    I had not heard that Romney story and it actually really upset me, thinking about that poor dog. What a fucking asshole.

    @bluebears: I hate to point you to the Huckabee dog murdering scandal. I mentioned on another thread that his son had raped and murdered a young dog in the 1990's and a few people knew what I was referring to. His enormously obese eldest son was kicked out of a summer camp for hanging a dog. I think Huckabee was the Governor of Arkansas at the time, and he spun it that his kid was putting an old mangy stray out of its misery. The raping part I might have made up. On the other hand, he never offered any evidence to prove he hadn't raped that poor dog.

    @bluebears: I'd say that kid has definitely been eating his feelings for a long, long time. You can just feel the suppressed rage bubbling beneath the surface. I hope when he graduates to people he doesn't start eating his victims along with his feelings.

    I'm hoping Romney is the nominee in 2012. Jindal after that. The rest of them...never...ever.

    Jindal is also an amateur exorcist.

    "Strangely, I found myself repeating the Hail Mary until it became a chant. Being a recent convert to Catholicism, I had yet to accept the Catholic doc trines concerning Mary and considered any form of Marian devotion to be idolatry. Though I had never before prayed a Hail Mary in my life, I suddenly found myself incapable of any other form of prayer. Somehow, Mary's intercessions allowed me to find peace during that long night; I knew that I had survived the worst and that I would exit with my faith intact. It terrified me to recall how close I came to turning away from Christ out of fear.

    The crucifix had a calming effect on Susan, and her sister was soon brave enough to bring a Bible to her face. At first, Susan responded to biblical passages with curses and profanities. Mixed in with her vile attacks were short and desperate pleas for help...."

    @Jes St.Lawrence: Jindal is pretty well known for his extream brand Catholicism, I remember he actually made some comments about how he considered certain Protestant practices as 'heretical' ...but then i guess that kind of shit appeals to alot of Republican Voters.

    What's really going to hurt Mitt Romney is how similar his health care reform in Massachusetts is to Obama's.

    I still think he's going to be the nominee, though.

    Who among us can honestly say we haven't tied a friend to the roof of a car before heading out onto the interstate? Granted, they're more compliant if they're imobilized by being rolled up in a carpet. But really, a dog cage will do.

    Dobbs disavowed rumors that he might run to '08. It may have been in response to rumors his hack started or callers to his radio show, but it's obviously been at the back of his mind for some time.

    As for a possible scenario, I'd look for him to try and align his own libertarian bent to Beck's agenda, then he might be able to secure the Beck Ticket. This unholy alliance would definitely give him better standing and for the rest of us, it'd help keep the nuts in one place.

    @Magister: I don't think Lou Dobbs is crazy enough to align himself with someone like Beck. He's not a lunatic in the same way that Beck is.

    My concern is that Dobbs is much better at painting a misleading picture of why the whites aint got none of them job-a-ma-jiggers.

    Beck, on the other hand, uses pure insanity to connected totally random things to one another, which glancing at may seem to have some connection, but is truly completely unrelated events more similar to John Nash, if he were a fan of Alex Jones.

    If they were painters, Dobbs would create lots of those black and white pictures where when you look at it one way its a princess, but upside down it's an old woman. Beck makes Rorschach blots out of his own shit and then yells/crys at you until you see what he wants you to see (Karl Marx/Hitler!)

    @Voyou_Charmant:
    Good analogies, but they were (supposedly) trying to get Dobbs to run as third party candidate and if you mix Beck's followers with Dobbs' somewhat better political face, then toss them in with whatever's left of Perot's organization, you've got viable-looking, Republican-splitting, liberal's dream opponent.

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Festival of White Rage was copyrighted in anticipation of the Republican National Convention, which is also known by insiders as HaterFest 2012. You'll have to wait for the album and the concert (Pat and Debby Boone! The Osmonds!). All I can say is that I think it's going to be a little awwwkward for Michael Steele (DJ Wheels of Steele). I sometimes wonder what his conversation with the Devil must have sounded like. "You'll give me money and fame and all I have to do is throw away any shred of dignity or honesty I might have left? Sign me up brother."
