3 Helloooo!

4 Does it feel good telling your own punchlines?

5 Rick Perry - bitches. Romney is so - strange?

6 Barry is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure, miserable failure.

7 Sure looking like Rom v. Per for all the marbles.  Then again things happen.

8

Perry = !Romney

The science is settled.

9

Other candidates though are seeing their negative image ratings rise. Bachmann is still more popular than not with a 49% favorable rating. But 39% say they have an unfavorable opinion of her.

 

Do you think the 39% unfavorable is against oral sex?

10 You fucked up, Michele. You trusted us.

11 I think this race quickly arrives at the conclusion that one these men can really kick ass and be believed. I don't think this favors Willard.

12

 You fucked up, Michele. You trusted us

Paul Revere's lantern was a wee bit too bright.

13 I'm really hoping Perry does well in the next debate and avoids any serious gaffes.  He's the only legitimate and credible "not Romney" candidate left in the race, and none of those who have been rumored to be considering a run strike me as a better alternative.

14 Alternate Headline: "Confirmation Bias Confirmed."

15 When and where is the next debate?

16 O/T  Stolen from Instapundant.  Good Stuff.

17 The people I want to poke with a stick are those "conservatives" whose sole mission is to raise the unfavorable ratings of other candidates by tossing out a million (almost always untrue or misleading) charges against them in the hopes that one sticks.  I hope those folks eat shit. 

18 I'm waiting for the coveted Palin endorsement.

19 Who the fuck is this Romney guy?

20 I'm good with this. Narrow the field down to Perry and Romney, let them battle it out, and may the best man win....and whoever that is.....send them into the ThunderDome against Obama with sharpened Swords and posion tipped arrows!

21 New Hamphire is just a creepy little faux Vermont, like Vermont with a little goatee.

22 I wouldn't marry either one of them but I could vote for either.  I don't want a pissing contest that wounds them both to Obama's benefit.  Let's play by the civility rules that the NYT would impose upon us (even if the Times doesn't think that those rules apply to liberals).  A good clean fight and then the winner can use broken beer bottles on Obama.

23 Mitt doesn't win Yankee NH he is fucking toast. 

Perry should just make it honorable and kick his ass the rest of the way.

Mitt has not a fucking snowballs chance in hell in SC.

Vermont in the mirror-mirror universe.

But you need a winner who is willing to use broken beer bottles on Obama.

26 gardasilmuslimlovingfunnyaccentconfederateamnestywhore!

27 Rick Perry is the original Nietzsche Superman.

Attacks by the mainstream media make him stronger.

28 But you need a winner who is willing to use broken beer bottles on Obama.

I wager 400 quatloos on the newcomer.

29 but Romney holds his critical first-in-the-nation primary state with a strong lead, guaranteeing he can't be knocked out (if that even seemed a possibility).

I have been saying a long time he has NH locked up. He is almost a favorite son candidate there. It is surprising that Perry has anything there.

Romney appears to have adapted Rudy's 2008 strategy. Skip Iowa, campaign in NH, skip SC and go to FL.

Bachmann will take Iowa, Romney will take NH, and it will be either Bachmann or Perry in SC.

RP will get his single digit percentage of potheads in all three states.

30
Vic, I think you're giving Bachmann too much credit.  I think she's gonna start fading fast.

31

@31

 

Her fade has already noticeably begun.

32

Instead of a debate, I want to see them take each other on in a "Barack Obama is such a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure" contest.

Ron Paul:"Barack Obama is such a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure that when Bernanke was talkin' about QE II he thought he meant a cruise liner."

Crowd: "Ha, ha. ha, ha."

Rick Perry:"Barack Obama is such a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure that when he has sex with Michelle, he has to use two teleprompters so he knows when to moan and when to grunt."

Person in crowd: "BURN. SNAP!!!!" 

Mitt Romney: "Barack Obama is such a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure that when he has sex with Michelle, he has to be on bottom because he can only fuck up!"

Crowd: "Ooooooooooooo."

Michelle Bachmann: "Barack Obama is such a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure that he had seven more stars sewn on to the American flag in the oval office.!"

Crowd: "Hoo hahoo!"

Steve Huntsman: "Barack Obama is such a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure that he made me his ambassador to China.!"

Crowd: "Wah?"

 

33 Bachmann will take Iowa

Not so fast, Vic.  I bet that, at most, she and Perry will get the same number of delegates.

34 Vic, I think you're giving Bachmann too much credit.  I think she's gonna start fading fast.

I don't think so. Romney is fading but Bachmann was still showing a surge before Perry got into the race. I still think Bachmann will take Iowa.

Right now SC is unknown. We really need a new poll here but I would prefer they do it after labor day.

35 I'm waiting for the coveted Palin endorsement.

Posted by: toby928™ at August 17, 2011 06:15 PM (GTbGH)

I prefer they narrow it down to Perry and Bachmann and both Romney and Paul go home and retire forever.

36 In any case, we still have > 5 months until the first primary/caucus. That is an eternity in politics.

37 "20 Who the fuck is this Romney guy?" He's the cat who nominates the next Justice Souter or Justice Stevens. Further solidifying the fact that progressives win even when they lose.

After reading about Bachmann's behaviour the other night in Waterloo when she refused to listen to Perry's remarks, demanded the lighting be readjusted for her before she entered from her bus where she seemed to be hiding, and her failure to mingle with the crowd, I'd say her chance of taking Iowa have been greatly diminished.

 

I don't like all that diva shit.  And those in attendance in Waterloo were not impressed with it either.

40 I don't like all that diva shit.  And those in attendance in Waterloo were not impressed with it either.

The write up I read on that from Fox didn't have none of that. Basically all that happened was BOTH candidates avoided each other. She waited until he finished and when she came in he left.

That is normal when two candidates are at the same event.

Every report I've seen states that Rick Perry remained and listened to her speech and engages in applause several times.

The report I saw on Fox said he left.

43 "Barack Obama is such a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure that when he has sex with Michelle, he has to use two teleprompters so he knows when to moan and when to grunt." I think the sound more closely approximates: SQUEAL! Oink! SQUEAK! Oink! SQUEAK! OINK!!!

Outstanding!

45 I have just read 6 accounts of that event and the ONLY one that described the "lighting" shit is Politico, the NYT of the internet.

All the others simply talked about the speeches and different styles.

Kommie Karl Kameron is the one who said she waited until he finished and then he left when she came in.

46 The Learning Channel: "Bachmann and Perry finished their appearances by engaging in sweet forbidden Texas-Minnesota love. Followed by questions."

47 18 Iowa: Perry
NH : Romney
SC: Perry
Super Tuesday.. : Perry.

My prediction.

48 If Perry takes FL after Romney takes only NH Romney is sunk.

With the vitriol being thrown a Rick Perry today, from the left, the RINO elite like Kraut, and conservatives who have their panties in wads cause Perry has eclipsed Bachman: he packs heat, boys and girls. He can take your sticks and stones. Fire away at him, it makes him stronger. I hope he answers all the Kay Bailey Hutchinson/W Bush flak that failed before that they are all rehashing (plus; his Texas accent and swagger:::big deal).

I am mad at conservative blogs who claim to "embrace" the Tea Party of small government, border security, and pro-life/anti-abortion who are throwing as many dirt clods as the RINO's because their Romney is threatened. They are po'd about Bachman, I guess, or have a deep hatred of President Bush. Shame on them. I want a guy who will not take any Alinksy crap from Obummer. Romney will politely dance around the preznit's insults. Perry won't.

I'll be damned if I am going to slam GOP candidates (ok, Ron Paul). I would vote for Rick Perry today but I will vote for any of our candidates in 2012 against that JEF SCOAMF.

I am sure this has been discussed on this blog before, but "What makes a candidate conservative?" Rick Perry passes that test, no?

50 24:  You know some of us hate to hear this kind of  language all the time.  This is the language that obamao and all of his czars and certainly Rham (?) would use and politico etc., but you wouldn't hear Romney use it and I hope not Perry.  So how about using the English language without the profane!

51 I am sure this has been discussed on this blog before, but "What makes a candidate conservative?" Rick Perry passes that test, no?

If you go back and look at those evals that I did for the candidates, especially the first one, I listed the 6 categories that I thought would be the most important for conservatives this election. I then tried to obtain the best data for each category I could find from primary sources.

Perry came out OK but he does have some weaknesses.

52

"Rick Perry passes that test, no?"

Maybe...Yes and No! It's simple...if he passes the purity tests from the Tea Partiers, HardRighters, Conservatives, and the Bible Thumpers...he may win the Presidency by the biggest margin ever.

He still has yet to do that, but it does not mean he will not bbe the favorite and get the Nomination.....It is just super early still.

53

Vic, I am in a heavily GOP county. We would vote for Romney if he were the only choice, and he would have won in 2008 of that turncoat Charlie Crist had not supported McCain while throwing Guiliani under his orange bustier. Keep in mind we elected that bald guy,Gov. Rick Scott, over the chosen GOP insider wimpo, McConnell, blessed by Jeb, and who was Charlie Crist's cabana boy or AG or something. Rick Scott, businessman, may prove to suck lemons like all the rest, but I voted for him and my sweetie, Marco Rubio who is perfect in every way possible.

If there is a choice between Perry and Romney, I think Perry would win. If Bachman is thrown in, meh. Don't get me wrong. I like her...as a strong GOP conservative Senator. I love Paul Ryan, and could go for him as pres or VP if he ran, but not sure if he'd trump my current Perry or not. Folks her are talkin' Perry.

Romney has two bad things going for him: Romneycare and his religion (which matters not at all to me, as I have said before, I like Mormons). The South Florida bunch are wacko, so not sure how they'd go, but the rest of the state would go for Perry. I hope we'll see a poll someday.

That said, if Romney is the nominee against that flaming socialist there will be no contest on who I vote for.

 

54 Romney was the first one I evaluated. He was massive fail in every category. 0 for 6. He was the most liberal candidate of the bunch, even beating Huntsman in the most liberal category.

I would have to think long and hard if he winds up getting the nod. In addition, Rasmussen says the tea party will run a 3rd party if he gets the nod and 18% of the normal Republican voters will desert to 3rd party.

So let us pray that Romney does not get it.

Vic, this Florida poll was taken last month before Rick Perry jumped in:

61 Vic has gone to bed.

62

It looks like it will boil down to Perry vs Romney.  Bachman will fade as Perry replaces her and her gaffes/lack of executive experience catch up with her.

Agree that whoever wins Florida will take it.  Agree with #54 that Romney looked to take Florida in '08 but then Crist helped McCain take it and that really changed the race.

The race will really boil down to the independents.  Perry (right now, let's see if it lasts) has more support with the conservatives than Romney.  But Romney probably will do better with the independents so may be better in the general.  We'll have to see.

#55 - a third party run by the tea party means that O is reelected.  The Tea Party will be destroyed if they go that route - even they must realize that.

 

 

 

63

"But Romney probably will do better with the independents so may be better in the general. "

I gotta admit, I was a Romney leaner voter -- his blandness, but then I heard Perry say the Fed's books need to be opened, the more I listen to his fiscal conservativism, the more I like Perry. 

I did not like that whole "treason" insult against Dr. Bernanke, he started saying "treachurous", and switched to "treason", he should have stuck to the first and initial word. But Perry was right on the money with his charges of devaluation.  He needs to mainly stick to attacking Obama and touting his jobs record as well as who can fight harder on the economic issues against the Great messaih. 

The best thing about Perry, he fights back hard, and Karl Rove seems to hate him, which makes me like Perry even more.

64

The only good thing about Perry is that the Bushies hate him.  This is because he is the mirror image of Bush.

 

As for Romney's popularity, it says something about the voters in NH that they can support/like someone who has a psoition decided by the time of day. 

65 Thanks a lot, this article is quite interesting, My partner and I anticipate reading through more of your website.

66 What does it say about the state of things that Romney was the best choice in '08?
