Just make one big circle, call it "Liars", and they all (even Democrats) fit in. Simple. We are ruled by the Liar party.

He died in a car wreck.
There is no way it's coincidence that as the Ds show such obvious political vulnerability that the Rs choose this exact moment in time to divide against themselves.
This is Kabuki Theatre. ALL OF IT. There may be two parties but there is only one agenda: kill the middle class. As quickly and ruthlessly as possible.
People are ruled by a small blob of brain cells called Dupe Neurons.
Most people have them.

All this doesn't matter, the country goes to chaos before the next election and were stuck with Barry. We've all died and gone to hell but we don't know it.
Okay... now please show us the same for the Dems.
Certainly ZH does not want to be seen as Dem shills..
And would certainly do that? Right?
Rand Paul or just skip it and stay home again
I'll skip it, never vote again for even local amendments. It's a stupid DEMOCRACY that serves to divide and conquer and anyone is nuts to think that anyone but Jebbie and Hitlery will form the next tag team. Paul may not even make the trumped up phony debates that I will refuse to watch. If their phones don't ring, it's me. Good Country song.
Certainly ZH does not want to be seen as Dem shills..
Certainly not while we're in takeover talks with HuffPo.
Just because Ron Paul is a Libertarian, does NOT make Rand one as well. Just listen to what he says...
And not one of these dumfux has spoken about the racial Hiring Quotas in the demoterds last banking Bill.....
Fuck them all
Visualize . . .
Five bubbles:
Bubble number one is the biggest bubble . . . right now.
you left out my good friend, mister trump.
he is deep in the green disk, and that's why has has my support.
hugs,
RP
Trump a libertarian?
Not exactly and he's also an egotistical jerk.
Those huge faults included and he's still the best candidate by far.
Why? The political machine would hate him with every fiber of its being, and that sick fuck would actually enjoy pissing them off.
I like that tbought.
Trump being elected would be as beneficial as trying to change the course of the Titanic by standing on its deck and farting.
No it would be as beneficial as standing on the deck of the Titanic and farting in Jacob Astor's face. You still die, but huge difference in the satisfaction quotient.
And yes, I know Astor opposed the FRA; this is allegorical to illustrate a point.
Not my fault that all the Rothschild stooges knew the plot and canceled their reservations.
Dickless Donald doesn't fit into any of the circles !
Cars seem to be in vogue these days after they tried to get Nigel in a plane crash and the pilot chickened out mid-plot.
Heh. I got it. Brick Mansions. If you don't get any more +1's you'll know I was the only one. :-)
Is there one new word that describes fascist, corporatist, totalitarian sellouts? That's the party both Democrats and Republicans belong to. With the exception of Bernie Sanders.
Regarding Bernie Sanders, I really am torn.
On one hand I like what he's been saying publicly. On the other hand: Jew.
Can anyone trust him? Of course not, he's no different than any other politician and he has to play the nice moderate if he wants to have a shot at becoming mean extremist Hilary's VP.
Supporter of Sanders = world class dupe.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me a hundred times, I'm an American voter.
Sanders is a socialist. Just because we agree with him that this crony capitalism is a horrible thing, do not think there is any other agreements on a wide range of issues.
It is not that he's against crony capitalism ; he is against all capitalism.
And the wars. The fucking wars.
Yep, Sanders loves the wars, and voting for appropriations for them. So kind of an MIC socialist...
Only a handful aren't.
He's just protecting his tribe.
What's a "republican" ? How is it different from a "democrat" ? Does it matter ??
Governmentalist best describes members of the left and right.

All the worst of each one rolled into a giant turd!
You left out Psychopath, all love murder.
I'm not one for labels, but I do like the sound of:
PsychoSocioFascistKleptoOligarchalCronyCapitalism
It kinda tells you all you need to know about the current state of the (dis)union
Bernie Sanders has been true to his word his entire career
Time to start printing for the people and let the banksters pay it back!!
Trickle up
Where's the one ring Democrat Ven diagram that reads elitist? Also, why isn't Hillary listed as a crony-capitalist neo-con somewhere above? ;-)
She's a progressive White bitch who doesn't have the balls to dump her cheating scumbag Husband - even though she fathered her Daughter with Webster Hubbell - and this on top of eliminating Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and many others in assasinations that would make Stalin blush!
Foarwurd!
The grey square = owned by Zionist banking cabal
Wow Dr. Carson doesn't rate Establishment GOProg? Confederate flag wavers ;0
Jim Webb is defending Confederate memorials. If Jim Webb could win the Democratic nomination, I would vote for him.
Need to update that.
Mister TRUMP just ranked up at #2 behind Bush III...
I am not certain that is a factually accurate comment.
Down-voters: OK, fair enough. I hear you and therefore did some further reasearch.
Given that I rarely get called on the carpet because of factual innacuracy, here is a summary of the latest poll results. Aside from the Fox News poll (in which Trump is indeed second only to Bush), Trump is well down the list in every other poll:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republica...
He does better than that Fiorina bitch...
Of course a Fox News poll shows Jeb and Trump running 1 & 2.
What's a Fox News?
NoDebt, you are far too smart to be sucked into that false polling crap. Bush is leading the betting odds in the UK online betting sites by a wide margin. Last I checked, Trump was 50/1 and My-Father's-Dick-Worked is 11/3. Hitlery was 11/10. I'll always put more trust in a poll that has skin on the line. The rest are manipulating punk pussy go-fers.
Fox had the only poll that began AFTER Trump's announcement. Many of them even finished before his announcement.
Trump ranked #2 in New Hampshire, a very important primary state. For him to be #2 after so little time in the race is striking. He also beat Christie by an extremely high ratio (20 to 1 or something like that) in a recent poll in Christie's state. I think Trump is just beginning to ramp up. He will almost certainly be the most interesting candidate since Ross Perot, but this is in an era much more likely to be looking for someone like Trump or Perot.
It's hard to believe the nation would ever go for Bush III after the disaster that was Bush II. Bush III is an average politician with a superior base of support. He will not do well in debates. I expect him to fade rapidly because of that. I think Trump is more likely to face a challenge from Walker or even Paul than Bush III. My personal preference is Paul, but Rand is already getting the same treatment from the media as Ron got.
Forget Cruz. His poll numbers aren't good, he's not a great speaker, and he's not a natural born citizen except maybe of Canada.
All this is assuming there is actually going to be an election.
On the contrary, New Hampshire has a shoddy history picking Presidents that weren't incumbents.
The bubble not shown, as it is too large, and encompasses them all, is the one marked "bought."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
"I am not a crook, but I do play one in CONgress."
That bubble would encompass more than just the Republican party. For instance, Hillary (likely to be our next president, because she was "promised") has all but hung out a sign announcing that she's for sale to the highest bidder. The others are as well, they're just a bit more discreet about it.
Hill and Bill are too big for their britches. They think they have outgrown the reservation.
TPTB place a premium on control and Bill was the B-Team who snuck past Bush 1 only because the FED couldn't cheapen money fast enough to offset the Recession at the time. The result was it turbo-charged Slick Willie through the tech bubble and an illusion of economic success. His payback to his Masters: the destruction of Glass-Steagall that has served the Ponzi ever since.
Hegelian Dialectic says Hope and Change but the R version this time. No one in their right mind would buy Trump or the fraud that would deliver him. I predict Cruz v. Hillary with scandal on Hillary at the end delivering for Cruz and The New Populism! who is a product of the CFR regardless of what anyone contests...but if he is a credible authoritarian, it will move their agenda forward in the next period that will be challenging for them as well as the average citizen.
Third party run put Clinton in the WH. I'm not judging, just stating a fact. Either way, it was lose/lose for the people.
Good point. Yeah that too. I forgot about Admiral Stockdale...lol After Iran Contra and the emergence of the threat of Rex 84 perhaps it was all hands on deck to prevent martial law and make sure Bush 1 wasn't re-elected.
5 circles filled with dots, and not a single will win against the UN puppet that is Hillary.
What about the hair piece TRUMP ? Shouldn't he be in the VENN?
The original (modern) Tea Party slogan used to be "stop the looting and start prosecuting".. It's not even worth labelling anyone "Tea Party" now because that means absolutely nothing.
Total Complete Full Spectrum World Domintion will not be achieved by these Megalomaniacs.
We know who they are. We know where they & their families live. We have plenty of Guns, Ammumnition & lovely suppressors that with just a whisper will end their Psychopathic reign of Terror & won't even hear it coming.
They will have absolutely NO safe haven, NO safe quarter. They will be hunted down every square inch of the earth.
To the megalomaniacal Psychopaths / Sociopaths:
You should be afraid very, very, very afraid. Dying times here.
Walker is also a Christian conservative. He got his start in the right to life movement. I met him at a fundraiser for George HW Bush and was talking to him about small business and he quickly changed the subject to abortion. He's a son of a preacher.
But he was for the Gang of Eight mass amnesty legislation before he was against it. I don't think that I can vote for another GOP from a rabidly socialist state. Ya just have to be very suspicious. you don't have to, but I am now and forever.
I am waiting for the pol that comes out and tells me who I am voting for. I just know it's some one approved by our national parties - who is black mail able - pederast at the very least, has plastic surgery, and loves Americka.
The Venn diagram only shows the orientation of these candidates based on what they say. What they do will be the same as Clinton II, Obama, Bush II, Clinton I, Bush I...
Where is Trump god dammit?
The diagram was made before Trump announced he would run.
Candidates Trump has spoken relatively well of include Paul, Walker, Cruz, and Perry. I would put him about at the center of that group. That is further confirmed by his disparageent of Bush, Rubio, and Christie.
Trump is in the clown circle.
I see a large PURPLE purple circle, with RINO written across it.
Bitchez/ Booo Yahh
RINO is cool, cause Collaborators takes up too much space.
1. I think Bush, Graham, and Rubio belong in the Christian Conservative set.
2. I think that, in a Venn Diagram, noone is on a line. Everyone is INSIDE a set. Therefore, Christie, Graham, Fiorina, Kasich, Jindal, and Perry don't get to be on dividing lines, the way the picture shows them.
3. I think that, in a Venn Diagram, everyone in a set is in an equal position. So, for example, Huckabee and Santorum, in the Christian Conservative set, are right next to one another. Huckabee is not "more" Christian Conservative than Santorum. (And, again, I think Bush, Graham, and Rubio belong in that set.)
4. Funny how Paul is shown outside the Tea Party set. I thought Ron Paul was the first one to actually throw bales of tea into the harbor, and has been throwing bales of tea into the harbor for decades, and is still throwing bales of tea into the harbor. Walker, Cruz, Perry, and Carson, not so much. But perhaps that just means I'm a bit disappointed right now with the Tea Party.
Ron Paul is out of elected office
That Paul shown is his son.
Correct. This Paul should be in that lime canal (Libertarian-Establishment) whereas his dad would in the middle of the green.
Viva La Paul!!
Hey I like Ron Paul. My problem is just trusting his economics.
I think Ron Paul is honest, shows true integrity, and is real.
His economics position is his best virtue, read some more and I think you may agree.
The Tea Party in Kentucky gave Rand Paul his start as to votes in the primary. Without them, he would have lost to Clinton Clone Jack Conman Conway, the father of the herion epidemic in Kentucky. Paul did the circuit of Tea Party monthly meetings over and over. That said, I would speculate that the majority of his campaign contributions came from outside the Commonwealth, libertarians doncha know.
Thanks. Good for the Tea Party.
So that might move Rand Paul to the overlap of Tea Party and Libertarian.
I am aware of that. But thank you.
Does the guy that draws the circles work for JPM or the Squid?
Well,... like man. Where is the Crony Circle showing the Corruption?
-
And Where is the Lobby Circle showing the Funding Corrupting the politicians?
Should be a totally new Venn Diagram of Biggest Lobbyist circling on the Republican Party... AND another Diagram Circle the Democrat Party just for first Article.
Part 2 would Expand to Foundations.
Part 3 would go to Contractors.
It's the square holding all the circles with the narrative on top bottom and both sides.
Das nicht Ein Venn Diagram!!
losers, every last one of them. Vote for a sociopath and you will get the government you deserve.
Upvote for Moccasin, but the difference in a Sociopath, one with no conscience, and Psychopath, which is a lithiumless murderer with no conscience. That includes the Clintons, Bushes, and Israelis.
Sociopath is far too tame a tag for the FSA politicians and bureaucrats. The savior, Rubio, has emerged from the telephone booth with a full swastika on his cape ready to go kill people. Maybe he enlisted McCain, Graham, Bolton and the rest of the war worshippers on his advisory team.
Carly Fiorina and Rubio are 100% pure Establishment?
I don't think so.
Carly Fiorina was ousted from HP. She destroyed the American banking segment, with China.
Carly Fiorina is a golden parachute degenerate!
Open container, drink kool aid.
I think Carly Fiorina may have pissed off some former HP employees.
Undoubtedly, they were Democrats.
I think Marco Rubio is 100% pure Establishment.
What's the difference between "Moderate" and "Establishment"?
I guess you can be a nobody and be a "Moderate", but if you are "Establishment" my guess is that you're not going to be anything else BUT a Moderate.
A moderate is a chickenshit fence straddler that stands for nothing.
Now you got me thinking. What is Establishment, anyway?
Is it Big Banking/Business/Military/Propaganda/Police? Big Fascism? Does Establishment mean "the richest of the rich"?
Surely noone was more Establishment than George W Bush.
So then I move Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, and Marco Rubio to the overlap of Establishment and Christian Conservative.
Better yet, I move Christian Conservative INSIDE Establishment, so that it is a subset of Establishment. Isnt' "conservative", by definition, wanting to continue whatever has long been established?
I think of "Establishment" Republicans as those who want the New York Times and dominant media to give them a pat on the head and say nice things about them, like "they're bipartisan".
"Christian Conservatives" are definitely NOT establishment. They are an embarrassment to the establishment.
If you draw a horizontal line across the centre of that blob-chart, those above the line lean towards statism and those below lean towards libertarianism.
I count only 5 below the line (Perry, Walker, Cruz, Paul, Carson) with 10 being above it.
Which means that a lot of Repubs are statists - how you say: RINOs, just like their comrades in the Democratic Party. What a surprise. Not.
I wouldn't classify them as "statists"; I would call them "crony capitalists" who are more than happy to have the state as a customer. State money spends just as well as free market money.
Well, I really like Ayn Rand and Ron Paul. So, I've got to go for Rand Paul. His flat tax proposal will certainly put tax lawyers out of business and most lobbist too, so that's the best reason to support him. And also, goodbye TSA and NSA and the Dept of Education. All good reasons to support him. Starve the beast is the only way to control .gov. Evade taxes at all opportunity. Pay cash and barter.
Walker!!! It is the candidate most agree on and he wins all the time. He is the only one that governed more conservatively and more libertarian than he campaigned.
Id settle for Kasich. I think he could win
I think "Establishment-Moderate" pretty well characterizes Kasich.
If that's your cup of tea, he's your guy.
Where would you put the circle for "Corrupt" on this diagram and would this circle really look like a mutant potatomorph dick?
Anyone can be corrupt. Heck, everybody is a little corrupt. "Let him without sin throw the first stone".
There needs to be a "Israel before USA" bubble.
RepubliCONs - say one thing, then do the same as the DemonRATs. No more elephantjackass sock puppets for me.
As far as I can tell there is only one name in there that can claim to be part of the bloodline, so that should make it really simple. And I'll bet the baffoon from Newark, NJ won't even declare.
I would put Cruz slightly in the Libertarian bubble.
I would put Cruz squarely in the Libertarian - Tea Party - Christian Conservative bubble.
The diagram doesn't allow that, however.
Unless they convince me otherwise, only a small handful of these candidates are strong enough to stand up to the Boehner/McConnell wing that controls the Republican Party. I would list Paul, Trump, Cruz and Walker. It looks like Rubio sold out on the trade bill in exchange for campaign money. The rest ARE establishment or are not strong enough personalities.
Walker sold us out on the trade bill too. He endorsed it a day or two before the House voted.
I don't see anything that Marco Rubio has ever done in his life except run for office.
You need to include a left wing circle and shift some people over in that direction. Some of these Republicans are not moderate unless you believe what you hear in the media.
Left wing might be giving taxpayers' money to poor people, whereas right wing might be giving taxpayers' money to rich people. Smarter to err to the right. Poor people can't afford to make campaign fund contributions, and many poor people don't even vote. Rich people vote and make contributions.
Moderate=biggest statists of all in media speak and this is from Sivler's blog right?
Interesting. Perry is the only candidate where three philosophies intersect. This is how democracy works, right? The object is to be all things to all people. What a joke!
