Raising Cain

Posted By david elosser

Any Herman Cain supporters out there? I like the guy, he seems to have none of the political (or personal history) baggage that the other contenders have, and he definately has intelligence and experience. He is doing well in the polls now, he seems to be surviving the slug-fest better than the rest. But his popularity might be the usual anti-Washington ferver, destined to fade as so many "outsiders" have in the past. Could Cain beat Obama? Sure he could.

Nuts on the rise!

Posted By david elosser

Look out Rod Kaufman, the price of peanut butter is about to go up! Kraft, ConAgra and J.M. Smucker peanut butter products are going up as much as 20-40%! The reason??? Glad you asked Rod, it the OIL SPECULATORS! That's right! The oil speculators have invaded the peanut butter futures market and they're running the price up something awful. (There's oil in peanut butter, remember?) Call your congressmen! We've got to stop this madness! First the speculators drive up the price of oil, and now peanut butter. What's next? Toilet paper???

Wow! This is so dammd predictable!

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2011/11/02/third-former-cain-employee-claims-she-was-harassed-by-gop-candidate/

"She was located and approached by the AP as part of its investigation into harassment complaints against Cain"

Uh huh. Uh huh.

"The woman spoke only on condition of anonymity, saying she feared retaliation..."

Uh huh. Uh huh. Getting better.


"She did not file a formal complaint..."

Uh huh, Uh huh. Pulling out all the stops here folks...

"Afterward, she learned that a co-worker — one of the two women whose accusations have rocked Cain’s campaign this week — had already done so. She said she would have had to file if they hadn’t."

Un huh. Uh huh. Damn those other two would have to file their complaints before she could, ruining all her chances for justice! Well honey, ya snooze ya looze. wink

Millions lose their health care

Posted By david elosser

Okay, so the Congressional Budget Office got it wrong for once. They predicted that once [SIZE="Large"]ø[/SIZE]bamacare was passed, 6 million more people would have employer-sponsered health insurance by now. But instead 4.5 million have lost their employer-sponsered health care coverage. In fact, the percentage of the population that is uninsured according to Gallup has risen from 14.6% to 17.3%. But, hey, whose counting anyway? No one's paying attention to that health care stuff anyway, are they? I mean, the allegded sexual exploits of the Republican candadites for president are far more interesting, right?

How to get an easy half-billion dollar$

Posted By david elosser

Just be the Spendocrat's top donor, and get money to provide 1.7 million doses of an expensive vaccine for a disease that no longer exists and charge the taxpayers 85 times the actual cost over the vaccine we already have. According to the LA-Times:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-smallpox-20111113,0,4293298.story

Well, I guess Iraq did have gallons of smallpox in their huge stockpile of weapons of mass destruction that we found after we invaded, right?

How Obama creates jobs:

Posted By david elosser

By keeping people on the unemployment lines. No kidding.

"However many jobs might be generated by a Keystone pipeline,"[Obama] said, "they're going to be a lot fewer than the jobs that are created by extending the payroll tax cut and extending unemployment insurance."
