UNLIMITED GOP 2012 PRIMARY CANDIDATE THREAD

[LMNO]

In case anyone was actually thinking HC's 9-9-9 plan sounded like a good idea, here's this:

In Cain's world, a typical household making more than $2.7 million would pay a smaller share of its income in federal taxes than one making less than $18,000.

I thought I wasn't understanding what I was seeing until I read that quote.  That is scary stupid.

[Triple Zero]

They're just cleaning out the last bits, when the election really starts nobody will want the shit sandwich that's left.

[The Rev]

Nein-Nein-Nein is the way I look at it.

[Phox]

Yeah, when I heard Nine-Nine-Nine, I immediately said No-No-No.

Well, that's good, maybe, anyway.

Bachmann's reaction to the 9-9-9 plan is hysterical http://nation.foxnews.com/herman-cain/2011/10/11/bachmann-goes-after-cains-tax-plan-turn-9-9-9-upside-down

When you take the 999 plan and turn it upside down, the devil is in the details.

she thinks this is the wittiest thing in the world, she's trying not to crack up as she says it.

It's certainly entertainment, which explains the boom-and-bust backlash that's hit every major GOP hopeful so far.  The teabaggers don't want reform, they want entertainment, they want someone to lead the cheers of yahooism and hate that they are just desperate to spew, and when the Next Big Thing comes along, the candidates are given the Britney Spears and left broken on the side of the highway.  Rick Perry is down to 7%, Bachmann is at 1%, and Herman Cain is at 48%, and seems to be having a little pattern recognition trouble.  He honestly thinks he's got it...Just like the others did.

Despite the fact that he was doomed from the beginning. I almost feel sorry for him.

Almost.

[Doktor Howl]

Despite the fact that he was doomed from the beginning. I almost feel sorry for him.

Almost.

He is, like Bachmann and Perry and Spears, naively and vacantly staring at the spotlights, with no concept that the world will turn on him, that those aren't spotlights, they're headlights.  And he will never, ever understand why what's about to happen to him has to happen, just like Britney Spears never understood.

He, like Spears before him, has become convinced that he is The Main Character, and he's just thrilled to discover that America has realized this.

I'd feel bad for him if he wasn't an evil person.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

  If only it weren't for the evil!

[Doktor Howl]

If only it weren't for the evil!

If it wasn't for the evil, he wouldn't be in the situation.  That's the only actual difference between him and Britney Spears.  She wasn't trying to make people starve to death.

[Phox]

Hey.... 999... IS HERMAN CAIN MAXWELL MURDER!?

Phox,
Really wants the truth and can't see it through.
