And if you don’t want to debate me, maybe we can arm wrestle. …is now something a semi-legitimate candidate for U.S. congress says, with the support of a former governor and VP candidate.

burntumbre: Does anyone else see the irony in the elephant being the symbol of the Republican Party? Elephants live in matriarchal groups where males are excluded except to breed. They’re herbivores and are known to be highly empathetic to other elephants as well as their dead; if one elephant in the group is in trouble, …
I sent my mom an email to ask her not to vote for romney
laurenashleybishop: I want to tell you to not vote for Romney for a lot of reasons. I want to remind you how devastatingly dishonest he’s been regarding his own finances. How he basically committed a felony in 2009 which is why he won’t release his tax returns for that year. How he lied blatantly about …

Mitt Romney’s Debate Performance: “Mostly Fiction” (by BarackObamadotcom) It’s easier to appear more… active when you base your arguments on misleading statements, lies and populism. (And don’t have to stay away from the ‘angry black man’ stereotype.)(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Mitt Romney and My Naivete
I’m incredibly naive and optimistic sometimes. I actually thought an adult with a MBA from a highly distinguished school would know about the high economic costs of having large parts of your economy’s population depend on nothing but emergency care/emergency rooms for their “health” care.

[TW: discussion violence against women, rape, preeclampsia and miscarriages] I struggle to see anything adaptive in this. I struggle to see any benefit that could outweigh this cost.

And the idea that we should be parsing and qualifying and slicing what types of rape we are talking about doesn’t make sense to the American people and certainly doesn’t make sense to me. So what I think these comments do underscore is why we shouldn’t have …
thenationmagazine: Todd Akin was Paul Ryan’s co-sponsor on a sinister House bill just last year that attempted to redefine rape as “forcible rape.” Only in today’s Republican party would sponsoring such a bill make someone a more attractive VP pick. While Ryan allows lesser candidates like Akin to carry the water on extreme views held …
[Rhodes scholar and Louisiana Governor Jindal] is, in other words, the rare politician who can work a spreadsheet. Which is why it’s so disappointing when he says things like this: “I suspect that many in the Obama administration really don’t believe in private enterprise. At best, they see business as something to be endured so …
“Ron Paul is not a kindly old libertarian who just wants everybody to be free. He’s a really creepy bigot. “
Just a link for people who need a kind reminder: “Ron Paul Is a Huge Racist." Found this text via a post on champage candy, where I also found this gem of a description of the non-apology of claiming that racist words are not your own but a ghostwriters: “Don’t worry if he writes racist rhymes, …
