Ted Nugent for President! Please come CAPTION the spud!!!!

Last edited Thu Jul 4, 2013, 09:00 AM - Edit history (1)



Ted ("Why doesn't anyone over twelve pay attention to my ideas?&quot Nugent is saying, "Well, I've been thinking about that, Chet. . . . If I decide to run, I'm thinking Sarah Palin for VP, which would give the ticket some gravitas in the mind of voters. . . . Then for Secretary of State, Donald Trump comes immediately to mind because his patience and moderation and temper make him nacho for the slot, if you know what I mean. Then . . ."

So President Nugent might be a real possibility! No more lesser of two evils, doncha know. Pure evil and stupidity is A-OK, now that we're in punishment mode.

Get working on a better alternative, for sure. I'll vote with you every day, just not for Jill Stein. I'd bend over backwards for an alternative that could beat Ted Nugent. All I've seen so fr from the effort is folks who can barely pull 3-5%. There has to be better than that. There just has to be, or NC legislators and Walkeresque executives go national.

Nope.

Voting for another Turd Way, Republic Light, "centrist," Corporatist?

Nope.

I will vote. I will vote my principles. It's up to the Democratic Party if that will be their candidates or not. The onus is upon them.

4 years ago it cost us redistricting in many states which is a direct cause of the multiple right wing issues being implemented in many states like TX and NC.

Such good, forward thinking people.

Seeing how they can't, it is totally irresponsible to whine and say one's principles won't let them vote for such a Democrat. As we used to say in our part of organized labor, you can't eat principles and they won't put a roof over your family's head or food on the table. That's a teabagger way of thinking and I've had posts hidden for pointing that out. Again, more teabagger thinking.

A couple of authoritarians.

"Can't eat principles? Then you have none!!!"

This seems to be the ruling sentiment around here these days. But again, I will take my daughter over their pie-in-the-sky every day of the week. And yes, you learn this very quickly when you do actual organizing and activism, and not just sitting around griping.

and when they split off I will abandon all those Liberal commies and leave them without a President.

Next, as President of the New Confederacy we will declare war on those liberal states and conquer them. placing them once again under my rule. This time though it will be under the constitution of The Confederacy which will have one party rule, allow poor citizens to starve while we pour endless amounts of money into our military and create a tiny ruling class which has total control over both industry and governance. Not like those damn commies.

You lie well enough Ted! And you don't need to be real smart Teddy. GW Bush already proved that!
