I haven't found anyone who I really want for president yet. I'd vote for John Boehner, but he cries too much to be a strong figure in office. Sarah Palin? Sure, just to watch the left explode and drive themselves crazy (no, I wouldn't vote for her). Mitt Romney? When he admits his Universal Healthcare system in Massachusetts failed, I'll vote for him.

Of all the choices so far, I'd have to go with Newt Gingrich.

Personally, the person I think would be the best president, is Mark Levin. He'd destroy the rest of the non-conservative world on a level even Ronnie Reagan didn't have the balls to do. Of course, he'll never run, because no one would vote for such an arrogant loud mouth.[/technical sarcasm]

Here's a comforting fairytale someone e-mailed me in that case:

A plane is going to crash. On board there are four people: Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, George W Bush, and a young schoolgirl. But there are only three parachutes. Obama grabs the first chute and says "I'm Barack Obama the president, the world needs me!", and jumps out. Then Nancy grabs the next chute: "The world still needs there first women speaker!", and she jumps. Then Bush looks at the little girl and says "I've already served as president and lived a full life. The world doesn't need me. Go ahead and take the last chute." But then the girl says "Thats okay, you don't need to do that. Nancy Pelosi took my backpack."

I would probably vote for Palin. I am curious if she could possibly be as terrible as I suspect she would be, and I am just sick enough to indulge that curiosity.

Unless the CPUSA and/or the AFP have presidential candidates for 2012, in which case I would probably vote for one of them. Because that would be equally interesting.

And you know she has more money than me how exactly? It doesn't take brains to make money.

That she has money does not prove she is not an idiot, only that other people are idiots.

How does your supporting evidence prove she isn't 'an idiot'.

Wealth is not an indicator of intelligence, neither is popularity. Books aren't difficult to write, Paris Hilton has two.

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

Especially when anyone with money can hire a ghost writer. As for being a popular governor, is it a sign of popularity to quit the governorship even before it's halfway done?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

You simply can't call someone an idiot for no reason, that's what I'm getting at. It is a baseless argument.
