Some names include Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kirsten... Seriously. Some names include Jesse Jackson, Osama Bin Laden, and Vladimir Putin. ---

FTR, I hereby Pit **GloryDays** for repeated concern-trolling in the Elections forum, dude’s obviously a dishonest RW shitbag, but I’m not going to put a lot of effort into it. ---

Macho tough-guy, war-hawk, fights Muslim terrorists, guards (and expands!) the border, populist, traditionalist, authoritarian, not PC, not a civil-liberties pussy, not soft on gays . . . ---

GloryDays’ Dream Ticket would be Vladamir Putin + Evan Bayh, because, you know, Bayh is a great, moderate, influence on the Dems. ---

Jared Fogle — in the Country of the Blind the one-eyed man is King. Plus he’s devoutly jewish, so no awkwardness with Israel. ---

If Zakalwe, running coach and BrainGlutton are indicted of raping their children and hating black people and torturing Jews and fucking goats and beating their wives who will post for them? ---

OK, I’ll cut y’all some slack on the goats, they’re overrated anyway. Well, not by much, I’m sorry, Bessie. But you’re still worth more than any Mod! And your **dung** is worth more than **Drunky Smurf!** ---

Does it seem like we suddenly have a lot of Turing test candidates of late? Didn’t we used to only attract the very hippest of the _trognoscenti_? Can’t be attracting that much attention. ---

Where are all the moderate voices like George Wallace and Joe McCarthy? We need someone to counterbalance the hard leftists like Joe Lieberman!
