Got say people are slacking on making sure they use his full name. Raphael Edward Cruz being born and raised in a socialist utopia is rather funny.

Anyway Ben says something stupid every time he opens his mouth.

Well, Sarah Palin used to go to Canada for her medical treatment, so he has company.

Investors Business Daily thinks it's "rampant". They must be right because they were the guys during the ACA debate that thought Stephen Hawking was... American.

I know, right? America has such a long history of electing women presidents simply because they're women. It's sickening.

The conservative leadership is well aware that making voter registration more difficult helps Republicans.

The fact that they could turn this desire for reduced turnout into a racist dog whistle makes it that much more compelling.

IBD's editorial section is completely off the rails. It makes the Wall Street Journal look leftist in comparison.

Well we did have the longest running elected right-wing government in the modern history of the world until a couple of weeks ago.

I was listening to the radio and they had someone on who works in the oil industry and he said basically what has been happening the past week is this:

"Hello boss (in Texas), thought you'd better know there's been a change of government up here."

"Where?"

"Alberta."

"Oh. Republicans or Democrats?"

"This is Canada, there are no Republicans or Democrats. The NDP beat the PCs."

"The who beat the what now?"

"The PCs are right-wing conservatives, they've been in power for 44 years. They were beat by the NDP who are left-wing."

"You mean they're like the Democrats????"

"No, they're to the left of the Democrats."

"They're WHAT???? "

Lindsey Graham

Lindsey Graham says he is running for White House - BBC News

At a certain point it might be easier to just list who ISN'T a candidate.

Interested to see if John Bolton throws his hat into the ring, he makes Lindsey Graham look like a pacifist in comparison.

(At some point we're going to need a bigger ring for all of these hats).

He has the most interesting southern accent outside of a 40s Hollywood movie.

So he's competing with Huckabee for the mantle of being 'the most Southern candidate'?

If we're fortunate it might devolve into a bit of a 'Southerner-off', a bit like in Zoolander when David Bowie adjudicates, but with more artillery and biscuits.
