post here when someone decides to run for president in 2016

There's a surprisingly large crowd that believes man walked with the dinosaurs about 6000 years ago, though.

Doubt it's that large

Because if you don't believe basic science like evolution, you're too dumb to run a country.

You don't really think Scott Walker is stupid. He's smart enough to understand that doesn't need to opine on topics that are completely irrelevant to the presidency that will only needlessly piss off one group or another.

It isn't irrelevant.

Everything is relative, I guess. It's about 15% of the population.

If any legit candidate would actually reply to bullshit questions with that, they would win basically everyone's vote.

Leave the democrat's constituency alone

Ben Carson with an early lead in the crazy department:

Have not read the link, but I'd say that based on Kat Kid posting a link about "crazy" Ben Carson, there's a 90% chance whatever he said was either true or misrepresented.

"They [ISIS] got the wrong philosophy, but they're willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness," Carson reportedly said to applause.

"We have to change that," he added.

Ben Carson has proof!

Just found out Ben Carson is black. Didn't realize so many people on this board were deep seated racists.

So... he's in agreement with about 95% of fellow black people that don't appreciate the comparison of the gay marriage movement to the real equal rights movement? Shocking. The whole prison sex thing was a bit weird, though. He's going to declare for president to raise his political profile, but I'd prefer to see him run for the open Senate seat in Maryland - which he could very well win.

Several news sites say that TX. Sen. Cruz is going to announce maybe tomorrow.  This President had no executive experience, no qualification, and no long record of service to scrutinize - just like Cruz.  He is like some ol' bull gorilla that pounds his chest and throws dirt in the air to show off to the other gorrilas.  Can anyone tell me why this person should even be considerd.

[star seed 7]

Wasn't he born in Canada or something?

kick his ass, renocat

[Kat Kid]

Ted Cruz announced he is running for president today.

it's gonna be fun

[Cire]

He's not even American

[wetwillie]

About time we got a mexican as a president

[star seed 7]

just another ivy league east coast elitist

[renocat]

Cruz wants to abolish the IRS!  Hot damn ignorant idea from a good patriot American.  Let's abolish the federal government too,  Tea partiers now are having a big politorgasim.  Reforming the tax code is a great idea, making the IRS more fair and effecient okay, but dang someone has to collect revenue to keep the fed going.  Pretty sound bites from a glib pretty boy gloryhound does not mean good presidential material.  Maybe the good old days of cigar chomping and beer gushling party bosses picking the canidate should be brought back.

[slobber]

I kind of think renocat is a good poster. I am saying this on my own, without waiting for the collective agreement from gE.


Gonna win 'em all!

A flat 10% tax on everybody would be glorious.

You can collect taxes a lot more efficiently without income tax or the IRS...

But this sort of talk demonstrates why Cruz is not a good candidate. It whips up the base, and he's right that we should ultimately be moving towards a dramatically simplified tax code and a resulting smaller, more efficient tax collection agency, but simply saying "we need to abolish the IRS" without a more nuanced explanation sounds extreme and will not appeal to the broader electorate.

He's not right that we should ultimately be moving towards a dramatically simplified tax code and a resulting smaller, more efficient tax collection agency, because that's not what he said. He wants to abolish the IRS instead.
