I like how all the Republican candidates* (or at least the ones that people care about) mostly have the same opinions on most of the important issues, so they're just resorting to trying to convince the voting populace that the other guy is a massive tool. Luckily, this has been pretty easy for them, because they're all massive tools. Sure, you get the occasional whack-job like Bachmann, who has completely retarded opinions, but we don't really consider those people serious candidates, do we? No, Bachmann is sort of like a defanged, declawed tiger wearing a top hat. Should be a threat, wants to be taken seriously as a threat, but just comes of as pathetically hilarious.
It doesn't help that most of them are terrible people. I love how they're all constantly trying to set themselves up as the "loveable everyman". You know, the kinda guy you'd totally want to go bowling and burn down a strip joint with.** Mitt Romney is especially bad with this. And yep, they're all millionaires. Okay, maybe not, but several of them are. And you know what? They don't give a damn about you and your middle class problems. I have no problem with rich people running for the presidency, but stop pretending you're just like the people you plan to spend the next few years dicking over. The Whig Party already did that back in the 19th century and it...wait yeah, it actually totally worked then.
My biggest fear, really, is that all the self-professed liberals will look at this mass of idiots and think "Oh yeah, they don't stand a chance. Obama's got this one for sure. We don't even need to bother voting." And then they won't. And then President Bachmann. THINK ABOUT TIT.
*Damn, been really political lately, haven't I? I hate myself for that. Must be something in the air.
**This is what other people do for fun, right? It's not just my friends?
