What tonight's debate tells me about the Republican Party's decision.
If Republican primary voters watch tonight's debate and still chooses Rick Perry as their nominee next spring, then the GOP is indeed a suicide cult that is willing to take down not only their party, but the entire country with it.

1. It's not about parties. That is a distraction. Our corp-overlords will decide if they
want 4 more years of Obama (plenty of time to show the American public how futile it is to vote for a Democrat). If they so decide, then one of the idiots will be the candidate. Kinda like McCain and Palin. The corp-overlords wanted Obama. But should they think that there is a chance to unseat Obama, they will run Jeb in 2012 instead of waiting until 2016.

2. I think that Cheney is positioning himself to step in at the last minutee and become
and take over.

This may happen with the approval of the Central Bank who has already been tagged to take command of the country in Cheney's new COC - Change of Command. The Constitution will be replaced with the Federalist Constitution - a new one assembled by the Federalist Society in combination with certain other entities on orders from Cheney. He has had a new COC ready to go for a long time. :o)

:o):o)

3. Then he's kidding himself.
Cheney's as popular as a dose of the clap and his health is shit. Some weird events might get him the nomination, but I can't imagine him winning a general election.

8. Cheney's poor health is quite an issue -- to say nothing of his poor character.

4. Cheney
iirc, Dick "go fuck yourself" Cheney had 11% approval ratings while Bush Jr. was in office.

9. Oh, definitely.
As part of his campaign, Cheney is going to challenge for the heavyweight title in boxing, too.

5. It's Perry's to lose, IMO..
The primary..

And the general is Obama's to lose and I think Perry is going to at the very least scare the crap out of us.

Perry pushes all the wingnut buttons hard, harder than any other candidate, he's going to be like meth to Republican primary voters.

And by the general the M$M will have total amnesia with regards to anything inflammatory Perry might have said in the primary.

6. and man oh man, does he make Obama look good in comparison or what?

sort of like Palin/Bush Jr. on steroids (even dumber and more dangerous - as if that was humanly possible)


interesting times we live in

7. Perspective is a funny thing..
The very things about Perry that most turn my stomach send a thrill down the leg of a majority of my neighbors.

There's not a chance in the world that Obama's going to be able to out-Jesus Perry, that scares me.
