What happens if (as seems likely) the delegates are divvied up so that no candidate has anything like a majority?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Then they have to broker a deal. Sometimes it means that 2 existing candidates team up as president/vice president, perhaps they all come together and put someone who wasn't even running as the candidate.

It would be hilarious if the Ron Paul backroom efforts mean that he comes in a distant 3rd place on the 1st round of voting (when delagates generally vote like they were told to by the voters) but ends up the nominee because his people abused the caucus rules so effectively.

Then they use the little known fall-back method for choosing a Republican candidate:

That is the most accurate depiction of the Republican party leadership I have ever seen.

Illegal immigrants? Muslims? Gays?

I guess ask yourself, "Who would a Republiskek send the Garthim after?"
I guess that makes the Democrats the Mystics: good at heart, but slow, feeble and in decline.

Most importantly, if we're going to stretch the analogy to the breaking point...who's Fizzgigg?  :P

Just another Op-ed piece directed at Obama care....

It makes me see red that Republicans get away with calling the abortion decision "suppressing their religious freedoms", when in reality, they're pissed because someone won't ENFORCE their religious beliefs, i.e. validate their religious oppression. I'm so fucking sick of the double-speak in American politics today. I'm sick of a snake tongue coming out of every politicians' mouth.

Do not listen to this person.  He is not your friend.  He does not have your best interests at heart.  And Jim Henson other did many great things.
