Huh. Your Uncle Dave was blissfully away on vacation and somehow missed this momentous event. Did any of you watch it? Apparently, Herman “Godfather Pizza” Cain won it.
Waterboarding is torture. But it is not the only cruel and unusual punishment.
Consider Thursday night’s “presidential” debate between Republican also-rans Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Gary Johnson and Ron Paul — a former governor, a former senator, a former CEO, another former governor and a former Libertarian Party nominee for the nation’s top job.
The first face-off between the Grand Old Party’s third-stringers was so bereft of consequence that House Speaker John Boehner, spotted at a Washington steakhouse at the same time the Fox News-hosted debate was going on, allowed as how he would be satisfied to “read about it tomorrow.”
On a night when everyone who might actually end up as the party’s challenger to President Obama was otherwise engaged, the Republican remainders distinguished themselves with lines like Godfather’s Pizza king Cain’s response to a question about Afghanistan policy: “At this point, I don’t know all the facts.”
I wonder how long Alfie’s been on welfare during his life?
tcc3, I was responding to Bobbo’s claim that government health care would lower business’s costs. I don’t think it would, and it might even raise them, as government provision of health care would destroy the value of the compensation that businesses currently provide.
Bobbo, you are right that some big businesses do support government health care for the reason you state. Basically the ones that are stuck with a union contract whose cost rises they did not expect.
I am probably going to vote for Herman Cain. We’ll see who the racists really are if he becomes President.
Benjamin, you feel OK with his stance against hiring Muslims?
BTW, on the whole racism thing. When Republicans pull that out it sounds like a bunch of old white guys saying “Hey look us! We have a Negro too!”
I would just avoid the subject if I were you. It ain’t your strong suit.
#63 There are some loong odds there. I don’t think he could win enough support for the nomination. And unless he shifts back to center on several issues(which is possible – usually happens), he wont have any independent support for the election either.
Too early to tell, but it doesn’t seem likely.
