electable after what he's written in his book Fed Up! then the country has drastically changed from what it once was.

Perry is electable. His "states rights when it's convenient for me" act has been the tacit philosophy of the GOP for years.

It's funny, since the "ef social security" card that looks so bad for him might be the only way left for the right to appeal to non-southerners under 40. They're on the wrong side of every other issue.

Bush was (well, his handlers were) smart enough to soft-pedal the "good ol' boy" crap while he was running. Remember the "compassionate conservatism" Trojan Horse they rode in? Perry OTOH seems to be ideologically and emotionally disposed to give us full-throttle Gomer Pyle. I guess they're hoping there are enough votes in the part of Florida that's East Alabama and the part of Ohio that's North Kentucky.
