The best part is that he tries (and succeeds) at dodging the issue by changing what the question was and means. He changed it from being a question about discriminating against a particular sexual orientation to being a general policy against sex (somehow?) to being a question of discriminating on the basis of sex before finally saying that making an effort not to discriminate based on sex(ual orientation) was a social experiment that detrimentally affected the armed force's efficiency.

I know it's nothing new, but I don't watch this BS because I loathe this nonsense.

I'm actually in full agreement with Shitnugget Cumdrip here. If you talk about your sexuality in the military, you should be fired on the spot.

Gay or straight.

Any soldier who talks about getting pussy (or cock) is immediately discharged without honors.

I think that would solve a LOT of our problems.

No, that's stupid.

I'm fairly certain anything you think this would solve is already covered in the UCMJ, and thus would only add a layer of prudish puritanical nonsense to the rest of the bullshit that is being military.

Brentai · « **Reply #463 on:** September 23, 2011, 07:52:33 PM »

is that you would have to discharge basically the entire military.

I ignored that because it's a bad joke.

Gov. Perry Participates in Lighting of Hanukkah Menorah

This is hands-down one of the most awkward things I have ever witnessed.

Palin! Trump! Bachmann! Perry! Christie!

This week the Wheel-of-Media-Obsession turns to Cain.

Could Cain be a legitimate contender?!?!?!?!

Of course he fucking isn't. Last week he said if you're poor or unemployed it's your own damn fault. That kind of shit might fly for Republicans most years, but not in an election where, memo to Herman Cain, the most important issue is jobs.

So really, this continuing game of Republican Roulette tells us two things.

One, the news media like to pretend there's a real race going on here because it's more exciting that way.

Two, there's a pretty vocal group of Republicans who really don't want to accept the seeming inevitability of a Romney nomination.

A lack of enthusiasm from the base is a bad sign.

Of course, it's a problem Obama's facing as well, so the general election is still anybody's ballgame. I'm inclined to think that a contest between two mediocre candidates favors the incumbent (as with Bush in '04, or Gore's stolen victory in '00), but it could still be very close.

Brentai · « **Reply #473 on:** October 13, 2011, 08:19:53 AM »

I know we've seen plenty of "lesser evil" races before but I think this one's going to hit unprecedented levels of blah. Will the results be pre-empted by a new episode of Two and a Half Men? Not inconcievable!

And of course, I still believe the left could not only clinch but sweep the thing if they just replaced Obama with literally anybody.

Thad · « **Reply #474 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:05:37 AM »

This election's going to be WAY funnier than Two and a Half Men.

Just not as sophisticated or high-brow.

Gary Johnson did a Question and Answer on reddit that gave some interesting insight into his opinions and ideas. It's a shame he's going to be sidelined pretty quick, because he's a pretty interesting candidate.

Don't know him; guess he was on Colbert recently but I haven't been keeping up as well as I'd like. He says in that thread that he's in favor of ramping down the drug war, which makes me prick up my ears -- not only is it an issue I agree with, it's an excellent litmus test for whether a politician is actually honest. (Because someone who's out to kiss ass and get votes is always going to play the "Drugs are bad" card, and at the absolute BEST throw some qualified, "more-research-is-needed/states' rights" support behind medical marijuana.) Seems that he comes with the usual Libertarian benefits and drawbacks, though -- dismantling DOE and HUD? No thank you.

On the other hand, he says "There is something inherently wrong with corporate personhood," which doesn't sound very Libertarian to me. Good on him.

Buddy Roemer was on Daily Show the other week and seemed pretty reasonable.

It's sorta weird how every sane person in the race has been sidelined except Romney -- and all the insane people who keep getting highlighted serve as alternatives to Romney.

And how the base turned on Perry as soon as they discovered he was sane on two issues.

Groan. I thought about putting an "Am I my brother's keeper?" line in there but thought it would be far too cute.

Brentai · « **Reply #478 on:** October 13, 2011, 01:37:45 PM »

What the hell, I'm actually starting to LIKE Hermann Cain. Mainly because I make juuuust enough money to benefit from his fucking Bizarro Robin Hood tax plan, and I'm kind of an asshole.

Not that I enjoy the idea of benefitting financially from the misfortune of others, but I am selfish enough that the only reason I don't vote for a full meltdown of the financial system and our social order is because I would find that domestically inconvenient. So here's a good compromise; I don't mind being first against the wall when the revolution comes as long as the revolution actually comes. And if Cain keeps talking the way he usually does, it'll come buckets.
