4 - White Supremacists usually don't serve Mexican food at gatherings

3 - An OBGYN who doesn't do DNC's....hmmmmm

2 - Freeway Blogs for Paul look downright spooky

3. 11. He's still a Repub, if only in name
I do have to take issue with #5 though. Molly Ivins or Ann Richards would've made great presidents.

6. You do realize that Bush isn't actually a Texan, right?
He just plays one on TV.

7. From what I saw there, they seemed to have taken him as their own...
Maybe not in Austin, but definitely in Dallas...Houston...Lubbock...anywhere in-between...

12. True.
But Molly said the next time she says not to elect anyone from Texas to the presidency, please listen.

13. I guess it's because I'm in college

11. yeah, crazy shit
I was talking to a friend tonight and he said he's going to vote Republican in the primary because he likes Ron Paul..... jesus christ. At least when we ran into his girlfriend I told her that he'd just been telling me about how he hates blacks and poor children. Fucking crazy..... yeah, I want out of Iraq, but I also want things like public schools and social security.

22. 1 reason I don't support Ron Paul - REPUBLICAN
Hell, I won't even vote for my pro-choice, pro-environment, leaning against the war republican representative here in Delaware. I like Mike Castle but until he switches party I won't vote for him.

BTW, he grocery shops where I do (he lives a couple blocks away from me) - I ran into him, shook his hand and said he was one of the very few republicans I liked and that he should switch parties.

He laughed and said thank you.

24. LOL...I said the same thing to Ahhhhnold
Edited on Thu Dec-20-07 11:24 AM by Taverner
(He showed up at my watering hole because the owner is a big Ahhhnold supporter)

Yes, I know he's got some bad baggage (Gropennager, The Energy Lawsuit dropped, etc) but all in all, he's a better RINO than many. And yes, I hope the Kennedys turn the screws one family Christmas and get him to switch.

26. I'm seeing Arnold going independant pretty soon especially over this CO2 stuff
EPA just reject him and 16 other states the rights to set their own CO2 standards. Say what will you about Arnold - when it comes to the Environment he's definately one of the very good guys. One of these days the Bush regime is gonna piss Arnold off enough that he'll go independant. And if that happens the GOP can kiss the 55 electorial votes of California goodbye for a very very long time
