Ted and Carly
Author: Raine    Date: 04/28/2016 13:22:41

So we have our first presidential ticket and it's not even from one of the nominees.

The last time this happened was 40 years ago. The candidate in second place at the time nominated Pennsylvania Senator Richard Schweiker. as vice-president. That candidate was Ronald Reagan and he did not win the GOP nomination. It was Gerald Ford who was later defeated by the man who would become President James Carter. According to Wiki, "The race for the nomination was the last one by the Republicans not to have been decided by the start of the party convention." I can say with authority that Cruz and Fiorina are no Reagan and Schweiker.

Looks like history might be repeating itself.

Carly Fiorina -- now seriously-- Cruz choosing Fiorina is really playing the women card. By picking Fiorina, Cruz will use her as cover for sexism, I guarantee it. The next few weeks are going to get even worse.

Updated to add some juicy schadenfruede from the GOP :
Former Speaker of the House John Boehner called Ted Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh" during a Wednesday evening talk at Stanford University. In between a series of jokes and seemingly serious opinions on the 2016 election, he said: "You can call me boner, beaner, jackass, happy to answer to almost anything." Of Cruz, he noted: "I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life." By contrast, Boehner described his friendship with Donald Trump as close, adding that they're "texting buddies." He spoke favorably of John Kasich, too, calling him a friend: "I love him." Boehner said he'd vote for Trump in a general election, but that he wouldn't consider voting for Cruz.



Happy Thursday!

Mornin' all!

That Boehner interview is priceless.

Guessing Ted has never heard the phrase "don't put the cart before the horse".

Cruz will spend ten minutes explaining to you how God told him to put the cart before the horse, because you should always put God before everything blah blah blah...

So Prince passing has done two things for me. I picked up my horn again and have been trying to recover my neglected chops...and my old friend reached out to me and said "can we talk?".

There is not a level of trust here, but all solutions begin with a conversation.

That has "win" written all over it. Plus - the Reagan-worshippers' heads will explode, so that that's just bonus.

Good morning, bloggers!!

Trisec, to use one of my favorite Star Trek lines, there are always possibilities. See where they lead.

No subbing today. I am job hunting on a cold spring day.

As for Ted Cruz and Carly Fallorina, Barbara Boxer said that they could be called mean and meaner. I guess she knew that Dumb and Dumber were already taken.

I see from Facebook that I should wish Mrs. TriSec a Happy Birthday!!!

So, this happened.

Grrrr! I've had correct yet another friend on Facebook about Hastert. I'm sure you have seen the meme about him calling for life in prison for paedophiles, then saying asking for leniency for his molestation? While the fact that he was a serial child molester is true, that is not what he has been found guilty of. He's guilty of violating banking laws in connection with his molestation.

I still love what the judge did and said.

I am glad he'll be gone for as long as he will be gone.

I agree. I called out a friend for advocating that he get raped in prison. Rape is rape it doesn't matter what the victim did, no one deserves to be raped.

It would be perhaps fitting that Dennis Hastert spends the rest of his days isolated from any other human beings, with his meals and needs attended to by robots. He has shown why he does not belong in human society.

Thanks for standing against that, Mondo.

We must oppose rape, torture and all other forms of abuse. In opposing someone like Dennis Hastert, we should not become like him.

Talking about prison rape as some form of rough justice is not acceptable. Also not acceptable is joking about prison rape. How about this, we actually try to prevent rape in prison. Rape is rape.

This ish pisses me off. And please let me vent here in a safe place (as opposed to FB and other areas)


Martin O'Malley never got an ounce of fucking oxygen because of Sanders -- it sure as hell wasn't because of the Jim Webb swell or Lincoln Chaffee.

There is one reason why O'MAlley was left in the dark with his campaign, he entered AFTER Sanders.

O'MAlley never had a chance and it sure as hell wasn't because of Clinton.

Sanders has done damn well in the primaries and I congratulate him for that, but for Jane sanders to say this crap?

Bugger off.

Rant over.
