The former FED chairman who can't answer a softball question somehow gets declared the victor?

And anyone who claims tea party support is going along with (better yet defending) this? Really?

Is the tea party going to push a FED candidate in this election?
Yes because unfortunately the Tea Party has now been diverted to an astroturf front.

Hopefully they decide to sacrifice Jeb Bush...I don't think we deserve another Bush do we?

I'd take Bush over Palin any day of the week

As for Cain, I like him, but I don't think he has any chance of getting the nomination in the current GOP.

From what I've seen so far of the potential candidates, I'm once again considering putting Ted Nugent as a write-in candidate

Some more gems from that policy wonk Herman:

Quote:
Do you think we still belong in Afghanistan?

I can't answer, because I don't have all the information that the president has in making that determination. Whether or not we should have gone in the first place? That's also is a fuzzy kind of thing. What's the mission in Afghanistan? Based on news reports, going to Afghanistan was supposed to be to help them fight off the Taliban. i think that's the mission, but I'm not sure. If that's the mission the next question is can we win in this fight against the Taliban. I don't know the answer to that. All I know is if you look back in history Russia tried the same thing. And they finally gave up.

Is there anything in the PATRIOT Act that bothers you, that you'd want to see reversed, or are you pretty much okay with that legislation?

I think that the PATRIOT Act is about 90 percent right on. I can't delineate to you exactly what I would want to change, but here again I would rather error on the side of caution and protection, rather than worry about that ten percent that I might have a problem with. Perfect legislation doesn't exist. But I'm happy with legislation that's 90 percent right on especially if it's going to protect the people.
Quote:
What would you say to a civil libertarian who argued that we all want to safeguard American lives, but that if you don't draw some legal line then the government is going to tend to use its authority for nefarious purposes?

What I'd say to them is this. I think it's one of our founding fathers who said - I think it might have been Thomas Jefferson, it might have been Abraham Lincoln, I'm not sure - if men were angels, we wouldn't need laws. Men are not angels. I'm okay doing what we need to do to protect this country. And if we see an opportunity where we need to change a law, then let's change it. Because if we try to debate hard and long how we create the perfect law, we could be annihilated by then. Let's pass laws that are 90 percent right on, and then go back and debate whether or not we need to change somethings - rather than waiting until we have a law or legislation that everybody feels is 100 percent.

Click on the link and get more laughs. Folks, I really wish I was making this all up, I wish that someone so many people have been fooled into supporting wasn't less of an intellectual than Sarah Palin or George W. Bush. However, it's all true.

This man is an empty suit, when will people realize this!? The man has less convictions than Mittens Romney! He has zero idea what's going on. God help us if this is who the Republicans nominate.

Here is a link to an article on him.....Herman Cain: Possible 'Dark Horse' 2012 GOP Presidential Candidate
I think he doesn't have a clear idea for this country. He just mumbles and says he will figure out what to do when the time comes. That is not what we need.

Vote Ron Paul 2012.

Eh... I think Ron Paul is turning batty in his old age. He's starting to sound like a conspiracy nutwhack.

He's been too busy running a pizza chain to put much thought into these political issues. That's what the RW doesn't understand when they say they want a pol who has "business experience". It sounds like he isn't even an educated layperson on many issues. I could probably beat him in a debate.
