I can’t tell you how excited I am at the news that good ol’ SpongeBob is throwing his and Callista’s Squarepants into the ring for the Stupid Party’s 2012 designated-loser/presidential-candidate sweepstakes, thus joining an already crowded field of unelectables, has-beens, never-wases, never-will-be’s, who’s-he mystery men, libertarians, radical libertarians, pizza guys, former governors of Minnesota, and just plain nut jobs. Way to go, GOP! No wonder we call you the Stupid Party. You’ve earned it.
Not that Mr. Newt isn’t brilliant. He could probably whip us all on Jeopardy, especially if they asked real questions about history and stuff, instead of about Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. But he was born in 1943, which makes him six years older than my dad, the sainted “Che” Kahane, and there’s no way I’m voting for my old man for president. I mean, here you have His Serene Majesty the Emperor Barack Hussein Obama II, Lord of the Flies, Keeper of the Hoops, Master of the Greens, Bringer of Kinetic Military Action, Vacationer-in-Chief, Slayer of Osama, and Protector of the Holy Cities of Honolulu and Chicago, who — despite his impressive array of titles — is probably the most beatable incumbent since George H. W. Bush, and you won’t even try to beat him? Good Gaia, people, where’s the politically correct fighting spirit that negotiated a peace-process settlement with the West?

unfortunately over the past few years the National Review has embraced more of the RINO than of the Conservative....and Bill Buckley is rolling over in his grave.
It’s time for Sarah.
After reading the entire article, this guy has no one in mind. His only value is dissing any and all. About as worthless a column as I’ve seen lately.
John McCain is anti American.
Who should he have in mind?
I am sad about a “David Kahane” column going right over everyone’s head (see comments at NRO), and the fact that he is exactly right.
Maybe we have reached the point where there is no one left in politics that is sane, articulate, energizing, unencumbered by baggage ... and willing to run.
A Christie/Allen West ticket would be amazing.
Watch this: Chris Christie: Sellout
As someone from DE who took it up the butt for a generation from Mike Castle, This is completely unforgivable.
That's not for me to say. My point is he offers no suggestions nor recommendations. It's a totally negative article with no positive suggestions.
To me it pretty much summarizes the GOP field. Maybe it’s a call to the GOP to start finding candidates that don’t suck.
Free Republic Runs ONLY On Your Donations.
Make Yours NOW and End the FReepathon!
The implication then is, they all suck, with no distinction between candidates. Sorry, but I don’t buy that. There are a few who are heads above the others, although I don’t agree with all that any given individual may say.
The piece is a downer with no redeeming recommendations.
Oh goodie - we’re gonna let the left choose our candidate - again.
BTW, Obama can be beaten by a used popsicle stick. Oh, and my money is on the pizza guy.
Don’t get me wrong — just like some of you, I’m jazzed about Mitch. Who wouldn’t be? Colorless, diffident, weird, a homunculus with hair that former frontrunner Donald Trump probably secretly envies since there’s so little of it, Daniels is the perfect puss of the Republican party in this year of our Common Era, 2011. Let’s celebrate his diverse qualifications:
● He’s from Indiana, a state with as politically incorrect a name as can be imagined. I mean, why don’t they just call it Redskinland and be done with it? Indiana is like Delaware writ a tiny bit larger, one of those states you couldn’t pick out of a police lineup if it mugged you and got arrested at the scene by Ohio and Illinois. Half of it’s a suburb of Obama, Tony Rezko, and Bill Ayers’s neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, for crying out loud. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
● He’s basically an accountant. Nothing gets the political juices flowing and the passions boiling like a green-eyeshade guy solemnly warning the nation that a big hangover’s coming while the band’s still playing, the girls are dancing in their skivvies on the bar, and nobody’s called the cops yet. Sure, the teabaggers are all het up about the deficit and whatnot, but the rest of us love our entitlements and won’t hear a word against them. When one in seven of our fellow citizens is on food stamps, and half the population contributes a grand total of whiz-all in federal income taxes, we don’t call that a bug, we call it a feature! Free stuff for everybody, now and forever — that’s our winning campaign slogan, and if you don’t like it, try to come up with a better one.
● He’s . . . zzzzzzzzz. What? Sorry, fell asleep there for a sec. Fine now.
Except for that first, short, sentence, it doesn't appear much of a proposal to me...
That being said, Cain is one of the few I'm looking at. He, and Ryan right now.

And, I’m supposed to know this? How? Sure, it’s funny in parts, but that doesn’t make it satire. Kindly explain how I’m to understand this?
