John Bolton Decides Not To Seek 2016 Republican Nomination for President

[brooklynite]

Source: Blog4President

As I look forward, I have decided not to seek the Republican nomination for president. I believe I can make the strongest contribution to our future by continuing as a clear and consistent advocate for a strong Reaganite foreign policy that values peace through strength.

While I am not a candidate, I am certainly not going to sit this election out, and I’m counting on your ongoing support to defend America’s national security interests.

1. Wish he would run

I'd like to see him field some questions about how Iran-Contra made us a stronger nation.

[No Vested Interest]

2. Thank God. The thought of John Bolton popping up on my TV

every now and again would be disheartening.

Even now, between all the Republican candidates and the Republican Senate, Republican House, and all their darn think-tanks and "Conservative" meetings, I have to turn-off C-Span more than I would like prefer.

39. One less jerk in the clown car.

[Liberalagogo]

17. But...but...but..

I wanted a Muppet for President!

[Gregorian]

18. Good! It's pavlovian: every time I see his face my blood pressure goes up.

As funny as this group is going to be, that puke can remain out of sight.

[Demeter]

19. I have to wonder who persuaded him

and how much money it took.

[alc]

20. I didn't know anyone cared

Since some people (e.g. John Bolton) thinks it's important, I have an announcement that's just as relevant to the world:

ALC Decides Not To Seek 2016 Republican Nomination for President


Sorry I didn't make a video for the announcement but I have better things to do with my time than make a video that nobody cares about. Besides, my camera is pointed at the toilet for the next time the cat falls in. I have a feeling my video will get more views than John Bolton's..

[eloydude]

21. Don't you have to get the cat first?

[Dem2]

22. Yawn

He just wanted to remind people he existed.

[Bossy Monkey]

23. Auditioning for the Flanders gig on The Simpsons, is he? Well best of luck n/t

[tanyev]

24. Maybe it is easier to keep track of the GOPers who are not running for Prez than those who are.

[SoapBox]

25. I'm torn how I feel...

Or.

[CincyDem]

26. Damn - not I guess I'll be forced to vote for the democrat. I hate when that happens.

Should be necessary but these days, better safe than sorry.

[Eugene]

27. Mixed feelings on this.

While a presidential run by Bonkers would have had great entertainment value,
I am relieved that he won't be president.

Still plenty of candidates in the GOP Clown Car.

[Vinca]

28. What . . . no book to pimp?

How's a crazy guy supposed to get 6 figure speaking engagements if he doesn't run?

[CTyankee]

29. I'm sorry. I can't even remember why he is famous. Did he do something at one time?

[corkhead]

33. Something about threatening to blow up the top 10 floors of the UN building

[CTyankee]

36. OK, I guess...

[corkhead]

37. I didn't know if you were serious or not but this video will tell you all you need to know about him

He was selected by Dubya to be the US ambassador to the UN AFTER these quotes. He's a real piece of work.

[CTyankee]

38. thanks for clarifying...I had forgotten this idiot...

and maybe that was a mercy...jeez...

[MADem]

45. WHAT????? Mister "Plato's Retreat/Forced Group Sex" is taking a PASS? Gee, wonder why?

Apparently he doesn't possess a machine that can scrub ALL our memories...and it would be noticed if he tried to kill us all!

Come on, kids, surely you old school DUers remember this scandal...?

It spawned a lot of funny graphics....

[George II]

30. I'm still considering throwing my hat in the ring.

[Monk06]

31. Mabbit, Tabbit, Frabbit, Rabbit !!!!

[Judi Lynn]

32. After shrieking their lungs out over Bill Clinton/Monica, they would have ignored Bolton's history.

John Bolton's Divorce – Group Sex Allegations
Friday, 13 May 2005, 11:43 am
Press Release: Larry Flynt
John R. Bolton Court Divorce Records Show His First
Wife Fled Home When He Was Traveling Abroad

From Larry Flynt

Publisher Larry Flynt's Questions Posed to State Department Regarding Corroborated Allegations that First Wife was Forced into Group Sex go Unanswered

May 11-LOS ANGELES - Court records concerning the divorce of John R. Bolton, the Bush administration's nominee to become the next ambassador to the United Nations, show his first wife fled the couple's marital home when he was traveling abroad in mid-August 1982. The records further show that she took most of the couple's furniture.

Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton's first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato's Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

"The first Mrs. Bolton's conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or, at a minimum, it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton's established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations," said Mr. Flynt. "The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate." (Click here for court records). Mr. Flynt continued, "The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations must be free of any potential source of disrepute or blackmail."

Mr. Flynt has contacted the State Department asking that they confirm or deny the allegations of Mr. Bolton's prior conduct concerning his wife and the alleged paid visits to Plato's Retreat. He has also called upon the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to conduct an inquiry into the very serious evidence concerning his first wife's fear of him.

44. I am the walrus/Goo-goo gjoob!

What makes these people (Bolton, Fiorina, et al.) run? They have zero chance of winning. I understand it in the case of Bernie--he's trying to get a message out, like Norman Thomas did. But Bolton and Carly have no new message. Just the same old neocon BS.
