Stupid Republican idea of the day

So, less than 2 years of SS benefits is enough to put one through college and other living expenses (food, clothing, shelter)?

If he went to college directly from high school, which it looks like he did, he would have received SS benefits through, I think, age 23. Maybe they just forgot to mention that part?

You know the Republican Party has lost the plot when even Pat Robertson thinks they’ve skewed too far to the right.

I liked this bit:

He concludes, “if they want to lose, well this is the game for losers.”

Hell, I want them to lose. They should keep on keepin’ on…

The thing is, I don’t think the GOP has skewed to the right. I think it’s more accurate to say that the moderates have left and/or been thrown out, leaving behind the extreme right in charge.

I often think I risk one-trick-pony status by mentioning/referencing the Dead in any post that tangentially relates.

But as much as I appreciate the quip, I have no idea what you’re referring to.

Three jobs?!? When’s the poor kid supposed to go to class? Or study? Or, you know, sleep? :mad: :mad: :mad:

I believe in paying your dues and all that, but this is ridiculous. :mad:

I hear that. Indentured servitude would be easier.

Ssshhhh! That’s the *long term *plan – it’s too early to unveil that one.

You know, those kinds of public remarks may very well end up in your permanent record. Sort of thing that suggests you’re not a team player. Not the right sort, you understand.

Oh, they’ve skewed to the right all right. Reagan,who was relatively extreme, would now be a moderate and a RINO.

Well, the real Reagan, as opposed to St. Ronaldus Magnus, which is the version they worship.

Hush. If students learn anything they’ll become Democrats.

He’s worried that China might try to develop nukes, and we’d better keep an eye on it:

In an interview with Judy Woodruff, about half way down the column (it doesn’t want me to cut and paste, for some reason).
It is reliably reported that China has had nukes since 1964 or thereabouts…
His ignorance really is appalling. Or maybe he’s gonna use the secret Presidential Time Twister/decoder ring…

Here’s the relevant quote in the part where they are discussing China as a military threat:

Cain: So yes they’re a military threat. They’ve indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability and they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have. So yes, we have to consider them a military threat.

Wow. I sure hope China does not develop nuclear capability. :rolleyes:

15 seconds on wikipedia Gave me this

China is estimated by the Federation of American Scientists to have an arsenal of about 180 active nuclear weapon warheads and 240 total warheads as of 2009
China is one of the five “nuclear weapons states” (NWS) under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which China ratified in 1992. China is the only NWS to give a security assurance to non-nuclear-weapon states:

China undertakes not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones at any time or under any circumstances.

Chinese public policy has always been one of the “no first use rule” while maintaining a deterrent retaliatory force targeted for countervalue targets.

Thank you, most Euphonius one, for the backup cites. It is most appreciated.

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

Maybe he confused China with Kreblekiblekiblekistan.

Any truth to the rumor than Cain’s top defense priority is for the US to develop nuclear capability?
