Tough call between Michele and Perry. I went Perry, because a while back he was all "Hey I'm takin my state and leavin' the union!" and now he wants to be prez. Yeah, let's elect a prez that doesn't believe in the concept of the United States. He wins just for trying to run after that charade.

I got in an argument with my mom about that a couple weeks ago, cuz she's also batshit crazy right wing. Let me preface this by pointing out that this was about 30 minutes into a discussion about how Fox News is the least biased national news channel, and she wasn't aware that he talked about walking away from the US with Texas. "Well, you have to consider the context of why he said that." No I don't. I know he said he might take his state and leave instead of improving the situation he was unhappy with in our country. That's a pretty big hurdle to overcome in a prez race. Perry is the Dem's Repub nominee dream just for that IMO.

The true believers would embrace their hardscrabble subsistence. It's self-evident that their suffering is the result of laziness and other personal shortcomings. If only they were better, more deserving people they would enjoy the same success as their oligarch overlords. Ayn Rand and Jesus told them this in a dream so it has to be true.

It would honestly be interesting for Santorum to have to discuss his view on the word "misogynistic". There is a lot of porn that plays to that or at least to that kind of fantasy, but would he be able to discuss that versus what Rush did or certain conservative policies? Are they mutually exclusive?

RALEIGH, NC—Following Rick Santorum's announcement Tuesday that he would end his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, candidate Newt Gingrich called upon frontrunner Mitt Romney to drop out of the race so the former House speaker could concentrate on the general election. "While I respect my challenger's right to fight through to the bitter end, the time has now come to unite behind one man so we can take back the White House in November," said Gingrich, addressing a crowd of 35 supporters at the Raleigh County Public Library. "My opponent should be congratulated on running a fine campaign. But I need him to swallow his pride, come back to reality, and tell all Republicans to throw their support behind Newt Gingrich as the next president of the United States." Gingrich noted that Romney's withdrawal would bolster Gingrich's fundraising efforts as he seeks to eliminate some of the $4.5 million in debt he has amassed thus far in his victorious campaign.

Glenn

Akin's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him. LOL.

Seriously, this shit falls squarely in the realm of optimistic bullshit about sex that a sex ed class is supposed to cure you of. It's in the same universe as "pulling out before you come is 100% safe". A depressing amount of people believe that bullshit, despite many Maury Povich episodes to the contrary.

I can't see any reason that Akin drops out at this point. He can either lose now. or spend someone else's money and maybe not lose in November. I suspect the Missouri Republicans will have a riot on their hands trying to figure out who runs instead of Akin.
