Christie Creme almost comes out as an Anti-Vaccination nut

[tinselwolverine]

Any Christie throws his hat in...

I didn't think the news really needed its own thread...

 

[Michchamp]

Knew this was coming.

only interesting thing will be seeing how they manage to cram Governor Sausage Fingers' "generous carriage" into the clown car. It's already bulging at the seams.

So many Republican candidates at this point, most don't have a chance (like Christie)

Walker hasn't even declared yet, but he is polling second on average?

With the Citizens United ruling, most who must know that their RNC presidential primary nomination aspirations are exceedingly slim, must be not actually campaigning, but instead grifting in order to fatten their PACs?

Either that, or they believe that the polls/votes will become spread out enough to significantly reduce the margins of whoever are the leading candidates.

Ironical to the resurrection of this thread, today California Governor Jerry Brown signed this vaccination requirement legislation into law today.

And as we've already discussed, equally ironic, the Mecca of the anti-vax movement has been right here in West LA, the traditional Mecca of limousine liberalism...or maybe co-Mecca with the upper east and west sides of Manhattan...

Wonder what happened to spockmaster?

According to his posting history, he abruptly stopped mid-April.

Hope that he is doing okay, he was pretty much a daily contributor on DSF.

Of course most of them don't. Could any party have a primary with 15 viable candidates? But that's not even the funniest thing about this unoriginal quote we hear ad nauseum. The best part is because of fools on the left this lying, thieving, self-serving, corporate crony scumbag not only has a chance - she's all but a lock for the Dem nomination - she's basically running unopposed unless you consider that clown show out of Vermont to be a viable candidate...

The Dems can't even come up with a single candidate to run against this slime ball, scandal magnet. In fact, they don't even want to try - they're all-in for her despite her sagging numbers. Now that is funny...

Sadly I agree with most of this.

I probably won't be voting if she's the nominee.

I will vote for Hillary over any fucking Tealibangelical, and your NOT voting is just what the Reichwing wants. There are millions of voters that they are trying to obviate with increasingly restrictive voter ID laws.

I don't expect that you would watch the short video link below, but that doesn't mean that I don't think that you SHOULD.

I'd find it extremely hard to vote for her. I also really dislike the strategy of voting for someone only because the alternative is worse. It makes me feel like I'm not voting for someone who truly represents me.

The ONLY reason I could stand checking that box is knowing that the few SC justices that will likely retire soon won't be replaced by religious right wing judges.

Who was the last president who actually wanted to SERVE as President of the United States rather than enjoy all the boonies that go with the job? I'm going with Eisenhower.

There are three branches of government, two of whom are voted by the US populace, and the third is indirect, being SCOTUS. In a perfect democratic republic, our representatives would not actually represent corporate and lobbyist interests, but it is what it is. We can only try to elect representatives who have a better record of not pandering to them.

There will be millions of so-called conservative voters who will vote for whom they think is a RINO, or who they consider to be not far right enough, and yet they will still pinch their collective noses while doing so.

It's kind of ironic I never watched that show.

I didn't watch The West Wing either; maybe I saw an episode.

I didn't know Will MacAvoy, the Jeff Daniels character, is a Republican.

That show is fiction mixed with reality, but it would be fun to see an independent news network that would expose fallacies and debunk statements and speeches made by members of both major parties, but apparently only those of the Tea Party need the daily reinforcement that Fox News provides.

I wish we, collectively as a nation, could break this mold. It's partly the reason why representation is so screwed up today.

I really despise the two party system.

That's a pretty good choice; I would go with Eisenhower too.

He really didn't need the title to add to his already pretty immense cache, and in the days right before the primary process supplanted the old party bosses in smoke filled room way of selecting the party nominee, politicos of both parties wanted Eisenhower to head the ticket.

Both Roosevelt and Truman approached Eisenhower for the Dems, I have read that President Truman offered to relinquish the nomination for president in 1948 and accept instead the Veep nomination, were Eisenhower to agree to head the ticket.

I think you could make a case for JFK. Maybe Nixon. and Jimmy Carter. Certainly they all more or less spent their lives in service to the United States & the public.

Say what you want about the rest of the Kennedy clan, but at least JFK and RFK seemed dedicated to governing.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Eisenhower might be a better example, but most recent...maybe Ford.
