I'm with you Nick. I know some folks who know Maher and all consider him and a#(. However, I too chuckled at this one.
John G is probalby correct. As a California conservative, I use my donations for other state's races (my state is a lost cause). I gave money to Scott Brown last time, but wil not again. I had hoped he would fight for those who helped him get elected, but not surprisingly, he stood by his natural borne positions. I certainly which him luck against the communist Warren, but will not financially support him this round.
I hear you on the gripe. I don't normally comment on such (by the way, the same types of comments appear on Huffington, etc., so it seems persons of all political backgrounds like to gripe about other's mistakes), but since the same error was made twice, and because I was somewhat in a smarta@@ mood... (I also confess that I'm a horrible speller for someone with a post-college degree.) I'm certainly not a birther and suspect that Obama's produced birth certificate is real; however, he could have produced it years ago and avoided much of this. Sure, not all Fed Chairmen should run for President. But you cannot deny that Cain has more relevant experience than Obama--well I guess you can, but anyone who knows both of their backgrounds would likely agree that Cain is more qualified. Further, its my opinion that Cain's lack of holding a prior office is a plus. I'm sick of both Democrats and Republican career politicians, as they do not care about the everyday person for the most part. I was born a Santa Cruz, CA liberal Democrat and I've seen how career progressive politicians have destroyed my beloved California.
Why not just appoint a King. The lack of respect for the tripartite system that made our country so great is astounding.
cdub--I don't normally comment with negatives towards others, especially because we all make typographical errors, but I think you used "loose" when you meant "lose." For that matter, I think you meant to refer to us conservatives as "losers" not "loosers." As an ignorant Tea Party person myself [sarc], I'm glad I could correct your spelling issues. Also, Mr. Cain is much more than talking points. He has headed up large, successful businesses, and clearly his work at the Fed shows he has the financial background to understand and run the government (something President Obama cannot claim for himself). There's no reason to hate on Cain or his supporters, just because he doesn't fit with the Progressive theme and talking points.
Interesting...I would think the Dems would delay, hoping that Kennedy retires and they appoint a new Justice and switch the majority. It's scary thinking that 4 of 9 of our Supreme Court Justices are expected to find a way to justify a law that is patently unconstitutional.
I am (again) very embarrassed for my Californnia. The replacement babysitter every 2 hours is ridiculous. You'd have to line up 2 babysitters just to get dinner and movie with your spouse. I wonder if the babysitter's boyfriend (or friends) that show up after the adults leave counts towards a second person to provide the babysitter with a break? Not to mention, once the kids go to sleep at 8, does the babysitter really need a break from watching TV, texting, talking to friends on the phone (and likely going through all of my drawers, etc.)?
It truly is crazy how anyone can fight the concept that you must prove (1) your idenity and (2) citizenship to vote.
Born in California and now 45+ years in that state and I agree. Do not let the Feds bail out my state.
Which is why the GOP better run a real conservative if they want independent votes like those in my family.
