Ok - this isn’t republicans, but just so that you don’t think America has a monopoly on stupid…
But you have to have SOME kind of diversity in your ticket, and Fiorina, while a woman, at least is not, you know … black. And yeah, she’s said and done a lot of really stupid things and her businesses have all suffered seriously for having her at their helms, but hell, what do you expect? She’s a Republican woman! Women who fall for the Republican Party are like women who fall for bad-boy bikers who deal meth and pimp them out on the side … they’ve got NO judgement whatsoever. I mean, if you want sane and intelligent women as your Republican running mates, the bench isn’t just thin, it’s damn near nonexistent. Look at John McCain! He had to pick Sarah.Fucking.Palin as his running mate! If Palin and Fiorina are the best you can do for Republican female candidates, the rest of the field has to be so fucked up they have to be kept in straight jackets and wear those Hannibal Lector masks that don’t let you bite people.
Thus ends my impassioned defense of Carly Fiorina. it was, within the constraints under which Cruz operated, the best decision he could have made under the circumstances, which is not stupid.
Do it! Everybody who actually has to work with Cruz ends up hating him, so hopefully it wouldn’t take long for justices to end up taking contrary positions just to spite him.
I would say it’s probable since Oklahoma and Utah are probably the reddest red states in the country.
But she’s so purty!
Well, it was done in a profoundly stupid way. First, Ted butchered the introduction, coming this close to calling Fiorina his butt buddy. Seriously, that’s what it sounded like (24:08 into this video)
Then, Fiorina sang. Dear god, she sang. This might have been a humanizing touch if it wasn’t so tone deaf, both in execution, and in terms of convincing the electorate that Carly, as a woman, is ready to take on the awesome dignity and responsibilities of the highest rank in the country if needed.
Also, Ted, you might want to be careful about making speeches about judging executives by whom they choose to hire when you select a running mate who is notorious for being despised by her employees and whose claim to fame is a calamitous merger that crippled an American icon.
Sometimes a Republican gets it right.
Has anyone checked Ted for numerical birthmarks?
TWEET! Displays yellow card. Your post is found at fault for the following logical fallacies: moving the goalposts, and “no true Scotsman.”
You don’t have a case, you idiot.
I suppose you could be encouraged to try again, but I don’t expect anything better.
In his ongoing attempts to ensure nuclear proliferation, Tom Cotton has decided that the US should force Iran to sell heavy water to potential bad actors instead of the US.
This is the break the McCain campaign has been waiting for!
You know, I thought my comment about Republican women in my previous post may have been a WEE bit over the top. But … no.
Tennessee governor signs religious counseling bill into law
And my bullshit meter explodes:
Wouldn’t be long before another vacancy opened up. “Neighbors observed eight persons leaving Justice Cruz’ house carrying some sort of bundle, but said it was difficult to make out details as they were dressed all in loose black robes.”
Or the President and Congress just say “Well, we can prosecute and remove the eight justices, but then we don’t have a Supreme Court, so I don’t think that is Constitutional.”
So… they put the bill in place to allow counselors to turn patients away, but really nobody has ever actually turned anyone away… so why in hell did they need to pass a bill that was apparently not needed? Why not just title it “The Pandering To Stupid Asshole Republican Voters Bill”?
Because a bill needs a more specific name than that.
I haven’t moved the goalposts at all. I didn’t claim they don’t make fun of terrorists, I claimed they don’t make fun of Islam.
SNL lampooned a mainstream Christian movie. If they can make fun of mainstream Christianity they can make fun of mainstream Islam. The reason they don’t is obvious to all, including you.
So why not just say it?
Wait, a Republican administration creating unnecessary laws that intrude into people’s lives?
Unpossible.
Why, I thought that’s the very thing they stood squarely against!
