I liked Herman!

Here is a fun story: I was at Radio Shack a month or so ago getting some parts. There was an elderly couple in the store and 2 cashiers. The cashiers were 20 something chicks. The POS system crashed, so the cashiers had to kill time chatting with old people. Somehow Obama got brought up and suddenly everyone got mad. All 4 of those people had voted for Obama (according to what they said) and all 4 were pissed they had. After a good 5 minutes of complaining about Obama, one of the chicks said "I wish Herman Cane would have made it. I would have voted for him!"

I think the media intentionally set out to destroy Herman because they know Obama would have had a very tough time winning against him. The media obviously wanted Romney from the get-go and they got what they wanted.

I liked Herman Cain too but the only problem was his 9-9-9 plan didn't add up. Even with the most optimistic jump to the economy it could have produced tax revenue would have dropped, A LOT!

unless the Democrats have caucuses for every State, then Hillary clinton will be the DNC 2016 presidential nominee.

however, she wont win the popular vote and she may not win anything if she goes up against rand paul (who is currently the front runner). rand paul is the only one who would be likely to repeal the super-unpopular unaffordable care act and replace it with nothing (even though that wont be nearly enough to not eat up peoples savings or for 100% market level prices and quality)

and i just know ron paul is determined to see his son become a 2 term president even though ron paul should know by now that the presidency should be abolished and replaced with nothing.

Stuff like this will always keep women away from him:

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested Tuesday that a bill designed to bring women's pay up to the level of men's wages would have created some sort of paycheck Politburo.

Did you see what Huckabee said the other day?

Who gives a huck what fuckabee said. He was taken out of context and his real issue was that women don't need the government meddling in their womanhood. People should be mad at Obamacare and the sane people are.

"...his real issue was that women don't need the government meddling in their womanhood."

Does this mean that Huckabee is going to come out and advocate in favor of fully legalizing abortion and morning-after pills? Is Huckabee going to advocate getting Big Government out of women's Bedrooms?

For those who saw the movie I Heart Huckabees:

It's 3 years away. Schweitzer has the charisma. He ran as a pro socialist health care Democrat and won by 66% of the vote in Montana. Democrats need that.

I love him a lot as well (and Warren) and I hope he runs so that he can be in the VP running. We're less than a year away from candidates starting to declare though.

Hillary will run and she will win. The way it looks now is Hillary vs. Jeb believe it or not. The Democrats will go with Hillary to give her one last shot and the Republicans will go with Jeb because he's not crazy or surrounded by scandals and he could possibly win. The Tea Party will throw a fit and try to get Rand Paul some momentum but it won't last once the voting starts. People will remember the Clinton and Bush eras and vote for Hillary because no one actually knows what the hell Benghazi is, with the Tea Party bitching the whole time about being a race between two Democrats.

At this point, it'll be fun to have Hillary President to piss of the hard right even if she is fairly pro-business.

I am fine with Hillary running, but I am not going to say she is the one until she tells me what she stands for and what she wants to do with the presidency, which so far she hasn't. The time for fun is over. Middle class is on the ropes with all the pro-business fun we've been having in the last 35 years.

Hillary cried and got emotional at a fucking book signing. Females are far too emotional and not nearly logical enough to be leaders of the free world. Especially when our foreign policy involves so many countries where females are not respected. Our foreign policy efforts will take a giant shit if we have a woman in the oval office.

Hillary will be the next president. I'd bet money on it.

2016 is still a long ways away, but at this point I'd say this is true. Hillary is very centrist (or at least more so than Obama), and the GOP can't control their extremist base (who still can't accept that Palin cost them the White House in 2008 ).
If the GOP tries to go to the middle in 2016, it'll probably split the party.

Well, we all complain when government pays for someone else but rarely when it pays for us.

I complain whenever the government spends my money. I also do everything I can to avoid them giving me anything.

Why is the government even involved in people's bedrooms? I promise there are many more important things than my Johnson for them to worry about.

Well then, you're one of the rare ones

The last thing I would ever want government worrying about is your Johnson.

What makes you think Hillary is centrist?

The 1950's are calling, I think they want you back.

Seriously though, John Boehner is more emotional than Hillary and he's the Speaker of the House, and Margaret Thatcher was nick named the Iron Lady. A female President experiencing cramps isn't going to cause us to invade Canada. Clinton was Secretary of the State (basically the office doing most of the foreign policy negotiations) and did a fine job. The only attack on her during that time is Benghazi, which has many debatable causes but none of which was Clinton having a cry party.

Hillary is a lying, killing piece of shit. She will never be president and anyone who thinks she should be, should be questioning their own integrity. What is it about "no more Clintons or Bush's" that some of you don't understand? We don't need more wrinkled skinned old politicians running this country. Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are sheer proof of that! Time for some fresh blood.

Sad and scary are seeing all of those who would support Warren, another no real experience, uber liberal, who exaggerated her heritage to get where she is.

Will be interesting to see who runs, but if Clinton is a contender she will be arguably the most polarizing candidate in our history.
