This is how foothead get's out of family events
A lot of Republicans seem to be voting based on who they'd like to have a beer with instead of who they think will do the best job as president (example: Rick Perry).
CUCCINELLI: You said if elected you would issue an executive order to block the implementation of the federal health care law. What is your authority to unilaterally invalidate a law passed by Congress and signed by the president?
PERRY: Well, obviously an executive order. [...]
CUCCINELLI: As a president, it sounds like you're ready to simply use an executive order to void this law or large parts of it that you don't agree with.
PERRY: Absolutely. And I think…
CUCCINELLI: What is your authority for that?
PERRY: The executive order obviously gives you that authority, but also as I said earlier, having men and women in those agencies that are going to share your philosophy…
CUCINELLI: You are taking the position that you can stop the implementation of a law passed by Congress, signed by the president, with an executive order?
PERRY: I am saying we can stop parts of it. The other parts of it, obviously would have to be done from the rules standpoint…
Did a candidate really just voice his plans to attempt to break federal law, and remove a law passed by the voices (yea right) of the American people because he doesn't agree with it? What the truck is going on with our government??
That was probably one of the most irrational things I've ever heard. What the hell does the DADT repeal have to do with schools banning observation of religious holidays (which is illegal, and not widely practiced, I may add)?

Wow, I don't even know what to say to that ad. I like how the majority of the republican party (at least their representatives anyway) have taken on a "Gay's are subhuman" attitude though. Look, I'm Christian, sure. I don't believe in homosexuality, but I understand that your life choices, are not mine to make or judge. Regardless of the way a person lives their life doesn't make them any worse of a person than me. These "wolves in sheep's clothing" have taken the Christian faith and turned it into a "My way or the highway" type of thing instead of the actual values it's supposed to stand for. When asked about my faith, I usually just tell people that I'm agnostic because I would really rather not be associated with how "Christians" are representing themselves and their faith, it's absolutely disgusting. Beliefs are personal and should stay that way. Unfortunately, the blind masses are voting based on who they think God likes more.
