And still Americans vote for them.

It's terrible whatever has happened to make so many so dishonest.

Another reason it's way past time to clean house on all levels of Federal, State and local governments of Pukes and Baggers.

The best start is to elect Bernie Sanders as our President.

We need a Political Revolution before it's too late.

who lie cheat and steal, putting money and material possessions above all else, including one's character. Put an R next to any puke and that's the candidate they'll vote for.

I know. I'm surrounded by neo-cons and it makes me ill.

6. Which is why only one of them has even a glimmer of a chance of winning

the Repug nomination. Bush has a slim chance only because of $$$$$$$ and name. Talking war to Repugs is always a winning tactic. Cruz is an idiot, women will donate to his opponents due to him trying to take away their ability to control their reproduction. Even anti-abortion women will not stand for getting birth control pills, IUD's or other common forms of birth control taken away. Carson just killed himself by getting caught doing something he said is horrific - doing research on aborted fetuses.

The true person to worry about is Walker due to Koch billions, IMO.

I think I just had one hell of a money-making idea occur to me! Bottled Water! Specifically, GOP Fizz. Crack'er open an' let the "CARBON-AIDED WATER" help keep your heating bills down!

And here's the real draw! 20 - or however many - different labels - each featuring a picture of one of the GOP hopefuls along with one of their classic utterances for a caption! Folks would clamor to collect all 20 to assemble a set (OK, I didn't specify what SORT of folks would want such a set).
If there were 20 eventual choices, we could add a few more super-rare editions with stars like Sarah Palin, Ronald Reagan, etc.. The idea being that 24 different ones would comprise a set. THEN........ wait for it....... We offer these cases of Carbon-Aided water in a carton printed on the outside to look like a clown bus!

OK - who knows someone in the bottling business???

12. "No, me, I'm the crazy one!" "No, I'm crazier!" And that's how you get votes today.

"It's aliens, I tell ya!" "I AM an alien! I'm totally a lizard person!"

They say voters get the government they deserve. Do we deserve this?

I'm off course talking about the "Annoynted" One with a Cuban Fascist being responsible for his existence - Ted Cruz. He has got to own one of the most punchable faces in history.

What the fuck's wrong with saying Yee Haw when you've just won something important?

These deranged loons are turning into burnt-out crankfurters.

It was they who defined the "Dean Scream", they who played that snippet from his speech over and over again, and made his campaign about that.

Good luck finding incidents where the media isolates quotes from Republican candidates and makes their whole campaign about one thing they said, they could say things like above in the OP, they can accuse their own constituents of voter fraud, they can even admit to knowing people who commit fraud, and the media will never make them own up to it like they did with a 'scream'.
