Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans
A few days ago we posted a story for you to discuss the best presidential candidates for Super Tuesday, but I figured it would be an interesting idea to try that again, but split the discussion into 2 halves. This is the Republican half — please only discuss the Republican candidates in this story. Huckabee, McCain, and Romney only.
No discussion over Ron Paul? What is this Fox News?
The vocal minority was snubbed by reality. Deal with it.

Speaking of Ron Paul, etc ...:
Q. A plane with Huckabee, McCain, and Romney crashes. Who's saved?
A. The United States.
(Disclaimer: Honestly, I think with the way things are going, nobody can "fix" this mess)
Switch the the new Opera browser! It's fantastic! It has a new de-Ronulizer feature that removes all those annoying Ron Paul posts! Why haven't you switched to Opera yet? Get it now!!!1!!! It's da best! It's liek the Ron Paul of the browser world!1!!!!1!
What a fool believes, he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away.
After my post above, I saw all the Ron Paul posts. WTF is my problem! - I'm not being sarcastic either!
That's our media for you - /. included! All I see on Yahoo, Google, and radio, (No TV anymore) are the above candidates for Republican. And when you consider that I pass a huge billboard for Paul all the time, I'm pathetic! I've been brainwashed by the media into thinking there's only 3 (Three) Rep candidates.
We as a country are in sorry shape if I'm the norm!
I prefer Flambe as apposed flamebait.
I expect that new faith-based engineering techniques are going to be what it will require to do the things Bush has proposed with respect to manned space flight. In the past we used to worry about interplanetary radiation, food supplies for a six year voyage, and reliable rocket engines. But the advances in faith-based engineering (mostly spinoffs of the faith-based Iraq war) have made it possible to seal up a couple of dudes in a steampunk diving bell and fire them at Mars from a cannon, confident of their eventual return.

Not because we can't discuss him, but I've got other problems in my life.
I put a filter on my connection so that any time the words "Ron Paul" comes through, it is changed to "fringe lunatic reactionary". So far, I haven't missed anything.
I'm pretty sure McCain would dominate the zombie vote.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
This candidate looks presidential - somewhat like John Adams.
This candidate has Senate experience.
This candidate hews to many of the accepted neoconservative principles.
This candidate early on supported the Iraq war.
This candidate's nomination would galvanize the conservative voters.
Republicans, I present to you:
Hillary Clinton (R)
You can't talk about Wikipedia's flaws on Wikipedia
Why do you (and others) have so much faith in polls of people who pick up their landlines when Caller ID says Unknown Caller?
If you must moderate, please moderate as irrelevent, not something bad, because I'm sure someone will find this interest
Oooh, I wanna play!
Big Boss: Your performance is shitty - what gives?
Mid manager: Waah! My car is broken and I don't have the money to fix it so I can't get to work on time!
Big Boss: OK, I'll make you a deal - I'll start paying you more now, but in 3 months your car had better be fixed. I'll take proof in the form of a passed DMV inspection.
Mid manager: AWESOME [takes money and runs off]
3 months pass
Big Boss: You're late - what's up.
Mid manager: My car's still broke! I spent all that money but it still doesn't work right!
Big Boss: Well, you passed the inspection...
Mid manager: Well, yeah, but I only did what I needed to do to pass the letter of the inspection - patched the holes, covered over the busted window, that kinda thing. I had to take the engine out, though. Oh, and I paid the tech's extra, but they did exactly what I told them to do, so I think it's their fault.
Big Boss: Sooo...what do we do now?
Mid manager: Give me more money, and make it so I don't need to pass any inspections. Without the pressure of inspections, I GUARANTEE we'll get this running right.
Big Boss: Ummm...I don't think so.
Mid manager: Waaah! Unfair! [scampers off to complain to the union]

No, but you can learn that -137 is a losing number for lotto, and that the donkey hanging out behind the stables eating grass isn't going to win the race.
SHIT! I just put my whole damned paycheck on the donkey. SHIT SHIT SHIT!
George Bush heard it straight from god himself, dontcha know.
