And should I mention that he's a mormon? That is a clear sign of intelligence right there (especially to you, Mike (H) )

Ира, если судить о человеке по парочке тупых выражений, то последующие фразы должны были тебя тоже заинтересовать и вызвать разочарование. Догадайся с первого раза кому они принадлежат?


"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."

"The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries."

"UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? It's the Post Office that's always having problems." –attempting to make the case for government-run healthcare

А при чем тут это? То же самое что спрашивать "когда последний раз democratic nominee был наполовину негром?" в 2008 году.

А по тому , что в стране есть политические реальности или традиции, котортые многие "новые републканцы" не знают : Во первых Республикаскя партия базируется на " реднеках и основная ее база Христиане- протестанты живущие в Южных и Горных Штатах , где и будет решатся Республиканскя Номинация , во вторых Ромни не только выходец с Северо Востока , он еще вдабавок не Христианин.

Romney is leading in the republican polls right now..
Ira, Oleg already made a point.. you can pick phrases from every candidate.. it's prices to watch Obama when teleprompter goes off.

Так и католики - неправильные христиане, однако их мессию - ЖэФэКа - выбрали. Кстати, Жанночка, партия реднеков *с гор и южных морей избрала в президенты голливудского актера, профсоюзного деятеля, к тому же. А это похуже отклонений в христианской вере.

B тот него обещает что когда ое будет президентом, все биллы будут только 3 страницы длиной. *Напоминает мне анекдот: Слесаря вызывали? - Нет. *"Ну

Слесаря вызывали? *Нет. *"Ну и хорошо, а то-б я вам тут ТАКООООООГО наслесарил" :-D

Mike, I'm well aware of this. And it wasn't me who came up with this cute idea. Watch this and then we'll talk : ***********.youtube.com/watch?v=WN5AZsfpH40

Вы вобще представляете любую другую развитую страну где бы кандидат вышел с таким предложеньицем: не фиг длинные биллы делать - я разрешу 3 страницы и баста!!!! (H) Обхохочешься.

Of course, Mike. In every joke there is a part of a joke. He's trying to appeal to the redneck audience who would definitely appreciate the joke. It demonstrates the kind of the voter he's hoping for.

he is trying to counter the current practice of 2000+ pages bills, that nobody reads. Do you think it's acceptable to vote on bills without reading them?

Jokes are VERY telling. The kind of humor, and subject of the joke - tells you volumes.

No, I don't. They have to be left without salary, and locked in a room without permission to leave UNTIL they all read the bill.

Георгий, просто всех кандидатов по старой, доброй американской традиции всегда забрасывают какашками :). Таким образом к выборам выигрывает наименее обкаканый

i have made some good money interpreting some of the current regulations. SOX, HIPPA, MU.. all this other junk the government votes on. It takes MONTHS to figure out what is written in those..
Do you think THAT is acceptable?

все зависит от размера вентилятора и его мощности,и еще не моловажно каличества гомнеца ,вылемаемого на этот вентелятор!только так сегодня можно выбиться в люди!!!

"They have to be left without salary, and locked in a room without permission to leave UNTIL they all read the bill."
В таком случае надо Обаму закрыть на очень долго. И демократично отобрать у него бабло. Он обещал прочитать каждую страницу бюджета. Дело было в далёком 2007 году.

No, I don't. That is a completely different issue, though. The starting point of this particular line was " Вы уже доказали......... докажите теперь что вы не идиоты". На что мой ответ был: хорошо, давайте взглянем на выбор который вы считаете не идиотским. (H)

Ira, huh? again.. 3page bills was clearly a joke, to illustrate a point..
"laughing" is typically a cue for a joke.
Shorter bills are a great point

И вобще, господа, мы ходим по этому кругу очень давно. *Для меня лично это уже не об Обаме (который разочаровал) а об общем идиотизме и беспомощности Ам. политического процесса.

in reality if we were playing fantasy team for Republican nomination...
Romney/Hillary dreamteam

Всё, Обама останется на второй срок. Кадаффи хлопнули, теперь Обама скажет, что лично ему ласты склеил. Как с Осамой было. Не знаю, правда, что он им мешал. Сидел спокойно последние годы, на поводке, в палатке жил..

Neh.. Kaddafi is going to be a 5 day bump (if at all). Osama bumped Obamas ratings for 4 days i think..
Nobody cares about the international issues on the grand scale

OK, Mike. Look at this, this one ain't a joke. ***********.youtube.com/watch?v=0KvZjdEh2k0&feature=related

The guy is a joke himself, a figure-head who has no clue what he's getting himself into.

It's funny how liberals keep callin him Herman "Race Card" Cain... the nerves and hypocrisity of these people is just unparallel..

Ira. so? What's the "expected answer" here? It's easy to put a person on the spot.. "how much you want to cut". He actually handled questioning pretty well.

Cain grew up in Georgia[20] and graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics.
Accepted for graduate studies at Purdue, Cain received a Masters in computer science there in 1971,[21] while he also worked full-time in ballistics for the U.S. Department of the Navy.[22

The "expected answer" is that I, as a voter, expect him to be intimately (not vaguely) familiar with the issues of crucial importance to the nation BEFORE he is the president. And if the issue of national debt is not so important to him, I don't know what is. And his approach " I WILL investigate it later and I will surround myself with advisers who will tell me what to do. How radically innovative!!! And we are supposed to elect you because.......... (fill in the blanks).

Ira, the point is he is not "stupid".. he is just not a politician.. hence his answers are not very polished.

And again: what exactly qualifies him to be in the position to ask you for your vote?

I like (for a change) that he can say "I was wrong when i said that", i like his 999 plan (maybe with some tweaks), some other aspects of his platform.
In general, I would take either him or Romney over Obama. I would LOVE to see Chris Christie run, or Ron Paul to get some support behind him.
But if this is all we got... oh well :)

Ron Paul is a different story. Now, why do you think he isn't getting enough support?

Ira, because he has too much common sense, and does not change his beliefs как перчатки.

......which brings us back to the идиотизм и беспомощность ам. полит. процесса. Amen to that *(H)

well.. we can't change that.. but we can kick Obama out.. (praise be the lord) ;-)

Sure, let's just wait and see what Cain does when he gets to the White House and, hopefully, familiarize himself with the issues. Good luck to all of us.

Ira, btw.. i thought the "tea party" were a bunch of racists, how do they support Cain now?

Ira, if you are disenchanted with Obama, what's wrong with Cain, he is independent & smart. He has real ideas and he is not part of traditional republican establishment. If exactly the same guy was running on democratic ticket, I would cross the party line. Why wouldn't you?
