Who's it going to be?

Republicans:

Gov Crispie Creme
Jeb Bush
Mittens
Tom Tancredo?
Rand/Ron Paul?
Rick Perry

Democrats:
Hillary
Joe Biden
Bill Richardson
Bernie Sanders
Elizabeth Warren? (would fap to Sanders/Warren ticket FWIW)

Loon Category:
Ted Cruz
Michelle Bachman


I also suspect 2016 will be a banner year for the "Toke up hippies" thread.

Discuss?

*edit to add WaPo article, Rick Perry

 

[dan-o]

Warren's voice makes we want to kill puppies so please God, no.
Hillary? Just another career self-server but I'd maybe vote for her.
I like Jeb and if he doesn't go full-retard with the conservative banner would consider giving him my vote.

Basically I'm jaded as fuck and think they're all candidates for a Dachau reunion tour, but you gotta vote to bitch so I keep coming back for more.

 

[stevew]

what's there left to promise?

 

[Pesqueeb]

A car in every pot and a chicken in every garage?

 

[dan-o]

what's there left to promise?

A better ham sandwich

 

[stevew]

after the last 16 years.....there's nothing left to get excited about.....

 

[jimmydean]

I'm sure the GOP can find somewhere to invade.

We've got a 2016 GOP front runner right here!

 

[jstuhlman]

those aren't promises, they're a laundry list of the current state of affairs

 

[stevew]

increased corporate profits

so have they gone up more under barry or shrub?

I don't see the border fence w/moat and minefield in that list.

[JohnE]

Sanders/Warren if this country is too have any sort of future that isnt dictated by the Cock Brothers.

 

[MMike]

This guy should be in the mix

To appeal to the Republican base he'd have to go full-retard, so that pretty much negates him getting your vote I'd hope.

 

[Westy]

I think a lot of leaders like to talk about increased border protection to get the "base" (lowest common denominator) excited but I am pretty sure they are just interested in maintaining the status quo. They want a fresh supply of undocumented workers. There is a lot of money to be made off of exploiting an underclass.

This is true on all counts.

 

[IH8Rice]

you left out one loon.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Can I get an Amen?

 

[jonKranked]

I predict it will be a Giant Douche vs a Turd Sandwich

I predict Palin will "run" just to grub up some more money so that she can continue her grifty ways.

What do Union Carbide call them selves these days?

 

[Pesqueeb]

What do Union Carbide call them selves these days?

Pretty sure they still call themselves Union Carbide. There was a piece on NPR the other day about the anniversary of the Bhopal Disaster. IIRC they are owned by Dow now.

[jackalope]

If pants suit wins, I wonder if it will be awkward to sit at the same desk her political partner was serviced at? Hopefully they will at least remove the cigars (or perhaps not )

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Interesting, following the news that few others seem to be donating...

If you're Republican presidential contender, one of the most important voting blocs to win over is the "values voters" - the nearly 50 percent of GOP primary voters who are focused on social issues like abortion and traditional marriage.

And perhaps even more important than identifying who's winning over those voters now is determining which candidates the "values voters" really, really don't like.

"Values voters" don't like Christie because he touched a black man once. That's how you get teh AIDS.

The LULZ part of the GOP are certainly sprinting out of the gate.

I am not sure how credible a source the New Yorker is. But this gave me Lulz, had to double check it wasn't The Onion.

Andy Borowitz's column on The New Yorker, "The Borowitz Report", is satire. Just sayin'.
