He also started the "Minutemen movement" along the border.
THAT's who that guy is?! Oh, hell yeah! Pubs, please nominate him! Infinite ironic entertainment value!
(Only thing is, how are you going to win any race in CA with 0% of the Hispanic vote?)

That was my thought as well. He definitely will not win the hispanic vote which is a large portion of California.

I'm hoping Rob Ford gives it a run. He'll reign in taxes by day and give us something to laugh about by night.

The only reason Republicans would hope that is because he's a white male.

Yeah, you can see all of the Republicans making jokes about Palin and Cain. They hate them. They can't stand Ben Carson either. Oh, I'm sorry, that's the Democrats who hate them. Liberals think they own women and black people. God help any woman or black person who expresses conservative views. They will be shat on often without a soul on the left standing up against it. I don't believe for a second that Republicans will not vote for a good Republican black or woman candidate. How many would be electable on the national scene right now? Palin? Nope. Bachman? Nope. Cain? Not since the accusations surfaced. He was leading in the polls for a while. Ben Carson? Few want to elect another charismatic person with inexperience. At one time Powell would have had a good chance. I'd still vote for him. He's too moderate to get the nod now. I'm not even sure he is still a Republican.

Intellect is a great thing, but it does require more effort than a cheesy soundbite.

I'm not happy Brown rejected the 1 year extension on healthcare plans. If I were to pick a similar plan to my current insurance, it would cost me around $420 per month. Right now, I'm paying $202 per month. That's more than double, so I will have to buy a plan that has a much higher deductible and copay and still it will be more expensive than what I'm currently paying.

I support healthcare reform, but they need to get all their screws on right before mandating people use it. I thought it was supposed to make healthcare more affordable, which it is not. At this point, I would actually agree Obamacare should be revoked because it's too expensive. I would rather them work out the details more until rates are at least the same as now, but since they are shoving it down my throat at twice the cost, I don't want it!

It sounds like you love soundbites about as much as I do; not at all.
