Do I look that stupid as to even begin to consider wanting a sleaze-bag slime-bucket semi-competent such as yourself as US president?

Wait - don't answer that.

Newt (I know you're going to run, and you're going to "reclaim" the right and claim you're the most moral candidate):

Since you married one of your high school teachers, cheated on her, and then married another woman, and cheated on her, will you cheat on your third wife?

I think the answer to that would be, "Yes, because I am the lesser of 18 evils."

(less-est, least?)

I'd like to know where Brownback really stands on the atheist doctrine of heliocentrism.

As I read it, the blogger supports Brownback, and uses that hook to attract some aura of something high falutin' to his site.

I imagine Sam is breathing a sigh of relief.

The rambling commentary on heliocentrism is both badly written and self contradictory. It is also rather at odds with such well spoken atheists as Asimov and Sagan. They don't posit the Sun as center of the Universe, though they do put it at the center of our solar system.

If Brownback subscribes to this strange position, then I will feel obliged to counter assert that Arkancentrism is a Brownbackian doctrine, with the corollary that the world revolves around Arkansas so fast that it makes Sam dizzy.

The mental capacity and leadership abilities occupying the office of the presidency has gone from Jefferson to GWB in only two hundred years. How does it feel to be the latest plot on that trend, that whatever evolving forces and methods by which we elect candidates to power has undeniably produced?
Follow up question to their denial of a negative trend like that: I didn't say there was, I meant it as a compliment, that America is holding true to its origins, ideals, and values thanks to the strong leadership of our president. I have no idea what you strangely took it as. Why do you hate America and why do you not support our president, and our troops?

It's not like politicians answer questions anyway sans their self-serving doublespeak.
