President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob. There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard everyday and put their skills to test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor that [tries] to indoctrinate them.

Republican presidential candidate RICK SANTORUM, on Sunday’s Meet The Press.

No seriously.  This guy is a fucking dick.

The thing is, Santorum actually believes this. But in his defense, I can understand his self interest in ensuring fewer people go to college and become educated; he does have a voter base he needs to cultivate, after all.

The dangerous isolationism of Ron Paul

reallyronreally:

On the one hand, Texas congressman Ron Paul, Republican candidate for the presidency, is a zealous champion of limited government, free markets and low taxes. On the other hand, he reportedly thinks the U.S. should not have gone to war against Nazi Germany. What to make of this heresy? In a word, a great deal – for it may define Mr. Paul’s isolationism.

When some in a crowd of anti-war activists meeting at Democrat National Committee HQ in June, 2005 suggested Israel was behind the 9-11 attacks, DNC Chair Howard Dean was quick to get behind the microphones and denounce them saying: “such statements are nothing but vile, anti-Semitic…

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) says “If you have the inconsistency then you’re not defending liberty.”[1] Paul has always been inconsistent. This inconsistency was noted by conservative commentator Mark Levin who says “Paul is poison. Hate America first crowd.”[2]
A major reason is because the Texan…

It’s funny because it’s true.

So, I have a teacher who’s very informative and is big on social rights and protests and all that and he’s definitely got me more into politics and protests. He was at the “Occupy Wall Street” protests the first weekend and got arrested but he was actually detained for no reason. I’ve been keeping…

May whatever god you believe in bless you.

  • Ronald Reagan:  He “was a Hollywood Commie who raised taxes, grew government, and gave amnesty to illegal immigrants.  That poor son of a bitch would get eaten alive by this crowd.”
  • Thomas Jefferson:  “The man cut up his Bible, loved the French, and had a well-documented case of jungle fever… Try again.”
  • Superman:  “Illegal immigrant.”
  • Optimus Prime:  “He accepted the auto industry bailout.”
“We can’t take care of everybody.”

— Republican presidential candidate RON PAUL, answering a hypothetical question: how would a person who requires medical care and cannot afford health insurance receive the care he needs?

And he’s a physician.  Do no harm, doctor?  You asshole.

I’m glad he said it out loud at least. If we can’t take care of everybody then some people are just going to die for lack of money and Ron Paul says “Oh well!”

It’s official, folks. Herman Cain is done. There’s no coming back from this awful, terrible attempt to co-opt 9/11 for his presidential campaign. That’s how awful an idea this is. He will have a hard time selling himself to anyone but the die-hards after this. (Note to potential video-watchers: This is offensive; it shows video of the plane crashes and sets it to music. Be forewarned.)

There we go, I was waiting for this to go mainstream.

Official goner. We’re now down to four. 

That’s meeting Obama halfway: they will ‘listen politely’ to something they have already rejected.

STEPHEN COLBERT, reacting to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R - KY) saying, of Obama’s jobs speech, that Republicans would “listen politely to what he has to say… but our view is that we have to go in an entirely different direction,” on The Colbert Report.

Let’s see how long they can keep the dickishness up.

Well, not part of the debate — just close enough to the debate so that her presence drowns it out.

I swear to God, she’s not running for President — she’s running to be mayor of Cockblockington.
