I just noticed this thread. I can't be assed to read the whole thing, especially not when the last set of comments are about how it's turned into a religion thread.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't try.  Do tell us about your support of Gingrich though, you have my open invitation to expound (objectively) on why you believe he is the best running candidate for President.  And my express assurance that I will try to shut down any improprietous arguments with you provided you stay cool.

How is FSTDT a troll site?

Because it's (almost) nothing but people intentionally posting ridiculous shit so they can then link to it or see who responds.  It's like ConservaPedia, 90% of the crap was put there as a joke, to watch the five people who take it totes srs burst into flame from commenting on everything.


Let's talk New Hampshire.  Early polling suggesting Romney getting ready to run away with it, after Jon Huntsman has banked his entire effort there.  Aq's Prediction: Everyone will swear New Hampshire is meaningless from now to January 9th, it will be The Deciding Election on Jan 10th, and everybody but Romney will swear New Hampshire is meaningless from Jan 11th in perpetuity.

So Santorum's statement about wanting to invalidate gay marriage (including already existing marriages) was nothing more than a ploy to get quoted on FSTDT? The guy wants a constitutional ban on them. Plenty of quotes are the real deal.

Thomas Aquinas.

Nothing better than basing your modern beliefs (a.k.a. opinions that ignore statistics&factual evidence) on the dogma of an 18th century Catholic. Hah.

That's the Primaries for you. It's mostly a horse and pony show until the convention anyways. Mitt will be the winner by the end of this, the rest of the candidates are either too insane to elect (Santorum, Paul&company) or TOO evil, ala Rick and Gingrich.

All in all, each of them are very weak Presidential candidates no matter how you slice it up, though. I couldn't see any of them doing a satisfactory (not good, good presidency is a thing of the past) job, in any scenario.

Yup - There's a new one going around reddit right now:

"They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and regulations low, that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom or in cultural issues. That is not how traditional conservatives view the world."
-Rick Santorum

See, the thing is that he is almost as ridiculous as Bachmann and Cain, but he just hasn't had his chance to melt under the "anyone but Romney" media spotlight yet.

Romney, being somewhat smart, is keeping his mouth shut while everyone implodes around him.

(Dr.Feelgood has received a 2 week mute for trolling.  This isn't the first time he has pretended to be an extremist, by his own admission, and he edits his old admission posts to cover his tracks.)

[Mictlantecuhtli]

And here I was, excited at the prospect of Toady giving his thoughts on the subject...

Nothing too serious, I just like his opinion about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I am Israeli by the way, so there's nothing objective in that :-P.

I...fuck...last time I checked that was how traditional conservatives viewed the world. Unless of course he means social conservatives, then fuck that shit.

[nenjin]

Conservatives only want to be left alone when it's their money or their religious beliefs. When it's all about crushing some minorities right to equal treatment, why, bring on the Federal Gov't!

That's why I can't stand the small gov't crap. At least Dems stand behind the value of gov't for good or ill....Republicans want their cake and they want to eat it too.

Gingrich only really supports Israel because he is an evangelical christian and the state of Israel with Jerusalem as its capital is a prerequisite for the apocalypse that he prays for.

Hmm. You edited...

Ok? The only way to get a single state solution to the conflict would be to ethnically cleanse all the Palestinians. And Gingrich is fine with that.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Good old Israel, the most likely reason for WW3. I don't see why Pan-Arabism didn't catch on, it'd solve a plethora of issues in the middle east. Especially considering how the borders for a majority of the Non-european world was drawn by people with no control over their own lands..

Being a quarter Jewish in blood, it may strike some as odd that I take such a stance. But IF Pan-Arabism wasn't Anti-Semetic in nature, I could back it completely.

Too bad the ethnicities involved are too deeply rooted in their bitter hatred to give a damn about reasonable solutions. I'm looking at you, Netanyahu.

I took the quiz but it was frankly completely stupid. I was able to answer maybe three of the questions without 'None of the Above'. Boy America sure is out of ideas if that is all they have to offer.

Those are positions of candidates, and since the least right wing candidate in this election is Obama, them sure most of those positions are going to be very similar.

[Sirus]

I think it should be a rule that if you answer "none of the above", then you should post what solution YOU think is best.

Well support is support, and besides, Bush is an evangelical christian and we (Israel) loved him as a president.

e, Honestly I don't care if it's him, Romney or any other pro-Israel republican. Romney sounds less radical, which is a Good Thing.
