It's odd that he hates radical Islam so much, considering how much his own views seem to align with it.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

He doesn't think he's extremist, though.

"I think my views are fairly well-accepted by most people," Fuqua said to AP.

Of course he actually is extremist, as you say, but

Extremists never do. That's how they get their death cults started, by pretending to be mainstream.

Fuqua, who has been backed by the state GOP and is seeking a comeback

You were saying, MSH? Sure, other Republicans are decrying him, but it looks like he has some support.

I was saying that the state GOP are a bunch of morons. The GOP also backed Atkin and Mourdock, and that crazy party platform in Texas. The GOP backs a lot of stupid, crazy things that the vast majority of Americans will reject. Why do you think the party is dying?

Most extremists start to become alike and want to kill each other as the level of their extremism increases.

Does much of anything in this thread have to do with the election now?

American Election Megathread: It's Never Over

not that I'm complaining, this thread is entertaining

Hey, I'm an extremist and I realize it!

Though I don't have any death cults, and only a few of my views are extreme...

[Descan]

No death cults?

You aren't trying hard enough.

[Sirus]

I don't want a death cult, I want a thought cult.

Yes, I am aware that is somewhat of a contradiction.

[Helgoland]

I want a cult of not having a cult of personality of me when I take over - that's just so much better for your image in the history books.

(Do you reckon we might keep this thing going till '16?)

(Do you reckon we might keep this thing going till '16?)

Why not? Maybe change the title to something else?

[Sirus]

Call it "American Election Megathread: Round Two!"

[Glowcat]

Or just another generic American Politics thread to talk about developments, like the Michigan Union busting or SCOTUS reviewing DOMA and California's Prop 8.

[Aqizzar]

Yeah, it's gonna come up somewhere, might as well be confined to one place that everyone else can know to avoid.  And I can lock it if need be and nobody will put up a fuss about it.

[FearfulJesuit]

Yeah, it's gonna come up somewhere, might as well be confined to one place that everyone else can know to avoid.  And I can lock it if need be and nobody will put up a fuss about it.

Maybe you should lock it now and start a new thread that can carry the politics discussion until April or May 2015 when presidential rumblings start to get underway?

[Scelly9]

Why? What's the difference from this thread to a new one?

[Aqizzar]

Yeah, it's gonna come up somewhere, might as well be confined to one place that everyone else can know to avoid.  And I can lock it if need be and nobody will put up a fuss about it.

Maybe you should lock it now and start a new thread that can carry the politics discussion until April or May 2015 when presidential rumblings start to get underway?

Yeah, maybe I should.

And maybe that would completely fucking redundant.  I consider it a triumph that finally most of the inevitable American politics arguments have been contained in a couple of threads that can stay at a low simmer instead of turning into fights in completely inappropriate places.  Anyone who doesn't want a politics discussion can just point to this horse's carcass and say "hey, take it over there".

That would be nice, except that campaign 2016 actually began over a month ago.
