They are simple for the simple. With my conservative white as rice truck driver hat on: They use double spaced lines and 5 word sentances. They use rants so they can compensat for what little intelligence they have. They use general terms in two dimentional form, so ti will be easy for the simple ones to understand. They waist no time thinking, because for them there is no need to think, it's god's will. They stick togeather well and suck up to the money people well. They obey their base well, and will sell out the USA for cheap, giving the corprations a good price on their lobby and campain investment. They will appoint whoever their base tells them to. They only listen to their base and if you don't pay them enough they can't here you. With my liberal peace and education hat on: The democrats to the same things; However there are some small differences. Democrats usualy come from poor or semi privilaged culture. And have often served the USA in different capacities. And they are more intelligent, so they have a hard time understanding that there are a lot of stupid Americans they are trying to convince. They have a different base and will sell out the taxpayer to get re-elected just like the conservatives. They all do the same stuff with the sam motiviations for self and self wealth. SO, there is not much difference between any politician. Just depends on how much money they can raise, and how nice they pay off the broadcast media to exploit them.
If Herman Cain gets the nomination, I heard of a great bumber sticker for him against obama. It is.... "Cain vs Un-Able"
I haven't seen much yet. Mainly they're still attacking each other and throwing in some anti-Obama rhetoric when they can. I think once they pick someone, they'll figure out how to attack and Obama offers a target-rich campaign environment. In the meantime, they need to just hope that the economy doesn't continue to show signs of improvement and unemployment stays where it's at. I doubt that's much of a worry but if the economy does manage to improve, that's a real game-changer.
Kucinich, Paul, and I'll go with Nader. Though there are certainly a few more. I take it by the tone of your e-mail that you are going to somehow argue that these individuals are coporate sell-outs and just like the rest? Proving that would be a test. My bet is you'll just be resorting to the "they are irrelevant and crazy" argument.
Sorry Luna, just looked at some of your other posts, perhaps I misread your tone when I got on the defensive there
I'll put an answer into a somewhat intelligent argument. Romney is being Romney..while some disprove..he stays near the top. The others scramble trying to cover mistakes in wording and in positions. Ask Cain about his Muslims hired in his administration comment..sorry ..a smart guy disqualified himself. Ask Newt about his corruption as Speaker and how he cheated and prosecuted Clinton while doing it.. A Clever guy caught and disqualified. Ask Perry about his immigration policy..his so called job creation..eminent domain..A Texan guy caught being a Texan. Ask Paul about Texas Shrimp promoting..HIS money influence for votes ( ear marks ) and about his lame terrorist remarks. A Texas libertarian caught being a Texas libertarian. Ask Huntsman where his wealth came from and how diverse his state is.. Ask Johnson how many illegals live in his state. Ask Bachmann where any support outside IOWA is. Santorum ask who will vote for him anywhere. Palin ? Christie ? waffle more than pancakes about getting in..or out. Who is showing you leadership ? Even if you disagree with him..He isn't making mistakes.. Kinda refreshing say the least. Compare Romney with Obama ?? Romney in 2012.
Great post overall but obviously you're a Romney fan - you said nothing about RomneyCare. Still, of the GOP pack, he and Cain are the only ones who would win my vote over Obama.
I think they are continuing their ways of drilling down America to the lowest common denominator. Nixon was probably the last Republican who didn't pander to the malcontents.
Romney care was in Mass. for Mass. 5 years in debate..No corruption..no lies ..no cheating.They loved it.. Romney was Governor of Mass. They got what they wanted... Now the rest of us get what we want. Obama joining the unemployed Democrats.
Oh I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it at all. I'm saying it could hurt him with the ConservaRepubs.
My impressions are: They are big on lies and fear. The right wing is trying very hard harm the country with things like the debt ceiling manufactured crisis and blocking actions to help job creation. They are trying very hard to make you fear that democrats are socialists out to destroy the american way of life. Even with the hard economic times, this is not working as well as the previous republican fear mongers that terrorists were going to wipe out your family.
Thread update: Cain plays race card against Perry.. Add The Muslim comment and we get someone who probably shouldn't be president. 9.9.9. Fine for Pizza promotion.
