"our loss militarily going forward"

Remember when Candidates could speak English?  I swear to fucking God, it's like having Warren Harding crawl out the grave and start brutalizing speeches.

I don't think there is much hope anymore Dok.  I'm at the train station, I hope it gets here soon!!!

Remember, Dok, remember when we made fun of Reagan for his speaking gaffes?

Remember the first President Bush? Oh, man, we couldn't even believe someone like him had made it into the White House.

These days, it seems that politicians are being groomed based on whether they make the lowest common denominator feel as if they might be equally competent.

How Michele Bachmann Is Tied to the Ugandan Movement to Execute Gay People

Why did Michele Bachmann hire an accused terrorist and ex-spy who pals around with a central figure in the Ugandan effort to make homosexuality a crime punishable by death?

Peter Waldron is a Christian pastor and on-the-ground organizer for the Bachmann campaign in Iowa. He is also, as The Atlantic's Garance Franke-Ruta reported this week, an accused terrorist who spent 37 days in a Ugandan prison after officials there found him with a cache of assault rifles and ammunition in 2006.

Weird, huh? He's also a self-promoting globe-trotting raconteur who actively encourages the perception that he is a U.S. intelligence operative. And, as reporter Andrew Rice—who met Waldron in Uganda in 2004—notes, he is pals with a Ugandan minister named Martin Ssempa: "The Sunday I attended Ssempa's church, after he finished his sermon, the pastor told his audience that he had a special guest to introduce, a visitor from the United States. All eyes fixed on a stocky white man with a thick moustache, who wore a gray safari suit. He introduced himself as Dr. Peter Waldron, of Wyoming."

Ssempa is one of the chief proponents of Uganda's so-called "Kill the Gays" bill, which would criminalize homosexuality and introduce the death penalty in certain cases (it's currently tabled in the Ugandan parliament). He preaches that gay people "eat poop" and shows gay pornography in his church to disgust and inflame his followers. He's no stranger to American evangelicals—Rick Warren has hosted Ssempa many times at his Saddleback Church in Southern California. As MSNBC's Rachel Maddow has repeatedly demonstrated, Uganda is sort of a playground for right-wing American Christianist politicians, who view it as a laboratory of sorts for theocratic policy initiatives. Sen. James Inhofe is a frequent visitor.

On her Meet the Press appearance last weekend, Bachmann tried to play down her gay hatred, claiming that she "doesn't judge" people and believes that gay people deserve to be treated with "honor and dignity." But she's sticking by Waldron, who hangs around with people who think gay people ought to be killed by the state on account of what they do with their private parts. Don't Tread on Me!

Not particularly surprising, but still

When presidential candidates blatantly lie about their resume, how do they expect to not get caught?

"On her campaign website, too, the Minnesota Republican highlights her first career job as a U.S. tax lawyer in St. Paul, arguing that her experience on "hundreds of civil and criminal cases" triggered her interest in tax simplification and adds to her qualifications for the White House.'
...

"Bachmann appears to have represented the IRS only twice in cases tried in U.S. Tax Court - both small cases - according to a search of judicial records by attorney Melissa Wexler, a research expert at Westlaw, a major provider of computerized records."

I don't think they care anymore Dok.  They'll just hand us another lie to cover the last.  I just start with everything they say is a lie and it's worked for me.

No, really, that's exactly it.  Except for Obama's case--and now people call him "too professorial." 

Dubya was elected because he was someone people wanted to HAVE A BEER WITH.

That, there, tells ya a lot.

I suspect Bachmann is like Palin, a Conservative MILF, and all the Tea Baggin' daddies wanna fuck 'em while all the Tea Baggin' mommies wanna BE them.

Sad.  Very sad.

Forget their ideals, morals and their deeds.  Let alone their WORDS.
