I’d say honesty numbers are a bigger problem for a candidate than those.
You say a lot of stuff. Is there any reason why I should give a shit?
Do you have some correlation study of historical polls of that point vs. electoral results that you derive that statement from? How about a link?
Oh, wait, no, you’re just … Never mind.
Do you have any basis for such an assertion?
That’s what I meant to say when I said…
He is like William “Bud” Abbott, except, without a script.
Oh, there’s a script.
You can read it in Mallard Fillmore every morning.
Mike Huckabee has stepped into the clown wagon.
Hucksterbee seems like the least wacko of the bunch – kind of disturbing.
So, the idea was to move the Republican primaries up the calender to avoid a long and ugly bloodbath among the candidates. But what if people still haven’t made up their minds? We gonna have Republican primaries with six candidates each with his own exclusive and determined constituency? The anointed candidate is the one who got fifteen percent of the vote over the next strongest, who got thirteen?
Appears that the Money Republicans already tried to run up the trial balloon “Jeb’s got it all sewed up, everybody else can go home!”. Doesn’t seem to have worked. And the Bozo Bus is too short for all those people.
All in all, excellent news for the Draft Romney! movement.
I assume you’re joking, but Romney would be head and shoulders above any of the crazies in the race so far. I don’t like or respect Romney, but he’s competent to govern.
Funny thing about those busses; the more Republicans on one, the shorter it gets. I saw Sarah Palin’s parked behind a flagpole once.
I was joking, but I’m not so sure anymore. A word or two from Bill Kristol on Sunday morning, an editorial in the WSJ might be all it would take, and it spread like mildfire across the nation. And sure, its kinda weird, most of my notions are, I’m reliably advised. But that’s taken by itself, considered in isolation. Taken in context, the context being a big cage full of meth-addled mynah birds, its not so unlikely.

Did I leave anyone out?
Y’know, it seems to me that we’ve elected, and even re-elected, plenty of presidents who had bipartisan reputations (deserved or not) for being pants-on-fire liars. If it didn’t hurt Nixon or Bill Clinton, why would it hurt Hillary?
Hopefully, there will be enough dark money to keep them all in through the primaries. I would love to see them eating their own children at the convention.
I’d like to thing integrity would be high on the list, but honestly, I’d looking at one question: Are you going to try to do things I think are good, or are you going to try to do things I think are bad? There’s no reason a liar and two-faced hypocrite can’t make the world a better place. I have no doubt whatsoever that Mrs. Clinton will try to do more of what I like than any of the Republican field. (and, as I have to keep repeating, I don’t even like her very much).
We’ve reelected pants on fire liars. We have never elected someone for the first time with such a reputation.
