GOP Purity Test

The republicans will lose in 2012 because they will probably nominate Palin or Cheny...or some other fat old guy who likes to hunt stuff...laughable.

I don't think Palin or Cheney will get it. Cheney won't run (due to age and condition, and I don't think he cares much for politics) and Palin probably will but is too divisive to get the nomination. Palin will be worse than the candidate. She'll be a massive distraction from any real candidates, because the media LOVES to concentrate on her regardless of relevancy.

I see Huckabee as a major contender, and Pawlenty and Romney as strong contenders. I'll also expect to see some young Senators coming out of the woodwork with Obama dispelling the myth that Senators aren't realistic presidential candidates due to their long voting records.

And Game: If your last post was intended for me, you're still set to ignore, so don't bother. I only posted on this thread because I could see the title and I thought a Republican's point of view on the situation might be enlightening. And isn't it nice that we've avoided our usual ridiculous arguments? (yes, that question is rhetorical)

I couldn't see how he could be baiting you with that post, and now you're just being rude.

I don't know if he was baiting me. I can't see his posts. He is set to "Ignore". The reason why I posted that was because he posted directly above my post and immediately after my post. I can't see what he writes, I only see that he posted something (the body of the post says he is set to ignore). Now if he was posting something with nothing to do with my statements, then I made the incorrect assumption, but I wouldn't know either way.

Quite literally, he shouldn't bother trying to address me directly because I can't see what he's asking or challenging. I'm trying to save him time and effort that would be wasted. I thought it was only fair that he should know. That said, this will be the last time I mention it, because as you say, it comes off as a bit "dickheadish" (which it is, but only incidentally).

Don't worry, I don't care if he's ignoring me. If he's spreading false propaganda, I'll still point it out for the sake of everyone else. If he wants to live in his dream world where Fox news and MSNBC are equals, let it be. If he wants to spew out his ideas, and not take the time to defend them that's his own loss.

Palin has a chance of winning in the primaries, and that's kinda scary. What they should do is let her go in the primaries and let all the republicans bash her and kick her out fast so that she's ailenated from the party. If they do that, they'd become more legit, in my eyes at least.

Heck invite Cheney too.
