Wow, was I in for a surprise last night. I had the pleasure of attending a US Congressional Candidate Forum for District 19 last night. I’m not going to say what state I live in, nor the names of the people running for office. I will make up names for them that better exude their personality or my impression of them. The following are my thoughts on the questions and their answers.

There were 8 candidates on stage last night. We had a Mitt Romney Wannabe, a Lawyer Kid, a Guy They Say doesn’t have a Chance, a Bean Counter from Washington, a Mitt Romney Wannabe #2, a Duck Phillips, a Formerly Libertarian Leaning Radio Show Host, and a Democrat. 7 of the 8 people on stage are running in the Republican Primary for US Congressional Seat 19 in our district, the last guy is the only Democrat running for the seat.

They were asked a series of questions off of the GOOOH questionnaire, and a series of questions from the audience. I submitted three questions, and none were asked. Boo. They were asked the questions, and then they had to hold up a red or green sign whether they were for or against the topic.

The first question was “Would you support any legislation that would alter the promise made to those 55 and up when it comes to their Social Security benefits?”.  All but one said “No”. That is “No” to privatizing, “No” to voluntary disassociation, “No” to raising the cap, “No” to lowering benefits. The Formerly  Libertarian Leaning Radio Show Host was the only one that said we have a $16 trillion dollar debt, and was the only one that would say that we had to look at everything on the table. I can respect that. I submitted a question to be asked, that wasn’t, “Is Social Security a Ponzi scheme?” The way that Social Security is run right now, it’s relying on the forced confiscation of wealth earned by tax payers in the form of FICA withholdings on their paychecks. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that Social Security will run out of money and be in perpetual RED in as little as 2016. The last time I looked at the calendar, it’s 2012. So, in an effort to garner the votes and campaign donations from the nearly 300 people in attendance, they said “No, I would rather let the Social Security bankrupt our country instead of tell you the truth”.

The second question was “Would you support any legislation that would alter, remove, abolish the Tax Code as it stand now and replace it with a flat tax or the FairTax?” All Greens on stage. The Lawyer Kid said basically that he supports a flat tax and the FairTax is dangerous. The FairTax is a 194 page legislation, but takes an over 400 page book to explain. That is not even remotely true. The FairTax legislation is 133 pages as written today, the book written by Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder is  188 pages, that includes the Table of Contents and the Index in the back. He said it was dangerous because we don’t know what it will do, but it is wholly acceptable to support a flat tax, even thought that only adds to the complexity of the 3 million word, 76,000 page Tax Code we currently have today. He was saying that it is wholly acceptable to only tax producers in our economy. He was saying that is wholly acceptable to continue to have the world’s highest corporate tax rate. He was saying that it is wholly acceptable to keep the IRS to track you down and put you in a cage if you make a mistake on your tax forms and point a gun at you and force you to pay your taxes in weekly withholdings, whether you can afford it or not. He completely misunderstood and misrepresented the FairTax, where there are no corporate taxes, where you don’t have to file taxes, where you keep 100 percent of your income and investments. Only The Guy They Say Doesn’t Have a Chance said that the FairTax returns the tax system to the original constitutional restrictions and treats everyone equally, removes loop holes and lobbyists. The rest of them basically said, “Yeah, pander, pander, pander.” No solutions, nothing. If we want to get serious in this country about the economy, about jobs, about the future, we have to look at a solution that is simple and makes sense that also takes power out of the hands of government and returns it to the people. The FairTax is that solution. If only these people on stage would stand behind it, they promise “To fight for you!” Bull, show me by supporting legislation that will get the government out of my finances, out of my pay check and won’t throw me in jail if I don’t understand something with 76,000 pages and 3,000,000 words.

Later the question was asked, “Would you support any efforts to use legislation to decriminalize marijuana?” Now, I’m going to be as honest as I can, even though I’m writing on the Internet where nothing is true yet everything is believable. I have never smoked marijuana. I have never put any drugs into my body other than alcohol, caffeine, and medications. It’s not something that appeals to me. But, I am a warrior for freedom. I am a defender of liberty. And when I heard this question last night, I thought “Finally! A question that actually has value!” Nope. These so-called liberty-loving Republican candidates said “NOPE”. The Repubs all raised the red flag of the War on Drugs. The Lawyer Kid said “It’s a gateway drug, it’s dangerous, I don’t want kids smoking it and also there is this thing in the Constitution called the Commerce Clause, so yeah, I don’t think it’s a good idea.” The rest of them parroted his sentiments. Even though I know at least one of them on that stage has smoked before. “Commerce Clause??” Really? If the user grows the plant themselves, in their own garden, on their own property, and uses it in their own home, while consenting to administering the smoke of some sort of vegetation into his or her own body and THAT is enough justifiable reason for the imperial federal government to reach into your home and yank you out and put you into a cage?

“Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: [The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes”

Where does it say that they have the authority to do so? These people, these men, these human beings, are appealing to us, the audience, the voters, more human beings, for  the authority and permission to hire men with guns to tell us how we are allowed to live. Don’t ever forget that. These holier than thou, righteous men want the power to tell you what you must do, what you are not allowed to do in your own home.

“IV Amendment of the Constitution: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.”

I’m sorry, but that is just wrong. And the worst part, the audience applauded them. Freedom dies every time the audience applauds unjust laws. They got us into $16 Trillion in debt, the “War on Drugs” has cost us a trillion dollars. After 40 years of this, even U.S. drug czar Gil Kerlikowske concedes the strategy hasn’t worked. “In the grand scheme, it has not been successful, forty years later, the concern about drugs and drug problems is, if anything, magnified, intensified.” We have already tried the whole prohibition thing, it doesn’t work. Violent cartels are making hundreds of millions, we are paying hundreds of millions to imprison hundreds of thousands for victimless crimes, we paying billions in a “war effort” that doesn’t make sense. If someone has a drug problem, they can be treated just like someone with an alcohol problem. If they are caught driving while intoxicated, treat them the same as with alcohol. The whole supply/demand paradigm works with drugs too, the demand is still there today, after forty years, but supplies are scarcer due to the black market effect and it raises the cost. If you increase the risk, you increase the cost. As the costs go up, but demand stays the same, the risk taking to get the money to purchase the product goes up, thus crime, violent crime. That is what should be punished and that is what would go down. Market forces would reduce the prices of the goods; reduce the crimes inherent in procuring the goods, tax dollars won’t go to waste in incarcerations. debt goes down.

If the thought that if it is dangerous and therefore should be outlawed is true, the candidates should have proposed to outlaw cotton candy, hamburgers and alcohol, among everything else in life. Too much of anything is bad for the body, the best way to reduce its use is through education and not more guns and more political power.

This Lawyer Kid and the rest of them are just pandering to the masses, while trying to sound strong, and in effect, trample on the Constitution, our Rights, they are treating us adults as children. We have brains, we can think, we don’t need a government to make decisions for us, and these people are trying to get the power to do so.

They asked a bunch more questions, like about ending the Federal Reserve, they all send “No”. “We need market stability” and crap like that. As if the market was worse prior to the Fed, fiat currency and so forth.

I walked away with more disgust in my stomach than anything else. They were cheered; it was like those in the audience didn’t even listen to them. “Yay! Take more of my rights away!” Remember the old saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? It’s the same thing with rights, just because you don’t use all of your rights, there might be someone else that does. Just because you don’t value some of your rights, doesn’t mean that there is another person’s freedoms being trampled on, and if their freedoms are being trampled on, so are yours.

This primary season and this November, please remember to vote on principles. Vote on what your heart tells you. Read the Constitution and vote down the line on what the Constitution authorizes and nothing else. These people last night, if elected, will get to vote on hundreds of issues over their time in office. They are promising you that they will vote on principles when they get there. You do the same. The way I see it, if they get to vote 100 times in Congress, and you only get to vote for them once, you have to make a decision that is 100 times more principled than theirs’. If everyone does the same, we might actually be able to vote a better class of people into Washington and have a better, freer future of us and our children. As for the Republican Party, I wished they learned from their mistakes from the past instead of repeating it like they did last night.

Rick Santorum, showing signs of fatigue and frustration while grasping for strategies to right his unsteady White House bid, is trying to derail Republican front-runner Mitt Romney using any means available — even contradictory messages.

Santorum has called Romney “the worst Republican in the country” to challenge President Barack Obama, but in a subsequent interview he said he would consider serving as Romney’s running mate. He is not letting pass a vulgar fight with The New York Times while betting big on the health care debate, which his campaign says is intensifying at the perfect time to resurrect his fading candidacy.

“This is the most important issue in this election,” Santorum declared outside the Supreme Court on Monday while attorneys inside debated the constitutionality of the president’s health care law. “There’s one candidate who’s uniquely disqualified to make the case. That’s the reason I’m here and he’s not.”

I’ve lost count of all the debates that we’ve had thus far but thank god we only have another half dozen or so, unless of course they decide to work more into the schedule somewhere. This one was thrown by Fox News and held in South Carolina as their primary is less than a week away. Fox News gave us Bret Baier and Juan Williams with Kelly Evans and Gerald Seib from the Wall Street Journal as moderators for this round. I should mention that answers in this debate have been expanded to ninety seconds, as the GOP field is now narrowed down to five. Yes, five.

The reason being, is that Jon Huntmsman dropped out of the race earlier in the day. Huntsman, who was great on foreign policy, jumped ship and announced his endorsement for golden boy Mitt Romney. What’s disappointing about that is Huntsman was incredibly critical of Romney even less than a week prior. Huntsman went as far as to call Romney “unelectable” but now he is supporting him as he sees him as the best chance at beating Barack Obama. Huntsman lost a lot of credibility with me due to his blooming Romney love. Maybe it’s a Mormon thing or maybe it’s because they are both actually cousins, which has been ignored by the media mind you. Whatever the reason, Huntsman is out and he’s now on the Romney train like so many other so-called “conservatives” that aren’t able to see their own progressive ways. At least Huntsman can go back to his regular job of walking around on eight legs and scaring the shit out of Australians.

Newt Gingrich gets the first question and he is asked about his ads that attack Mitt Romney’s business record and if he thinks they are justified. Newtie Bootie says that it is important to look at and analyze job creation. He then quickly gets in a Ronald Reagan name drop and follows it up with a second Ronald Reagan name drop when he said that he and Clinton came up with a Reagan-like program for job creation in the 90′s. Newt points to the fact that Mitt raised taxes in Massachusetts and was actually ranked 47th out of 50 states in the realm of job creation. He stole that talking point from Jon Huntsman. Gingrich adds that if Romney promotes his business skills as part of his campaign then he, as a rival candidate, has the right to question it. He is then asked what he thinks about the Wall Street Journal criticizing him and saying that he is “embarrassing himself” with his attack ads against Mitt Romney. Gingrich responds by saying that he isn’t intimidated by the media just because he is asking questions about candidates.

In an effort to respond, Mitt Romney says that he has real experience in job creation due to his time in the private sector. Mitt says that he learned a lot from working in the private sector, as opposed to the other candidates who have spent much of their time in the public sector. He talks about how four of the companies he helped establish have gone on to create hundreds-of-thousands of jobs. Mitt adds that his record is public and available to anyone that wants to analyze his job creation skills. He claims that he has continually demonstrated a record of success. Romney points out that the unemployment rate in Massachusetts when he left was 4.7 percent. He also throws in that he balanced the state budget every year.

Rick Perry, in an effort to make this debate all about Mitt, is asked about his comments where he referred to Mitt Romney as a “vulture capitalist”. Perry is also asked what he would put in place to curb vulture capitalism. Perry says that his record proves that he is a real capitalist. Really? Tweaking the law and protecting a company that you own a stake in from getting in trouble for distributing porn illegally is the actions of a real capitalist? You mean taking money from Merck and then attempting to force young girls to be vaccinated with Merck products is also the action of a real capitalist? Looks like Perry is a fucking vulture too from where I sit. He then goes on to bitch like a liberal about how Bain destroyed jobs. He then tells us that his record and income tax has been public for years and uses that to call out Mitt and then asks him to release his income tax information so that the public can see how he really made his money. Perry then rambles about killing Dodd-Frank and talks about how regulations are strangling America. He adds that he will get rid of some of the financial regulators. He didn’t say “all of them”.

Responding to Perry, as this is the Romney variety hour, Mitt blames the Chinese and their cheating ways for closing down the steel mills Rick Perry was blaming Mitt for closing. Romney says that he agrees with Perry about regulations but never really defends himself in a proper fashion other than pointing his finger at China. Romney, on the regulations issue, claims that he will end all Obama era regulations. I guess the regulations from the Bush era, the Clinton era and all other eras aren’t important.

So just when you think that’s over, Gerald Seib asks Romney a question! Fucking hell! Romney answers the question, which was abut his experience at Bain. He says that they often times consolidated plants and factories and if they closed one down, the workers were free to move to the new plant or factory. He points out though that many workers didn’t move as the new jobs didn’t come with union support.

Ron Paul is asked about his “scathing” attack ads and whether or not such ads should be abandoned. Well, considering he’s running them, I doubt he’ll feel that they should be abandoned, duh! Paul responds by saying that he is exposing voting records and in that case, his “attacks” are proper. He goes on to say that he couldn’t fit everything he wanted to in his anti-Santorum ad as there wasn’t enough time to get it all in. He then goes on to list all the dumb crap that Santorum voted for.

Thin skinned piss boy Rick Santorum says that Paul is quoting Soros-like leftist groups which discredits his facts because leftist groups attack conservatives. Santorum basically says that being attacked by leftist groups is a badge of honor and he’s proud of the distinction. What a stupid fucktard! It doesn’t matter what the source is, the fact is the facts are FACTS! You can’t just ignore your own voting record and try to spin it to the public as leftist propaganda! Santorum who voted for No Child Left Behind says that he would veto it now. Of course he would, he’s pandering to South Carolinians. He then defends his vote against “right to work” as he says that Pennsylvania wasn’t a “right to work” state. Santorum who is outraged over the attacks on himself is then put on the spot by Juan Williams who asks if Santorum’s own attack ads should be pulled. The crowd boos Juan because they are idiot assholes and Santorum goes on to says that his attacks are “positive”. He then gets all bitchy with Mitt about his attack ads while citing the fact that it is Martin Luther King Day to make some dimwitted point. Why do people support this whiney juvenile brat?

Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum get in a spat about whether or not people who have committed violent crimes should be allowed to vote. I get bored to tears listening to them bicker as basically each candidate is trying to steal time from the other in order to make their lame ass points. While I’d like there to be some blood in these things, pink ass bitch blood isn’t as cool to see as the reddish bad ass real American blood. I was really just staring in awe waiting for these two Tinas to breakout with some limp-wristed slap fighting. And just when you think it’s over, Rick Perry jumps in the battle over who has the filthiest tampon.

Time monopolizer Mitt Romney is asked about Jon Huntsman’s recent criticism even though he came out and endorsed him. He is also asked how he can convince the voter that he won’t change his views in the future as he has a career as a flip-flopper. Mittens rambles on and on about how he was a pro-life governor contrary to popular belief and that he has always opposed gay marriage. However he adds that he is for equal rights for everyone including gays. Okay, so how is denying them marriage equal? Damn these Orwellian characters! Romney ends his soulless rant by saying that everything he has ever done and will do is about “strengthening America.”

In an effort to make himself relevant again, Rick Perry said that Texas was under assault by the federal government and then added that South Carolina was at war with Obama. The cheap pop attempt works and the crowd goes crazy. Too bad Perry is crazier than the crowd, he’s still deader than shit in this race. Perry talks about how the federal government is taking states to task on voter ID laws and immigration. He then says that Obama is at war with organized religion. Damn, Perry likes throwing the word “war” around. I’m starting to think he either doesn’t know what it means or it is just the answer to everything. “Obama is at war with peanuts! Send troops to the peanut farm! Obama is at war with puppies! Secure the entrance to PetLand!” Perry finishes by saying that Obama is out of control yet he fails to realize that he is foaming at the mouth and tweaking like an infant after two double espressos.

Santorum is asked if he would extend benefits for unemployment. Ricky Boy says that we need a reasonable time table for people to find a job but points out that 99 weeks is just too much. He goes on to say that this should be handled by the states and not the federal government. He calls for a job training program to be a part of unemployment benefits. Okay broski, how much will that shit cost? I’d imagine such a program would be expensive and even if we shortened the time one could collect benefits, the cost of this program could make all that moot. Truthfully, with the government being as wasteful as it is, this may cost us a shitload more than our current dilemma of 99 weeks. Also, when the hell has government done anything well? They certainly can’t offer a jobs program that will benefit anyone.

Gingrich jumps in the mix and agrees with Santorum that there should be a job training program. Okay idiots, what jobs are they training for and what happens when someone is six weeks into a program and decides that whatever they are training for is stupid and they want to get training in something else? Are people allowed to drop out and start over elsewhere and if so, how many times could they do this? Maybe once they start in something they are forced to finish it in order to get their benefits. Realistically, all this will do is waste more money as they will obviously stay in the program, collect the benefits and rack up more debt due to the cost of training them. What happens when they get out of the program? Well, I doubt they’d look for a job in the field they trained in if they grew to dislike it. Essentially this is a lose-lose for everyone but these statist shitcocks are blind to that reality. Newt Gingrich closes his statements on job programs by saying, “I’ll help you if you think helping yourself is good.” I shouldn’t even have to spell out what is wrong with that statement and I’m not going to.

Mitt Romney gives us another soulless rant. In this one he bitches about Obama’s business practices and use of crony capitalism. Romney says that the system of laws we have now work and that we don’t need government regulation. Is he living under a goddamned rock? The system of laws we have now IS government regulation. He adds that we need to open up markets and stop bailing people out. Right, he really wants to have free trade after all the smack he’s talked about China.

The idiot from Wall Street Journal Mr. Seib asks Ron Paul to explain his stance on cutting defense and more importantly on how his military plans would not cost South Carolinians jobs. Really? Is this a real question? Is this the best guy they could find to sit on the moderators’ panel? Ron Paul says that the moderator is confused about his position. He adds that he wants to cut military spending not defense and once again finds himself having to explain to the establishment conservatives for the umpteenth time over the course of these debates what the difference is between the two. Ron Paul says that cutting back on bases overseas would actually affect other countries not the United States. In fact, the U.S. would benefit greatly by bringing our troops home. Paul adds that the idea that this would make us weaker is “absolutely wrong”. Ron Paul is right on this because our presence is spread too thin throughout the world. He then points out that he raises more than twice as much money from the active duty military than all the other candidates combined! Slam dunk bitch! Watching this exchange is like watching Dr. Paul educate ADD-afflicted kindergartners in a college poli-sci class. Ron Paul finishes by quoting Eisenhower who warned about the “military industrial complex”. Paul slam dunks again when says, “We’re supposed to be conservative and that means spend less money!”

All the candidates are asked what the tax rate would be under them. Rick Perry says he will shoot for a 20 percent flat tax rate. Rick Santorum gives a weird answer because he’s probably never thought about this. Romney says that he would get us down to 25 percent but that is still too much. Newt calls for a 15 percent flat tax. Ron Paul then says that he would try to get us down to zero percent! He points to the fact that we didn’t have income tax before 1913 (well, excluding the Civil War era). His proposal is a reflection of how much he wishes to cut spending but the morons in the room can’t put two and two together and probably just think that Ron Paul’s still that crazy kook at the end of the bar. Paul also says that inflation is a tax and if he stopped inflation, we would be freed up from its hidden taxation.

Mitt Romney is asked if he will release his tax records soon. He gargles something about McCain and Bush and says that he hasn’t planned on releasing them. He says that he isn’t opposed to doing it however. He is then asked about his ties to Mexico and the crowd boos at the question. He is asked that if he has close ties to Mexico, why doesn’t he work towards helping Latinos and does he feel like his actions are alienating the Latino voters. Mitt says that Latinos, like all people, are interested in America because it is an “opportunity nation”. Mitt adds that he must communicate to all people that America can be better. He says that illegal immigrants shouldn’t be showed favoritism over those who have been waiting in line legally to enter this country. He then throws in that he would veto the DREAM Act.

Santorum starts pushing some mumbo jumbo about how if people get married before having children it’ll keep them out of poverty. He then blames Obama for everything and bitches about how public schools can’t promote marriage anymore. Santorum says that Obama is “..deliberately sabotaging young girls.” And Ron Paul is the crazy kook?

The moderators then ask Dr. Paul about racial disparities in drug related arrests and convictions. Paul says that it is very clear that racial disparity exists in both those convicted of drug charges and those sentenced to the death penalty. Paul points out that murderers often times get out of jail before drug offenders. He says that the drug war is bringing violence to our border and that it is the real border security issue of today.

Newt Gingrich is criticized about recent comments he made about blacks needing to ask for jobs instead of food stamps. He’s asked if he sees this sort of rhetoric as insulting to blacks, if not all people. Of course Gingrich says it isn’t insulting. He tells some weak story about how his daughter was a janitor at thirteen and how she loved making money and therefore black people should like it too. Juan Williams presses Newt further but gets booed by the South Carolinians in the crowd. What the fuck? Between this and the Romney-Mexico issue, these people are coming off as backwoods bigoted rednecks and people wonder why Republicans have that sort of stereotype! Newt adds that Obama has put more people on food stamps than any other president. While this may be true, it was the Bush administration that really got that ball rolling for Obama. In the end, Newt Gingrich doesn’t explain how his ideas help blacks, he just brushes it off and doesn’t bother dispelling the concerns brought up by the only minority on the stage or on the panel as a chorus of boos continue to be directed at that minority.

Ron Paul is then asked about comments he never made that he supposedly didn’t want to track down Osama bin Laden. Dr. Paul informs the moderators that he never said such a thing and that he voted for the military to apprehend the Al-Qaeda leader. Paul says his frustration was in how the situation was handled as we had the guy cornered before and didn’t go after him, instead we fucked around for a decade and then finally nabbed him almost ten years after 9/11. Paul adds that he wanted a properly executed mission but the whole situation was handled awfully. He then says that we need to respect other nations’ sovereignty and we need to follow proper procedures and not dig bigger holes for ourselves. Bret Baier takes a jab at Ron Paul and says that his stance on taking down terrorists is “to the left of Obama”. Ron Paul points out that we went in and got Saddam Hussein quickly. He then questions why acting quickly, capturing the enemy and detaining them to ask them questions is a bad thing yet waiting a decade and then flat out killing them is perceived as great.

Gingrich is asked if he would go into Pakistan to kill terrorists without getting permission from Pakistan first, even if doing so would end our relationship with Pakistan. Newt doesn’t answer the question, he just immediately attacks Ron Paul and says that Dr. Paul’s stance on foreign policy is “irrational”. Gingrich continues to ignore the question and goes on to just talk shit about Pakistan for continually reaping the benefits of foreign aid but not helping us militarily. Yep, because giving foreign aid apparently isn’t an act of kindness it is a transaction where we buy the countries we “aid”. Gingrich then channels Andrew Jackson and says, “Andrew Jackson had a clear cut idea about Americas enemies…KILL THEM!” This soundbite was met with thunderous applause because just like the establishment dickheads on stage, the majority of the South Carolinians in that building would rather murder someone who doesn’t like us than attempt to work towards a peaceful resolution.

Ron Paul then responds to Newt by saying that if other countries did to us what we do to them, we wouldn’t be cool with it. He then goes on to use the “golden rule” example and the rude crowd starts booing Ron Paul loudly! These people are sick! They are very vocally supporting murder and want to hear nothing of peace. This is the Republican stereotype that will continue to keep sane people away from their party. Paul doesn’t falter like other candidates however. He powers through his points, despite the evil jeers of the scumbags booing. Those of us that don’t condone unjustified cold-blooded murder and imperialism cheer from our living rooms because the oldest man in the room stood strong against the vehement hatred and hunger of hundreds of establishment zombies who only call a man crazy because they don’t have the brain power to understand him. I think it was Dave Chappelle who once said that people use the word “crazy” to describe things that they don’t understand. At this point, it doesn’t matter how many times Dr. Paul tries to educate the idiots, eventually you’ve got to just accept the fact that some people are ignorant and move on. Hopefully Dr. Paul learned this lesson but kudos to him for not faltering before these assholes. Another lesson learned, South Carolinians are rude as fuck.

So immediately after the sane man made his statements, Mitt Romney essentially went on a rant that we’ve got to “Kill! Kill! Kill!” and he actually said, “A bullet in the head is the right course of action.” Yep, this also got thunderous applause from the pro-murder sect of the Republican Party. Romney then went on to say that he would build a military so strong that no one would test the United States and thus, it would keep us out of war. He does realize that we go to war with everyone else first, not the other way around, right? I know.. I know, I’m giving this haircut too much credit.

Rick Santorum gets in ”Kill! Kill! Kill!” mode as well and starts bashing Obama for being what he deems as pro-Assad because we put an embassy in Syria. Yeah dude, why reach out and try to build a relationship when you can just shove bombs down their throats?! Santorum spins it into Obama being anti-Israel as Syria is in bed with Iran. Of course the racist “bomb the world” crowd cheers and cheers.

Perry has to get some ”Kill! Kill! Kill!” action too! He says that he wants to send a powerful message to Iran, Syria and Turkey. He takes a little bitch shot at Ron Paul because he’s a pandering redneck dickweed. He then goes on to defend the Marines that pissed on the dead Taliban soldiers which gets the asshole crowd on their feet. I get this feeling in my gut that the Sith have finally come out of hiding. Perry rambles on and on about decapitated soldiers in an attempt to excuse the heinous acts of our Marines. He then tries to explain that Obama is to blame as his bad policies affected the military. Huh? What? Is this dude drinking all the left over vaccinations he couldn’t force into young girls’ arms?

Here’s the kicker of the night however. Mitt Romney was asked about NDAA and he actually says that he would have signed it into law as Obama has! Romney gets a chorus of boos from the asshole crowd but this time I agree with them. Mitt demands more time so he can explain himself; time is granted and then he just rambles incoherently about it and about expanding military power. Okay, so unless you have been in the dark for months, Mitt Romney is for a Nazi-like law that allows the military to arrest and detain American citizens without due process! This guy is leading in the polls people!

Oh wait! Rick Santorum is also on board and he even tries to dispel concerns about the law proving that he is completely ignorant on the subject and incompetent as a decision maker. What does that tell you when a guy who has been a Washington insider, as long as Rick Santorum has, can’t understand a law that he is reading. Then again, the prick never even probably thumbed through the evil bill.

They quickly move over to Ron Paul and change the subject. Paul, who has been a big critic of the NDAA bill, requests time to talk about the issue. Paul is given the opportunity by the moderators. He talks about how the bill is tyrannical and how it destroys the 4th Amendment and our constitutional rights. He says that Americans being held indefinitely without habeas corpus is a horrible thing.

On sacred cow entitlements, Romney says that he would adopt the Paul Ryan Plan in regards to dealing with the Medicare problem. He goes on to say that he would provide “..higher benefits for lower income people and lower benefits for higher income people.” Yep, he’s not a progressive shitbag. Newt calls for the Chilean model on Social Security and adds that Social Security under his plan would be voluntary.

Rick Santorum is asked if his jobs plan is crony capitalism as it seems to pick winners and losers. Ricky Boy says that he would cut corporate taxes for everybody, so it’s fair. He then rants and raves about foreign competition. When the hell did our leaders turn into such pussies, so afraid of foreign competition? Man the fuck up and compete bitch! He then goes on to whine about regulations. Wait, isn’t he responsible for a lot of those? Baier signals that his time is up and Santorum snaps at Baier like the little Yorkshire lapdog bitch that he is. No one wants to hear your boring rant dipshit! Not even Fox News who has been the only force pimping you out! Santorum’s tantrum then turns over to Newt and they bicker back and forth and I zone out and go to the kitchen for a granola bar.

Juan Williams questions Mitt Romney’s consistency and asks him how he is pro-gun rights when he was the first governor to ever sign an assault weapons ban. Mitt tells Juan that he worked with both pro-gun and anti-gun groups on the legislation and they all agreed on it. He even mentions that he took a picture with the leaders of both groups when the bill was signed. He then talks about hunting elk and pheasants. Wow, you’re a tough cookie Mittens!

Santorum is asked about his anti-gun history and he goes on to say that all his votes were supported by the NRA. He said that they supported him signing certain laws because if they didn’t something worse might come down the pipeline. Oh c’mon! What a crock of shit! So you eat a small piece of poop today because you fear that if you don’t there might be a big piece of poop tomorrow?! No dude, you stand by your convictions and you kick both piles of poop and call it a day. Santorum is such a weak pushover hoe. He lets fear dictate his life, whether that’s fear of hypothetical future legislation or fear of a God he doesn’t even understand. Rick Santorum is of the old establishment mentality that you have to take away some rights in order to protect other rights. This guy is beyond stupid.

This discussion about guns carries over to Ron Paul who says that gun laws should be left to the state. Santorum then has to make it known that Ron Paul tried to do away with the 2nd Amendment! Really? God, doesn’t the Bible talk ill of liars? There goes Ricky Boy disappointing Jesus again! Ron Paul says that he would repeal anything that would ban guns. He then points out that Rick Santorum is just nibbling away at the Constitution for his own means.

Newt Gingrich goes on to defend himself from being accused of supporting China’s “one child policy”. He says that he never, in any way, supported that policy. He and Mitt then get into a pointless quarrel over Super PACs. Mitt days that he would get rid of Super PACs as they are corrupt and wrong. Rick Perry then closes out the debate talking about troops on the border and “aviation assets”. In his funny Texan accent he promises to “..lock the border down within a year after taking my hand off of that Bible.”

This debate was hard to watch. The audience was absolutely awful and even though I talked some shit about South Carolina, I hope that their attitudes and behavior doesn’t reflect that of the rest of the state. I guess we’ll find out as the next debate is also in South Carolina. If the crowd at that one is just as ridiculous, it’ll deter me from ever wanting to set foot in that state again!

In the end, Ron Paul did well, even with the whole world seemingly against him. It wasn’t his best performance but it was solid enough. I believe that Romney walked away weak, especially after his NDAA comments. Plus he just pandered and filibustered most of the debate. Newt did really well despite the Fox News and Wall Street Journal moderators trying to “gotcha” him to death and hang him out to dry. Rick Santorum is going to end up sucking gay dicks in Hell so I don’t care about him. Perry is probably going to drop the fuck out because again, he’s deader than shit in this race.

I tried to keep this one short and sweet but these idiots just give you so much material to rip apart and bash.

This debate was awesome! No, it wasn’t necessarily the best as far as content and hammering home runs but it was by far the most entertaining. There were fights, poking, prodding and almost a few punches thrown in. In fact, I have never seen Mitt Romney turn so red. It was great and the best part was that the three candidates I like the least looked like the biggest bitches of the night. How so? Well, let me break down the debate and expose the little hoes for their little hoe actions while the adults and misfits in the room just stared on in gleeful excitement of what should have been a few campaign implosions. Of course there aren’t any implosions because the media has to continue to prop up their golden boys.

To start, we are given Anderson Cooper as the moderator of the debate. I like having one moderator and I like Cooper much better than throat-gurgler John King and the man with the coolest name ever Wolf Blitzer. Coop did a good job at keeping the debate moving, probably better than any moderator on any other channel. He also stirred the pot in a good way to get the trio of prima-donnas worked up just enough to make for great television. My hat, if I were currently wearing one, would be tipped for Mr. Cooper.

The debate started off with the generic introductions. Santorum came out and waved to the crowd like a dork dick. He used his kids for an early cheap pop from the crowd and came off as a lame ass. Bachmann was smiling so wide that you couldn’t see her eyes. She was dressed like a cast member of ‘The Love Boat’. Ron Paul referred to himself as the “champion of liberty”, which he is compared to this bunch. Cain said he’s a problem solver and Mitt said he was as well. Mitt’s already jacking for beats. Perry calls himself an “authentic conservative not a conservative of convenience.” Ex-Democrats are funny. Newt then steps up and just lets us know that he’s up in the house in rabid honey badger form!

Hey, there’s no Jon Huntsman! Oh, that’s because he is boycotting Vegas because of some early primary drama or something. It’s pretty goddamned stupid to boycott a pivotal debate when your numbers are so dismal but whatever. In any event, this was Jon Huntsman’s best debate yet! Santorum was also supposed to boycott but apparently he doesn’t stand by what he says. He should have because he failed in this debate and looked like a total fucking bitch. In fact, let me break down Racquetball Rick’s performance at the Las Vegas debate.

Rick Santorum, the poster boy for Penn balls, starts off his portion of the debate jumping in on the 999 bashing. He claims that Cain’s 999 Plan is not good for families. Rick Santorum isn’t good for anyone, plain and fucking simple. Santorum also squeezes in some time to suck the peepees of Romney and Perry when the discussion of job creation comes up. Santorum is a panderer who knows he will lose and is trying to butter up the golden boys in an effort to get a job when his teaching gig at the tennis club is over.

However, just to set himself apart in a wasted no-win effort, Santorum drags the Romneycare skeleton back out of the closet. When Mitt dismisses it and promises to kill Obamacare no matter what, Santorum has a meltdown and acts like the biggest bitch ever; I think his water must’ve broke! In fact, Santorum talks over Mitt and runs down Mitt’s time to respond and when the time runs out, Santorum gladly taunts Mitt by saying, “You’re out of time Mitt!” Wow, what a fanciful tactic employed by such a worthless maroon. This would not be the only time Mitt faced some heat. All this did though was make Santorum look like a bratty child and it hurt his run for the White House.

Santorum, the time thief, then gets into a spat with Rick Perry which is also a waste of time since it is between these two. He goes on some pro-relgio-family rant that no one is paying attention to. Santorum is asked if what religion a candidate is is important. He responds with values, values, morals, morals, family, family, faith, faith, Jesus, amen. When the issue of military spending comes up, Santorum promises not to cut a penny and says that it is the president’s job to protect the people. If that’s true, Obama better step in homie and protect you from yourself because every time you open your mouth it is like witnessing career suicide. And that’s basically it for Santorum.

Where’s Gary Johnson?

The next candidate I should examine is Michele Bachmann. Like Santorum and Huntsman, I can’t believe she is still in this race. I guess performing in Vegas for the GOP crowd with Wayne Newton in your corner is a potential campaign booster but I doubt it will matter here. In fact, it really doesn’t. Bachmann just does her Bachmann schtick and unless she is giving out free concert tickets like she did in Iowa for straw poll votes, she’s pretty much a non-contender at this point.

Somehow, Bachmann was lucky enough to get the first question from Anderson Cooper. She used this opportunity to jump right into bashing Herman Cain’s 999 Plan. She went as far as to say it could become 90-90-90. Yeah, that’s pretty extreme lady, even for the federal government. Scare tactics, even ones that carry some truth, eventually backfire. Bachmann goes on to explain, from her POV, that the 999 Plan is just going to open the door for a VAT tax. She’s not necessarily wrong here. It amazes me though that Bachmann has 5 years more experience in politics than Herman Cain does. He’s so smooth and calculating while she just feeds into my worst media-manufactured fears about her.

At some point during the debate when others are talking, Bachmann keeps calling out “..Anderson, Anderson, Anderson..” like Mr. Cooper is one of her 9,743 foster kids. She goes on some generic “repeal, repeal, repeal” spiel and tells us to visit MicheleBachmann.com. I guess she’s running a special Tea party Beanie Baby sale or something. With her weird cruise director-style frosted white shirt and crazed look, I can’t help but think she looks like a piece of fascist angel food cake.

When it comes time to talk about illegal immigration, Bachmann admits that not only does she want to build a fence, she wants to build a double fence! Whoa! Lady that’s crazy! I thought you were a “fiscal conservative”? Isn’t a double fence essentially two fences? And aren’t two fences twice as expensive as one fence? Maybe the fence store is running a two-for-on special on fences this week. If that’s the case, I guess she can somewhat claim the title of “fiscal conservative” but realistically, even one fence is expensive as hell.

Other Bachmann highlights are that she says she will enforce English as the language of America. Not sure how she’ll enforce it but it sounds like something a neocon would say right before putting a gun to your head. Bachmann says she is concerned about magnets. Apparently, those pesky illegals get stuck to them and we can’t get them off. Bachmann also says that she spends most of her time talking to moms. One has to wonder if they are real moms or her alter-egos. She’s stealing a page from the Palin playbook with her mom comment but at least she didn’t call them grizzly bears or bullfrogs or whatever. Bachmann goes on to sell us on the Iran charade about them wanting to eat our kids and blast us with bombs they don’t have. Bachmann has no real answers to any real questions except the one about Israel. She basically says she’ll throw money at them which gets a cheap pop from the crowd. Closing out the night Bachmann says she is the “most different” candidate from Obama on the stage. Nope, Ron Paul is lady. You’re just shit smeared on burnt toast.

Next up is Captain Boring a.k.a. Rick Perry. This guy is dry, humorless and a horrible wordsmith. Between the long pauses and the staring off into space, Perry’s verbalized thoughts were incredibly hard to follow. He has no substance, just very boring talking points and a haircut.

Rick Perry also jumps on the anti-999 train, as it is the popular thing to do. He goes off on Cain about his plan even though he has no plan of his own. As he says at every debate, his plan is “on the way”. After the 999 exchange, Perry goes on some sort of energy speech/rant that gets some applause. I think they were just clapping because he finished a thought albeit somewhat sluggishly. It was hard to follow what he was saying as it was about as coherent as my drunk Uncle Seymour singing Klingon opera over Soulja Boy beats.

Perry claims that Texas has one of the best medical systems in the world which brings up the discussion about creating magnets for illegal aliens. This discussion almost turns into an all out war between Perry and Romney. Perry claims that Romney knowingly hired illegal aliens to work in his mansion, which sets Romney off. Romney tries to argue back but Perry, like Santorum, talks over Romney trying to sabotage his defense and use up his time. Romney gets angrier and angrier and visibly turns red. The Mormon fire is burning inside! However, the Texas fire is burning too! Both guys take some low blows and some cheap shots and no one really cares about the substance, we just want to see a fight. Man, I wish they would’ve started swinging so it would kill both of their campaigns. Then again, people would probably applaud it and both would skyrocket in the polls. Where I stand, these guys failed miserably, as did Santorum. My three least favorite candidates looked like a trio of whiney emotional tools.

Other Perry highlights include him calling for a virtual defense program over a fence. He also mentions that drones are being trained. I guess he thinks drones are people. Aw.. that’s kinda cute. Perry is a special fella. Perry goes on to punk out Bachmann on her double fence talk however it backfires as all his two-year-old bitching is getting him, at this point, is boos. One good thing Perry does say though, is that we need to seriously look at the issue of foreign aid and that we need to defund the UN. Perry then claims he made Facebook, eBay and Caterpillar or something like that. He did work for Al Gore so I can see where those sort of delusions may have come from.

Looking at Mitt Romney’s performance is tedious. Yes he looks presidential and he even acts presidential considering that the last handful of them were pandering thieving lying douches. In fact, he is also a copycat as he goes right after Cain’s 999 Plan to kick off his side of the debate. Mitt and Herman exchange blows and their argument does nothing to convince me that either is right in their stance.

Apart from the War of the Haircuts between Mittens and Perry, there weren’t many Mitt highlights. He spent most of his time defending himself while being talked over. He also turned a weird shade of red a few times. However a few notable things were that he pimped out states’ rights and he showed that he has more catchphrases than the Rock. He also tried to educate Ron Paul on foreign policy but this was like watching a preschooler telling a surgeon how to do open heart surgery. Mitt did have a great diss though when he equated Perry’s experience as governor to a college football coach that has lost 40 games.

Newt Gingrich was somewhat of a savior for the debate as Anderson Cooper usually went to him after the children in the room were having a spat. Newt in his cool, calm and collective way worked the room like a goddamned mastermind and once again shined and earned the respect of those watching. As I’ve said several times, I do not fully agree with Newt’s policies but goddamn he’s a leader and a fucking statesman. I used to loathe this guy and he has won me over which is damn near impossible to do once you’ve made it on my shit list. Newt has done just that though and I love watching this guy debate. He’d eat up Obama like a Kid Cuisine. If Ron Paul wasn’t in this race, I’d probably vote for Newt. Unfortunately, Gary Johnson, my second choice, gets no respect and he can’t gain momentum without being invited to the debates.

Newt also gets involved in the 999 debate and says that there are a lot more complexities to the plan than Herman Cain is letting on. I agree. Newt gives Cain props for bringing us something real to discuss and look at but he can’t fully support the idea. Newt goes on to call out Romney as a big government stooge with his Romneycare plan. Mitt then rebuttals Newt with a lie about Newt and Newt quickly checks his ass like Wolverine backhanding a stray cat. Newt don’t care! Newt don’t give a shit! “Watch out”, says that bird!

Herman Cain, who surged after the last debate, had a pretty weak performance in my opinion and I believe it is because his lack of political experience is finally showing. As the debate started with everyone attacking his 999 Plan, he really did nothing to defend it. He continually told everyone that they were wrong, regardless of their information. He told everyone to read the plan and to do their own math. Sorry brother but this isn’t going to fly. You can’t keep telling people to read it, you have to educate the people first and get them passionate about it. If you don’t have the ability to defend your plan without just brushing off criticism as being wrong, then no one will care. My biggest fear is that Cain really has no rebuttal because all the critics are right. By how this has been handled by Cain himself, I’m siding with the critics. Besides, everything they’ve said, I’ve thought about myself before this debate. After reading the bill, I can’t find anything in it to correct or even soothe these concerns. All Cain really gives us is talk of “apples and oranges”. He seems to get really flustered by all the haters and his tone changes a bit with each candidate who doubts him. As pimpalicious as Cain can be, he showed signs of having thin skin.

Getting away from the 999 issue, Cain tells us that we need to repeal Obamacare and look at revisiting bill HR 3400 as a way to help solve the issues with health care in this country. I’ll have to read up on that. Cain also mentions that we need to promote our path to citizenship in an effort to help alleviate the illegal alien issue. Cain owns up to flip-flopping on TARP. He’s had many other economic follies however. Cain says the anger of the Occupy Wall Street Movement is misdirected yet he takes a bullet for the Federal Reserve again. Cain is a minion of the Fed, that much is clear at this point. This spawns into an argument with Ron Paul about the tyranny of the Federal Reserve, which I’ll touch on in a bit.

Cain tells us he will not negotiate with terrorists under any circumstances which contradicts something he said in an interview earlier in the day before the debate. Cain closes out the night by pimping his skills at running small companies. I never knew that Coca-Cola, Burger King, Godfather’s Pizza, Pillsbury, Nabisco, Whirlpool and Reader’s Digest were small companies. Surprising, because I see them everywhere.

Ron Paul probably had his best debate yet. He starts by calling the 999 Plan dangerous and that we need to replace the income tax with nothing! Hell yes! He says that he promises to cut $1 trillion dollars in his first year! Oh hell yeah! I bet “fiscal conservative” Bachmann dropped a turd in her ‘Love Boat’ digs when she heard that. When asked about an alternative to Obamacare, Paul says there needs to be no alternative and that individuals should be allowed to opt out of government medicine if they want to. I can dig that. Ron Paul points out that as soon as the government becomes involved in anything, lobbyists line up.

Ron Paul calls for us to examine the real reasons why illegal aliens flock to America and that we have to end these incentives and promote citizenship. He points out that in a free society the group mentality would dissolve, there would be no more “us versus them”. Herman Cain cuts in to tell us that 999 will give Latinos the American dream. Ron Paul talks about securing the border but shows us our own folly when he informs the clueless pack of non-liberty candidates that they are more concerned with the Afghanistan-Pakistan border than the United States-Mexico border.

On the Yucca Mountain issue, Ron Paul calls for states’ rights and says that no state should be forced to be the other 49 states garbage dump. In this case, Nevada would be made the United States’ nuclear waste dump. This is an issue that gets brushed under the rug, as the only people it really effects is the people of Nevada.

The next big Ron Paul moment came at the expense of Herman Cain when he was compelled to educate Fed insider Cain on the reality of the Federal Reserve, which he willingly took another bullet for. In reference to Occupy Wall Street, Paul tells Cain that we need to take the anger to the Federal Reserve and that we need to understand bubbles and their origin. Paul tells Cain to not trust the government and to put his trust in the marketplace. True words from a real man.

Ron Paul then feels the need to once again educate the candidates and the people watching on the difference between military spending and defense spending. He warns that we are spread too thin all over the world and that we are overextending our resources. He says that we’d be safer if we weren’t in so many places. On foreign aid, Ron Paul refers to it as a system that steals from the poor in a rich country (the United States) and gives to the rich in a poor country. He talks about how our foreign aid makes Israel dependent on us and it prevents them from fully standing on their own two feet. Ron Paul’s shocking honesty is met with gasps because the truth hurts like a motherfucker.

In the end, this was a pretty good debate. The lovers quarrels were entertaining and Anderson Cooper ran a smooth show. Cooper also gave a fair amount of time to everyone for the most part. I felt that Ron Paul was on more of an even playing field with the golden boy candidates and everyone really got their say in about most of the topics. CNN certainly stepped their game up and it was kind of refreshing.

Anyway, this was like the 37th debate and I know we have several dozen more so it is going to be a long road for all of these candidates. I will say this though, it is time for Santorum, Huntsman and Bachmann to drop out. You’re wasting our time and without you there the top tier guys could get more time to hash some shit out. I know, I know.. you’re still in the hunt. You can’t back out yet, you’re all just on the cusp of going from 3% to 4%. Besides, who am I, or anyone else for that matter, to ask for any favors. Ah well, guess I’m stuck watching the preliminary card before the real fight.

Ponzi! Ponzi! Ponzi! There, I said it. To the extent people believe there are trust funds with their names on them, Social Security is absolutely a Ponzi scheme. So is Medicare. People need to hear it.

Many people think that when the government takes payroll tax from their paychecks, it goes to something like a savings account. Seniors who collect Social Security think they’re just getting back money that they put into their “account.” Or they think it’s like an insurance policy—you win if you live long enough to get more than you paid in. Neither is true. Nothing is invested. The money taken from you was spent by government that year. Right away. There’s no trust fund. The plan is unsustainable. Medicare is worse.

Mitt Romney and other Republicans who scoff at Rick Perry shamelessly pander to older voters. They should tell people the truth.

There are too many debates this month. This is the second of three and that’s not counting the Palmetto Freedom Forum that occurred just over a week ago. The candidates must be worn out and I can’t imagine how they’ll be feeling come the next debate, which is just a week away! All this hard work is paying off however, at least for my candidate Ron Paul. After the last two debates and the forum, his support has doubled: in less than two weeks! Is liberty shining through all the bullshit? Man, I fucking hope so!

Being the second CNN debate, I was a little worrisome, as last time I was assaulted by the throat gargling of John King. I was pretty hard on homeboy but that shit did get extremely annoying. Lucky for me, John King was a no show and we were treated to the the legendary prowess of Wolf Blitzer, who can be a douche at times but is still a much better choice to head this debate up than what I am assuming is Larry King’s little brother or son or possibly daughter.

Kicking off the debate is a video introduction that looks like they are introducing the Avengers. This summer blockbuster trailer is kind of cool, well until they get to Ron Paul. Everyone else looked powerful and badass but for Dr. Paul they picked a clip of him looking frail, leaning against a shelf. What the fuck man, can the the media hate for the libertarian guy be any more obvious? Fucking dickholes. Anyway, moving on.

So after the intro video of Earth’s mightiest heroes, Wolf Blitzer called them out one by one in what felt like wrestlers running to the ring at the Royal Rumble. However, none of them had any badass theme music. If I was producing this show, they’d all come out to some generic death metal. I do have to say, love him or hate him (I hate him), even without cool theme music, Rick Perry does look like a fucking president walking across that stage. Too bad he’s an evil bastard, then again most presidents have had a twinge of evil bastard in them.

Wolf introduces some chick to sing the national anthem. No offense but shouldn’t this have been done before the show? There hasn’t been a national anthem televised on any other debate, including the first CNN one, so why is it suddenly necessary? I’d rather have more times for questions. Also, this chick singing is pretty atrocious, not to say that I wouldn’t hit it though. Bachmann looks enthralled with her however. I can almost read Michele’s thoughts. She’s saying to herself, “I hope she ate the cheese platter I left her.” I bet Michele did leave her a cheese platter, she is a really nice motherly lady. Enough with this singer though, I’ve heard better from my drunk uncle Titus down at the Winghole on Karaoke Wednesdays.

Next up are the time-wasting introductions.. yawn. Can’t we just get to it already?! We’re thirteen minutes deep at this point! All I got from this was that Ron Paul promises to obey the Constitution and Newt gave a shout out to his homies in 9/12. Odd, considering it is actually 9/12.

Holy shit! Whoa! Stop the press! Wolf Blitzer didn’t start with Rick Perry or Mitt Romney! Are we seeing a change of the guard in the Golden Boy Club? The first question goes to golden girl Michele Bachmann, who isn’t as funny as Bea Arthur, at least not intentionally. The first subject is Social Security.

Michele basically says that she is down with Social Security because it was a promise made decades ago. Basically this pro-constitution fiscally responsible Tea Party darling is cool with socialism as long as it was delivered with a promise. Good job sticking to your guns lady.

Darth Perry who called Social Security a Ponzi scheme last debate, less than a week ago, is now backtracking on that statement. Homie must own more flip flops than Mitt. Perry goes as far as to say that it is “slam dunk guaranteed” that social security will be there for everyone if he is elected president. Romney and Perry then immediately start slapping each other like a couple of old ladies in the Jello line at the nursing home. I tune out mentally and take a big swig of my Stella Artois.

The only people offering real solutions to the Social Security problem are Herman Cain and Ron Paul. Last debate Cain mentioned that we should adopt the Chilean model for reforming Social Security but this debate, he actually has time to break it down for us. Cain’s already off to a great start this debate.

Holy shit, now Newt is on the bandwagon and pimping the Chilean model as well. As he speaks, he gets both cheers and boos and both very loudly. People either love or hate this guy. I’m not a fan policy-wise but I do enjoy his presence in these debates.

Somewhere in the middle of all this Social Security talk, Jon Huntsman refers to Mitt Romney as Kurt Cobain. His pop culture references are twenty years old. He tries to be funny but he fails. He should be on a bad CW buddy sitcom with Rick Santorum called “Just Dicks”.

Santorum speaks, no one cares. Where’s Gary Johnson?

The next part of the debate goes into the budget and general economics. As we face economic peril, these questions are some of the most important of the night. However, most of the answers given were shit.

Newt steps up first and talks about how there is too much waste in government and that by eliminating it we can come closer to balancing the budget. Yeah dude, that’s pretty much common sense and we all already know that. Those of you who aren’t aware of this should probably just go back to bed. Newt goes on to bash the Super Congress, which shouldn’t even exist and he calls for a modernization of the federal government.

Rick Santorum between fixing his racquets says that we need to adopt the Paul Ryan Plan. Most conservatives are on this bandwagon but the truth is, it doesn’t do much to alleviate the problem. Santorum doesn’t live in reality however and neither does anyone else pimping this plan.

Rick Perry is asked if he would cut drug prescription benefits and he says “no”. He obviously likes government spending the way it is. Rick Perry says whatever he needs to say to stay afloat. He is a professional panderer.

Romney promises to cut and cap spending and even wants a balanced budget amendment. Without an amendment the government can’t be fiscally responsible. I’m going to quit paying my bills and just use the excuse that I personally need an amendment to force me to stop buying whiskey, ties and pipe tobacco. Mittens also promises to completely restructure the economy and create jobs in the process. Sounds like sorcery!

Ron Paul says that he is looking for a lot of places to cut. He then goes on to pimp out his anti-war message and receives loud pops from the crowd. He talks about cutting funding to education, national security and energy. All these areas need to be looked at and seriously analyzed, as they suck up a huge portion of our budget. Bringing our damn troops home would also help the budget immensely.

Rick Perry starts regurgitating Tea Party talking points that he stole from a pamphlet he found lying next to the Port-O-Lets at the Tampa Fairgrounds. Huntsman promises to reform the tax code within his first 100 days. Bachmann pats herself on the back per usual and promises to repeal everything. Can we repeal ‘Avatar’ from being made? Can we at least repeal funding going to the production of any sequels? Herman Cain tells the world to go check his 999 Plan but he doesn’t mention the FairTax. I wonder if that is a part of his 999 Plan; I will have to give it a quick read over.

Mitt Romney then comes out and says that, “We are an energy rich nation living like an energy poor nation.” He also says that we’re in a smartphone world and not a payphone world and that Obama is still putting quarters in the payphone or something like that. All I can say is, “Fuck payphones!” Those things are dirty, grimy, germy and stinky. They also smell like hobo nut sweat. All this does though is lead to another spat between Romney and Perry and this one is full of weird poker references and extreme awkwardness by both candidates. Wolf Blitzer blushes when Rick Perry winks at him. Maybe I imagined that part. In any event, Wolf has some obvious man-love for the Texas Gub’ner.

Ron Paul destroys the man-love by pointing out the reality of Rick Perry’s record (I wrote about his record here). Dr. Paul points out that Perry has implemented higher taxes and created more debt in the process. Ron Paul peels back the layers and Perry, looking visibly uncomfortable, just makes wise cracks about Ron Paul. Truth is, the record Perry touts is bullshit. The media doesn’t care though, he’s dreamy!

The next subject to come up is the Federal Reserve. Oddly, not a single fucking question about the Fed or Ben Bernanke went to Ron Paul, who is the chairman of the U.S. House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy. Basically, Ron Paul deals with Bernanke and the Fed on a daily basis! Yet, not a single fucking question went to the expert on the subject.

Former Federal Reserve employee Herman Cain was asked a question however. He was asked if the Fed should be audited. Cain who used to be against auditing the Federal Reserve now says that we should. He says that he doesn’t want to end the Fed but he does want to fix it. That’s not good enough for me, sorry homie.

Michele Bachmann says she would fire Ben Bernanke. Of course she would and so would everyone else up there because to say that you would keep him would be career suicide at this point. Everyone else pretty much says the same thing. Romney insists he will look into the Fed: no he won’t. Rick Perry does backtrack on his remark from two debates back where he called Ben Bernanke “treasonous”. Perry is backtracking and flippin’ the script like a little bitch this round. Starting to see a trend yet?

A young Tea Partier in the crowd asks “How much of my paycheck should I be allowed to keep?” It is a great question that should be asked to every single candidate on that stage, however Wolf Blitzer just asks Jon Huntsman: what a waste. Huntsman, the living embodiment of the politician stereotype, beats around the bush and never truly answers the question. One of the best questions of the night is thrown away like a used condom after sex with a Carson City hooker under an overpass.

A Tea Partier on the giant TV then asks about the FairTax and the question is given to Mitt Romney who doesn’t support it and tries to explain why. The problem is that Mitt obviously doesn’t understand the FairTax and how it works. He claims that it punishes the middle class. Nope dude.. it doesn’t. Go read one of the Boortz books or read any of the countless FairTax articles that are posted on FairTax.org and TheSwash.com. Wolf Blitzer is really good at picking the wrong people to ask specific questions. The audience members that got to participate in the debate were cheated.

Things really start to heat up in a good way when Ron Paul speaks out against the use of executive orders. Dr. Paul says that executive orders should never be used for legislation and that anyone who uses them to make law is not working within the frame of the Constitution. Ron Paul then points out that it was Rick Perry who abused the executive order power in trying to force teen girls to get vaccinated. Rick Perry once again looks uncomfortable and can’t effectively dig himself out of this hole. How could he? There is no excuse for this even though too many people are turning a blind eye to it or somehow accepting it and forgetting it.

Perry tries to get out of the hole by saying he’d use his executive order powers as president to repeal Obamacare. This fucksack just can’t face the goddamned music. Bachmann gets really pissed and informs the idiot Perry that you can’t just repeal it with an executive order, he needs to learn how this shit works. She then goes on and on about parental rights and how Perry violated them and is pretty much an evil fucking bastard.

Of course Wolf Blitzer continually allows Perry to respond to every criticism, which isn’t a luxury that he has been giving to anyone else on the stage. Bachmann isn’t having any of Perry’s shit and she points out that he has close ties with Merck, the drug company behind the vaccination. I remember when I used to tell people this and they called me a “conspiracy nut”. Bachmann is bouncing back in this debate and showing that she’s not ready to leave the hunt.

Suddenly, Rick Santorum starts ripping Rick Perry a new asshole too! This is great. Santorum is an idiot douche but Darth Perry getting slammed has got me cheering on any and all comers that want to challenge the Sith bastard. Perry is crawling in his skin and it’s awesome to watch. Rick Perry literally pulls a shit sandwich out of his jacket pocket and takes a bite. Nomnomnom!

Health care is the next big issue and Herman Cain starts the discussion by saying that he wants to implement a “loser pays” law, as it would help eliminate bad lawsuits against doctors, thus eliminating the high cost of their liability insurance and thus the high cost of health care in general.

Ron Paul says that, “Freedom is about risk”. When it comes to health care it is a person’s responsibility to take care of themselves, just like anything else. However, he points out that the charitable nature of man wouldn’t just let people die in the streets. Being the only doctor on stage and having practiced medicine before all the medical entitlements, he tells us about how even before Medicare and Medicaid all the hospitals he worked in never turned people away. He also talked about how churches and other organizations would work to help the less fortunate as they do now, except they would be even more charitable if their hands weren’t tied due to the cost of health care and the restraints of the over-regulated system.

Some guy from Cincinnati asks the candidates what we should do ’bout all dem Messicans. The first to get on that is Rick Santorum who literally calls for “Stormtroopers” on the border! No, he really called for “Stormtroopers”! Apparently he also wants a super fence and a Death Star pointed at Mexico. Man, I thought Darth Perry was the Sith.

Rick Perry blames the federal government for slacking in taking care of the border issues. Wait, hold up.. this guy calling for states’ rights is now bitching that the feds haven’t taken care of business. The reality of this is that Perry is a lazy fuck when it comes to dealing with the GOP solution on immigration. Homeboy needs to check his record and then he needs to check his ass. He throws in there that a fence won’t work; he’s right about that.

Rick Santorum doesn’t like Perry’s insight about the fence though and he jumps down his throat. Santorum goes on a tirade about speaking English and how he came from immigrants. Yeah dude, we all did except those of us living on reservations.

Bachmann steps into the immigration debate and, as is the trend, she jacks Ron Paul’s platform. Bachmann believes that the real problem is the welfare state and that it needs to be severely reformed to prevent illegal aliens from benefitting from it. Actually honey, it needs to be abolished.

Rick Perry says that he is against amnesty for illegal aliens but is quickly attacked by Jon Huntsman who calls Perry “treasonous” for saying that the border cannot be physically secured by a fence. Perry is right here and Huntsman is just picking a fight to be relevant in this debate. I sort of like Jon Huntsman, simply for the fact that he is a total dick. Huntsman gets some extra points for dissing Homeland Security.

Herman Cain then tells us that he wants to create a “regulatory reduction commission” to overlook government agencies such as the EPA. I like this idea as long as it doesn’t cost a lot of money. Then again, if used correctly, it could save us tons of money and justify the cost of its existence. Then again, when does government do anything right?

Ron Paul is confronted with his vocal opposition to military spending and explains to Wolf Blitzer and the people watching that there is a difference between military spending and defense spending. Yes, there certainly is. Unfortunately the average American citizen and politician can’t wrap their head around that simple bit of logic. This of course angers pretty much everyone in the room and Ron Paul has to explain that jihadists are pissed about our involvement in their lives and the fact that we occupy their countries. He goes on to explain Osama bin Laden’s reasoning for attacking us on 9/11 by using Osama’s own words. The crowd boos because the crowd can’t accept the fact that we have an imperialistic military that steps on nuts all over the world. No! no! no! They just hate us because we’re white and different! We never did anything to piss them off!

Ron Paul’s insightful lesson is followed up by Huntsman saying that we need to get out of Afghanistan. Rick Perry then steps up to the mic and says that it is important to have a military presence in Afghanistan to help them form a civil freedom-loving society. I guess he believes the myth that warring tribes can be civil.

Wolf Blitzer then asks the final question of the night to all the candidates. He asks what each and every one of them would bring to the White House. Santorum says he’d build a room for his kids.. yawn. Ron Paul says he’s bringing Austrian economics and common sense. Newt says something about ballet. Perry says he’s bringing the best First Lady ever. Huntsman says something lame. Bachmann says something crazy. Romney fixes his hair. Cain says he’s bringing a sense of humor. I’m bringing cotton candy.

This debate ends and we’re all left with just a little bit more of the same. I think the most important thing of the night was Rick Perry getting called out on his bullshit and being exposed as an evil Sith bastard. Bachmann earned some respect for going off on the Texas Governor. I also have to give props to Paul for trying to educate the lesser beings to no avail. Don’t worry Dr. Paul, after their campaign staff explains your talking points to them, they’ll steal some of your platform for the next debate.

In the end, this was one of the better debates. I wish certain parts of the debate were better managed and that Wolf Blitzer used better judgment on who to ask specific questions. Ah well, at least we didn’t have that pervert John King making unsexy throat noises. At the end of the day, this is just one of several debates and the road to 2012 is far from over. In fact, we still have a year before we even find out who wins the primary. There’s also another dozen or so debates on the horizon. It’s going to be a long year but at least it has been entertaining. At this point, anything can happen.

1. Introduction:

Is this an unwarranted  smear piece? I know that it may be perceived that way and it is completely justifiable to accuse it as such but I am only stating facts here. The point is, the facts are that bad. Granted my opinion and a bit of name calling will saturate this critique of the GOP’s frontrunner to run against Obama in 2012 but at the end of the day, Rick Perry is still a lying scumbag fuck that needs to be exposed for his lies, his deceit and his apparent lack of humanity. This guy is a vile tyrant and it is no surprise that he is the establishment’s handpicked successor to Barack Obama: almost guaranteed to take the American throne.

Fox News has been sucking this guy’s cock so fucking hard that it is almost sickening to watch. If Perry had foreskin he doesn’t anymore because every time my channel-surfing finger has stopped on Fox News, no matter what time of day, the topic has been Rick fucking Perry. It has gotten so bad that I heard that Fox News is changing its name to the Rick Perry Network. I mean, let’s call a spade a spade because that’s basically what the channel has become.

This Perry love started well before he officially entered the presidential race but it has been insanely magnified the last week since he announced his candidacy. The problem is that all this attention to this election cycle’s “golden boy” takes away time and coverage from the other candidates. The stone cold truth is that they don’t want you to concern yourself with any of the others now that this redneck dragon has pounced on the scene reeking of Aquanet. Hell, they’re already promoting the war of words between Perry and Obama to the point that it looks like he already won the damn primary. Well he hasn’t but apparently Fox News doesn’t care. Their mind is made up and because of that, it just shows how irresponsible they are and that they completely lack any journalistic integrity. The only thing “fair and balanced” over their is the lack of time being given to the other candidates now (well except for Ron Paul and Gary Johnson who are both being ignored).

Rick Perry is not only a horrible candidate to lead this country, he is also a very bad man. Pundits keep saying he is the next George W. Bush, as if that’s a good thing! Some of them are even claiming that he is Reaganesque. Those claiming that are complete fucking morons that just shoot a bunch of shit out of their ass and have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. Rick Perry is definitely not Reagan and he is much worse than Bush II: Back in the Habit. Rick Perry at his core is nothing more and nothing less than terminal fucking cancer eating away at liberty. As harsh as that sounds, after just the next section of this article, you will see why.

2. The Vicious Vaccinator:

It looks like I’m going to hit you with the worst thing first. Why beat around the bush and waste time saving this for the main event on the card? This is the one thing that definitely needs to be brought out in the open for the masses outside of Texas to see. This isn’t something you will hear about on Fox News; well that’s not counting Michelle Malkin, who was the only person with balls big enough to come out this past week and express her distaste for Rick Perry because of this very reason. Thank god it was live because she probably would’ve been edited out otherwise. Of course the host she was talking to just brushed it off like a little bit of dirt on the shoulder.

Nothing Rick Perry has ever done is as inhumane and purely evil as what he did to little girls in Texas. To put it simply, Rick Perry forced young girls in Texas to get vaccinated whether their parents were cool with it or not. Rick Perry used his power to press this medical tyranny on the innocent children of his constituents! Did Perry get away with it? Fuck no! Luckily for the people of Texas the state lawmakers put a stop to Rick Perry’s emperor-like executive order but it doesn’t excuse the fact that Perry was dead set on employing tactics that were reminiscent of Adolf Hitler. For the record, unlike other opinionated commentators and political writers, I don’t throw Nazi comparisons around lightly. This may actually be the first time because typically, I hate when people do it.

When looking a little deeper at this incredibly insane incident, one is left even further aghast by the facts that the media has brushed this under the rug and completely ignored it. You see, the vaccine was Gardasil which has been known to make some people very sick and has even been the cause of death for a few. In his defense, Perry did allow parents the option to opt out. Of course that was difficult and came with a mountain of forms but at least he was open to the concept of allowing parents to attempt to save their daughters from potential death! What a humanitarian!

It’s funny considering that Rick Perry is so vocally opposed to the individual mandate in Obamacare but yet, he was apparently cool with doing this and the ONLY thing that stopped him was dozens of other lawmakers?! Then again in 1993 he did refer to Hillarycare as “most commendable”. Oh yeah, he wrote that after becoming a Republican. If you didn’t know, he was once a Democrat that worked for Al Gore on his 1988 presidential campaign. So where does he stand on all this shit really?

When it comes down to it, why would this follicly formidable fucksack even take a chance on these young girls’ lives? Well, that is because the drug company behind the vaccinations was Merck. You see, Merck and Perry are really tight butt buddies. In fact, Merck contributed heavily to Perry’s gubernatorial campaign and even had in their employ Perry’s ex-Chief of Staff Mike Toomey. This is proof enough for me that Rick Perry is easily bought and just as fucking corrupt as anyone in the Beltway.

The fact that this is not a gigantic dark smear on his campaign is absolutely fucking irresponsible by the mainstream media. The fact that this hasn’t completely ruined the man is mind boggling! The fact that this act wasn’t career suicide is so fucking twisted that it just doesn’t even make any sort of logical sense. The media went ape shit wasting countless months on Obama’s goddamned birth certificate issue but THIS isn’t fucking news?!?! The fact that it isn’t is proof that Fox or any other media outlet that ignores it has the journalistic integrity of Weekly World News.

If you question this, don’t take my word for it, research it yourself. Because as far as I am concerned, after knowing this, anyone who would vote for Perry or just go on ignoring this incident is just as guilty as he is. How could you vote for and support this power hungry megalomaniac almost murderer?

3. The Crown Prince of Porn:

Not only did Rick Perry want to force your daughters to take harmful vaccines but he also wanted to profit off of them in the porn industry. Having invested a significant amount of money into a company that has produced such titles as “Teens Never Say No”, “Teens with Tits”, “Bisexual Barebacking” and “Big Tit Brotha Lovers” shows that Mr. Conservative Rick Perry is a real winner and an icon of morality that deserves our admiration. Now I truly understand why Sean Hannity wants to roll around in barrels of this guy’s cum.

Now I’m not bashing pornography in general; I watch it, I like it and if that is your source of income then do your thing! However I am against a guy who is supposedly this morally superior god-fearing conservative that is really just a hypocrite making serious cheese off of what many consider a morally questionable industry. Granted, this isn’t as bad as forcing needles into the arms of children but it is still worth pointing out.

You see, way back in 1995, Mr. Perry invested in the company Movie Gallery, which is a rather large video rental chain that I am sure most of you have heard of. I used to rent movies there all the time and on my way out I’d grab a box of Nestlé Sno-Caps and a 1L bottle of Dr. Pepper. Movie Gallery was the fucking shit and I always liked them over Blockbuster. One of the main reasons was because their rental fees were really goddamned cheap. The reason for this was because they made a shit ton of money being the largest distributor of pornography in America at that time. Selling porn made so much money that they could price their regular rentals lower than the competition. It always helps to have a second stream of income, doesn’t it?

While Rick Perry was making serious money off of his secret stash of smut, he was parading around with some of the same Christian groups that were out trying to stop and boycott companies like Movie Gallery for pimping this stuff out. What side was Perry on? On a side note: one of these “Christian” groups is now considered “terrorists” by the way. But hey, Slick Rick had a responsibility to make the voters happy, especially the religious right but he also had to make some money. In the end however, his true colors shined bright! Cha-ching!

Now Governor Perry would go on to pass laws that would protect companies like Movie Gallery from lawsuits after they were allegedly caught violating the law by illegally distributing porn across state lines. He even went on to refer to the lawsuit against Movie Gallery as “frivolous”. I guess when it came down to it, fattening his bottom line was more important than representing the people who voted him in power. Seems like a trend between Movie Gallery and Merck. I’m sure cash and kickbacks are a prime motivator for Rick Perry. Is that the type of guy you want leading this country?

Also, I don’t have an issue with porn. In fact, I worked in the industry briefly as a bodyguard. However, I know that a lot of you voting for Perry are true Christian conservatives and I know that this probably doesn’t sit well with you. Perry, contrary to what the glowing box in your living room tells you, is not a true conservative out to protect your rights and support the things you stand for. Realistically, Perry isn’t going to support anything any of us stand for unless there’s a lucrative incentive.

4. The Anti-Capitalist Capitalist:

Rick Perry and his billion-dollar propaganda department on cable television have most of you believing that he is a free market guy. These mindless pundits are pimping out his pro-capitalist panache with unrivaled enthusiasm. The truth is, it’s all bullshit. Perry is not this great free market wizard that the talking heads on the red channel want you to believe. In fact, his record is more like the so-called progressive heroes that you see on the blue channel. As far as economics go, Perry is pretty much a big pile of dog shit. I’m about to give you a fuckload of reasons why.

To start, Rick Perry loves those motherfucking taxes. In fact, since he took office back in 2000, he has not cut taxes at all. On the other hand, this “fiscal dynamo” has supported several tax hikes, as well as new state business taxes, a business property tax, a cigarette tax, a fireworks tax and a toll road tax. Back in the day, as a Democrat, he supported a 5.7 billion dollar tax hike, the largest in Texas history!

What about cutting spending? Nope! The only thing this turkey cut was the concept of fiscal responsibility from his platform. When Perry took office after George W. Bush, state spending was at 49 billion dollars. Right now under Perry, spending is at 92.5 billion dollars. Well, at least he didn’t double it.. yet. Although Rick Perry has nearly tripled the state debt, as in 2000 it was at 13.4 billion dollars compared to today’s 37.3 billion dollars! The debt to GDP ratio is 22.9 percent, which equates to $10,645 per citizen. Now compare that to the 18.7 percent/$9,932 per citizen in the economically ravaged California. Dude’s a fucking rockstar of crap! I mean the debt in Texas under Perry has grown faster than the federal debt under George W. Bush and Barack Obama! Now that’s a fucking accomplishment!

Rick Perry also supported TARP because obviously he’s a real intelligent guy. He also authored a piece of legislation that tripled the amount of money that state legislators make. He received a bunch of farm subsidies. He signed into law the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan which is just climate change bullshit. He supported Lance Armstrong’s 3 billion dollar medical research center, which was obviously paid for with Texans’ tax dollars. He secured a 300 million dollar business handout slush fund, which was just corporate welfare for his friends and colleagues. 20 million of that went to Countrywide Financial which ended up going bankrupt anyway. He also supported Rudy Giuliani last election, who was the frontrunner in 2008 but eventually fell flat on his face.

When it comes to jobs and unemployment, Rick Perry isn’t as badass and effective as he and all the pundits claim. In fact, there are 23 states that have a lower unemployment rate than Texas and this is taking into account the huge Texas oil boom. Also, weekly wages increased about 5 percent in the United States from 2007 to 2011. In Texas however, they only raised by 0.6 percent. Texas also has the largest percentage of workers in the country making minimum wage. In fact, in 2007 221,000 Texans were making minimum wage or less. In 2011 that number has skyrocketed to 550,000! That’s more than double in just four years!

Rick Perry is a blatant liar about his economic credentials or he is just completely delusional, as is anyone who defends him after knowing the facts. Then again, you shouldn’t be selling this douche to the nation without knowing what the actual facts are. To do so is completely irresponsible and doesn’t fix a goddamned thing. In essence, those pushing Perry down our throats are contributing to the dismantling of liberty and the stupidification of America. Fuck you people.

5. The Illegal Immigration Ignorer:

Personally, I am not all that bothered by the huge debate over illegal immigration in this country. I feel that anyone who wants to come here for the right reasons and make a living and truly contribute to bettering America is more than welcome. Yes, I am aware that more often than not, this isn’t the case with many of the illegal immigrants flocking into our country now. However, the problem isn’t the immigration issue itself, it is the issue of the welfare state that creates this atmosphere of freeloading and entitlement. You can read more on my thoughts on the subject in the article “Conservatives & Aliens”. What I am bringing to the light here is Rick Perry’s hypocrisy on the whole issue.

Perry is a big fucking talker and when it comes to the immigration issue he is all gung ho at trying to convince his constituents that the borders need to be secured and that our national security is threatened with the border being wide-open. He’s doing everything he can or so he says. Essentially, Rick Perry is pandering to that large base of Texas voters who want more immigration enforcement.

The truth is that Rick Perry is doing nothing to prevent illegal immigrants from coming into Texas. In fact, illegal immigrants in Texas have added 17.7 billion dollars a year to the state gross product while benefiting from in-state tuition at public universities on top of other entitlements. While this was going on, it was the local governments and the hospitals that shared the burden in caring for this sect of the population. When fellow Republican Tom Tancredo from Colorado was pressuring other GOP leaders to stand firm on undocumented immigration, Rick Perry called him a “racist”.

In 2001, Rick Perry visited Mexico where he promoted his new law that granted the children of undocumented workers the ability to milk the system for a free ride to college. Under Perry, Texas became the first state to implement such a law. He went on to tell the people there, “The message is simple educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.” That translates to “Education is the future, and yes we can.” He borrowed that last line from Cesar Chavez a socialist and a legendary source of inspiration for union thugs everywhere.

In addition to forcing the taxpayer to pay for the education of immigrant children, Rick Perry also forced them to pay for several services such as drug treatment, mental health care, care for special needs children as well as many more freebies. He also keeps tapping into the taxpayer pot to buy cameras and other devices to attempt to “secure” the border but even with all that he just continues to ask the federal government for help. That just translates to dipping into the taxpayer pot of non-Texans for a Texan problem.

To a lot of conservatives, the issue of securing the border and combating undocumented immigration is one of the most important. To Rick Perry it is obviously a joke and his hypocrisy on the issue is very apparent. To conservatives reading this, you need to be aware where he stands on this issue. Then again, I don’t really think he even knows where he stands on it. Maybe he is just trying to please the huge number of hispanics in the state who have helped to get him elected for three terms.

6. The Bionic Bilderberger:

If you are even aware of what the Bilderberg Group is, the fact that Rick Perry is a member of this elite squad of globalist shitcocks should raise some red flags. For those who don’t know, the Bilderberg Group is an organization comprised of the world’s elite that meets annually to discuss the state and the fate of the world. The group meets in secret and the media is left in the dark about what goes on in these meetings. If the work going on at these meetings is noble, then why is it shrouded in mystery? Why does the organization go to such drastic lengths to beef up security and keep the attendees list out of public view? What is it that the leaders of our nations, the most powerful bankers and even the top media executives don’t want us to know?

I know a lot of you may be rolling your eyes at this conspiracy theory “nonsense” but all you have to do is dig a little bit and you’ll uncover the fact that these meetings do happen, these people do shape the world based off of what happens behind these closed doors and almost nearly every single president and various cabinet members in modern history have attended at least one Bilderberg meeting. It was reported that Rick Perry attended in 2007 (see here).

Since that meeting, Rick Perry has pushed forward with the building of the NAFTA superhighway that is being constructed right through the heart of Texas. This gargantuan road is going to eventually stretch from Mexico all the way up to Canada, intersecting the United States. This project is just the start of the globalist plan to create a North American Union between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Yeah, this is pretty heavy stuff and some of you may be scoffing at the idea but as I’ve stated before, all you’ve got to do is dig a little and the data that supports this is readily available for you to scrutinize and ignore further.

Basically the NAU is our version of the EU or the European Union. Well, we’ve all now seen how well that idea worked out and do we really want to go that route? I’m sure Perry is all for it however if his economic record is any indicator. Then again, the same people pushing for this and the NAFTA superhighway are the same bankers involved in the Bilderberg Group and they have also contributed heavily to Perry’s third campaign for governor as well as his current campaign for president. Also, the companies behind the superhighway have become big supporters of Perry’s as well but really, those companies and the elite are made up of a lot of the same people. Again, do some digging if you question the validity of any of this.

Rick Perry has turned over Texas roads to the foreign company Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transport. In doing so, Perry has stated that he was attempting to save Texans from additional taxation as well as finding a solution that didn’t involve him having to go to “the asphalt fairies” in Washington D.C. for help. Yet he can turn the construction and management of our infrastructure over to a foreign entity? And doesn’t he keep turning to the federal government for border security? I’m confused.

When Rick Perry was pressed about his involvement with the Bilderberg Group in a radio interview he simply said, “I found it to be an interesting group of people. I have yet to find out why they want to keep it a secret. I haven’t been invited back and that was 5 years ago, so I guess I didn’t impress them.” Governor Perry is full of shit and just because he hasn’t been back, if that is even true considering the level of secrecy within the group, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t still pulling some strings. The NAFTA superhighway is a huge string and so is the possibility of the NAU.

I find it kind of funny that Perry was ready to kick the TSA out of Texas but ultimately caved. Could that have been pressure from the mysterious elite? I also find it funny that immediately after the 2011 Bilderberg meeting Rick Perry’s name was suddenly being tossed around by the mainstream media as a potential presidential candidate. Odd that it was Fox News doing the propagandist promo work considering that their owner is none other than Rupert Murdoch, who is a major player in the Bilderberg Group as well as someone who just went through a major scandal with his British newspaper News of the World.

At least this last Bilderberg meeting actually had some press coverage. Media outlets outside the mainstream grasp have started paying attention and reporting on the event. It even made it on the Drudge Report. I guess crazy nutty conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones aren’t so crazy after all, now that major media outlets are starting to shine some light on these secretive annual events. But believe whatever the hell you want. Those of you in the know about this can understand why Rick Perry would be disastrous as our president. His interests aren’t the same as the interests of the American people.

7. Conclusion:

Rick Perry is certainly not a conservative and he certainly doesn’t fit the ideals of what the Tea Party represents. If you are a libertarian like me, he’s pretty much the fucking devil. This guy on the ballot would make me vote for Barack Obama, that is how bad I truly believe he is. It is time to wake up and see the forest for the trees and to stop believing all this manufactured hype presented to us by Fox News and other conservative media outlets that support this guy. Fuck, these damn media outlets are forcing this guy down our throats to the point that we’re all left gagging like porn starlets in the Governor’s self-produced film catalog.

As I stated, I can see where this article will be perceived as a blatant smear campaign against this scumbag but all I really did here was try to inform those of you who only get their information from the mainstream media. Many of the issues I discussed here have been kept out of public view and will continue to not be mentioned unless some brave soul on television is willing to put their career on the line to throw the establishment’s golden boy under the bus. Even then, the clueless plebeians, like O’Reilly and Hannity watchers, will just ignore it because unfortunately, most people don’t want to be informed. Ignorance is bliss and the cookies taste better when you don’t know that the chocolate chips are just rat feces.

Besides, when the media treats even the most plausible conspiracy theory as some nutty scheme dreamed up by some inbred maroon sipping battery acid in a shed, people run away from the idea and shun all others who may entertain it because they don’t want to be associated with the tinfoil hat wearing whackos. When one even mentions that the Gulf of Tonkin incident that started the Vietnam war was staged by our government, people go apeshit and call the person saying it a nutjob. It doesn’t matter that the government came out and admitted it later. This is why the Perry supporters write off anybody trying to educate them on the reality of their messiah. They just refuse to believe it because in doing so, their whole world is turned upside down; it’d be fucking anarchy! Their minds couldn’t handle the brave new world that they’d be forced to accept. Maybe it’s time to introduce a little chaos, it would definitely do this country some fucking good.

Where I sit, I just don’t have the time or the wherewithal to deal with those who keep themselves ignorant on purpose. I’ve said my peace, so you can either ignore it and call me names or you can pass the information on. Rick Perry will be the next President of the United States unless we do something about it. If he wins, I’m not going to even bother saying, “I told you so”. I’m just going to laugh when the country falls to shit and you’re still blaming everyone else for your problems. If you haven’t woken up by today, then you’re already too late. Tomorrow is what we make it today and right now, tomorrow looks like the American nightmare.

My Two Cents: Why can’t any of these candidates make a decision and stick to it? Why do they have to keep dangling the fucking string? Do you want a leader that can’t make a simple decision? Yeah, you probably do. End Two Cents.

*Taken from Arkansas News.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee foresees a “broke and battered” nominee emerging from the 2012 Republican presidential sweepstakes but says his recent exit from the race is not etched in stone.

Appearing today as a guest of the Clinton School of Public Service, the surprise 2008 GOP presidential contender said he did not entirely rule out running next year when he announced last month he had decided against throwing his hat into the ring. Running as a vice presidential candidate next year or for president in 2016 also are not out of the question, he said.

“Everything is still open. I haven’t closed doors, because I found long ago that that’s not a smart thing to do,” the Fox television talk show host and syndicated radio voice told reporters after a speech at the Clinton presidential library.

1. Introduction:

How can anyone that really listens to Donald Trump, especially a conservative or libertarian, want to vote for that pandering douche? A viable presidential candidate? C’mon, really?! He’s contradicted himself multiple times in multiple interviews without really saying anything of substance. In his recent Hannity interview (posted here), he starts to say what he’s thinking, gauges Hannity’s reaction, backtracks and then switches. He’s full of shit but yet so many of you “love what he’s saying.” I don’t get it, I really don’t. Then again the people loving Trump are the same people who thought that these Tea Party candidates weren’t going to be useless once voted in. Apart from Rand Paul, the majority of the Tea Party candidates are just lying neocons, at least so far. Well, Trump is worse than a neocon. In reality, he would be worse for this country than Obama.

“The Douche” or “The Donald” as he likes to be called, has had a lot of lame interviews recently discussing his political aspirations and his P.O.V.  on the issues. His P.O.V. has been incredibly inconsistent as has his political track record when looking at candidates he has endorsed. Trump is a panderer and someone who cannot be trusted with the most important job in this country, if not the world. Out of all the recent interviews to analyze and challenge, I have chosen to go with the recent Hannity interview as it has the most material to dissect. Hopefully, after reading this, you won’t be so naive in regards to this two-faced self-promoting glory hound who cares nothing for the people of this country.

2. Affiliation, Getting It, Polls, Conservatism & Contributions:

Getting right to it, the first thing brought up in the Hannity interview was whether Trump was actually going to run or not. He said that he would make an announcement soon and left it wide open. He then went on a tirade about Barack Obama being the worst president in the history of the country. He could be right, he could be wrong but it’s not like he is dropping any real knowledge on us. He tells us that he is the best candidate because he is Obama’s nightmare. He claims that he understands how Obama works, that he “gets it” and Obama does not. He never tells us how he gets it, he just wants to be clear that he does “get it”. If “getting it” means, playing the game by filibustering and and promising nothing, then I guess Trump is the master. However, isn’t that what Obama has been doing, so isn’t this just more of the same?

Trump goes on to boast about how he is the king of all the polls and how polls are a science. He tells us how great he is because they prove he is the right man for the job and he hasn’t even done anything yet to earn that distinction and recognition. He uses that to pretty much make the viewer believe that if he did start making moves towards a presidential campaign that he would be blowing Obama out of the water even more. Trump is selling himself as a product but still hasn’t given us anything to really latch onto. Yet, many of you have a huge crush on this celebrity cockturd turned maybe-politician. The polls just show the idiocy of the American people and their obsession with celebrity. Hell, if you asked the MTV crowd who they wanted running the country, they’d all pick the Situation over Mike Huckabee.

The Donald then boasts about how if he did run, they’d have to put his financial information out there publicly. He goes on to say that he is rich and he’s done a great job but doesn’t explain how or the path that led him to the top of the mountain. He doesn’t bring up all the failures and bankruptcies, not that that is even really a bad thing but he pimps himself out as an infallible finance mastermind that has the key to solve all of our economic woes.

Trump then describes himself to Hannity as a “conservative person”. He then backtracks a bit and says that he is “a conservative with a big heart.” Well, that looks like he is a guy trying to play both sides. He’s got to let those bleeding heart liberals know that he is sensitive to the plight of the proletariat.

Hannity then brings up the claim that Trump made, that if he were to lose the Republican primary, that he would run as an independent. Trump quickly responded by saying he “meant” to say that he would “consider running as an independent” if he didn’t get the Republican nomination, after trying to appeal to their voter base and garner their support. See, Trump has no allegiance and he knows that many in the GOP will back him if he plays the game right. If he doesn’t get the nomination, he’ll fuck the Republicans over and run against them and Obama, thus making Obama’s path back to the White House much easier by splitting the choices three ways instead of two. Trump obviously doesn’t care about the people and the country or even beating Obama. If he did, he would respect the people’s decision in the primary and then back any and all opposition against Obama. I mean, that is, if Obama is the “worst president ever” as Trump claims only two minutes earlier in the same interview.

As Hannity presses the fact that Trump running as an independent would devastate the GOP, Trump panders and says that he would only run if he really believed that he could win beyond a shadow of a doubt. Well if that were the case douchenuts, shouldn’t you have owned the primary? If you can’t even get through the primary process then how can you all of a sudden be the frontrunner? You’re pandering homeboy and you are just appeasing Hannity and his audience by backtracking on your statements and giving them the assurance that you think they need.

When Hannity asks Trump to explain what makes him a conservative, Trump says that he likes people who work and then goes on a tangent about how he is speaking to the Tea Party in Boca Raton, FL and how they had 200 people showing up but once he became involved they had to move the location as thousands were now going to be there. Ah, more shameless self-promotion and self-pimping that skirts around the question asked. He then says he loves the Tea Party because they are “workers” and that they “love America”. He talks about how they were the first group to make people think about the deficit. Um, where have you been dude, people have been bitching about the deficit as long as I can remember.

Hannity then brings up the fact that Trump has donated to anti-Tea Party candidates like Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and various other Democrats. Trump responds with “Well, I get along with everybody.” Really dude? Really? That’s your answer? Trump continues to explain his stance on this by saying that he comes “from a place that is almost exclusively Democratic.” He says that Republicans don’t have a chance in New York, therefore Republicans don’t even think about New York? What kind of answer is that? What the hell does that mean? Oh.. wait.. he has more to say on it? Trump continues with “Everyone is Democratic, so what am I going to do, contribute to Republicans?” Um, yes dude! So essentially, you want to fight the evil that you supposedly see but your way of doing that is by giving campaign contributions to that very same evil?! How the fuck does that make any sense? To you conservatives supporting this guy, explain this to me! Did Princess Leia send campaign contributions to the Empire? Trump explains that he gives the Democrats money because it is time that we “all get along”. What a deluded fuck. So where is that money for GOP candidates?

I remember in 1995, when Trump teased a presidential run and he came out dissing Republicans saying that the rich needed to be taxed more. Funny, sounds a lot like a liberal and something Obama would say.

3. GOP Competition, Platform, Filibustering, Doubletalk & Islam:

In the next segment of the interview, Sean Hannity asks Trump which of the GOP candidates does he like. Trump, of course pandering to every group watching, says he likes them all. He talks about how he isn’t looking forward to the possibility of running against any of them because he likes them all so much. Dude, shut the fuck up and take a stance! All the candidates have differences, even if they are somewhat subtle. Tell us why you are better than them, break them down or do you not really know what their platforms are? Do you not know who or what you are running against? Do you even know what YOU are running on? I mean, you haven’t made it clear to any of us, that’s for damn sure. All Trump can do here is talk about how every Republican candidate has nice things to say about him and how they are all seemingly backing him. I bet the Donald sniffs his own farts.

Trump then goes on another off topic filibustering tirade about how the numbers aren’t as bad as we think in regards to our economy. Hannity then says that it is a large number, where Trump says “yes it is.” What?! Make up your fucking mind cockpuppet! Then he tells us that we lose money on every country we deal with. Okay homie, so how are the numbers not as bad as we think they are? How are you comforting us here and convincing us that we shouldn’t worry as much as we are? Then he switches again and goes on about how Japan treated us like fools for years and now want our help. What are you talking about again? I’m fucking lost.

Another Trump “but” is when he says that he loves Paul Ryan but he is a little too far out in front. Trump has nothing but double negatives and “buts” in this interview. See, Trump is claiming to relate to the Tea Party and fiscal conservativeness but he wants to keep Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other entitlements. Wait.. I guess he is like most of the Tea Party then since they want to bitch about spending but they won’t cut their own special programs that youngsters like me have to pay for with no ROI when our time comes.

Hannity explains to Trump the strain that these entitlements have on the economy and Trump doesn’t really respond, he just says that Republicans and Democrats have to work together and he will basically make that happen. Yeah dude, good luck with that. This guy must get some good weed because he’s just walking around in one big fantastical hallucination.

Hannity asks Trump how he would balance the budget. Trump also doesn’t have an answer for this. He just lets us know, as if we are oblivious to the problem, that we are losing a ton of money and jobs. He then switches it to talk about how China is “stealing” our jobs. He then drops the most insightful comment I have ever heard, “The best thing for balancing the budget, is to have a strong economy.” What does that even mean dude, and I’m sure you can’t answer that either.

Trump is then confronted with the fact that he received criticism for his comment that he “gets a negative vibe from the Qur’an.” He then says that something must be going on because every time he turns on a television, a hundred people are killed in a grocery store in Iraq. I wonder if that happens every time I turn on a T.V.? He then talks about soldiers with missing arms and legs and pretty much implies that this is due to Islam.

He then makes a statement that he sells as great, before he even tells Hannity or his audience. That statement is, that “Iran will take over Iraq two minutes after we leave.” Wow, how profound. Trump says that this has already started. Well, I want to see his intel then. Why not share that with the media and the Pentagon. It’s all just bullshit specualtion and scare tactics to get you, the voter, behind this “prophetic” tool. Trump implies that Iran will take the oil. His solution? We take the oil for ourselves because his justification is “in the old days, when you won a country you won a country.” Wait, we won a country? Trump says that “at a minimum” the Iraqis should pay us back for their liberation with $1.5 trillion dollars in oil. Woohoo! Freedom!

4. Nukes, Israel, Christianity, Trials & the Environment:

Sean Hannity kicks off the third segment of the interview by asking Trump if he supports Israel. Without directly answering “yes” or “no” Donald toots his own shitty horn again by boasting about how he has a park named after him in Israel. Who the fuck cares shitpickle! I have an ex-girlfriend with my name tattooed on her ass. That’s cooler than a fucking park in Israel! And guess what dude, I didn’t have to donate money for it like you did. He then talks about how he has lots of Jewish friends. No shit, you live in New York.

Trump then switches the topic to Obama and teacher’s unions. M’kay, what’s that got to do with Israel? Apparently Trump is mad because Obama didn’t walk with the teachers in Wisconsin like he had promised. Okay, is Trump siding with the unions here? Is his inner libtard coming through?

Hannity asks Trump if he is a Christian. Trumps says “I am a protestant, I’m a presbyterian.” He says he is pro-life, against gay marriage but then admits that he has changed his views back and forth over the years. He gets into the issue of abortion and admits that he has been torn over it but is in favor of the death penalty. I guess he has his religious points down.

So with the death penalty issue he switches the topic from religion into talking about terrorists. He says that he wants them to be put to death with a speedy trial. He favors military tribunals over public trials because bringing a terrorist to New York would create “riots, this and that.”

He then switches the subject of military tribunals into talking about how great the military is. He says he would not cut military spending and in fact he would increase the military. Trump claims that he would create the strongest military we’ve ever had. Then before Hannity can delve into that tidbit, Trump flips the script and goes on to talk about how much money Columbia made off of us. Hold up man, expand on your statement. Why are you going from A to Z to M to Q to L to V to F? This guy needs some fucking Ritalin!

Sean Hannity then asks Trump who his favorite presidents are. Trump likes Reagan, of course he does, he is talking to the world’s most famous Reaganite. In 1987, Trump paid for full page anti-Reagan ads in various magazines and newspapers. I guess he forgot about that. Now as Trump flashes back to his memory of seeing Reagan, he says “There is our president. I thought he represented something very special for this country.”

On energy, Trump, in an effort to not ostracize any industry that could financially back him, pretty much says that he supports everything: oil, nuclear and alternative sources. Then he boasts about all his environmental awards received for great golf courses he built. Seriously dude, what the fuck? Let me try and figure out how I can work in to this article the fact that I was on the honor roll in third grade. Ooh, I just did. Did I also mention that I won a camera as the first prize in an art contest and that I had the best finishing time on the obstacle course when my ROTC squad was invited to a real boot camp? I am also a dog lover and loved by dogs as well. I’ve published a book, I’ve made a grilled cheese without my mum’s help and I used to run 13 miles a day. Did I mention that I built a bookshelf by myself and regularly win at backgammon on my iPhone?

Trump then talks about how good he is with the environment because he has lots of environmental consultants. Yeah bro, so does Al Gore.

5. Birther Bullshit, Ayers, Wright, Conspiracies & Obama Bashing:

The first segment of the second day of Hannity’s lengthy interview starts with Trump being confronted with his obsession over Obama’s birth certificate. Hannity talks about the fact that Trump has a team of investigators in Hawaii trying to find out the “truth”. In reality, this is Trump’s “trump card” and the focal point of all his political mumbo jumbo. He has no issues to run on or really discuss apart from trying to prove that Obama is not an American citizen. So while the idiot GOPers line up in support of this conspiracy theorist with no substance, the Obama Administration is laughing and further discrediting the sanity of their opponents. The birther issue is a waste of fucking time. Anyway, Trump is proudly moving forward with it.

In response to Hannity bringing up Trump’s favorite subject, the Donald responded with “I don’t love this issue, I’d rather be talking about how China is ripping us off, how OPEC is [pause, then switches back to the birther topic!].” Well, if you would rather talk about those things, talk about them! Why is this birther investigation seemingly the top priority? I mean, I know the media blows things out of proportion but truth is, Trump is pushing the issue, constantly! Every time you see him, he initiates the subject and pushes the bar. The reason being is that it is controversial and it keeps people talking about Trump. No one would care if he was bitching about China and OPEC and he knows this. So he has latched onto a controversial topic that the other candidates won’t touch because they want to play it safe. His birther tactics are a well calculated scheme but also a double-edged sword.

Then after saying he’d rather talk about China and OPEC, Trump spends the rest of the segment talking about the details of the birth certificate issue. See, he may say he doesn’t want to focus on it but the issue is obviously his passion here. He downplays it yet when it comes up, he makes it take over the conversation. He keeps the rhetoric going. What happened to Donald “Switcheroo” Trump who kept flipping the script and going off topic like an Alzheimer’s patient? Now he is focused and staying on topic. Now he’s comfortable. But yeah, he’d rather talk about Red China and Evil OPEC.

Trump then expands the birther topic into talking about how Obama is actually probably a muslim, how he changed his name from Barry Soetoro, how he had bad grades but ended up in Harvard and how Bill Ayers wrote his first book, which was “better than Hemingway.” M’kay dude, still waiting for you to stop talking about what you don’t like talking about. Rumor has it, if Jesse Ventura doesn’t do a third season of ‘Conspiracy Theory’ for TruTV they are going to ask Trump to do it.

Oh, he’s not done yet? Now he’s bashing Obama for his relationship with Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright. Yeah, we are all aware of this. Trump has to take the opportunity though to explain that Obama frequented a church that spewed hatred towards white people. This is the “demonize the enemy” part of the interview apparently. While Trump regurgitates Glenn Beck’s talking points for the last three years, Hannity just nods and lets him continue. So while talking about Ayers writing Obama’s first book, Trump boasts that he knows something about writing because he wrote a bunch of best-sellers. I’m glad Trump is an expert on everything.

The Obama bashing continues even longer. Glad to see Trump is so focused on Obama and not himself or his political platform. He’s definitely got his anti-Obama talking points down. So far the only pro-Trump talking points are about how he has won environmental awards, has written best-sellers, invented cheese and was the first to claim that Pluto wasn’t a planet. Surprisingly he hasn’t yet boasted about inventing the “dead cat” hairstyle.

Now Hannity jumps in on the Obama bashing by mentioning how Obama dropped Ayers, Wright and others who made him. This leads Trump to go on a tirade about how Obama has no loyalties. Yawn! Yeah dude, we know. Can we talk more about your plan to save America? Nope, didn’t think so.

Great now we’re back to the birther issue and Donald bitching about Obama’s “free ride”. There isn’t much left to analyze here because this rant has taken up fifteen minutes. Trump is a chump and obviously has nothing real to say. It sucks that I had to sit through a two day interview and walked away with no real insight as to what Donald Trump plans to do to fix this country. Instead I just got to hear about how great he is and how bad Obama is.

6. Conclusion:

Donald Trump is not a serious candidate. He has no idea what he is doing. The only reason people in the GOP are backing him is because he is bashing Obama, he tells them whatever they want to hear and he’s a celebrity. Yes, this country has become so shallow that a guy with a reality show and a dead cat on his head can actually be considered a viable candidate for President of the United States. The sad reality is that Trump has a real chance. To me, that is incredibly fucking scary!

This man would be worse for this country than Barack Obama. That is a crazy statement at this point but I truly believe it. At least Obama had an agenda and he stuck to it. Sure he lied about some things, they all do, but he presented himself as a socialist and he has implemented socialist change in our crumbling capitalistic country. Trump has no agenda apart from trying to prove that Obama isn’t a U.S. citizen. His wild goose chase takes precedence over unemployment, the fact that we are in three wars, the economy, foreign policy, the war on drugs, immigration or anything else that is currently dividing the country. Nope, Trump would prefer to pander to both sides, present himself as some sort of moderate-conservative that supports progressive candidates while pretending he is the host of ‘Conspiracy Theory’.

Trump does have Obama beat in one area though. He has worked a real job and he has built up a successful empire. I can’t leave this as just a blatant Trump bashing. I think that his success is great and he has created opportunity for thousands upon thousands of people and he knows how to create jobs. All I ask, is that if he is seriously going to run for president, he needs to switch his focus to that. Fuck the birth certificate, fuck boasting about your trivial accolades and fuck this pandering crap. State your stance, stick to your guns and give us a solution to the problem. Show us your plan, not your trophies. Until then, no one that is actually a critical thinker and a real libertarian or conservative can ever take you seriously. If you aren’t really planning on running, step the fuck off and stop playing with people’s emotions. Times are hard and you’re acting like the class clown. This is the most serious election we have had in decades. To you, it seems, it is just a publicity stunt.
