Amazing how much airtime was given to the clowns.

It is a sad reflection on the 21st century iteration of the GOP that most of the field are clowns...and that so many people out there are circus-goers.

I have only seen this guy on TV several times... what an airhead. Is there NOone in US politics that is sane besides Obama?

Again, I still believe Obama is a puppet of the rich... just the way it is.

As for Mitt and Newt... that's right... I do not condsider them sane. They might be coherent but "truly sane"? as it relates to human rights and tolerance... no.

Don't you mean lying low or lieing low?

There are three relevant verbs - to lay (what a chicken does to an egg) which is transitive and requires an object - to lie (ie to recline) which is intransitive and does not require an object - and of course to lie as in to utter a terminological inexactitude which is commonplace in politics.

Someone's gonna have to step up and provide the comic relief. Shouldn't be a problem. Interestingly, the only one of them that doesn't qualify as a clown but probably would qualify to be prez, John Huntsman, barely gets noticed.

Huntsman looks good only by comparison with the ultra-clowns.

You CAN do, but you'd lose your money. Names, please.

[Cain] speaks for God? AND lays that on the voters?

What's the problem? Dumbya Bush spoke for God all the time.

As for Mitt and Newt... that's right... I do not condsider them sane. They might be coherent...

The very last thing Newt is, is coherent. Click Here
As for Mitt, he's either the Vicar of Bray or he doesn't know WHAT he thinks.

I think gnu may have a point about the return of Sarah....A la Eva Peron......."Dont cry for me, America.....You know I never left you"

María Eva Duarte de Perón was a lot smarter. But she was the same sort of slimy character. Fortunately, the world hasn't had to deal with HER sincee 1952.

Maybe Sara should marry a tinpot fascist military dictator as a way to the "top".

Many "loved" Pol Pot as well.

Guest...You don't shoot the messenger.
If you want to live under a Capitalist system, dont complain when they try to make it work efficiently.

The crumbs only trickle down whwen the machine is producing the goods....no matter if its on borrowed money or stolen skills and resources.
Both parties are tied to the system, they are obliged to keep it alive; to keep it alive it must keep growing.

It has stopped growing ind it aint gonna start again anytime soon.
It is an "Ex parrot", but both Dems and Pubs will tell you it lives and breaths.
Very soon its feathers will fall off and the corpse will be exposed.

We in the UK and in the US need an inspirational leader, not a monkey on a stick.

Oh and it needs to be a woman so dont mention Hillary the Hawk.

Awww, dang! Is the Cain soap opera really done? What are we gonna do for laughs now? Who can we find to fill those shoes?

A thought here, though...

"God has forgiven me, why can't you?" is actually a completely viable point of view in a spiritual sense...if you really mean it...but it WON'T get you anywhere in politics, because the average public out there is about as forgiving as the Gestapo when it comes right down to it! ;-) They long to accuse and destroy those whom they dislike upon any handy excuse. They hold grudges. They seek revenge. They want to get even. Ask them to forgive you, and they will leap on you like a pack of hungry wolves. And they will feel quite justified in doing so too.

It's not such a nice scene out there, specially in the field of politics. That's why it's not a profession I would ever dream of entering. Anyone who does had better understand what they're getting themselves into, and they'd better have a skin like a rhinoceros.
