The latest reason is that Cain says the People’s Republic of China has “indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability.”
(Shame on Judy Woodruff for not pointing out that he’s just a wee bit behind the times.)
Feel free to add your favorites.
“Ya’ll were supposed to applaud.”
That fabulous shit-eating grin he sports at the end of the cigarette smoking man ad.
I heard that he murdered Abel.
Not that I like the guy - but I’m pretty sure(from the rest of the interview) that he meant that China was developing nuclear powered submarines.
He said develop nuclear capabilities - not create nuclear weapons.
Here’s the quote so you can judge for yourself:
I don’t see how you can parse this as “China wants to develop nuclear powered submarines”.
ETA: Actually, China already has Nuclear Subs
He knows something about a secret extraterrestrial conspiracy? No way I’m voting for him then.
I can chalk that one up to a slip of the tongue. Sort of along the lines of Obama’s famous “57 states” slip.
The abortion thing was the craziest, IMO. Crazy in a “not being able to communicate properly” sense. It should be illegal, but it’s up to the family. And he was given multiple times to explain it, only to confuse the listener even more.
I sure hope this thread won’t become as long as the Stupid Republican Idea one. Don’t make threads with 3.700 posts (and counting) ! You and I didn’t have time to read it. We’re too busy trying to *live *— send our kids to school. That’s why I am only going to allow small threads. Three pages. You’ll have time to read that one over the dinner table.
Oh man, he’s gonna flip a shit when he finds out Pakistan already has nukes.
And he’s running for PRESIDENT?
Just don’t ask him who is the president of Uzbeki-beki-beki-stan!
Man, I hope he gets the nomination.
…or whether they have first strike capability.
He was CEO of Godfather’s Pizza.
Godfather’s pizza does and always has sucked.
They’ve been around since the 80s yet were always content to be a sub-par pizza chain that never grew or expanded but simply were content with exsisting as-is.
Under Cain there was no massive expansion, no growth, no nothing.
That should be his motto for his campaign: I’d be content to keep the U.S. as-is.
His 9-9-9 plan ironically enough doesn’t just completely slash taxes on the rich, but it also raises taxes on the poor. Depressingly republican, really.
Switching to a 9% flat tax would be anything but business as usual.
That would be true, if he had a prayer of getting it through Congress.
But since he doesn’t, and even he isn’t crazy enough to think he does, same ol’ same ol’.
I think Cain’s got too many negatives to really have a shot at the nomination. Yes, he’s flouting conventional wisdom already by his popularity in the polls, but I just can’t see that continuing.
I have to believe that in a few months he’s going to be a footnote.
Let’s not forget the financial scandal brewing where he “forgot” to mention some of his income sources.
OK, this may be old news to most of y’all, but:
Cain said that, if a Constitutional amendment to ban abortion came to his desk, he’d sign it. That signature might be worth something on eBay, but it wouldn’t have any other effect, since the President does not in fact play any role in Constitutional amendments… perhaps he should take a civics class.
