New Pawlenty 2012 slogan: “It’s either me or Romney.”
You can use dental floss as a garrote when murdering a goldfish.
I forget who Cain was in the Bible; was he the one who lied about chopping down the cherry tree?
Gingrich is touting his status as an outsider, but being an outsider to conservatism isn’t really helpful in a GOP primary.
Random thought: New Pawlenty motto: “Sigh. Yeah, I guess.”
Random thought: While on my way to the Pennsylvania Monument at Gettysburg yesterday, I saw a black lady driving a car with a “Proud Maryland Democrat” bumper sticker and a Pennsylvania license plate. I may or may not have flown into a rage about fleeing from taxes to vote for more taxes and also totally forgetting what my great-great grandfather and thousands of others fought for on the fields outside of the town.
Random thought: The Democrats – From the Party of Winfield Hancock to the Party of Jihadis for Change.
Frank, please moderate my comment. I did not know WordPress hated Union Army generals.
Cain killed his brother Able out of jealousy after Able sacrificed a ram to God but all Cain had for an offering was pizza.
Pawlenty?
Pawlease.
The name just doesn’t sound Pawsidential. And wasn’t he born in St. Pawl?
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!
MarkoMancuso:
I don’t understand the problem. Pennsylvania Democrat who votes in multiple states? Happens all the time. Don’t get so worked up.
You know, since Herman CAIN announced his candidacy, I’ve started to forget all about Sarah Pawlin.
That’s a really good line about Newt. These days he reminds me more of Obama than anyone else. They both say really stupid things, then wonder why everyone gets mad at them.
Pennsylvania Democrat: Just as socialist, but with twice the crabs.
Maryland Democrat: Less scratching, but unusually high concentration of crab juices in drool.
I saw a lady yesterday with a Herman tattoo. It wasn’t Herman Cain though, it was Herman Munster.
Marko They are also the party of “Moochers for Food stamps”
Gingrich sure blew up himself in a hurry. Lets hope Mitt Romney gets off to a similar start.
Cain is Able!
West is Best!
Their campaign song could be ACDC “Back in Black”.
I bet a goldfish with a dental floss garrote can take out a Pennsylvania democat.
Newt must be seeking campaign advice from those Iraqi splodey guys. Same effect.
Jimmy –
Pawlenty’s name is probably pronounced “pahvlentee” in Polish.
I ain’t votin’ for a Herman! I don’t care who he is, the name sucks! TPaw or Romnzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! C’mon!!! We need someone who give us a boner! Right now I’m with Butters, my weener is pulling a “scared turtle”!
@Marko: Pennsylvania wasn’t ‘ephing around when they build that memorial.
Hey, give the guy a chance. Pawlenty denounced ethanol subsidies while standing in an Iowa cornfield. Mitt would have told us how his ethanol subsidy plan in Massachusetts was better than the federal plan.
What’s your secret, Frank? I tied little pieces of toothpicks to the ends of the floss to give me a better grip, but those cagey goldfish keep slipping out.
Blast: That should have been “built that memorial.”
Typo, thy name art Burmashave.
Get your head out of your pants, ussjimmycarter.
DamnCat,
I can’t understand why God wouldn’t want the pizza instead of the ram. Ram is so gamey.
No, we weren’t, Burma. The builders most likely took one look across those fields and understood that the memorial wouldn’t bring forth even a tenth as powerful an emotion as one gets just from looking at the grass and ridgelines out to the west – because that’s where our men offered forth everything they had for freedom, for themselves, and for their brothers. But, being good designers, the builders did a fine job anyway.
By the way, what I appreciate most about Cemetery Ridge is that over its rise I cannot see the McDonald’s and General Picket’s Buffet on the other side.
And, lest I forget, I’d love for someone in the NPS to let common people take care of the memorial. Nice to see the names of our Keystone veterans covered in the elements and dust. Sigh.
Cain was the one that set the bush on fire, then pulled the fire alarm.
Carolyn,
I don’t get it either – He’s God – he could have tuna!
“Gingrich is touting his status as an outsider…”
…which begs the question, If even Gingrich is an “outsider,” what more would someone have to do to be considered an “insider?”
Over at the AoSHQ they’ve got a straw poll up on preferred Presidential candidates. (Ron Paul is excluded to keep the Paulbots from trying to game the system, as always.) Palin is leading at 32%, with Cain and Pawlenty next at 26% and 25% repectively. No one else is above like 5 or 6%. Heh, Newt has 4 votes out of 2,700.
So, the super right wing conservative base likes Palin, Cain, and Pawlenty, and hates Romney, Newt, Huntsman, Santorum, and Gary Johnson. And really hates Ron Paul.
While I would vote for Palin over the current guy, I must say that Cain has a significant advantage in that he is not a celebrity.
Also, it is interesting that many conservatives, presumably Palin supporters, at large blogs such as Hot Air are so staunchly opposed to Cain on the basis of his foreign policy weakness. It is a hole, and I believe Cain has much to improve upon, but out of the current bunch of nincompoops, the best “foreign policy candidate” is Huntsman. I’d rather be boiled in oil than vote for that guy.
Amen Marko, huntsman is mccain light.
Palin does not have any foreign relations experience either. So Cain is just as good. And a poke in the eye is better than Sasquatch’s husband.
The only reason to pick Palin over Cain is she is easier on the eye. And if you are a narcissistic as the current whack job, I would rather look at Palin for four years than Herman.
I had pawlenty of romney last time around.
On this CAIN “right of return” gaff thing, my first thought was “Red, Right, Returning” which, of course, is a nautical phrase used in navigation. It would make a good campaign slogan, too.
“Red, Right, Returning”
Red: Republican
Right: Conservative
Returning: As in returning to power and to the principles in our Constitution
Huntsman would be worse than McCain. I can’t say he is worse because there’s no Huntsman-Kennedy or Huntsman-Feingold.
Palin or Bachman are boner material. That’s good enough for me!
USSJC- You’re certainly not the typical 200 sailors went out to sea and came back as 100 couples. Either you’re 13 or doing Jello shots with Viagra chasers.
I guess if I bring up the whole “mark of CAIN” it will be pearls before bacon producers.
Ernie Loco:
I like that AoSHQ poll. Need to wander over there tonight.
Suppose the GOP ticket was any two of those three. While I gots my preference, I could live with 2 of those 3.
Ussjimmycarter, your wife called. I think she has a bone to pick with you.
Iowa Jim: “Pawlenty’s name is probably pronounced “pahvlentee” in Polish.”
Is there a Polish joke in there somewhere? Do we even do Polish jokes at IMAO?
Jimmy –
Pawlenty’s surname is Polish, hence the reference to its pronunciation in Polish. My surname (plus the letter that my father removed) is also Polish, so we don’t do Polish jokes at IMAO.
Q: Why wasn’t Christ born in Poland?
A: Because they couldn’t find three wisemen and a virgin.
But we do do Irish jokes, Iowa Jim. I know that because Frank sets the standard on those. I mean, he’s only marginally good at it since he’s a half-baked potato, himself.
A guy walks into a store and orders a pepperoni pizza. The owner asks him if he`s Polish. The man becomes quite upset and indignantly says that he is. “Why did you ask if I was Polish and not Greek, or Russian?” He said angrily. The owner says, “Because this is a hardware store!”
Election 2012
Cain versus Un-Able
Obama is pronounced “O’bama” in his mother tongue : Irish.
Now that he’s in touch with his Irish-ish-ness ,
he’ll be all about Guinness, playing golf,
picking unnecessary fights …
The Polish were getting really pissed off about people telling all these Pollack jokes so they decided to stage a march on Washington. When last heard from they were 10 miles out of Seattle. (Sorry, Iowa Jim, Son of Bob made me do it.)
Q: Why does the new Polish navy have glass bottom boats?
A: So they can see the old Polish navy.
All the Polish jokes I know involve gestures, so don’t translate well into type. Sorry.
