Lounge of Tomorrow - The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I heard yesterday that the Republican candidate who has received the most donations from military personnel is ... Ron Paul. I found that interesting.

I saw that too. Very interesting and I admit I am surprised.

Just saw that Stephen Colbert is higher in the polls than either Richardson or Biden. :)

Which shows one of two things, possibly both:

1. Just how meaningless early polling numbers are (that people feel free to just toss around their "vote" on whim).

2. Just how retarded the average person is.

3. Contrary to most reporting, the average person does have a sense of humor.

The joke won't last long. Election laws prevent having Doritos as a sponsor of your campaign and using your national television show to promote your campaign. So unless comedy central is planning to give all the candidates their own show........

That would be covered by #1.

This pretty much says it all.

Yes, but Huckabee thinks that most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were ministers. If you know so little about it, you should just shut up about it.

Not that it is the worst gaffe ever (not even close) but I don't see how anybody with even a basic knowledge of the Founding Fathers would think that.

To be honest I am really confused as to the background of the Founding Fathers because I've heard and seen so much conflicting information. I don't blame Mike for getting it wrong I think I'd get it wrong myself. Mike's not the only one to make that gaffe. Maybe that was taught to him in seminary. I was taught in college that all the Founding Fathers were atheists.
