You'll know we've passed the point of no return when you hear an ad like "John Jackson doesn't eat the bodies of his slain enemies. John Jackson: too liberal for America."

Welp, we've officially crossed over into nightmarish insanity. Elves are republican.

Rick Perry will one-up this ad by accusing Romney of speaking English. >_<
No, see, he understands that English is the One True Language. He'll accuse him of speaking British.
No, Perry speaks Texan. If you wanted to be gracious, you could say he speaks Amurrican. But yes, you're right...the charge would be of speaking not just British but Great British.

I think the campaign ads and debates would depress me a hell of a lot less if I just dubbed over everything in Simlish before I watched it.

If you do that, let me know. I'd like to see that. Just don't forget to add the speech bubbles with random images.

Yes, nothing fills me with more pride as an American than our insistence that ignorance is a political virtue.

So according to Gingrich, Spanish is the language of the ghetto, English is the language of prosperity, and I guess French is the language of sissy liberals. Is Paul the only candidate that's run comments on Huntsman's Mandarin speaking? I like to see if Newt has aired a comment on that, if only to complete the set.

In AP Government class today, the teacher mentioned something to the effect of support for gay rights. This same teacher refuses to tell us his political affiliation. I nonchalantly said, "Well, I guess he's not a Republican." I had forgotten that I live in Texas. The crazy conservative girl that sits two seats over attacked me, saying that she was a Republican and supported gay rights. I asked her what Republican candidate she supported.

She said Perry. I showed her Perry's infamous campaign video. She didn't talk afterwards.

Good job, Perry. You alienated one of your party's members.

In retrospect, Perry hurt his own campaign far more than anyone else could even dream of.

"You shouldn't vote for people who speak French."

Please, someone, steal the keys and blow up Washington. Now.

He also was never President.  Nobody ever remembers this.

He's what a lot of people envision as the Avatar of America, more or less.  Inventive, stylish, a polymath who was rich but wasn't above manual labor, etc.

Yeah but a lot of the founding fathers who were president did speak french.  And for John Adams and John Quincy Adams it was a downright necessity given their diplomatic postings in France and Russia.

Didn't France help you guys in the fight for independance? Wouldn't that make speaking French MORE American then speaking just English?
