If Bachmann can become a serious contender for the presidency, any half-way literate simpleton can.

[Cal33]

Right-wingers cheapen and turn into sleaze whatever they touch.

1. Cal has said it all...One needs two things:

A. Money
B. Support and coverage the the Main Stream Media..(controlled by money and corporate interests)

then. you are a candidate..

Oh, by the way..a number of Half Wit Simpletons have indeed become candidates...

[Cal33]

7. Thanks, Stuart. And the corporatists have both. They make their money

by stealing from, robbing and screwing the rest of America. And things are worsening.
Around 1970, the upper 1% owned some 12% of the nation's wealth. This has tripled
by 2010. The upper 1% now owns 35% of the nation's wealth.

The next 19% owns 50% of the nations wealth.

Combined together, the upper 20% owns 85% of the nation's wealth.

And the lower 80% of Americans owns only 15% of the nation's wealth!

Right-wingers also own 90% of the MSM. They have been able to brain-wash half of
our people into believing whatever they say.

That's how they are able to rob amd screw the American people more and more.
Their goal is to become our masters some day, and make us into their servants,
if not slaves.

The way I see it, that day is coming closer and closer. And half of us won't
even know it until after it has happened. Of course, by then it's too late
to redress the situation peacefully.

The corporatists won't change. These sickos can't help but continue
in their greedy, fraudulent and corrupt ways. I see probable strife and
violence in our future -- including civil war and WW3.

3. Bush the Lesser has already proved your statement. n/t

[pipi_k]

5. Twice. Which is scary. n/t

19. The founders of Neoconservatism, among them the late Irving Kristol,

have openly encouraged their leadership to lie to the masses, if it is beneficial
for them to do so. This is what makes pathological liars find Neoconservatism
so attractive. They congregate there because that's where they've finally found
their home.

4. Please do not underestimate the power of just three ideas..:.

A. Many people are not literate on politics and government
B. Many people do not have the time to become literate on politics and government
C. Many people are stupid.

[spanone]

6. D. many people want god to run the country through his 'blessed ones'

[Cal33]

8. These are the religious fanatics. The Muslims have theirs, and we have ours. And

the one is as immovable as the other. And the corporatists, of course,
are gladly there to profit from the use of both of them to suit the
corporatists' own purposes.

[gatorboy]

As the former president has proven.

9. Being a fucking millionaire helps too. And having the right rich friends.

[bemildred]

10. It seems to be pretty much a requirement these days, with a few exceptions.

Candidates don't run their own shows anymore anyway, they all have handlers are pretty much moved around like cardboard cutouts.

[Cal33]

11. Yes, corporations have already pretty much taken over America,

as well as many other countries in the world. I wonder when
and where the final putsch will come. I'm guessing that we
(the USA) will be the first. Possibly international corporations
think that if the largest goes down first, the rest will follow
more easily.

If the world gets taken over, it's only the beginning of our trouble.
Remember, corporate greed is endless? They'll be squabbling among
one another, each one wanting to "have it all!"

These are psychopaths. The main problem with our world right now is
that too many of them are in positions of power. Hence all this
endless struggle for more money and power is going on.

All we can do right now is to try to vote them out of power. At least,
it's something!

21. republicans are the enemies of all Americans in this quest.

The members of the republican cult are doing everything they possibly can to bring about the disaster you describe. This is a battle of republicans vs. Americans. Me, I'm with the Americans.

[Cal33]

23. The Neocons joined the Republicans some 40 years ago. They worked their

way up in the party, usurped the power of the leaders and finally
succeeded in throwing the old Repulican leaders out. The Neocons
were smart enough to keep the Republican name, so as to keep on
getting the votes of the old-timer Repubs., most of whom don't even
know that their party no longer exists. They still think they're
"voting Republican."

Today, the right-wingers are made up of Neocons, Libertarians, Tea
Partyers, uninformed old-timer Republicans...and several other groups
... all under the domination of the Corporations.

Someone expressed the opinion: "Today it's no longer blue vs. red,
left vs. right. Today it's Corporations vs. you and me." It's
pretty accurate, too.

12. If Bachman is the GOP choice she will be nothing more than their sacrifice - Like W.

someone willing to be the scapegoat.

[Cal33]

14. She probably wouldn't even be aware that she was their sacrifice.

[yella_dawg]

13. Proof that....

Proof that after Bush, any direction is up.

[Cal33]

17. She may be the ultimate exception. She could do just as badly

or perhaps go even lower than Bush. And, looking at the Neocon
and Tea Party leadership of today, I'm not surprised.

[jtown1123]

15. She is a non entity. It will be Romney.

[Cal33]

16. She is a non-entity all right, and yes, probably it will be Romney.

[jberryhill]

18. No. He/She has to be over 35, a natural born citizen, and 14 years a resident

Not just ANY halfwit simpleton can qualify.

[mwb970]

20. She definitely gives the impression of being a mouthpiece.

Everything she says seems to bolster the corporate fascist agenda that the Tea Party has unwittingly (and witlessly) embraced. So yes, you're right, pretty much anyone (though preferably a marginally attractive woman) who can parrot Fox "News" and Hannity's latest gas escape can run for president on the republican ticket and be taken seriously.

Clearly, the republican party has been transformed into a religious cult, complete with dogma, rituals, and deities - the works. And we know how successful religious cults have been at running governments in the past. Don't we?
