And you're just too modest - I would think your rep goes well beyond the conservatives here. Hoenstly, you have to start giving yourself more credit!

And any time a liberal/Democrat, obviously an Obama acolyte, dkeeps on referring to a vibrant, living and obviously very threatening American lady as te long dead French heroine, something is very seriously wrong with their mental capabilities.

Taliking about grasping at straws!

I can just see you in front of the keyboard, foaming at the mouth, about to have a conniption, not being able to think of any issues to comment on, just thinking 'how can I insult this so and so who dares to disagree with me?'. it is quite an amusing mental picture.

According to the latest opinion poll, only 26 % of Americans (the far right Republican base) thinks she is qualified to be the president. Most of the US population does not think she is qualified to be the president. She has huge negatives among women. Even a majority of Republicans think that she is not qualified to be the president.

If Joan of Arc is the best Republicans can come up with, I feel sorry for them. But I do agree with you on one thing, I do hope Joan of Arc wins the Republican nomination.

Quite so, countryboy. That is why I said, acolytes like you will have to spread the Good News about the coming of the Saint, of the Messiah (Joan of Arc). People like you will have to be another Paul, another Luke etc. and spread the word among the nonbelievers. Because currently most of US population are very much nonbelievers, 71% of them think that Joan of Arc is not qualified to be the president (and she has lost ground since the election).

But he may decide for Internal Medicine.

And, you'd be able to sell the naturopathic medicines that you prescribe.

Sounds like a good plan.

And people will settle the issue? How? What can people do? I assume you mean that next time they will vote Republican. They very well may, but what happens when Republicans also cannot get anything accomplished (as happened during Bush years)? People will vote the Democrats back in, Republicans will block everything they want to do and the whole madness will continue.


The system is broken.
