GOP Race Heats Up As Candidate In Coma More Appealing Than Rest of Field

[wackywinnebago]

too soon!



[ZenSeizure]

It'll be the first time I vote republican.

[GusF]

The woman who played Donna Clarkson also played Willow's mother in "Buffy", incidentally.

[lazyperfectionist1]

I hope Brooke keeps us up to date on the latest developments in her efforts to bribe him.

[yodellikeyoumeanit09]

I think Obama should just run on the platform "at least I'm not GOP."

[devourerofbabies]

@yodellikeyoumeanit09 He basically is.

[rewinn]

He could probably win the next GOP debate, just by saying nothing!

[Thorpe741]

Funny thing is, some chicklet brained Republican will think this is real and actually vote for this guy!!

[dedalus22]

loooooooooooool

[mafarmerga]

I wish he would run against my Congressman Paul Broun, GA 10th District.

I would take a guy in a coma over Broun any day!

[SuperLink517]

The lady at :55 was probably like "What do I do with my hands" right before they started rolling and nobody ever told her

[kagome4life456]

eh tasteless video.

[suzuki834]

ever since they became a tv show they look alot more fake

it kinda ruins it for me i loved how real everything looked like the ninja parade

[cromagnan]

No good Repub candidates out there...SAD

[xXShortEmoKidXx]

Still more intelligent than Bachmann.

[testing88534]

Great to see a man in a coma having a cult of personality like Ron Paul.

[MrHogslice]

A two minute add before a 1 minute video? dislike

[1poptart36]

@MrHogslice fuck you adblock plus bla bla bla cry some more

[peterfaj]

@MrHogslice Why don't people learn to use adblock plus?

[liveleakTV9]

@MrHogslice thumbs down. You're a retard who should get adblock I bet you use IE LMAO

[Arstim]

@MrHogslice

Usa AddBlock mate

[blindthrall]

One step closer to a necrocracy.

[necroticstrike]

Is that willow's mom?!

[RyanB35]

OMG THE BABY! 0:41

[V35T1N]

Captain Obvious says:

If you judge a person based on bad things they don't do, a comatose guy IS a great choice.

[3martijns]

USA would be better if obama had done Nothing at all!!

[nanerrat]

Reminds me of when Mel Carnahan beat John Ashcroft for the U.S, Senate After being killed in a plane crash. The people of Missouri knew what a POS Ashcroft was way back then and voted a dead guy in to replace him

[DuralastTurbo]

Hey that's interesting - I wasn't aware until now that the goal of 'The Onion' was the destruction of the USA! =) THANX 4 the tip! Now we all know, because The Onion pretends Ron Paul doesn't exist, etc.

[pchtermino1]

"I've blackmailed a lot of politicians before but never one in a coma, could be an interesting challenge"

I just love Brooke!

[UltimateBritney]

lmao 

[Joeweeeeeeee]

Wow that's messed up

[Prinzmetal49]

LoL This is fucking sick, man...

[KenFan4life]

lol, lady rubbed that baby on his lips

[32Pennies]

Candidate In Coma More Appealing Than Rest.............especially more appealing than barack.

[jauffRINDIR]

@32Pennies obama is a pretty awesome president

[32Pennies]

@jauffRINDIR He'll go down as the worst president of ALL time. Yes......even worse than Carter! I'm just glad he's a one termer.

[jauffRINDIR]

@32Pennies why?

[32Pennies]

@jauffRINDIR Obama has compiled a remarkable record of economic disasters in his 31 months as President. He has added $4.3 trillion to our national debt, quadrupled our budget deficit, championed an unpopular and unfunded socialized healthcare plan and rammed through an unworkable $800 billion stimulus plan. In the process, gasoline prices have skyrocketed, home sales have tanked, the dollar is being challenged as the global reserve currency and inflation is rearing its ugly head again.

[32Pennies]

Our country is suffering from 9.1 percent unemployment with an underemployment rate of 16.1 percent. Under President Obama, the number of chronically unemployed people is at an all-time high, as is the number of Americans on food stamps ($45.3 million).

[Marturion88]

@32Pennies yeah...right the WORLDWIDE financial crisis, which hit a lot more countries than just the USA, is all Obamas fault. And Bush did everything right? Stop criticizing Obama for trying to clean up the mess of a country Bush left behind.

[Neylonx]

@32Pennies obama got given a really shitty situation, all those things would have happened if mcain got elected instead. plus palin would have power, the world would already have ended

[SuperTrailerz]

@Neylonx idiot

[DuralastTurbo]

@32Pennies Gas was $5 a gallon under Bush, U boob.

[kingatowning]

@jauffRINDIR define "awesome"

[TheNextBestName]

A sleeper in the white house... makes sense.

[VideoMusicTime]

That feeling when people comment on things that aren't the YouTube video they just watched.

[dillonator42]

Julia Doubleday is an awesome name. 

[kerrywsmyth]

Mitt Romney is at around 25%

If Perry, Gingrich, Bachmann and Santorum all leave the race now, that would put Cain at about 73%.

Agreed?

[ChiefsFan581]

@kerrywsmyth lol no. Cain is a jackass. He's an Authoritarian and his support is dwindling.

[Knightmessenger]

the media must really be getting desperate to avoid covering Ron Paul if they're now focused on someone in a comma.

This guy must be the new frontrunner of the month.

[lokalllize]

if he was black he would defo win

[robsmalls]

He's not going to take the decline of our great nation lying down. Oh, wait...

[Harusama]

It's a shame he was caught in that sex scandal : \

[bogdan1bogdan]

it still beats the bush administration.

[TheMusketITuckedIt]

Way to sleep your way through congress, as if we didn't have enough scandals.

[MCAMVP]

US voters seem to be in a coma of their own

[selan100]

Oh the things I would do to you Brooke if you were in a coma, my dear. 

[lemans24fan]

@selan100 milf alert. lol

[LtShock]

Is this satire as well?? Because the story is 100% accurate. A guy in a come is still better than any of the GOP candidates.

[xlegiofalco]

Still more publicity than Ron Paul

[rseveran]

@xlegiofalco Zing!!

[34601k]

@xlegiofalco Ron Paul is too old to be president............

[gadzy]

@xlegiofalco

Also saying more realistic things than Ron Paul.

[Roeshamboe05]

@xlegiofalco Well to be fair, Ron Paul is crazy as shit. All libertarians are. Do you know his stance on climate change? How about his stance on stem cell research, or just science in general? Ask him if he approves of child labor regulations or the minimum wage regulation? Ron Paul doesn't get media coverage because everyone knows he will never be President and will never win the Republican nomination EVER. He's stuck in 1960 and hasn't realized the nation moved on.

[hydrosav2007]

Haha

[SgtDonuts]

It's good to see John McCain still maintains the vibrancy and tact of his earlier years

[lanceawatt]

0:10 'War for the White House 2012' GREAT parody on such an overused and senseless expression - e.g. War on Drugs, War on Terror.

[Proletariat12]

I still can't look away from her amazing neck.

[RocRizzo]

I heard he's a favorite of the Ron Paul crowd.

[dangraphic]

@RocRizzo

You know what? F*ck Y*u... You're going to be surprised.

[HolyCity2012]

Clarkson 2012

[HolyCity2012]

Some comic genius posted this on DU and left "The Onion" in the head line. Kinda' like when you watch a movie with someone who tells you about the funny parts just before. ...

Some people.

[Oozy9Millimeetah]

Ron Paul/coma guy 2012

[dangraphic]

@Oozy9Millimeetah

You morons are the one's in comas, Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate with the capacity to give America back to us.

[Pilaf1984]

@dangraphic How's he gonna do that without congress? Sounds like too much government to me. ;)

[seanThree16]

Gonna go have a beer near him.

[MateiAlexandruBogdan]

His "stance" on the issues. :))

[animehater1]

How did he announce his candidacy in the first place?

[ChiefsFan581]

@animehater1 The GOP did for him, kinda like they tried with Chris Christie. They're trying to find anyone that can beat Ron Paul, and they're doing a shitty job. Not that it's a bad thing ;)

[confusedkid6]

LMFAO at 0:40 and 0:50

[Etimos]

Lol, this is incredible... it is AMAZING how far the Onion and similar programs have to go to actually Satirize the already incredible stupid reality of US politics! Even THIS, THIS barely qualifies as satire, if you pay attention to the actual election coverage, lol!

[cromartie800]

OMG, How do I bribe this one?

W DC- Lobbyists

[theamzaingjosh]

I know whose got my vote 

[Chopchopchop]

At least he won't go invade another country.

[w9j15g]

It's because he's the only one who isn't saying anything stupid.

Just kidding. Saying stupid shit is a prerequisite for the Republican nomination.

[NIKKElsix]

*** _RiP GOP_ ***

The perfect representative 4 D republican party who was once Lincoln's party & fought to keep the Union together & end slavery in America.

& now is just a ROTtiNG CARCASS oozing out hate, racism, masochism & elitism*

[MrEddieChaos]

Offended by satire, rage quit

[rorcon]

Satire is so close to the truth.

[AznSlayer93]

This the type of person we need in office. A person who won't ever lie to his people.

[uJellie]

@AznSlayer93 Or tell the truth...

[arsening]

@AznSlayer93 or say anything for that matter

[TheLuckySaGe]

@AznSlayer93 isn't he "lieing" right now? :P

[TheRainSnake]

@AznSlayer93 what do you mean? he flat out lies every hour of the day.

[ZhangtheGreat]

@AznSlayer93, yup. He won't lie to his people because he'll just lie...there.

[TheSaintOfPain]

@AznSlayer93

Yeah, he'll lie BY them, but not TO them.

[LaxRatBra]

@AznSlayer93 Actually he was recently in a sex scandal.

[offensichtlich42]

i like the super extreme action loaded logo "WAR for the WHITE HOUSE 2012"

a 1-second masterpiece.

[brucevbracken]

I thought he WAS John McCain.

[GigawingsVideo]

BEST.POLITICIAN.EVER!

[Unknownboi88]

Better than John Maccain

[1schwererziehbar1]

the next john mccain?

[alwaystextback]

His STANCE on the issues. Fucking great!

[cheriekshin]

LOL. "I've blackmailed a lot of politicians before..." Haha wtf?

[69hockeyman69]

"hasnt felt this relaxed in yeras"

Really? Because it looks like she gets out a lot

[colddrake80]

Brooke Alvarez is a bit of brilliant casting. She has the news babe thing down perfectly.

[Cubelarooso]

Clarkson/Cressbeckler 2012!

[DinMorsPimp]

I wish all politician would slip into a coma. The world would be a much better place..

[chrisstevens2]

I love you Brooke!

[HaROFLMFAOhA]

Brooke Alvarez: "I've blackmailed a lot of politicians, but never one in a coma....Could be an interesting Challenge..." HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA, cracked me up

[jopalolive]

He hasn't said one thing I disagree with.

I know who I'll be voting for !

[DrOrphious79]

even a comatose president would fuck it up

[dharmaseed]

Oh no, satire!!

[TheCrazyGuy91]

I love you Onion!

[davebear69]

His spinal column is shattered, but he still has more backbone than anyone in the white house.

Funnest line I've heard in ages !!!

[pacrox2]

i have his sign outside my yard

[Violent2aShadow]

Finally! A candidate who can get Congress moving again!

[mrbadx19]

he has ron paul beat by a mile! romney is now a distant 4th, clarkson pulls into second! rassmussen polls!!!!

[RoundenBrown]

Comatose patients for Clarkson!

[jeffreyjackson1986]

Clarkson makes a damn good argument. It's hard not to agree with him.

[ScholteimReinbachIII]

@jeffreyjackson1986 You mean it's hard to disagree. lol

[poland2985]

You must not know of Ron Paul.

[yellowpowwer]

he's got my vote

[XRayden]

Still more chance of winning that Bachman

[D0ublezer0x]

@XRayden

thank god for that

[deepashtray]

How did they get Romney to play along?

[KenMacMillan]

If it weren't for Ron Paul this would be accurate!

[jbear0000]

I'll vote for him, I am sure he will be better than the rest of the guys who have run this country over the past few hundred years.

[WTfilms47]

Well he is very close to the health care situation

[Ledwix]

That girl saying "WOOO" seemed so unenthusiastic, hahaha.

[drewb1994]

At least he cant fuck things up for us...

[Chucktanium]

And you thought Joe Lieberman was the most boring politician!

..well okay he still is but Clarkson is a close second.

[shlkyc02]

would still beat beat Perry, Bachmann, and Cain in a debate. Romney might break even.

[june372]

@shlkyc02 Romney is Obama 2.0, and we all know what Obama is good at...talking

[MAXBLAYLOCK]

Beats Michelle Bachmann thats for sure

[slapnut892]

Don't you guys get it; the joke here is, that a president that does not move or speak can do a better job than one who can... He's got my vote.

[AmericanPride1234]

hes got my vote. at least i know he will do more then the current president

[Psychotron7x2]

Meh.... better than Romney

[gmorfinz]

her last comment was unnecessary

[Azrhei]

@gmorfinz but still funny :)

[numba1vice]

ahh i see, i think he has reached Political Nirvana

[adirm18]

blackmailing him is not a chalenge for someone as great as you

[caltake1]

This is the most brilliant video I have ever seen. *Raises glass of wine*

[tyrex95psn]

i would also vote for him

[LightsiderVlogs]

I'd vote for him!

[mrx0066600]

finally a candidate that speaks my - - - - -

[twitchster77]

Why can't all robots be as hot as Brooke Alvarez?

[1LostMy0therAccount]

Lol

[CSIS25]

well where i lived a woman got elected in and she died the next day.. true story

[davitodude]

Finally someone in government who doesn't stand with wall street, the bankers, and all this debt we accumulated.

[ihappy1]

@davitodude I don't think he stands for much of anything anymore

ba dum pish

[HentaiFundamentalist]

A president that does nothing is more beneficial than a president that damages the economy with more tax cuts for the rich.

[fullfrost]

I heard Glenn Beck call him a socialist. He ain't getting my vote.

[TipoftheSlung]

Finally US politics acheives its natural level.

[Gamer1990100]

Coma for President!

[polske322]

They didn't count Ron Paul. Then again no media station acknowledges Ron Paul.

[Shyhalu]

@polske322 Sure they did, remember the time he was cheered for at the idea of letting someone who voluntarily forgoes health insurance despite being able to afford it die? Media was all over that and RP can't do anything other than look like a hypocrite or a monster.

[GalaktikNinjA]

@Shyhalu He didn't agree with that, the crowd did.

[polske322]

@Shyhalu So he believes in choice? Hahahaha So he believes the people have a right to CHOOSE what they do economically, physically, and health wise, and that makes him a MONSTER???

[Shyhalu]

@polske322 No you dumbass. What makes him a monster is that hes willing to let someone die for making that choice by refusing the medical care, Did your illiterate psychopathic ass not read the "die" part?. It would be like me not pulling a little kid out of a pool because he didn't think he needed water wings. Think first, then comment, you might actually understand what the hell I'm saying this time around.

[polske322]

@Shyhalu But it's not about who dies it's about how he lives. Listen, besides all the economic bullcrap (BTW state employees and care cost more than private, and this increased cost would be paid by that same person who can't afford it) there is also a philosophical argument over whether or not people have the right to CHOOSE how they live. The constitution says we do, and says that the government cannot force us to pay for anything we feel we don't need.

[Shyhalu]

@polske322 Yes it is about who dies when the death is preventable. You can work out a fucking payment plan. This isn't about mandated insurance you fucking mouthbreather, jesus fucking christ. We are talking about letting someone, a productive member of society making decent salary, die because for whatever reason they did not want to get health insurance. I thought I told you to think before you post, clearly you cant seem to fucking do that. RP is either a hypocrite or a monster, get over it.

[polske322]

@Shyhalu Hahahahahahahahahahaha but I'd rather die now than live in a world where I'm forced to get insurance. BTW it is mandated if you aren't given the option not to have it. I'm sick of people like you who don't even try to have a debate. You just insult. Even if I supported that health care I'd be fucking ashamed of having you arguing on my side. You're the reason our country is shit now, you don't compromise, you don't discuss. Liberal or conservative, people like that are dirt.

[Shyhalu]

@polske322 See, this is why ron paul will never get elected, hes got retards like you following him. I just said this is not about mandated insurance, mandated insurance has nothing to do with the situation....and you are still going on about it. The debate was over when you decided you weren't going to read half the shit I posted and instead selectively read whatever the fuck you want to read. Think before you post, and please dont breed.

[polske322]

@Shyhalu No you really just have no idea what I'm talking about and don't understand what you support or even the argument you're in. You're arguments are purely ad hominem. Good day to you sir.
