Guest El Chalupacabra Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 RUBIO'S NEXT TO ANNOUNCE GUYZ!I wonder if he can give one speech or interview without showing his disrespect of all things Obama. you know, like his own ideas that have nothing to do with "wehaveanadministrationthat" every ten seconds? Dude, whomever the GOP chooses will be running against Obama just as much as whomever the Dems choose. At the end of 8 years, every president is the Devil, as far as the other party is concerned.

At the end of 8 years, every president is the Devil, as far as the other party is concerned. i know they're running against the president on his way out (in part), but Rubio--almost as much as Cruz--is obsessed with Obama hate to the point of not talking about anything else. I doubt Bush will waste as much time on that, as he will spend time making his Republican competitors look like one-note scrubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pong Messiah Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Rubio. Cruz. Ick and icker. The only nice things I can think of to say about Rubio are that he doesn't seem to be driven entirely by ideology (he may have a pragmatic streak driven by greed and personal ambition, too!), and that unlike most of the other GOP offerings, he does not appear to be functionally retarded. But that's it.The general election is still more than a year and a half away, and I already loathe every potential candidate from both major parties.Of course, this always happens. No surprise there... I just don't remember it ever happening so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Rubio planned to announce in front of a bunch of Cubanos which I think is funny considering GOP immigration stands. Miami is where it is at for retiried poor people on fixed income, Cuban immigrants and rich people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pong Messiah Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Liberal hyperninny Gail Collins's column on the "evolving" Rand Paul the other day came off as both vacuous and vicious. When I read something like that, I have to wonder if the author is sharpening their knives for somebody else down the road, genuinely concerned he might win, or just bored. Or could it be all three?

Ms. Spam Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yawn. Rick Perry announces. In other news I have a GOP candidate I really like: Lindsey Graham If only because he screws Rubio's chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting how this affects current politics as the whimpy fight over the Patriot Act goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Did Rand Paul lead the charge against the Patriot Act? I haven't kept up with politics in about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Yeah. I almost want to vote for him. A lot of Patriot Act provisions give tools to the FBI and other entities to fight terror and aren't even used. Much like the government collecting bulk telephone things.

Pong Messiah Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 i don't see myself voting for him, and IMO most of the things I "like" about Rand Paul come off like intelligence-insulting gimmicks (not saying he has no sincere beliefs, that's just how he comes off to me)... but I think he'd definitely be an entertaining president!

Burt Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I figure it'll shake it out in the primaries. I'll pay closer attention then. I'm 50/50 on Democrat/Republican, unless Clinton runs, I refuse to vote for her. I'd like it to be someone sane who doesn't screw everything up. That doesn't feel like too much to ask for.

What a disgustingly weak field of choices, with a lot of recycles from 2012 this is shaping up to be:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_presidential_candidates,_2016 Good news if you are a democrat and love Hillary Clinton. As for me, I want at least the appearance of a viable alternative. Guess who's probably voting for the libertarian geek, once again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pong Messiah Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 My current grand conspiracy theory is that there's a massive plot in the GOP where Rubio, Christie, Bush, Cruz, etc. have been instructed to just keep saying the stupidest, most awkward things ever in order to make Carly Fiorina look like a shining beacon of sanity and reason by comparison as she is the only one who can "effectively attack" Hillary Clinton. Rand Paul, of course, refused to go along with this plot, but that doesn't matter, because most of what he says is naturally quite awkward. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
