Guard Dog Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 After some thought the Guard Dog endorsement for President of the United States in 2016 goes to drum roll please.... MARCO RUBIO. Yes after a long and exhaustive vetting process I've decided to vote for Marco Rubio. After considering the merits of the other candidates it was an easy choice: Ted Cruz: Talks about how he is the true conservative in the race but sometimes does not seem to understand what that even means. He reminds me a little too much of Martin Sheens character in the movie The Dead Zone. Bernie Sanders: Vote for a septuagenarian socialist who spent his honeymoon in the Soviet Union? I don't think so. Hillary Clinton: Um, no. She is dishonest in the extreme, sour, unlikeable, and I'm reasonably certain she is a flesh eating lizard beast in disguise. Donald Trump: He hasn't said a single intelligible thing beyond generic soundbites. Plus he IS a flesh eating lizard beast. Apparently he thought the disguise was optional. Ben Carson: A genuinely good, thoughtful and intelligent man. I admire him very much and don't think he has any business being in the White House unless he is on the tour. He's in way over his head. John Kasich: Who is he again? Rand Paul: Ah what might have been. So I'm left with Marco Rubio whose biggest attributes are he's not Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. But in a year of lowered expectations it turns out that is enough. So next week I'm voting for Marco and if he gets nominated he's got my vote in November too. I'd mention the great privilege it is to be able to cast a vote to choose our political leaders but when you can't gin up much enthusiasm and find yourself going through the motions the privilege sort of feels hollow.

Rubio? Besides Hillary I think he's the absolute worst. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

Guard Dog Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 If Trump gets nominated I'll probably go that way. I can't bring myself to cast a vote for him.

Agiel Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 For all you old school Adam Reed fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq7Vm4wM2p4 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barothmuk Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) But now we live in an age of "Bernie Bros," where Democrats debate the merits of their respective candidates with image macros like this: Because a woman pandering to voters deserves to be mocked, while a man who spends his entire career fighting immigration and then starts canvassing for Hispanic votes as soon as he runs for President is the epitome of consistency. What are you confused about? From what I understand the meme has nothing to do with mocking Clinton for her "pandering", rather it portrays her as uncool because she's establishment and Sanders as hip because he's "anti-establishment". Unless he's saying Clinton shouldn't be mocked period which is even more ridiculous. Also to say Sanders has spent "his entire career fighting immigration" and is now trying to pander to Hispanic voters is a bizarre claim especially when the evidence they provide is a story where Sanders opposed an immigration policy that would have had immigrant workers in conditions comparable to slavery.

Chilloutman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) who is this guy? :/ Edited February 24, 2016 by Chilloutman I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is?

Keyrock Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I was a moderate Democrat when younger and I know I've been slowly sliding more toward Republican as I've gotten older but I still thought of myself as slightly Democrat overall. I guess I'm just a flat out Republican now. Who knew? Jeb's out, so I guess Marco Rubio is my remaining closest match.

aluminiumtrioxid Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Sanders 92%, Stein 89%, Clinton 87%, Bloomberg (who the hell is this guy?) 68%, Johnson 63%. I have no idea how to save the results as an image. Apparently I'm strongly left-leaning but pretty much exactly middle of the road on the authoritarian-libertarian scale. Turns out my reputation as an oppressively authoritarian nazi SJW is somewhat undeserved, who'da thought.

Drowsy Emperor Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Goddamn it. Basically anyone from Europe is likely to get Sanders on the top since he's the sole candidate that resembles European politics. That said: Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. I just have to see that whale in the White House. It will be even more glorious than Bush И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.

ShadySands Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Bloomberg is the former mayor of New York City who is richer than Trump and hates sugary drinks. I have no idea what his actual stances are on the issues but that's mostly because he hasn't actually declared that he will run so I haven't looked into it Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
