mercy, et al:

Those who have lost credibility with me are those who are hypocritical. They are not found only in religious circles, but political ones, social ones, legal ones, technical ones, etc. I have pointed out before that people with strong, inflexible fundamentalist attitudes are the ones most likely to suffer this kind of loss of stature with me. Religious fundamentalists, strict constitutionalists, zero-tolerance advocates, "true believers" in some one true way, these people are expert only in deluding themselves about the real world. It is these people in whom I place little trust.

In other 2012 Republican news:

Cain has suspended his campaign.

Is this a good thing though? Now we won't have Cain to kick around anymore. I mean, who else will we mock for quoting ASH KETCHUM of POKEMON fame?

Srsly?

Herman Cain Exits Race With Admission That He Did Quote Pokémon That One Time

by Frances Martel | 4:08 pm, December 3rd, 2011

Last summer, during one of the several dozen or so Republican debates since the campaign season began, Herman Cain came “under fire” for using a very suspicious poem in his closing statement– one that happened to quote the theme song to Pokémon: The Movie 2000, but that he attributed to “a poet.” And this was the way his campaign ended today, not with a bang, but with a “pika,” finally admitting, “I think these words came from the Pokémon movie.”
SERIOUSLY?

Stunning development! NPR said the words Ron Paul today. The up-tick in Newt's numbers must have scared them.

That's it. Next thing you know, cats and dogs will be living together! What the HELL is going on here?!?!

stop scaring me.

What? no parting shots at Cain for quoting Donna Summer from the Pokemon 2000 Movie?

Scroll on CNN this am:

"Cain is keeping his options open for a media gig"

The Obama Administration couldn't relish the thought of a fight against another black conservative in the race.

ZenGum 12-09-2011 07:11 PM

They'd probably be more afraid of someone competent, though.

Yes, suspended, not ended, this way he can keep collecting federal matching funds for another year.

Just caught 3 minutes of the Republican debate. What a dogfight. Everyone trying to one-up each other.

Candidate 1: I will kill Obama care
Candidate 2: I will kill Obama care and shred the pieces.
Candidate 3: I will travel back in time to insure that there never was an Obama care.
Candidate 1: Candidate 3 is lying. There's no such thing as time travel.
Candidate 3: You're believe that dinosaurs roamed the earth with Jesus and now you're worried about science?

In other news,

Romney has again emphasized how different he is from the rest of us financial mortals. We've heard how he doesn't track NASCAR, but he does have friends who own teams, and other foot-in-mouth comments like this. In a casual moment during a recent interview, he was asked about the future of Peyton Manning. Now, he's not a die hard football fan, but (wait for it, waaaaait for it.....) he has, yes, friends who own football teams. L O L.
Quote:

And then came the Peyton Manning question. "I know you want him somewhere away from New England. Where do you think he ought to go?" Finebaum asked about the star quarterback.

"I don't want him in our neck of the woods, let's put it that way. I don't want him to go to Miami or the Jets," Romney said, laughing, referring to two teams that play the New England Patriots in the American Football Conference's Eastern Division. "I got a lot of good friends -- the owners of the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets -- both owners are friends of mine, but let's keep away from New England so that Tom Brady has a better shot of picking up a championship for us."

Romney didn't mention that Jets owner Woody Johnson is one of his national finance co-chairmen. A very good friend indeed.

The $10,000 bet, the two Cadillacs, the $374,000 in speaking fees that Romney described as "not very much," the NASCAR team owners and now the football team owners -- it is getting hard to keep track of all the times Romney doesn't notice he is casually saying things that are completely outside the experience of regular people.

I predicted this problem wouldn't stop. But it's still amazing that it continues.

Abbreviated headline on CNN: Romney takes Ill., looks to Louisiana.

1) please do, Mittens. Please do take ill. Something that will cost you billions to fix and wipe out all your assets. I hope you have good insurance. ;)

2) can't wait to see Everyman Mitt trying to act all Cajun. Good luck down there, buddy. I'd stay far away from 'the bayou' if I were you. :lol:
