Being a mouthy cunt (MC) is the new brand. The point is to be a shouty fuck, as scandalous as possible, and hopefully Fox News will pick you up.
The market for Mitt Romney type GOPers is being eroded by Dems, and the extreme right MC market is opening up and occupying space. People who would have aligned themselves with white power groups and might not have voted before have more viable candidates now.

There's at least two plus side of this:

It becomes more difficult to vote for Romney types, because of the noise generated by newer Republicans. The MC brand hurts the older GOP brand in general.

MC types do not care about the GOP in the way Romney / McCain etc would, they are only acting in self interest. As soon as it becomes in their interest to damage someone, they will regardless of party.

Ranjeev Puri... sounds Sikh.

Yeah. Sikh lad.

I might have mentioned it a couple of times before, but there's something going on with Sikhism that's deeply good.
I've been meaning to work out what the deal is here, is it related to the religion, or the community somehow, or if I'm confirmation biasing it or what.
But I think it's a real thing? Lots of religions talk shite about being good people, and from what I've seen one religion seems to consistently generate sound people, Sikhism.
