You guys are a real hoot.

Here's the Dem field:

An aging Socialist with rape fantasies.
An aging woman who won't take questions from the press and can't find her way out of scandal after scandal after scandal.
An aging guy who has determined the biggest issue facing the nation is a change to the Metric system.
A former Mayor of Baltimore and Governor of MD who, channeling his inner Putin, likes to be seen with his shirt off.

I like how a guy who mentioned that it's possible a woman might fantasize about gang rape in a non-derogatory manner means "he has rape fantasies."

I also like how a woman who finds herself in scandal after scandal yet never convicted of any wrongdoing is at fault for being falsely accused over and over.

I also like how when a guy advocates a change to the metric system, that automatically becomes the "biggest issue facing the nation."

My favorite part is that Republicans make up straw men to laugh at Democrats, like, Sanders is a socialist? Where does he call for common ownership of the means of production?

On the other hand, when Democrats laugh at Huckabee for saying that he wished he could have told his school he was transgendered to shower with the girls... Well, he just straight up fucking said that.

On the metric thing, some of the good folks at SA Forums were hoping that it will become a question that all the candidates need to address. Can you imagine if a moderator pulls that one out of the bag in one of the Republican debates? Listening to these guys articulate their position on our system of measurements? :awe:

Agreed. Also Huntsman's experience as Ambassador to China and that he speaks fluent Mandarin would be extremely useful in a time of escalating tensions between U.S. and China.

I don't think the value and importance of Huntsman's experience, knowledge, and understanding of the Chinese can be overstated.

But he hasn't been visible nationally in recent years to have a chance unfortunately.

Huntsman is a non-starter among the Repub base.

Puffery among the talking heads about military tensions with China is about headlines & arms sales, about promoting the usual us vs them headset.

That would be funny. I can just imagine many of the Republican candidates being perplexed, having no grasp of the Metric System, and then opposing it because its' something those effeminate socialist Europeans and Frenchmen use.
 
I can't remember if it was here or in SA Forums, someone posted a picture of a Republican campaign event and the first couple of pictures just made it look like a small gathering, then it zoomed out and it was a small group in a pretty big space, then it zoomed out again and they had used the campaign bus to partition a huge warehouse and make it seem less empty. They must've expected like 1,000 people and gotten a few dozen.

Jeb Bush (1995): Unwed mothers should be publicly shamed.
Click to expand...

yikes. i kinda, sorta agree with old Jebbie on one thing.

One of the reasons more young women are giving birth out of wedlock and more young men are walking away from their paternal obligations is that there is no longer a stigma attached to this behavior, no reason to feel shame. Many of these young women and young men look around and see their friends engaged in the same irresponsible conduct. Their parents and neighbors have become ineffective at attaching some sense of ridicule to this behavior. There was a time when neighbors and communities would frown on out of wedlock births and when public condemnation was enough of a stimulus for one to be careful.

i do remember as a kid, people talking about young girls getting knocked up out of wedlock, but sadly i don't hear about this anymore.
 
If he actually cared about supporting families and two-parent housholds, maybe he should have governed that way. You know, advocate access to birth control, early sex education, support for low income households.

Or you can just call women hussies. That works too I guess.

the fact that the rates of teen pregnancy have fallen dramatically is probably why.

Kinda miss the gossip, or what?

Help me sort this out- Jeb says that when a young man walks away from his obligations that we should shame the mother of his child, right?

Only sluts have bad taste in men, I suppose.

lol, let me sort this out a bit. when i was young, i used to go to church. there was a girl that i grew up with in the church along with her brothers and we were pretty close. she got pregnant and i remember someone mentioning something about wedlock. when i got older, i looked it up and found out what it really meant and find it funny old Jebbie mentioned something like that.

as far as i can remember, she wasn't shamed at all for having a kid out of wedlock.
 
I still say the whole political system is really borked when Jeb can say he's not running yet and just suck up money to run non stop till then.

I'm not campaigning, yet all this money for campaigning is just magically appearing in things meant for campaigning...

But you agreed with Jeb when he said she should have been shamed.

Or is this some sort of conservative compassion thing, beyond the ken of mere liberals?
