It's not only those who oppose fornicating with the Sun God, it's also those who responsible for multiple failures in Iraq.


Runs 5:14.

A month ago the trolls on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel political blogs (jsonline.com) suddenly started touting Texas as a model State. I agree with Rachel that Perry could emerge as the Republican nominee. Frightening.

And also frightening how South Carolina and Iowa are used to push extreme fringe candidates into front-runners.

1. They will push his business "successes". But our budget

is a massive failure because they won't undo W's massive tax cuts from the 1990's. Our schools are desperate and underfunded. We have an education system near the bottom of the country. I can't stress enough what a disaster he would be if elected.

And do Americans really want to listen to that ugly drawl for four years?

2. The Only God He Really Worships Is...

...the one that says "In God We Trust". Goodhair is even beyond obnoxious for Texas...but not enough that they keep electing him. You're right, the GOTB primary system is screwed...for any moderate. They have to deal with religious zealots in two of the first three primaries, thus the crazy is out and heavy early and often. The peril in this game for rushpublicans is having to run back to the "middle" to have any chance of winning in the general that will alienate their great unhinged...or run to the far right and lose in a landslide.
