I'm not running for President either so I can blast Bush...and that other fucking shithole, Cheney, all I like.
Listening to these turds makes me realize that Bush was just the start of the collapse....not the end.

I think that, the popular opinion on here, is very intellectually shallow. It basically says that you don't really understand why they have the positions they have. I don't know how that's a sign of intellectual strength.
That's not the entirety of my perspective on why people support these fascists, there are many elements that factor into it: America's terrible educational system and economy, a corporate media that lies in service of political agenda, rampant religious fanaticism, a long heritage of racism that has only seen legislative change, rather than cultural or economic reformation; the relatively young and unformed American culture is ripe for exploitation in this time of sensationalized terrorist atrocities and biased social division perpetrated by the media who exploit the same frightened, poor and educated white folks that the GOP galvanize.

Of course they're going to bash Obama. That's been their entire platform since he got elected. I don't think they know how to do anything else.
And when was the last time you heard a conservative actually put forth an actual plan to deal with something other than dangerously slashing budgets? They've become the part of negativity, and all they know how to do is sling mud. But given Trump is leading the GOP polls, that's exactly what the people that vote for these lunatics want to hear. I don't think he's done a single thing in his campaign that wasn't negativity directed at someone else.

Hey, at least Trump's thugs know that "Sieg Heil" is a nazi slogan. That's more credit than I would have given them a few days ago.

I was watching a hockey game. Did any body get the count on the total number of wars these fuckers want to start?

Not sure what you guys think, but that's just what it seems like. I mean if these guys are as great as they think, they why don't they lay out detailed plans on how to defeat ISIS and such instead of blaming him for our problems. When in reality he's done quite a bit for this country. They also keep bitching about Obama apparently not saying it's Islamic Terrorism when he's said that multiple times.
My god! The GOP never ceases to amaze me. How is it that anyone votes for these idiots?
Do you expect them to say good things about the opposition leader when appealing to their party??
I don't know how it works in American politics, but their party is going to vote for them anyway. It's the undecided they should be targeting, with the outside hope of swaying a few of the opposition. These kinds of sensationalist diatribes are meant for the media, not the voters.

The fearmongering is almost criminal.
Obama has made our country unsafe? How many times did those demagogues say "make the country safe again?" Does anyone feel unsafe? What do you think these borderline doomsday prepping hyperbase asshats are going to do when you hammer into their skulls that they are unsafe? We are fucking safe.
The idea that these asshats want to add money to the military, as if our military simply isn't strong enough to defeat ISIL? The idea that because military spending has been reined in, all of a sudden our military is weak? These clowns are up there touting the idea that we need to make our military the best in the history of the world. Newsflash, assholes, it already is.
We don't need to spend more money on the military, all so your asshole friends at Haliburton can make money. Our military will be just fine with us continuing to spend more than the next 10 countries combined.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

You see, Stim, it's a primary. The only people voting are republicunt morons. In order to appeal to morons you have to be the biggest moron in the room.
The problem is that all of a sudden one of these dickheads will be the nominee and then, as you say, they suddenly have to appeal to voters who are not republicunts. This famously backfired in 2012 when one of Romney's advisers made the "etch-a-sketch" comment.

He was never going to win but this did not help.
This bunch seems to have no clue what it means to be president. They remind me of Richard Belzer in "The Groove Tube."
