U.S. Presidential race - Republican Discussion

[Catta]

Maybe Houston customs are just nicer? I've also come in via Dulles before, and Miami. Never had an issue.

According to some random study i googled
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Intl Airport
Is the best Airport in the US. Its number 24 globally.
My airport is number 14.

I'm just going to compare:

Thailand -- Customs agent was annoyed that I wanted my passport stamped.

France -- Customs agent was annoyed that I even stopped to show him my passport.

Switzerland -- Customs agent flat out said he didn't care, I don't have brown skin.

US -- Customs agent detains and strip searches me because he didn't like my t-shirt.

Yup.

Damn lazy swiss brings the rest of us in danger...

Pro-tip: Don't wear a t-shirt that says 'Jihad' with a scimitar on it, next time.

Next you're going to tell me that my "Death to infidels" shirt isn't the best airport attire.

Heh. It was a red T from the protests in Geneva in 2003 when the G8 was in Evian, France. It had nothing to do with religion.

unless he has the beard thing going

[Catta]

unless he has the beard thing going

Well he is of Scandinavian descent - he could be looking like Breivik for all we know!

[belfpala]

I can't grow a beard. Damn you, Northern European genes.

Edit: Well, I kind of can. But it's just sideburns, a creepy chin and neck beard and a rapist mustache...

[Wells]

If he has a neckbeard I don't care what the TSA is doing to him.

Hey - thats not our fault...

Also my neckbeard grows faster than the rest
I have yet to see myself grow a beard because every time i get it somewhat grown my dad makes me shave it because he "cant have me running around looking like a homeless person while working for him"

I don't see Mitt's religion as being a big deal. I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up more since it is a pretty crazy religion. All religion takes a leap of faith, but some leaps are off the top of a house and some are from the grand canyon. Mormonism is from the top of freaking Everest if you can close your eyes and honestly be okay with one guy reading your religious text off gold tablets only he ever saw. But hey as long as it doesn't influence his decisions anymore than the GOP already bases their entire plan on the Bible, who cares. That reminds me, Ryan essentially said in the debate he has no issue forcing his religious beliefs on others through abortion regulation.



Mormonism used to be racist but now has plenty of black members. I'm not going to fault the guy for the decisions of his religion decades ago. I'd rather fault the guy for constantly changing positions, his absolute blatant refusal to give a single example of a deduction or loophole being closed to somehow balance out his 20% tax cut, his support for abortion legislation, etc. You know, decisions that matter right now, not ones from the 70s.

I hate Mitt Romney he is a bastard in my opinion. But sir you know absolutely nothing about the Mormon religion.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm agnostic...

But why should I care about anyone's religion, other than what I think they'll do in office? (Hint: Paul Ryan 100% sealed the deal for me not voting for Romney in the last debate).

[Dakia]

(Hint: Paul Ryan 100% sealed the deal for me not voting for Romney in the last debate).

Why? They have stated that they have no intent to change abortion as it currently stands.

This is where somebody says that they can't trust them though.

[Wells]

With this:


Why on earth would you?

And I don't remember Ryan's bit specifically but I do recall him pretty clearly citing religion.

[belfpala]

As recently as August, Paul Ryan has said, "I’ve always adopted the idea, the position, that the method of conception doesn’t change the definition of life." He's as fucking crazy as Akin on that issue.

Mitt? Who knows.

Edit: Yes, an F-bomb. It's like punctuation. Treat it that way, mods.

[Deleted]

I think Ryan is a closet Atheist.

[Wells]

I don't really think so. His wonkish policy guy image is pretty much just conjured up by campaign officials. His actual history is pretty rife with social conservatism.

How is defining life as life crazy? Personally I think that defining a child conceived by some other method than traditional back-seat action as not alive as a pretty fucking crazy position.

yeah, but his ayn randian economic beliefs... maybe he has created some bastard child of the 2 ideologies
