Important Stuff -- Or Not: Candidate Selector

Candidate Selector

Don't have the slightest idea who the next presidential candidates should be? Try this candidate selector. I tried it and Duncan Hunter topped the list at 100%. Newt came in second place. I guess I'll have to study up on Hunter. Question 10 looked biased to me. A candidate can support lower taxes without ignoring the deficit. Bush's tax cuts have cut the deficit in half in about half the time it was projected to take.

Hunter is a congressman from San Diego County since 1980 and was an Airborne Ranger LT in Viet Nam. The only blemish on his record that I know of is that he, like Edwards, is a trial lawyer by trade.

But, like Edwards, he is relatively young, and good looking ,which are important assets that the sheeples like.

Mark said...: I did it and came up with Hunter as well. I never even heard of him before but I looked up his website and what I read clearly impressed me. Time to start a "Draft Hunter" drive.; 5:24 PM

tugboatcapn said...: I got George Allen with 100%, and hunter second with 95%.

I'm with D.Dad, however.

Some of those questions were so ridiculously worded that there was no right answer.

The whole thing was listing drastically to the port side.

On my list the bottom two were Al Gore and John Francois Kerry.; 6:45 PM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
