17. "President" Brownback?
:rofl:

That will be when we know that they're toast . . . and he'll be on the outside of the White House, looking in on 11/5/2008 . . .

2. I can't wait to see what a candidate like Gore
Edwards, or Kucinich could do to Brownback in anything resembling a debate.

He isn't intelligent or charismatic, even by Kansas's standards.

5. McCain is VERY conservative.
Don't let the "moderate" routine fool you. He's just as corrupt; he simply hides it better.

McCain, perceived as moderate, would win against almost anyone the Democrats put up in 2008. That's how Bush did it, remember? He played himself up as a centrist, and look where that got us.

Brownback is openly insane. McCain can hide it, and that's to me much scarier.

8. McCain is more independent
Than Brownback. Brownback will do whatever Robertson and Dobson tell him to do. As for 2008 hell yeah I'd prefer Brownback over McCain why? Because Brownback won't win. He's way too conservative for the moderates in this country and doesn't have the charisma to hide it.

9. Precisely.
McCain is shrewd. He knows how to function on his own without handlers, but it doesn't chnge the fact that he is extremely conservative.

Brownback is nuts. He's obviously nuts, and can't hide it. This is a man who's so nuts, he can only drudge up 49% approval in KANSAS.

12. Sam wins here because
he is one of the "farmers", at least they think he is. When he is here he is pictured out on his family farm in blue jeans with his arm around a cow and a stalk of wheat held in his mouth. Then he has the contrast of a family man here in town, children running gleefully to a fake school bus. Really one of the people, a part of each of us. :eyes: His background in agriculture pretty much assures him a spot. He is most certainly not any of those things but he is good at campaigning to this population who are so proud to have "one of them" in the Senate. I can't imagine he has enough charisma to make any headway in the larger population of the country, at least I certainly hope not.

13. His arm around a cow?... Hmmmm
Guess that mean Brownshirt ... oops, I mean "Brownback" ... has a lock on the bestiality vote. And all this time I figured that group would vote for Santorum with his comments about "man-on-dog" sex.

14. Someone mentioned him for POTUS on a Sunday Show
last Sunday. If you think about it, it makes alot of sense for fundies. Who else have they got? Maybe George Allen. Frist might be down the tubes and so is Delay. Santorum will likely suffer a humiliating loss in 2006. Sam might be the most realistic fundie candidate left. That said, it would take a very weak democratic candidate and a massive smear job and some Diebold thrown in to get his wacky ass elected.
