I hereby declare my candidacy for President.

lol, never would have expected that.

As long as the Right keeps voting for the likes of Pingvin, an inactive neo-Nazi who beats women, then we won't go very far.

Well I am not familiar with half of those critiques, but I figured at the time that seconding a write-in would best advance a competative election and he was the one that appeared to be running such a campaign (as it turned out it was done independently of him, apparently). I was concerned about the activity issue to be sure, but I didn't think you would actually come up short against him in the voting once it was all counted like that.

Though I would say that I think the attitude you express is part of the problem. A good number of conservatives are "untouchable" and my theory is that a great number of people are quite unsure as to who is so and who is not. Therefore a great many potential swing voters are thus locked in place even for far more centrist candidates. Whatever reputation Pingvin has attained in other boards for extremism and on this board for activity aside, I am sure this is a problem that most Conservatives are saddled, and I wouldn't be surprised if for some just being right of center was just as outrageous or otherwise (Antonio seems to think so for example) but that is besides the point. I have seen this process in operation in many elections and heard of many fairly reasonable candidates getting rejected either for this or the more general party loyalty and the risks associated with breaking ranks.

Bright!

Taylor, and only because of this speech.  However, I still think his "I voted for McCain" spiel was incredibly desperate and pathetic.

'Good man.

Thats one of my all-time favorite floor speeches.

... and now Mechaman.

This guy is interesting.

Not as interesting as the Hitler Youth guy was.   

Also, you do understand that "reformer" means something totally different among the College of Cardinals than it means at the US Election Atlas Forum, right? 

Not quite sure what you are getting at here buddy.

Large part of my family is Catholic and I worked at a Jesuit school, so I know my way around the various factions in the Church - especially the reformist ones (which are of course dominant in Denmark).
 
The Atlas forum and its terminology is not a reference point of mine, dunno why you thought that.

Not as interesting as the Hitler Youth guy was.   

Benedikt was a bore in every possible way. A highly intellectual and intelligent bore, but they are the worst kind. Nothing remotely interesting about him.

But seriously, I don't understand your request. Matt and Nix are both the centrist tendancy of their party, so why we would need a third ticket in the center?

Extremist fringe group ticket, maybe?

Yes you're right. Maybe a libertarian ticket? Sjoyce? Could you be interested? After all, you're very good to support right wing and left wing extremists like Rand Paul and Brian Schweitzer! And you're a member of the light party! I've found your candidate DRJ!

Did you just call the Light Party an extremist fringe group?

No! I'm not stupid! I've just found the ideal candidate for a third party: SJOYCE!!! I explain, he's able to both support right wing extremist like Rand Paul and left wing extremist like Brian Schweitzer. And he seems to have a moderate record on the economic issues and he's a member of the light party, a centrist party which hasn't candidates in this election!

Lunch at zoo. Granola bar, 2 Capri sun juice.

Still no fruit and vegetables....

He's a nice guy, seems pretty genuine and generally posts some good stuff (which I couldn't care less about, but that's subjective). But his moderate hero/ZOMGZ MODERATE DEMOCRATS <3!/partisanship sucks /extremism boo shtick is really annoying and grating for me. Also, I hate Paultards as much as he does, but I don't reference them in every other post I make.

Also, thinks way too highly of basically every single politician, but he's not the only one with that condition.

Yes, but AK's been trending dem for a while.

Yes.  2008 AK --> 2012 AK shift shows that is still very much a thing.
