Taibbi neatly summarizes the NYT piece for "everyday" Dems

whenever graham says stuff like that, he just seems like mr. smithers protesting too much.

"get in line, ladies!"

Im hoping its a rotating cast of drag queens performing as first ladies of yore

lmao http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/voter-shows-santorum-campaign-stop-article-1.2252356

I am praying that Rick Santorum catches fire. You can take that any way you like.

"Toft isn’t sure she’ll vote for Santorum because she has to get all of the facts first, she said to Politico."

on the hunt for facts

there's some over there

man, i would love to show up at a santorum campaign stop and just have 60 minutes to shoot the breeze with ol' rick. i have a lot of questions for him...

for example, i'm curious what he thinks of the new pope

I can't wait to see Jeb and Santorum field questions about their beliefs jiving with the new pope on a big stage. Not sure how you can run trying to court catholics when you say their pope is full of shit on some really core issues.

maybe Mel Gibson can give them some pointers

idk i bet you a lot of the american hierarchy thinks the same

santorum is just a cafeteria catholic

just sittin' around, drinkin' a beer w/ ol' rick, talkin' 'bout the pope and dead babies and stuff

Not sure how you can run trying to court catholics when you say their pope is full of shit on some really core issues.

Though to be fair, many American Catholics have been saying for years the other popes were full of shit on core issues.

Those just aren't the Catholics that show up at the rallies, serve on the Supreme Court, etc.

more curious about what Scalia thinks of his new pope

I'm still convinced - though I haven't met or heard from any of these people - that there are Catholics out there who still believe Benedict is the pope since he's still alive.

I mean, FOR GOD'S SAKES, you can't have two popes. Didn't The Matrix teach us anything?

Don't they just declare one the antipope? I'm currently reading a book on medieval history but I haven't gotten to that part yet.

if the first pope abdicates, and he's infallible, then i'd think his abdication is infallible as well? just guessing since i'm not a catholic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipope

Yeah there have been two popes before. Lots of Evangelicals are into pope conspiracies tho, and this guy is socially liberal, making for a healthy market for pope Birtherism.

Pope Palpatine vs Pope Obi-wan

i know 3 of you just went to work on lightsaber duel jpgs

really gonna get no traction with "Clinton sucks" articles here, right?

What makes you think no one's read them?

Most of us have been posting "HRC sucks" articles since Teapot Dome.

i'm always interested in seeing the brave new frontiers plumbed by a particularly groundbreaking 'clinton sucks' article

https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00000019&cycle=2008

Unless things change drastically I think it's pretty safe to assume she will remain a pro-banking corporate democrat and most "HRC sucks" articles will just be nit-picking.

morbius, plenty of us hate HRC and we've made it clear! but if it continues to fuel your sense of superiority to think we're all her shills, by all means, continue...

he thinks this place is an extension of the DNC and the DLC, which can happen with the wrong bifocals.

i love HRC but it's not bc i'm ignorant of left-wing complaints about her so no need to keep posting the same screed on my behalf.

maybe we can get you two your own secret borad to talk past each other on

he thinks this place is an extension of the DNC

I don't, goddamn you, but I don't understand the endless teeheeing at the GOP clowncar, who I find about as funny as actual clowns.

amateurist i know from your film predilections that your sense of superiority lies elsewhere.

btw if you hate HilRod, but are voting for her in Nov 2016, both she and Mordy thank you and invite you to the inauguration.

oh I don't really care if anyone else votes for her I'm not that enthusiastic I just like her

mordy can I be yr date to the inaugural I want to listen to fleetwood mac

so '92, yesterday's gone

i have no idea what i'll do in november 2016... because it's 17 months away! i doubt i'll vote for HRC in the primary, but if i'm still in a swing state you bet i'll vote for her over scott walker or rick santorum.

but in any event i don't subscribe to your particular political calculus, which seems designed to achieve nothing but a sense of self-satisfaction, may the world rot.
