Ladies and gentlemen, I give you an historic record of the Sleestak-Dole Debates of 1996
"One Man, One Prehistoric Walking Lizard*. Both seeking the top office in the United States. What happens when man meets lizard?
(* the prehistoric walking lizard is the one on the left)""
(* the prehistoric walking lizard is the one on the left)""
In one of the debates, Bob Dole utters this prophetic statement:
"It is as if we went to sleep in one America and woke up in quite another land which happens to be lost. It is as though our government, and our institutions and our culture have been hijacked by lizards and are careening dangerously off course."
Probably a majority would agree with this at this time.
And here is a quoted exchange between Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich mentioned at the Sleestak political blog "Enik Rising":
Gingrich: "Why do so many people take an instant dislike to me?"
Dole: "It saves time."
How many have been following the debates and other parts of the campaign closely? I admit I have not watched one debate yet, but I have been tempted. I mostly rely for information on these after the fact from radio news, newspapers, and internet sites (including blogs).

To the right is a picture of the pterodactyl-headed mutant Sauron., a minor 'X-Men" villain. Ever since he went public, he has faced mounting debt from the lawsuits from the J.R.R. Tolkien estate. In 2008, he decided to supplement his income by writing Howard Dean campaign speeches.
Has anyone been watching the debates and the speeches on C-SPAN and other channels? And at this point in the Republican race, with people still having major misgivings about Romney and Gingrich (an uneasy mix of what I see as lack of great enthusiasm from anyone for Romney, and a strong animosity toward Gingrich from some), should a Sleestak enter the race to make it interesting? Or can see say that Ron Paul was close enough, and we don't need to try that again.
And yes, I have some animosity toward Ron Paul and his supporters dating back from a time a group of them attached campaign flyers to cars in my church parking lot, and threw a lot more than they attached to the cars on the ground. I guess the libertarian respect for property rights does not extend to automobile owners, nor does it prohibit trashing privately-owned parking lots.

Hey dmarks... Dropped you at shout out at my blog...
Thanks, Dave. Your blog's posts on Mexico are a good reminder to those who think that Mexicans are real people, not drug-pushing fiends out to steal jobs, force us to speak Spanish, and destroy America.
I suspect that most politicians are not quite human. A Sleestak candidacy should not be discounted :)
A sleestak would be fine...I'd need to see their campaign platform, but assume they are
Green party.

The Green party lost credibility for me when the national organization ran a crazy lady (for President) who has been caught funneling money to Middle Eastern terrorists and blames "The Jews" for her political problems.
Based on this, a hissing lizard would be an improvment.
I checked the Green Party web site, and found no hint of who they plan to run for President this year. I rather doubt they will repeat this mistake.
While I am not ignoring the campaign by any means, I am not absorbing every possible moment of it. Actually a Sleestak would be a slight improvement as he would not pretend to be doing it for us.
What happens when man meets lizard? Lizard devours man.
I remember Sauron, he was fighting his "evil side" and good won out.
I love these posts!
I have decided to call them Mitt Gingrich and Newt Romney. Anyone else is welcome to join me in this name campaign.
Moot Romnitch?
Nitt Gingney.
Dole is finally getting his revenge for Mr. Gingrich having called him the "tax collector for the welfare state".
