How I am supposed to make up my feeble little mind when I have so many choices?
Cruz. He's a dumb sonofabitch, I'm listening
Paul. Wait, am I thinking of his dad, the crazy fucker?
Rubio. He looks a little too ethnic for me. Isn't he Cuban?
Carson. He's black, so that's a nope, but I'll put his book on my coffee table, cause I'm not racist.
Fiorina. A chick, seriously? Is she hot? Ew, nope
Huckabee. He kinda looks like my preacher...maybe
Santorum. Who? OMG DO NOT GOOGLE!!!
Pataki. I'm sorry, who? Still scared to google
Graham. Aw ain't he sweet?
Bush. Didn't we already do this?
Walker. Damn his eyes are really close together and are freaking me out.
Christie. Well, he IS an asshole, I'm listening.
Perry. Something familiar about this guy. Does he paint pictures of kitty cats?
Jindal. What the hell is this guy?
Kasich. I'm sorry, who?
So many angry white guys, so few braincells. I guess I'll just wait to see who my preacher tells me to vote for.

My guess is that most here don't know the incredible # of 'Mericans that statement applies to.

(1,151 posts)Its the common practice of brain washing our children. Its crazy ,just like when we consider the practices of centuries past and how crazy it was to have slaves, or not have dentistry. Seems like people were crazy. They clung to their mythical beliefs because reality was so harsh. But its not anymore. We have dentists and we can cure almost anything. Not with magic either.
But we continue to lie to our children and frighten them with these old wives tales. People ,otherwise intelligent people live their very lives by these myths. When you think about it, its crazy. We demand these fairtales be adhered to by our President! Preposterous as that sounds it is absolutely true.
When you say it out loud, not only does it sound crazy, many people would be horrified by your admission that it is crazy. If the president went on TV and said , this stuff is crazy, he would be risking his very life.
So many people have been so thoroughly brainwashed that we have to keep killing and destroying all over the world in order to justify the killing and destroyingf we have been doing for centuries in the name of these crazy myths.
Crazy. I could go on and on. I know these people. They seem like they are in control of their faculties except when it comes to the practice of worshiping some crazy myth. There they go, unquestioning.
Thats why so any women will vote to deny themselves their own self respect. It is very sad.

In some states they are close to losing the majority label but not quite yet.

(26,624 posts)the white male voting block would be small. Women already outnumber men. Here's one of many analysis.

I heard him say that Paul was as big a nut job as his father. It bothered me to agree with a RW radio host
