@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.
"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.
Sadly, I think Ron Paul is an intelligent man, with a few off the wall positions. Admittedly, they are significant, but at least he's not a hypocrite or a liar. Isn't it revealing that that makes him near the top of the credibility list among this amazing pile of loons. He's less batshit insane than the rest.
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.
@BadUncle: Pfft.
Amateur. Cunning use of Roofies remove the need for carpet immobilizing tricks.
Although, points awarded for easier clean-up!

Newt Gingrich's first wife was his high school geometry teacher. She was 26 and he was 19. I'm not sure if they were involved with each other when he was a high school student. It makes for a juicy scandal, maybe. I'm not sure why his curious marital history never really became a liability. He left his first wife while she was receiving cancer treatment, and divorced his second wife to marry his third wife, who is the young staffer with whom he was having an affair during the whole Lewinsky scandal. This dude is definitely a winner.
@Princess Commands, Darling: I'm quite sure the Founding Fathers never intended states to oversee athletic running competitions OR picking winners & losers.
I hate that word. What ever happened to "Talking Head" or "Blowhard" or all the other time-honoured lingo we used to use for such professional yappers?
This story makes me blind with rage, just as the Phillip Garrido story does. I won't even make all the obvious statements except to say we need to do better than this.

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