Based on who said it, I did.

Do atheists have any words for good and evil? Or, are those meaningless concepts to them. I suppose they could've been described as the axis of man-made disaster seekers.
Why automatically put Obama on the ticket?
There's certainly the kind and the asshole. Then there's the bible-thumper...
Why not? He is the in bent and unless someone else wins the nomination, which I don't see happening, it is his to win/lose.
You believe he'll be primaried?
Why would he NOT be? Carter was.
You really are a good little minion. Spinoza, you are not.
Darkness, evil, wicked, light, good, righteous. All terms that any American elementary school child should be able to recognize as being judeochristian rhetoric. the new and old testament translations are page after page of use of them.
That you do not have the ability to discern that especially coming from those two men just goes to show how worthless you really are.
Hopefully this country isn't idiotic enough to elect anyone from the GOP this year.
I don't really see a progressive candidate the far left would rally around. Potentials like Russ Feingold wouldn't run with what is at stake. I also expect the Republican primary to lurch pretty far right, which should help Obama consolidate his party.
"Why would he NOT be?"
Because there is probably no other Dem with a chance of beating him, while risking hurting him with attacks. So primarying him could end up costing the Dems the WH. ing stupid, but I doubt you can grasp it.
Rick Perry's Army of God
A little-known movement of radical Christians and self-proclaimed prophets wants to infiltrate government, and Rick Perry might be their man.
On this day, the Lord’s messengers arrived in the form of two Texas pastors, Tom Schlueter of Arlington and Bob Long of San Marcos, who called on Perry in the governor’s office inside the state Capitol. Schlueter and Long both oversee small congregations, but they are more than just pastors. They consider themselves modern-day apostles and prophets, blessed with the same gifts as Old Testament prophets or New Testament apostles.
The pastors told Perry of God’s grand plan for Texas. A chain of powerful prophecies had proclaimed that Texas was “The Prophet State,” anointed by God to lead the United States into revival and Godly government. And the governor would have a special role.
The day before the meeting, Schlueter had received a prophetic message from Chuck Pierce, an influential prophet from Denton, Texas. God had apparently commanded Schlueter—through Pierce—to “pray by lifting the hand of the one I show you that is in the place of civil rule.”
Gov. Perry, it seemed.
At the end of their meeting, Perry asked the two pastors to pray over him. As the pastors would later recount, the Lord spoke prophetically as Schlueter laid his hands on Perry, their heads bowed before a painting of the Battle of the Alamo. Schlueter “declared over [Perry] that there was a leadership role beyond Texas and that Texas had a role beyond what people understand,” Long later told his congregation.
The movement’s top prophets and apostles believe they have a direct line to God. Through them, they say, He communicates specific instructions and warnings. When mankind fails to heed the prophecies, the results can be catastrophic: earthquakes in Japan, terrorist attacks in New York, and economic collapse. On the other hand, they believe their God-given decrees have ended mad cow disease in Germany and produced rain in drought-stricken Texas.
Their beliefs can tend toward the bizarre. Some consider Freemasonry a “demonic stronghold” tantamount to witchcraft. The Democratic Party, one prominent member believes, is controlled by Jezebel and three lesser demons. Some prophets even claim to have seen demons at public meetings. They’ve taken biblical literalism to an extreme. In Texas, they engage in elaborate ceremonies involving branding irons, plumb lines and stakes inscribed with biblical passages driven into the earth of every Texas county.

Rick Perry Says Social Security And Medicare Are Uncons utional
[PERRY:] I don’t think our founding fathers when they were putting the term “general welfare” in there were thinking about a federally operated program of pensions nor a federally operated program of health care. What they clearly said was that those were issues that the states need to address. Not the federal government. I stand very clear on that. From my perspective, the states could substantially better operate those programs if that’s what those states decided to do.
So in your view those things fall outside of general welfare. But what falls inside of it? What did the Founders mean by “general welfare”?
[PERRY:] I don’t know if I’m going to sit here and parse down to what the Founding Fathers thought general welfare meant.
But you just said what you thought they didn’t mean by general welfare. So isn’t it fair to ask what they did mean? It’s in the Cons ution.
[Silence.]

Bachmann Refuses To Say What Spending She Would Cut If Her Plan To Not Raise The Debt Ceiling Were Followed
TAPPER: Right, so what would you cut? What would you cut?
BACHMANN: Well, immediately what need to do is recognize that we will tell the markets that we will pay the interest on the debt, don’t worry about default. Number two, we will pay our military, and anyone who’s currently on Social Security, you get paid. But beyond that, I would bring all members of Congress together — and this isn’t some project for ten years, fifteen years down the road — and we’re going to reform en lements.
=========
She, and they all, LIE by hiding what they will cut, because they know it would political suicide.
And Carter won. There's no way someone else is the democratic nominee (as happy as I'd be if that were the case).
Republicans are massively shooting themselves in the foot if anyone but Romney gets the nomination. Romney would mop the floor in an election against Obama, heck as someone who's obviously liberal on the vast majority of issues I'd vote for Romney at this point.
No . My first quick scan tells me these are at least mostly reasonable.
This is hard to say. Hindsight has it's moments, but I read two things about this case that make me understand Perry's will to see it through. Before his execution, his wife changed her tune. This most certainly isn't good news for him. Only one in nine independent forensics experts disagreed with the evidence. Of course, the media wouldn't have a story with the other 8. Considering only one expert said the fire wasn't arson, I agree with Perry's firing of the board.(1) PERRY ALLOWED THE EXECUTION OF A LIKELY INNOCENT MAN, THEN IMPEDED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER:
I think the 16th amendment needs revised, but not eliminated. I agree with repealing the 17th.(2) PERRY WANTS TO REPEAL THE 16th AND 17th AMENDMENTS, ENDING DIRECT ELECTION OF U.S. SENATORS AND THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX:
The devil's in the details. The federal parts of course would still be in effect. States should not be obligated for medicaid expenses voted in by the federal government. You know, the states rights thing.(3) PERRY PROPOSED LETTING STATES DROP OUT OF SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICAID:
They are also the biggest state in many ways. California is the only state with a larger population, and by about 50%. They get a significant part of their electrical power from the Columbia River. Arizona doesn't have that luxury. Texas is also spread out more, people probably commute farther. Isn't there also a large livestock industry producing methane?(4) TEXAS IS THE COUNTRY’S BIGGEST POLLUTER, BUT PERRY SUED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR DISAPPROVING OF THE STATE’S AIR QUALITY STANDARDS:
Again, the devils in the details. I'll bet Texas isn't as bad as made out to be.
Anyone do a per capita pollution, excluding livestock and energy?
At least someone is looking out for innocent life.(5) PERRY DESIGNATED AS “EMERGENCY LEGISLATION” A BILL REQUIRING ALL WOMEN SEEKING ABORTIONS TO HAVE SONOGRAMS FIRST:
Poverty...(6) PERRY GUTTED CHILDCARE SERVICES EVEN AS TEXAS CHILDHOOD POVERTY HIT 25 PERCENT:
My God. We probably have the richest poor people in the world. How can we call them impoverished?
As a population, we have always regulated morality in some degree or another. I personally think this was a better nation before such disgusting practices are now mainstreamed.(7) PERRY WAS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF TEXAS’S ANTI-SODOMY LAWS:
I don't know the details here, but it's not hypocritical to want a share that everyone else gets. Might disagree with why, but still right to want a piece of it since it comes from Texas tax payers too.(8) PERRY IS A STIMULUS HYPOCRITE WHO LOUDLY CRITICIZED FEDERAL RECOVERY MONEY BUT USED IT TO BALANCE HIS STATE’S BUDGET:
That would be awesome to see!(9) PERRY SAID THAT TEXAS MIGHT HAVE TO SECEDE FROM THE UNITED STATES:
Can someone show me a that in fact percentage of covered people correlate to quality of care?(10) DESPITE HAVING THE WORST UNINSURED RATE IN THE COUNTRY, PERRY CLAIMS THAT TEXAS HAS “THE BEST HEALTH CARE IN THE COUNTRY” :
I have found that paying out of pocket gives a person better health care than someone stressing the insurance system.
Don't forget to cup the balls WC.
The thought of voting for Obama sickens me, but not nearly as much as having the GOP in the white house after they take the Senate and already control the House.
I don't care about the party Romney belongs to, the fact is he's the one candidate (including Obama) with a proven track record of turning deficits into surpluses at the executive level in both government and business.
He was governor of Massachusetts, god knows that doesn't happen with a Republican unless the guy is moderate to a large degree. Teabaggers will have a much tougher time going against a Republican in office who wants to take away corporate tax loopholes.
The fact a dumb like Mic e Bachmann or a dumb evangelical like Rick Perry are challenging Romney tells a lot about the re ed bible bangers who vote in the Republican Primary.
“ This Cons ution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the cons ution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. ”
It looks like Romney doesn't hate dude on dude butt sex enough to garner tea party support. The sad thing is that I've never voted republican, but I'd probably vote for Mitt if he got the nomination.
Yup, that's the Tea Party. They claim to be so worried about getting the country outa debt and saving our economy, but the one candidate with a proven track record of turning deficits into surpluses won't win the primary because he doesn't thump the bible enough.
