"Today" has some little twerp Republican on saying he will be

[WI_DEM]

president in 2032 "on the Republican ticket" and he is talking up Bush's SS plan. He beat Dean and Sharpton in trivia contests. He is 9 years old. I suppose a bunch of old ladies are going "how cute." YUCK>

1. Winning trivia contests has nothing to do with being President

Republicans should know that because they voted for Bush. Republicans don't care about the value of education or a person with a wealth of knowldege all that they care about is that they talk about the same topics they've been talking about for the last 40 years. Most all topics contrary to our Constitution but of course they don't care about trivia or trivial things.

2. Somebody needs to tell him that if the Republicans

keep following their current playbook, there may not be a planet left in 2032.

3. I'm pleased that no citizen over the age of 10

is gullible enough, anymore, to shill for the BA.

That boy needs some history and math book-learnin', stat!

4. May be the product of home schooling

7. My thoughts exactly.

5. aww, how cute.

I can't wait to not vote for him.

[No Exit]

6. "Pretty Baby"--Republicans will prostitute their children for SS theft

With his new mentor, Jeff-Jim Gannon-Guckert, I'm sure the little streetwalker will have a brilliant career.

8. Jon Stewart mentioned this kid, who is getting his 15 minutes of

fame, last night. Think the brat is named McCullen or something.

10. I like Jon's nickname for him

"All-around Little Turd"

LOL! :D

9. The US version of...

William Hague?

A greasy 14 year old boy who gave a speech at a Conservative Party Conference here in the UK some years ago. He eventually became an MP for the Tory party rising up to become leader.

Unfortunately (or should that be fortunately), for a lot of people he never shook off the image of a greasy teenager.



He didn't win any elections and was eventually replaced as the Tory party's leader. No one really cares what he's doing now.

12. Dude looks like Meat Loaf.

11. Yep, pushing forward the 9-year-olds

What are you going to do, smack down the little pischer? Of course not -- you look like a big bully.

But this is what the Republicans think of public discourse. On an issue of vital importance to millions all over the country, they send out a 9-year-old spokesman. They have no respect for the country or its people, and prefer to reduce things to a cute joke. It's probably not quite so endearing or so funny if your life hangs in the balance of the debate, but isn't the little 9-year-old something? He beat Dean and Sharpton in trivia contests! Tee hee.

On the other hand, if the Republicans are going to send a boy out to do a man's job, it's time for someone to layeth the smacketh down. Since Hunter S. Thompson isn't around anymore . . . {Rolls up sleeves}
