Why Jon Hunstman would make a crappy president

In my opinion Jon is the most palatable of the GOP candidates as he can work with Democrats. However Sarah Palin was able to work with Democrats while governor of AK and now she has swung to the hard core right. I do not trust Huntsman in that regard. Calvin Coolidge was a moderate while Governor of Massachusetts but once he got to the Oval Office he favored Big Business too.



This is my last article on the who would make a crappy president series.

Why Michele Bachmann would make a crappy president

Good Lord where do I begin?

She rails against government spending but took farm subsidies and her husband Marcus took Medicare and Medicaid payments for his clinic.

Michele has a history of making incorrect statements.

She is very anti gay and is so anti gay I have to wonder if she is a secret lesbian.

She suffers from migraines which could hinder her ability to make critical decisions.

Michele has alleged two lesbians tried to abduct her. I'm sure those lesbians have better taste. Major paranoia there Shelly!

Why Chris Christie would make a crappy president

He hasn't declared he is running but his name keeps coming up.

He doesn't want people making more than $6,000 a year to get Medicaid

He is not in the best of health. Get to Weightwatchers fat ass!

He told a constinuent to mind her own business when asked why his kids go to private school

Why Ron Paul would make a crappy president

Look at the way he raised his son, Rand.http://www.bloggehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifr.com/img/blank.gif


Ron is also known as "Dr. No"

He would not have ordered the killing of Osama Bin Laden

He is anti-choice

His followers are crazy. Believe me I know one of them.

Why Rick Santorum would make a crappy president

He thinks private sexual acts should be legislated. In other words, blowjobs would be illegal.

Rick supported the US invasion of Iraq. Is a fiscal conservative, hates gays, and thought Jeb Bush was justified in interfering with the Terri Schiavo case. He wants limited government but wants to horn in on private family matters and private sexual acts.

Why Herman Cain would make a crappy president

He has no political experience. He was CEO of Godfather's Pizza but that does not make him an expert on running a country. A CEO can act as a dictator, they don't have to answer to Congress. Yes he did run briefly for President in 2000 and served as an adviser to the Dole/Kemp campaign in 1996, but that does not make him a political genius. He also ran for US Senate in GA in 2004 but couldn't even get out of the primary.

He hates non Christians and Muslims

To me he is the Republican's answer to Jesse Jackson and is the GOP token black guy.

Why Newt Gingrich would make a crappy president

He went after Bill Clinton for his extra marital affair with Monica Lewinsky yet he was banging an aide himself.

He left his first wife while she was in the hospital.

He pushed for ethics reform but was charged with ethics violations himself.

He is the original grifter, making money off his name and "running" for president since he left Congress.

Why Rick Perry would make a crappy president

Rick had to pay an ethics fine over failure to report a rental property he owned

He is also rumored to be gay. I don't care if he is gay, just quit being a hypocrite.

His Prayer event was endorsed by loonies:


We don't need another GOP Cowboy President from Texas. The last one was a disaster thank you very much.

Why Tim Pawlenty would make a crappy president

During Timmy's tenure he funded the Twins stadium with tax money, after saying he wouldn't.

He allowed the Minnesota government to be shut down during his tenure and his policies let to another shutdown this year.

He pardoned a sex offender who went on to re-offend, even before the pardon.

He refused to fire his MNDOT commisioner over her response to the I-35W Bridge collapse who was also his Lt.Governor. So the legislature had to do the job.

Also the same month as the bridge collapse the southern part of the state had severe flash flooding which cause millions in damage and several lives. The legislature wanted to have a special session to discuss funding, but he dragged his feet.

Why Mitt Romney would make a crappy president

Mitt had the worst job creation record in the country during his tenure.

Mitt also said his sons helping him get elected president was the most patriotic thing they can do.

Mitt also committed voter fraud

He is also a colossal flip-flopper who will say and do anything to get elected president.
Not a guy I want as president

Starting tomorrow

I will be profiling each of the candidates (declared and undeclared) for the 2012 Republican nomination for president. I will explain why each of them will make a crappy president

If you had to choose between Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann who would it be?

This is a very tough question. I've been over exposed to Sarah for too long, but I know Michele pretty well since she is from my state. They are so much alike.

They both hate President Obama. Both have questioned his patriotism and associations.

They rail against government spending but have no problem accepting government money. Sarah for the Bridge to Nowhere and billing the state of Alaska for nights spent in her home. Michele for accept subsidies for her farm and her husband accepting medicaid payments for his anti-gay clinic.

They are anti-choice

They do not believe in global warming.

Both their pastors have said controversial things.

They had to get notes from their Doctors saying they were healthy enough to run for president, instead of actual medical records.

They are both anti-gay.

They both say stupid things.

They do not know their history.

What do you think?

Sarah is left out of the Iowa Straw Poll...too bad!

From CNN

(CNN)-Former governors Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman announced they wouldn’t compete at the Ames straw poll in Iowa, but the state GOP added them to the ballot anyway, along with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

But former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Texas Gov. Rick Perry – who haven’t yet decided on a presidential bid – were left off.

The Iowa GOP state central committee named nine candidates to the final straw poll ballot announced Saturday.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, and then-unannounced Michigan Rep. Thaddeus McCotter secured a spot on the ballot in June by reserving space at the straw poll. Each paid a minimum of $15,000 to rent space outside the arena where the August 13 straw poll will take place.

The Ames straw poll is an early test of candidate strength in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, with the ability to elevate, solidify, or break a candidate’s rank in the GOP field. It is also considered an indicator of who may win the first significant presidential contest.

Critical members of Gingrich’s Iowa campaign resigned shortly before the bidding process for straw poll lots, hampering an already financially-strapped effort to win big in Iowa. Gingrich did not reserve space with other candidates in June.

Huntsman announced he would not compete in Iowa, choosing to focus instead on the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire

Romney, who also sought the GOP nomination in 2008, also stated he'd sit out the straw poll in Ames. Though he won the contest in 2007, Romney fell short of winning the Iowa caucus, which went to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Romney’s straw poll runner-up.

Palin stated she would announce her intention to run–or stay out of the race–in late August or early September. Perry said Friday that he'll make his decision known in the next three to four weeks.

Americans for Rick Perry, an independent group supporting the Texas governor, told CNN that its efforts to get Perry onto the Ames ballot failed. The group's leader,Bob Schuman, told CNN,"The other candidates sure seem to fear Gov. Perry."

Palin and Perry may have been left off the ballot, but straw poll voters will be able to write in their pick for president.

The addition of Romney, Huntsman, and Gingrich to the straw poll ballot is no special practice. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and Arizona Sen. John McCain all chose to skip the contest in 2007, but were added to the ballot.

And though he placed 10th, McCain went on to win the 2008 GOP nomination for president, proving that results of the straw poll may not necessarily predict who ends up on top.

Not gonna be much of a straw poll. Romney and Hunstman are too chicken to participate. And the rest suck. Tickles me to see Perry and Palin left off, even though they haven't declared. Good job Hawkeyes!

SarahPac's latest report-oh this is a doozy!

From The Wall Street Journal Blog

Remember the images of the Liberty Bell and Constitution on the bus former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin used for her “One Nation” tour last month?

That bus wrap cost $13,708.44, according to her political action committee’s mid-year campaign finance report. The report doesn’t list how much Ms. Palin spent to rent the bus for the “One Nation Tour,” which ran May 30 through June 3. On June 2, the committee paid a Dallas Visa center about $26,000 for “Air fare, lodging, car rental and wireless.”

The report showed SarahPAC spent $1.6 million and took in $1.7 million during the first half of 2011.

The filing, covering the committee’s expenses from Jan. 1 through June 30, also lists:

–$5,794 on a tour of the Holy Land, guided by Sar-El Tours and Travel, when Ms. Palin visited Israel back in March.

–$683 on bookmarks from Nico & LaLa, a Nashville event-planning firm specializing in “swanky, southern and sophisticated,” according to its website.

–$27,850 for Air Partner Private Jets on April 15, and $7,000 in May on Republican Presidential Travel, another air charter firm.

 –$293 for a meal at Ray’s the Steaks in Arlington, Va., the day before Ms. Palin kicked off her East Coast bus tour.

-$18,700 in February to Young America’s Foundation, a conservative youth outreach group in Hendon, Va.

–a $5,000 contribution to Colorado Republican Rep. Mike Coffman’s campaign committee on Jan. 31. On June 29, near the end of the reporting period, the PAC gave $5,000 each to a number of 2012 Republican congressional candidates: Reps. Larry Bucschon of Indiana, Ann Marie Buerkle of New York,  Vicky Hartzler of Missouri, Martha Roby of Alabama, Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania,  Allen West of Florida, Sean Duffy of Wisconsin, Francisco Canseco of Texas, Renee Ellmers of North Carolina, Mike Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and Sens. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Bob Corker of Tennessee. Many of the lawmakers represent districts in swing states or are tea party-leaning freshmen elected last year.

In case you have forgotten, here is that hideous bus:

I'm sure the Peebots are thrilled that they paid $300 for a meal.  Her income is way down too, and Barack Obama has raised $86 million for his re-election campaign.  I think it's safe to say her supporters are turning on her.

So Sarah thinks she can win eh?

Newsweek's latest cover:

Looks like she is wearing her push up bra again.  And no wedding ring either.  But I digress.

Sarah you didn't win in 2008 and you sure as hell are not going to win next year either.  Especially when Babygate comes to light.

Does Sarah actually think celebrities want to kill her children?

From FOX News

OK now Sarah has really gone off the deep end.  Madonna and Matt Damon don't give a shit about her kids.

She even blasts Bristol for leaking her presidential plans.

I'm ashamed Michele Bachmann is from my birth state AND current home state

Michele you are from Waterloo, you should have known John Wayne Gacy was from there.  Bet you don't know the Sullivan Brothers are from Waterloo.  I'm ashamed of you.  We were both born in Iowa and now live in Minnesota.

Sarah quits her bus tour? SHOCKING!

From Real Clear Politics

Less than a month after she appeared poised to shake up the Republican presidential campaign, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has once again receded from the 2012 limelight.

When Palin launched her "One Nation" bus tour on Memorial Day amid a swirl of media attention and excitement from her fervent fan base, many political observers who had once dismissed her were reminded of the jolt that her candidacy could provide to what has thus far been a relatively sleepy GOP nominating fight.

As Palin toured historical sites along the East Coast, she was clearly reveling in the tangible excitement she'd ginned up: She even eagerly answered questions -- from the denizens of the "lamestream" media -- ranging from matters of political process to an array of issues facing the nation.

In an apparent repudiation to those who dismissed her trip as a mere publicity stunt, Palin's openness with reporters about her intentions to visit Iowa and South Carolina -- in addition to her highly scrutinized stop in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire -- lent credence to her repeated assertions that she was indeed seriously considering a White House bid.

Though Palin and her staff never announced a timeline for the remaining legs of her trip, aides had drafted preliminary itineraries that would have taken her through the Midwest and Southeast at some point this month. But those travel blueprints are now in limbo, RCP has learned, as Palin and her family have reverted to the friendly confines of summertime Alaska, where the skies are currently alight for over 19 hours a day and the Bristol Bay salmon fishing season is nearing its peak.

As Palin enjoys her sojourn to the 49th state, she has not reconnected with key early-state figures like Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and she may have jeopardized whatever political momentum she gained from her recent reemergence in the 2012 discussion. Her political action committee's website still greets visitors with a stale banner, announcing the nationwide bus tour beginning "[t]his Sunday, May 29th."

More than a few of Palin's core supporters have grown impatient and confused about her strategy, venting their frustration on Internet fan sites.

The former governor herself has consented to only one interview since her East Coast jaunt ended early this month, and her lack of recent public activity has generated a host of rumors about what her next step might be. Last week, the American Spectator, citing a single and unnamed Republican source, claimed that her presidential decision was imminent. Palin shot this speculation down immediately, but she didn't counter it with anything definitive.

And earlier this week, some of her staunchest supporters grew concerned about gossip suggesting that she had reached out to Texas Gov. Rick Perry about lending her support to his potential presidential run. But two Perry aides told RCP that they were not aware of any recent contact between Palin and the Texas governor.

Palin's extended hiatus could mean that in spite of her readily apparent "fire in the belly," her family has persuaded her not to further pursue the presidency. Alternatively, it could indicate just the opposite -- that she is plotting her next move and wants to ensure that it is well thought-out -- and that she retains the element of surprise. Indeed, the problem with assessing how Palin's movements figure into her 2012 calculus is that she remains one of the most unpredictable political figures in America -- even to her most trusted aides.

There may be a logical hook for Palin to reassert herself onto the presidential stage: A documentary extolling her record in Alaska, "The Undefeated," is set to premiere in Iowa and other early voting states before its July 15 nationwide release.

And in an indication that Palin's team may be on the verge of more actively associating herself with the film, the pro-Palin website Conservatives4Palin.com reported that SarahPAC Treasurer Tim Crawford recently mailed out a solicitation to Palin supporters that offered an early-release DVD of the film in return for a donation of $100 or more to SarahPAC.

"It is absolutely critical that as many Americans as possible see this film -- and soon," Crawford wrote in the letter. "And it's time for patriots like you and me to stop letting the Palin haters and the national news media distort Sarah's record, especially now as America looks ahead to new leadership in 2012."

During the initial stage of her bus tour three weeks ago, Palin said that it would still be weeks before she would make her presidential decision, and her husband, Todd, concurred that the final verdict was "a long ways away."

The realities inherent in conducting the necessary legwork to mount a viable presidential campaign, even for a candidate as unconventional as Palin, may compel her to move closer to a decision sooner than she might have liked. But for the time being, she appears to be in no rush to either enter the 2012 fray -- or to distance herself from it.

Something fishy here.  I gotta feeling Babygate is about to be exposed so she has to get her shit together to defend herself.

Reason #66 not to vote for Sarah Palin for anything

She refuses to debate other candidates.

From The State Column

Sarah Palin, a former Alaska Gov. and reality TV star, turned down an invitation today to the New Hampshire primary debate on June 13. In her place, seven declared or soon-to-be declared candidates for the Republican presidential nomination will take to the stage for a debate hosted by CNN’s John King. The debate will feature Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. Although Santorum and Bachmann have not yet declared their candidacy, they are expected to do so soon.

What a yellow bellied, spineless, gutless, limp, impotent, pussy!  OK limp and impotent pertain to men but in her case I will make an exception.  If she cannot handle a simple debate how is she going to handle major decision making in the White House like starting a war?  Oh thats right God will tell her what to do.
