Candy for the GOP.
Yeah.You suck, Republican Party. This is amusing as hell for me, though.
So they’ve lost Bob Barr to a Libertarian bid. *hrmph* *snorkle* *chuff* Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, it’s just so fucking funny! My favorite part of the article, though, is this bit:
Christopher Barron, a Republican political consultant, thinks it is equally plausible that Barr could hurt Obama.
“I think Bob Barr’s candidacy could impact the race — but I don’t know
at this point which candidate he is likely to help or hurt,” he said.
“If Barr’s candidacy is fueled by the same people who supported Ron
Paul — college students, antiwar advocates and hard-core libertarians
— then I think it is unlikely to hurt Sen. McCain in any significant
way because these are not the type of voters McCain is reaching out to.
I could actually envision a scenario under which Barr’s candidacy
actually helps McCain by siphoning off some of the enthusiasm among
college voters and antiwar advocates for Obama.“
Yeah? Well, I can envision a scenario where I end world hunger, teach tyrannosaurs to fly F-14’s, have zombieJoe Louis deliver a daily cock-punchin’ to Osama bin Laden, win the lottery, buy Halliburton, and ride a saddled and wheezing Dick Cheney in to work every day. Just ’cause I can envision it, though, don’t mean it’s gonna happen. I’d say both of the previous scenarios have very low orders of probability. God damn, I need to get a job as a political consultant. “Here, I’m gonna say some completely implausible shit that a four-year-old wouldn’t believe. Now where’s my check?”
Nice work, if you can get it.
