Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Yeah, Yale graduate, former governor's wife, former first lady, former senator, former secretary of state...she has no credentials whatsoever.   :rolleyes:

She's going to be the next president of the United States.  You know that; right?

No way.  I'm not saying that THE GOP will win it, but it WON'T be Hillary.  O'Malley or Elizabeth Warren, but no way the democrats will pick Hillary.

Nope!  Maybe we should pick her to run for POTUS; she's desirable!

Several Repug hopefuls - besides Mike Pence who, career wise just committed suicide - decided to slit their throats in that fruitless run for the gold by coming out in support of Pence and his 'discrimination hiding behind religion' legislation.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/republicans-self-defeating-stand/2015/03/31/8ffe064c-d7cf-11e4-8103-fa84725dbf9d_story.html

Alas for Republican 2016 hopes, the leading candidates had already backed the original, discriminatory version of the law.

Jeb Bush said people ultimately "aren't going to see this as discriminatory at all." Ted Cruz praised Indiana for "giving voice to millions of courageous conservatives." Rubio said, "People have a right to live out their religious faith in their own lives." Bobby Jindal, Ben Carson, Rick Santorum and Scott Walker chimed in with supportive statements.


Gawd Bless YOU, Mike Pence!  Bless you sir!   :biggrin:

At this point I think I'll vote for the person the left goes after the hardest because that would be the person they are most afraid of and the one who will set things right.

   Want to bet, I got a $100 saying they will pick Hillary.   :wink: :biggrin:  Another question, how big of a clown car are the Republicans going to need. :shortbus: :sailor: :wink:

Jebby doesn't know his own ethnicity!  :rotfl:

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/Decoder/2015/0406/Is-Jeb-Bush-Hispanic-Yes-according-to-2009-voter-registration-application

Is Jeb Bush Hispanic? Yes, according to 2009 voter-registration application.

Might 2016 Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush be so eager to appeal to the Hispanic vote – the former Florida governor speaks fluent Spanish and once called illegal immigration "an act of love" – that, in a Freudian slip of sorts, he momentarily forgot his own heritage and self-identified as Hispanic in government records?

That's one possible explanation for why Mr. Bush identified himself as Hispanic in a 2009 voter registration application, according to a Miami-Dade County document published Monday by The New York Times.

Of course, it may also simply have been a mistake.


Jindal can't help but show his hypocrisy!  :rotfl:

Bizarro World: Jindal Says Gays Don't Need 'Special' Laws, But Christians 'Face Discrimination'

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said over the weekend that Christians in Indiana needed a law to make sure that they were not forced to serve same-sex weddings, but LGBT people in his state did not need "special legal protections" against housing and employment discrimination.

During an interview on Meet the Press, Jindal asserted that businesses in Indiana were facing "discrimination."

"Businesses that don't want to choose between their Christian faith -- their sincerely held religious beliefs -- and being able to operate their businesses," he opined. "Now, what they don't want is the government to force them to participate in wedding ceremonies that contradict their beliefs."

"So I was disappointed that you could see Christians and their businesses face discrimination in Indiana, but I hope the legislators will fix that -- rectify that."

But when it came to a New Orleans ordinance protecting LGBT people against housing and employment discrimination, Jindal suggested that government was trying to solve a problem that did not exist.

"I don't think there should be discrimination certainly against anybody in housing and employment," he said. "That's not what my faith teaches me. I think the good news is our society is moving in a direction of more tolerance."

"My concern about creating special legal protections is, historically in our country, we've only done that in extraordinary circumstances," the Republican governor continued. "And it doesn't appear to me that we're at one of those moments today."

According to Jindal, "there are many that turn to the heavy hand of government to solve societies problems too easily."

"I do think we need to be very careful about creating special rights," he declared.


These RW/TP clowns can't stop tripping all over themselves going for the gold!

If nothing else, the Repug side of the race promises loads of free and fun entertainment!   :biggrin:

On first official day on the trail, Rand Paul turns in a prickly performance

MILFORD, N.H. — Less than 24 hours after Rand Paul announced his White House bid before hundreds of jubilant, flag-waving supporters, his fledgling presidential campaign seemed to be defined more by his defiant performance when the cheering stopped.

In a series of interviews after the freshman senator from Kentucky declared his candidacy on Tuesday, Paul turned prickly — briskly sidestepping tough foreign policy questions from one journalist, lecturing another on how to conduct an interview, and testily declining to clarify his position on abortion.

And so, as Paul's first full day of campaigning drew to a close, the narrative surrounding his campaign came straight from the candidate. It just wasn't one he'd chosen himself.

:rotfl:

And the Great White 'Libertarian' Hope makes an arse of himself and shows that he's as big a clown as the rest of them!
