re: #392 jaunte

If they care about the country so much, why aren’t 20 prominent Republicans from the imaginary “Reasonable” wing of the party primarying the shit out of President Stupid instead of kibitzing about how Democrats aren’t cleaning up their fucking mess the right way?

During Richard Lugar’s brief 1996 run for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, he made the naive statement that he did not believe there was a 20 million dollar entry fee to run for the office. It’s difficult to get publicity and airtime if you are not personally wealthy or you don’t have a serious base who will support you or you don’t have a charismatic presence; if you hold a political office, you may be sacrificing that position for a run that cannot succeed.
