To be fair, Clinton out-Blacked him.

People take politicians at their word all the time.

Which is rather unfortunate, no matter what your party affiliation is.

Get a clue, people. Left or Right, you're getting screwed, and you're begging for more.

Am I the only one that can't read a Herman Cane headline without singing The Scorpions?

Seemed like a draw at best to me.

ginandbacon: All I know is that is really unfair to have these Cain threads pop up at lunch time because they always make me want a farking pizza and I'm trying to eat more veggies.

So get a pizza piled high with veggies.

The-Brain: Am I the only one that can't read a Herman Cane headline without singing The Scorpions?

I can't read them without (fondly) remembering Bubblegum Crisis.

Wheat is a vegetable and it's the main ingredient of the crust. Tomatoes in the sauce. Cheese comes from cows and cows are vegetarians. Bacon and pepperoni comes from pigs and pigs are vegetarians. I don't think it's possible to eat more veggies than when you are eating pizza.

It hardly takes a feverish effort to discredit this dumbass.

And you are a typical liberal--why address positions on their merit when you can just dismiss your challengers as "stupid?"

It's cheap and it's cowardly.

The problem with the modern GOP is that their positions frequently lack merit precisely because their proponents ARE stupid. Sorry. It's true. Imagine mankind's future hinges on one of the following people grasping a highly technical, complex concept very quickly:

1. Sarah Palin
2. Rick Santorum
3. Herman Cain
4. Rick Perry
5. Michelle Bachmann
6. Bill Clinton
7. G.W. Bush
8. Barrack Obama
9. John McCain
11. Mitt Romney

Pick two: one and a back-up. Be honest. In whose hands do you put humanity if brains are the necessary qualification?

You don't get to take intellect off the table just by saying "it's cheap and it's cowardly." No, it isn't. It's incredibly necessary. Have you ever hired someone for a job? Don't you have a pretty good idea of their intelligence after reading their resume, cover letter and having a short conversation with them? Doesn't it matter how smart they are?

...during the Bush years no comprehensive reform was even proposed, and the issue festered. From 1995 to 2008 health care costs more than doubled.

And then Republicans opposed even the crappy reform we did manage to drag out of them kicking and screaming the whole way and still maintain that they will reverse it as soon as they are in a position to do so.

So, HC asks a question and PBC answers it, then HC says, "your calculations are wrong" and subby and author are all "PBC pwn3d HC in 1994?!?!?"

I don't see it. Like dehehn, I see it as a draw at best... though I will watch the full 8 minutes later

Further, did Clinton suggest a remedy was simply to raise the price of pizza?

We gotta get this Clinton guy in office.

And now for a nice shade of Troll Red to make this shiat easier to miss...

FTFA:Motley mobilized thousands of small businessmen, including "the Guardians" (the NFIB's 40,000 most reliable members), to work their local representatives...

That sounds suspiciously like a communist union full of thugs trying to force America to do their bidding.

Why aren't conservatives against lobbyists? Aren't they essentially a powerful union for executives and big business interests?

Yeah, he's a troll because he made one of your liberal brothers look like an idiot.

They even have a website! I mean, look at that shiat. 999? What total farking loser would believe a skilled business person like Cain would embrace such a blatantly idiotic idea? These trolls must think the voting public are some kind of chumps. They couldn't even be bothered to think up policies for the policy page, they're the laziest farking trolls in existence. "National Security" is just a three paragraph ramble about not abandoning the troops. Someone with as much commercial acumen as Cain would be able to do a concise, detailed description of his steadfast plans, not this drivel.

For those that don't remember, this interchange between President Clinton and Cain pretty much killed support of Clinton's public healthcare proposal.
