The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.
More like gunshot-I can't imagine any other appropriate punishment for a pun that bad.
Is that cake frosting?
I have never heard of Herman Cain before now, but I really hope he becomes the Republican candidate. Because then I could make "Herman Cain, Hero of the IMPERIUM!" jokes.
But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.
Yeah, he should be Cained.
Maybe Herman Cain should get with it and start fighting the Tzeentch Cults which are so obviously responsible for the Al-Qaeda, the Somali Pirates, and the new Face Book. Remember? God of Xanatos Roulette's.

Cain is a local from Omaha, NE no less. The man is corporate tool bag.
Who watches the watchmen?
You think he works for the despicable Koch Brothers?
In spirit if not in practice.

Does everything have to boil down to the Koch Brothers? I think it dehumanizes the depth of individuals to just assume they're all bought and paid for by singular entities. Most people are made up of a complex ball of multiple loyalties, half of which partially conflict with the other half.
Furthermore, I think Guantanamo must be destroyed.
In my opinion, the Koches are both complete monsters, not much more to dehumanize there.
Oh, tired, so forgot to read the rest: I think they are just a blanket name I use when I mean ludicrously powerful businessmen.

"Dawp Koch Brothers" is a simplification of the complex dynamics of political reality.
But you know what else is a simplification of complex dynamics? Economics.

I think people are perfectly capable of playing corporate whore without the influence of shady hedge funds. Hanlon's Razor and all that.
^Yeah, it's so depressing. Even professional economists seem to barely know what they're doing. I guess part of the problem is that no matter what you do, hundreds of billions of dollars are riding on you failing.

You know who else had a simplistic ideology? Hitler!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Cain really isn't a serious candidate. As far as I'm aware, he has no actual policy positions (not counting stances on "litmus-test" issues that are perceived as binary choices).
Currently taking a break from the site. See my user page for more information.

Well my dad's an economist too though he ended up in public health.

While telling people to reread the constitution, Cain himself got it mixed up with the Declaration of Independence.

You seem to see that a lot with Tea Party types.
Seriously? You people still think that the Deep South is like that?
It's not the 1950's anymore!

Vague necro attack!
Seriously, whose side are you arguing against? There's a couple of different opinions been tossed around here regarding the Deep South and who they would vote for.

You seem to see that a lot with people who have internalized their history education but aren't careful about arguing. USAF did it just a couple of days ago. And anyway, the Declaration of Independence is pretty important for people of an originalist bent to pay attention to - and Herman Cain managed to internalize his knowledge past the paragraph about self-evident truths, which probably beats most politicians. I'd like to pop Phil Hare a quiz on that, for instance.
I still like Huntsman best, but I guess he's doomed by the Arbitrary Media Consensus on "Serious Candidates". Cain is a decent second choice.
PS: The subject line says "2011".
Hail Martin Septim!
Violence Is Necessary!
I just hope Cain is seen for being a dumbass and unfit to run this nation (like any of his fellow Teasucking Shitheads) while there's still time...
I don't want this guy anywhere near our hurting economy with his corporatist BS.

Just to find somewhere to say this:
Apparently, he is in trouble for not one, but two things now:
A squicky sexual harassment scandal involving groping women while complementing their height or something.
And how he made a gaffe on the subject of foreign politics, saying about Ubeki Beki Beki Stan Stan, making fun of naming conventions in the Middle East and insulting Uzbekistan.
This man should never become president.
This foreboding is fa...
Please tell me someone's pointed out the election is actually in 2012.
I only wish Cain had actually made an announcement for a 2011 run, because that would have been hilarious.
Oh well, the OP still provided some amusement with an incorrect thread.
Look, you can't make me speak in a logical, coherent, intelligent bananna.
Alright, Herman Cain, then where is your brother right now?
