2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Race

[Indeed]

Homosexuality is wrong, so no more girl on girl.

Pre-marital sex is wrong, so only anal allowed.

Contraception is wrong, so no more condoms.

Well the last two sound like paradise. No way any of that could go wrong.

[Qalbert]

No condoms, anal only, Final Destination.

Ohohohohohohoho holllyyyy shit is that REAL? He said that? Does he just not want ANYONE to vote for him? In before conspiracy theories that he's on Obama's payroll to throw the election completely

[Apelila]

I'd like to know how he intends to do this with the First Amendment being a thing.

Oh wait, he's a Republican! That silly old constitution only applies when its something they don't want.

lol, they make up shit and claim it to be IN the Constitution when it isn't! naturally this was the next step

[Apelila]

I really should start using Conservative instead of Republican as a pejorative, since they're the ones who have been in full retard mode for the last 30 or so years with the party just along for the ride.

[Churchill]

I'd say it was the other way around tbh

other things I hate are the 3 ways to make yourself known as a democrat; find a social issue and try to fuck on everyone for it, attempt to make yourself a martyr, or pretend to be a "progressive" to secure more bible votes.

I don't know much about party histories outside of a few things here and there that I've picked up, is the portrayal of the two parties on Boardwalk Empire pretty accurate? That's how I imagine it still is really.

[Dantrag]

Conservatism has some great aspects to it, the Republican party saddling it with theocratic ideals and extreme-right rhetoric has pretty well stained its name.

This. US will always need a balanced system. Too far left or right has never really been our thing.

Depends on what you mean. Do you mean the Duverger's Law or some other characterization?

[Churchill]

I mean more like being ran by the Gangsters and all the stuff that went into Cleveland's election and the local elections for Nukkie.

I kind of meant this but let me elaborate. Conservatism is fine, but none of the 'conservatives' would/do practice it. I meant that instead of lumping all Republicans as one far, right wing crazy umbrella term it would be better to call out the ones that are something else. Sort of how Faux news, Mann coulter et all turned 'liberal' into a pejorative. Which still blows my mind.

[Alleya]

Well, at least it isn't completely woman-hating. I'm sure I'll be eating those words soon enough, when he announces some facet of the "crackdown on porn" plan that severaly punishes those pornographic hussies in some creative way we never saw coming.

You say this as if any proposal he'd make wouldn't punish the actresses exclusively.

Here's a little known thing about US law concerning porn that not many people know, but it really illustrates how insane, hamfisted, backwards, and ignorant lawmakers are about this sort of thing. What constitutes a valid ID card for a foreign porn actor or producer? According to the law, it's the things you'd expect, like a driver's license, a passport, etc...OR, any government issued equivalent of any of those kinds of documents WHEN BOTH the performer AND the producer are LOCATED in the united states. Let that sink in for a minute. If you are a porn actor, and your producer goes to Germany on business, you are technically breaking the law. If you die, technically your corpse has to move around with your producer in order to meet legal requirements. Depending on the ID used, it can also be illegal for you and the producer to be in the same country at the same time. This law went into effect in 2005ish, and as far as I know, it's never been tested. It's just a massive headache for everyone in the business, and no lawyer on earth knows what the fuck it means.

This is why keeping government out of morality is good, folks.

Porn and gay marriage are the two things that drive me insane about Repub politicians. Hypocrisy just sucks away all your credibility on everything, and on top of that, the positions make no freaking sense.

[Sera]

This. US will always need a balanced system. Too far left or right has never really been our thing.

the two party system sucks balls anyway, i don't feel represented by either party & most people don't -- more compromise than do not in order to fall in and vote for someone

the apathy will continue so long as this is the case

Sounds like you need a third brain chart, Swampy; one for the current religiously-shackled republican.

Romney takes Puerto Rico

[Cleverness]

I don't think that's a surprise at all considering Santorums statehood comments honestly.

[Sera]

So what are all you guys gonna do when Santorum gets elected and hardcore porn is outlawed? Better start getting some hobbies. Hobbies that feel like handjobs.

[Apelila]

I already have one of those, it's called screwing anything that moves.

Santorum Legacy: doubled the spread off all infections diseases because men couldn't whack it.

[Athas]

I'd open a hardcore porn speakeasy disguised as a simple whorehouse.
