Susana Martinez for President!!! NOW!
mordaedil
Thanks for not saying Denmark.
Hotsteamingdeuce
I like it that you bash everyone equally, and for what it's worth, I totally agree.
jazzhead
The Santorum is still a thing?
TheChickenologist
This is the best political post I've see.

Of course, they don't teach that in American schools for more than a week. You're not alone.
Dawzaster
So what you are saying is that Cruz is the only one that makes sense?
sushifire
These seem pretty honest...
Hepwolfx
Nahhh, Grece was special because they kept borrowing money, and spending it horribly when they didn't have money. America wouldn't do... Oh.
tisphated
To be fair, the Greek problem was not controlling the currency. If they were able to default, devalue, they could have exported way. Hey ho.
lizlemonworkingonhernightcheese
Honestly we have always borrowed money. Grece just would hire 10 ppl for 1 person job. And retire at 45
chaoslordjiro
...And essentially turned tax dodging into the national pastime, and falsified their finances to get into the EU.
JesseGraef
I heard that in at least one other country the ballots have a none of the above box to check. We need this in America so bad.
ChiefSlappaHo
You could write in anyone you want, or just not vote for anyone and vote on other things on the ballot.
JesseGraef
Yeah but unless you can find someone millions of people like that is throwing away a vote. Voting for all new candidates would be alot 1/2
JesseGraef
To pull off. I think this would help greatly with voter turn out.

Hey, wheres the guy with the boot on his head? Wasnt he a thing?

That guy, yeah

This is what I like. Slinging shit at all of the candidates instead of just republicans for once

I am pro Sanders and I think it was the funniest :). I can't vote in the US though so there's that.

How about we all just write Batman on the ballot?

Nobody look up Santorum on the Urban Dictionary. *twists moustache villainously*
nation543
his motto here also applies to Cruz

I filled my gay roommate in on what Santorum was last year and he said "I know who I'm voting for!"

PHRASING!

Looked up santorum, disappointed by how mild the result was.

If thats all trump was allowed to do as president, id be ok with him winning.

im no fan of Hillary but her age and gender dont make good joke targets. there's plenty there to pick
adamzeebear
Whitewater.
ChefHannibal
her gender is when she tries to make it a reason to vote for her
aerodynamit3
i agree, you're right. i just meant for making a joke its pretty lazy, but you are correct.
ChefHannibal
Ah. Went over my head, i apologize
Abattage
Well it would be much less funny if her being the first woman president wasn't the only part of her campaign we could trust.

Are you completely sure about that? I get a very feminine vibe from ol' Teddy Roosevelt.

Unscrupulous though.

Unscrupulous

Weird they did Santorum but not Rubio.

He doesn't have any major positions?

The other 4 are running for president. Santorum isn't. Rubio is.

True. Santorum was though, these weren't necessarily created today.

My initial response upon seeing the post was a sarcastic, "This won't be biased." I was pleasantly surprised.
FakePlasticTreehugger
I love Bernie, but he'd be better for Canada then the US. Too much conservatism and too many people.
Monochromatism
That, and when the government touches something that was previously private it goes down in flames. Remember healthcare?
NanoSwarmer
That's exactly why we need him.
TheThingNoNotThatOne
He's going to reduce the number of people in America? That's a new promise.
ellert0
If you wanna compare to Europe you have nearly the same land mass, as many states as Europe has countries but not even half the population.
NanoSwarmer
Nah, I meant the fact that america has so much conservitivism and so many people is why we need someone like Bernie to save us.
Momof2needsabreak
Why Rick Santorum? Hes not relevant to this election.
snet328
*erection
Protean2648
Because it's about campaign slogans, not campaign slogans from 2016?

NEITHER AM I! Haha!

And for the record, I really am not. I can't even vote. Heck, I don't even live in the us.
TheWorkerofSecrets
Rick Santorum held something against Trump at some point
dvs2nite
Then I bet Rick knows all about Trumps "hand size".
Serratedblaze
I feel like the message could apply to Rubio as well so I just pretend it is.
TheRottenBanana
Anymore..
Fatherdoodle
He wasn't ever too relevant in the last one, especially not with this one. Did he ever get above 5% this time around?
TheRottenBanana
Thankfully no.
IronicJeremyIrons
Ah yes...Dick Shitfoam
Shkolnikoff
You misspelled erection
munkeeball
He's not relevant to any election.
TheJerkNessMonster
Some would argue that he's not really relevant at all.

Because he's a Rick. Not that Rick, but still.

I looked for this comment to upvote it.
sorosfieldops
But he is so easy to make fun of, just google his name.
Momof2needsabreak
Extremely true, but so is Marco Rubio.
stonedkyuby
I feel it should be known Dan Savage had his that definition of his name made to protest his campaign/ideas.
Tankdoggy
Because Dan Savage is really savage and intelligent, it worked. That and we LGBT folks know how to hurt you without physically hurting you.
stonedkyuby
As a bisexual, I'm personally mot too big on Dan Savage or some of his methods, but I will not deny the effectiveness of his Santorum move
Tankdoggy
Don't have to agree with all of them, only help on the ones you do. He does tailor each to the individual. Been reading Savage Love 1/2
IgoogledCreativeUsernames
What about anal?
Tankdoggy
Sure, am cool with it if you are a guy.

Where's Marco Rubio? He's the only candidate I've never seen made fun of.

I wish people would stop generalizing the "socialism" of Bernie. We're more likely to end up like 1950s America.

Sorta, but honestly it's refreshing to see a political post on the FP that's not sucking his dick.

As a Bernie supporter, say something funnier about Hillary. She's a woman, I get it.
undeadjoker
Benghazi, 9/11, Wall Street,........9/11
UnpopularOpinionPuffinPersonified
They could've removed "woman" and the point is the same. She's unscrupulous who only runs because of career ambitions.
l33t1c4r1u5
If she was a man then saying "unscrupulous white man" wouldn't be fine. It is a descriptor. They could also call Bernie old. It doesn't mttr
baronridiculous
That's just stupid. They're all running, for fuck's sake. They're all ambitious. Why is the only woman being singled out for that?
UnpopularOpinionPuffinPersonified
The others have been in public service for years (Trump being exception but he gets the same complaint). Hillary was said to have developed

Yeah man, one thing at a time.
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
I'm poking fun because his comment is completely irrelevant.
DidNoOneNoticeThis
I wouldn't say it's irrelevant. Bernie = like Greece based on the images, and Trump has been called Hitler. He just supports Bernie. But +1
Chaos2183
Not even hitler could have the power to turn the USA into that, lets me more understanding of our nations checks/balances system plz.
EdwinBeller
Hitler had the "Ermächtigungsgetzt" which enabled him to change law, constitution and disable other people basic rights.Legally he could1/2
EdwinBeller
Have changed anything he wanted, regardless of burden. 2/2
Chaos2183
If trump were even elected, everyone would be down his throat and watching his actions like a hawk. He couldnt do something like so
imooforyou
He's already promised to get rid of libel laws so he can sue and persecute anyone who criticizes him. Kanye would be his VP.
geriatricsanatore
But he can't do that. He can only enforce laws he can't repeal nor can be make new ones. Congress makes, supreme Court verifies if needed.
BoomerTiro
Honestly this makes Ted Cruz look like a FANTASTIC candidate!
adavaas
That slogan is only a negative if you see government agencies as automatically good.
AwesomeName
That slogan is only positive if you believe shutting down a branch of government saves money.
DrunkCommentsMadeMeMakeANewAccount
If you understood government you would know that's true. Government costs 10X what it should and that's being polite.
BattloidKouji
Medicaid has about 1/7th the overhead costs of general private health insurance. That's clearly not 10x more than what it "should be".
DrunkCommentsMadeMeMakeANewAccount
Because they don't allow private companies to compete, if everyone could access all insurance companies across state lines they would compet
BattloidKouji
That has literally nothing to do with medicaid, nor would it reduce their overhead.
BattloidKouji
Do you remember how much money we lost the last time he shut down the govt? Not just the govt itself but companies too? It was billions.
SaintMaceToTheFace
Well perhaps democrats should have been willing to compromise
BattloidKouji
I'm sorry, but democrats didn't shut down the government.
geriatricsanatore
Everyone did.
AmiAthena
A Nordic country would be a more apt comparison than Greece.
ranchenthusiast
As a dumb person, why Nordic countries?
Ragnarok1030
Lol no it wouldn't.
BeardKhan
I thought it was a comparison of greece's ambisions to one day become more like an european government
Vektraux
Like Finland? The "sick man" of the EU?
Xivandre
Like... Finland?
SaintMaceToTheFace
Nah. Because eventually you won't be able to prop up your economy on oil. It will all come crashing down
ThePowerOf42
As a person from the Nordic Country. You better believe it...
marsgoose
No, Nordic countries are in top of the pack as far as free market and capitalism go.
marsgoose
He uses the same arguments as the Greek socialists and his supporters want him for the same reasons socialist won in Greece.
Stanistani
*psst* They're not trying to be nice.
HotPeaSoup
That's the problem.
favdumpthrowaway
Like Sweden. Crime rates through the roof, and soon a lower HDI than many developing third world countries. All due to government decisions.
Malkiot
Germany with 1million refugees per year is heading the same route.
TheThingNoNotThatOne
Almost like socialism doesn't work as well when there's a massive underclass.
imnicetopeopleontheinternet
Americans tend to oversimplify the Nordic counties we idealize. Every system has its warts.
imnicetopeopleontheinternet
Idealize? Wtf was I thinking. Too sleepy. I meant idolize, maybe look up to. Sorry.
sj2890
"every country has its warts" - I like that +1
GaiusMariusTheGreat
All of these are backhanded, so Greece is a perfect example.
BattloidKouji
Except the Cruz and Santorum ones aren't backhanded at all. They actually happened or are legit policy positions.
s0crat3s
You mean like Denmark that has no federal minimum wage and one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the first world?
valdbagina69420
I like how this is being upvoted even though it's not true.

We do have a minimum wage and we have high taxes.
