Poll question: What is the next possible GOP 2012 candidate scandal?
Mark Sanford was seen as a viable candidate for 2012. Southern Governor. Rising star with in the Republican Party.

That was until his affair leaked, and he left the country unexpectedly. Don't cry for me, Argentina.

Now it is being leaked that possibly Todd and Sarah Palin are about to divorce because of affairs--on both sides. She loses in November, resigns as Governor because she was tired of the media "picking" on her, and now she is getting divorced because her and Todd (moral conservatives, right?) had affairs on each other. Poor Palin kids.

So my question is: What scandal involving a possible 2012 candidate is next?

This stuff keeps getting better and better.

Maybe we can pick out all the "viable" candidates via scandal by 2012!

So take your pick. Who is next? What scandal is next?

1. Other:
dinosaur bones will be found on Mars, the devil will be blamed for telling earthbound cavemen to toss them up there. mars will then be found out to not actually be a planet... it will get ugly and any potential passenger trips to Mars will be forbidden by the vatican.

References to mars will be stricken from astronomy books and no candy machines on church property will have mars bars in them. This isn't really a scandal but it is just about as possible as some of the crap we have seen coming down the pipe in recent years. Mars the angry red planet... not just for breakfast anymore.

8. Some churches banned Mars bars years ago
Right about the time that devil worshippin' Mick Jagger allegedly used one in a sexual way with Marianne Faithful (whose very name is blasphemous, of course!!11!!11!)

the list for potential 2012 candidates. He apparently still thinks he is, too. ROFLMAO.

6. Classic. Is Tom Tancredo a viable candidate? He might be soon....
...if all the "viable" GOP candidates keep getting nailed with scandals.

7. WTF?? Gay sex isn't wrong, so why is it the crux of this joke of a poll?
It's really sickening. We're better than this.

9. I'm gay, I didn't say gay sex was wrong. It's an ironic option...
Edited on Sat Aug-01-09 03:21 PM by PresidentObama
...since they're the ones pretending being gay and gay sex is wrong.

It's always the anti-gay Senator who is toe tapping in the airport bathroom for gay sex.

10. Is anyone else tired of seeing gay sex as the cornerstone of rethug bashing?
It only creates animosity towards us and discredits our movement.

That's all.

11. This thread wasn't meant as serious as you're taking it.
I think it's interesting how hypocritical Republicans are about homosexuality.

As a homosexual myself, I see nothing wrong with my post. It was mostly meant for a good laugh.

I am not implying or saying homosexual sex is bad. Because, well, that's the only sex I know. I'm proud of my sexuality. I meant it in the context that it's always the "moral conservatives" who end up doing something they think is "immoral"

12. I'm aware that you're not saying that it is bad... but I'm still not happy with anyone...
Falsely outing politicians regardless of who they are or what they stand for. I'm aware you weren't serious. But that isn't my point. It's that mentality that gives them legitimate weapons against us. In jest or in truth it isn't right to call people gay, whether they are or aren't. It fans the flames of their dislike of us. That's all.
