      That's what I mean. You aren't a nut for being religious on the right or for being liberal on the left. You are a nut for running for office and pandering to extreme positions that are known to be candidacy killers. When will the conservative electorate realize this?

      A few months ago, Rick Perry was saying that if his new anti-abortion measures had been in place in time, Joan Rivers might not have died when she did.

      • I guess my question is: How many votes are you really getting for pandering to the extreme positions? I hope the number is shrinking.

              Yes. Rand is also a doctor.

                  Don't forget Huckabee. I listened this morning to an interview in which, in an apparent attempt to appear tolerant as he gets ready to throw his hat into the ring, said he has friends who are gay and he has no problem with people following the gay lifestyle. Anyone using the phrase "gay lifestyle" nowadays will likely get the hook, and should.

                    Huckabee has been on my moron list ever since this:



                    What cross? Oh, that's just a coincidence.

                      If Sacha Baron Cohen were not so exposed (and also a US-born citizen), his would be a great candidacy to track, as he crosses America pandering to individuals that have chosen the "black lifestyle," people that have decided to have "Jewish sex," or individuals that were not brought into this world as elderly but over decades have opted to assume the traits and characteristics of an old person despite their innate age at birth.

                      • Interesting we hardly heard about the current presidents idiocy on vaccines when he was running
                        http://www.vox.com/2015/2/2/7963837/...vaccine-autism

                        We've seen just a skyrocketing autism rate. Some people are suspicious that it's connected to the vaccines. This person included. The science right now is inconclusive, but we have to research it. --Barack Obama, Pennsylvania Rally, April 21, 2008.


                        Lot's of stupidity to go around unfortunately.

                          While we're all wondering about all the idiots running on the GOP side, let's also savor Al Sharpton's run from a few years ago and that he has a platform on the Democrats' official network.

                          Rand Paul has always been a nonstarter because he's Ron Paul's son, who's a certified nut. I'm glad the vaccine talk may sink his campaign.

                          The nomination is going to come down to Bush or Walker, thankfully.
                          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                            Thankfully? Bush v Clinton in 2016? No thanks.

                              I don't know much about Walker, but what I do know, he seems like one of the few candidates who can ignite the moderates and the far-right folks.

                                Obama's quote is somewhat defensible. This was before Lancet retracted the article that made the most publicized link between autism and vaccines.

                                There's no excuse for Paul to be spouting off anecdotes. He should know better. Unfortunately, he doesn't. Goodbye, Paul.
