Send In the Clowns: Yippee! We’ve all got a front-row seat at the three-ring Stupid Party circus.

Very true. And the only recent republican presidents to serve two terms in office were both vemonently reviled by the left. If the GOP runs the middle of the road candidate in 2012 then they will effectively hand Barack a second term. Can’t imagine what this country would look like after 8 years of this corrupt, gangster leftist, theocracy.

I thought this was a BLOG POST from NR, not an actual article!!! What a POS!

There’s no reasoning involved when it comes to the Sarah Bots. It’s pure emotion. If you don’t agree that she is a modern day Ronald Reagan their heads explode.

This coming from the PDS brigade, who uncritically lap up every liberal MSM attack on Palin and ask for seconds. Before you bash the Palin supporters, try cleaning up your own act first. And if we wait for a conservative who hasn't been savaged by the MSM, we're gonna have a long, long, LONG wait.

What you and the pinhead who wrote this misses is that Obama is doing a bang-up job of sending himself into the polling basement to where no level of MSM spin and bias can pull him out for a re-election win in 2012.

Does NR have a cookie cutter to stamp out these FrumFrum’s by the dozen? Looks let this guy has retained the stupidity from his progressive upbringing....David Kahane likely wants to bomb the crap out of QauckDaffy and managed to vote for the Conservative Obama too.

Here come the Sarah Bots, swarming in like a herd of locusts. They're poised to pick your bones dry.

Oh, please. Spare us the invidious (and untrue) comparisons to Paultards and Troofers and Code Pink.

Can’t imagine what this country would look like after 8 years of this corrupt, gangster leftist, theocracy.

What we need is eight years of Palin, the first four devoted to supporting AG Bill McCollum and Solicitor General Ken Starr in rolling up the Democratic Party -- all of it -- with a RICO investigation and criminal indictments for BO and Slick Willie and half their cabinets, including 100% of their former Goldman Sachs cabinet members.

The objective after four years should be to have BHO and WJC both in prison, the word "Arkancide" added formally to the OED, and 100% of CAIR's membership deported with prejudice back to the jihadi-supporting terror states they came from.

Oh, yeah -- and Osama Bin Laden stone dead and entombed with a slab of bacon underneath the ruins of the World Trade Center.

I'll admit, this article was a bit childish, but I had to laugh at this line:

"Ron Paul. No, not the bore worms! Ambassador to Outer Space."

He's pitch-perfect for Bill Maher and Al Franken. I had to read his earlier, July 2009 piece (linked above, courtesy of our FRiend) to get an inkling that his objective might include satire.

Still want to know <snort!> what his idea of a sure-fire GOP candidate might be.

Amen bump. To win, you have to beat their something with something of your own. Obama's balances are sinking faster than the Fed's.

NRO says that the bottom line is "Forget Romneycare."

Can't imagine why.

Clinton spent a huge amount of money on generic anti-Republican advertising in key states before the 1996 campaign opened (this went under radar because they didn't spend any in the states they were already sure of like New York and California). Then Dole had to use all his primary taxpayer-supplied campaign money to get the nomination (fending off people like Steve Forbes who had endless amounts of money but no chance of being elected)...so Dole was broke until the Republican convention.

Dole was a poor campaigner against one of the most skillful campaigners ever but kept Clinton under 50% of the popular vote. I don't know if anyone else who ran in 1996 would have done better.

I like what I have seen of General Petraeus but we don't know where he stands on issues not related to the military or national security, and he may have no interest in going into politics.

Of 43 men elected President to date, there haven't been that many generals--Washington, Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Eisenhower. Only one in the last 120 years since those old enough to become generals in the Civil War got too old to run for President.

I'm no Sarah-bot, I'm leaning towards her but would like other viable options as well so we have a good choice and a good primary.

But you apparently just like insulting those who favor her with lame, pointless ad hominem responses. It's what we've come to expect from the PDS brigade.

And in case you failed to notice, no one has attacked neverdem for his post, as it was reasoned. But you came wading in and provoked a flame war with your #16, and then have the nerve to post large-font 'Exhibit A' and 'Exhibit B' posts when YOU started the flames.

So how's this for exhibit A - kiss my pasty Arse.
