Re: Medicare reform, Romney supports the Ryan Plan. I don't even want to go into how horrible that thing is.

It's so bad that even Ryan doesn't support it.

Can I just throw in here that after having so often seen the band Fucked Up euphemized as "F'ed Up" on this board, I now see references to the title of Rick Perry's book "Fed Up" and think for a moment that it's real title is "Fucked Up"?

[Kormod]

Maybe he could write a sequel to that book, using the same cover but adding in the apostrophe. If what he's been doing for the past four months isn't f'ing up, I don't know what is.

This is what his campaign has come to:

Game Show

[Kormod]

I think there's a Santorum Surprise a-brewing. Ron Paul better put on his raincoat.

As is usual in this primary, the joke is becoming a reality:

But the four-day results don't reflect just how quickly momentum is shifting in a race that has remained highly fluid for months. If the final two days of polling are considered separately, Santorum rises to second place, with 21%, pushing Paul to third, at 18%. Romney remains the same, at 24%.

"Momentum's name is Rick Santorum," said the Register's pollster, J. Ann Selzer.

Serious prediction: Bachmann, Huntsman and Perry drop out after South Carolina, if not New Hampshire.  Who does that leave?  Paul, Romney, Gingrich, Santorum?  Am I missing anyone?

[Kormod]

I think that's everyone.

I just want these idiots to coalesce around Newt again, as he's the only not-Romney "likable" enough to get the nomination. Wiener dogs like Santorum are an obnoxious distraction and do nothing but split the kook vote.

I think Perry will stick around for a while longer. His war chest is large enough to sustain his campaign for a few more months. Might as well milk it.

What do you guys think of this video?

Do Black Americans Believe Ron Paul Is Racist?

[Kormod]

It makes me think that Bernie Sanders needs to step up his game and start running for president every four years so people who want to vote for an honest politician can throw their support behind one that isn't completely crazy.

I'm not going to give eleven minutes of my time to watching it, but I wonder whether the phrase "1964 Civil Rights Act" is mentioned even once.

[Smelodies]

I think they would acknowledge his position on it and tell you the good outweighs the bad.  Imagine seeing Paul and Obama debate foreign policy? The Nobel Peace Prize recipient has a lot to answer for, and no other Republican is in a position to challenge him.

You think they would?  You didn't watch it either, I guess.

That's a debate I wouldn't want to have happen (no worries, it won't), because all too many people I normally would consider allies would be with Paul all the way on that particular set of issues.  Shoot, I probably would be mostly too.  But I don't people distracted from the fact that the man is the walking avatar of a disastrous idea of government.

[Barry in Ireland]

I read Paul's book on tape (that's right) a couple of years ago. I knew less then than I do now about economics, I currently know very little about economics, and I still could recognise that dude crazy. So he's not getting the much sought after Barry In Ireland endorsement.
