Maybe some sort of disgusting many-headed combination of all of them, much like the ideal GOP candidate.

There, RERAILED.

I just learned that my grandparents are Gingrich people. My mind is full of fuck. I explained to my grandmother about the whole steeping out on his cancer ridden wife and she ignored that but cheered for him hounding Clinton out of office. My mind is full of fuck.

Did I mention my mind is full of fuck?

Did you point out that he was having an affair at the same time as he was prosecuting blowjobgate?

The whole Clinton thing is going to be one of those amusing footnotes in history, I think, like Taft getting stuck in the bathtub.

"They impeached Clinton for THAT?!"

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Yeah, that's about where the second mind full of fuck came from.

On the topic of the anti-christ I recently read The Fountainhead a came across a certain anecdote on the topic:

Quote from: Ayn Rand
It was a pedestal from which a god had been torn, and in his place there stood, not Satan with a sword, but a corner lout sipping a bottle of Coca-Cola.

I thought that that was probably a better description of what the concept of the anti-christ really meant.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Fidel Castro on something.

Quote from: Fidel Castro
The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is _ and I mean this seriously _ the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.

I rather liked the anti-christ character in Good Omens.  I found it incredibly wise, actually.

Ah, good, another Fountainhead reader.  For fun, analyze Romney using the speech Roark gives at his trial.
And some of my family supports Gingrich as well, and all attempts to explain his hypocrisy were met with the standard "Obama is a socialist" answers.

Do you mean in terms of being a second hander, or what? I can see him being one, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean? Is it something about his flip-flopping on every issue?

Well, I don't want to point out the obvious but Gringrich is simply too fat and ugly to be president. He is also batshit crazy.

Nobody votes for people like that when it comes down to it, no matter how loud the ideologes squeal over a candidate, the independents and fence-sitters determine the presidency, settled the last presidential election, they'll settle this one and normal people simply don't like people with multiple chins in power.

Clinton was actually pretty unhealthy and overweight. From what I heard he only ate cheeseburgers on the campaign trail and his coping mechanism for stress was to eat more. Bad eating, constant stress, and no time for exercise ruin a man's body.

Yeah, but that was Hollywood fat. What about real fat, the kind where you might kill a small child if you accidentally sat on them? Not since the advent of television I'll bet you.
