The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[cirquelover]

I'd prefer to have real journalism back. I'm tired of infotainment, although I do like that word! " Just give me the facts Ma'am"

[alphabassettgrrl]

I'm tired of infotainment, too. Facts, please.

Real reporting is expensive, and they claim people don't want it anyway, that they get more calls requesting coverage of the meaningless stuff. I don't know that I believe that. I think it's more the expense, and potential for embarrassing their parent corporations.

It's easier to just get your headlines from AP and report on Lindsay Lohan's recent escapades.

Ben Stein is a piece of sh*t.

I like Herman Cain. Of those that have announced their candidacy, he is my favorite by far. Don't like any of the others, really. Only other one that might take over for Cain would be Rick Perry should he get in.

Romney - eh. Gingrich? Blech. Ron Paul? The man is insane. Palin? Nope. Pawlenty - don't know much about. Bachmann? Santorum?

Nah - Cain. I like Cain.

Was curious and this post (from May) was apparently the first mention of Cain on this board. Since Perry did get in, I'm curious if he overtook Cain.

Cain is just another teabagger who wants to give everything to the rich and the corporations at the expense of the vast majority of Americans. He would be a disaster for this country.

[scaeagles]

Not surprisingly, your opinion of him makes me like him even more.

From Wikipedia:

In an interview with Christianity Today, Cain declared he would not consider appointing an individual of Muslim faith to a presidential cabinet or to a federal court. "No, I will not," he said. "And here’s why. There is this creeping attempt, there is this attempt to gradually ease Sharia law and the Muslim faith into our government. It does not belong in our government. This is what happened in Europe. And little by little, to try and be politically correct, they made this little change, they made this little change. And now they’ve got a social problem that they don’t know what to do with hardly."

Full interview as publisehd on Christianity Today. More gems of ridiculous bullsh*t regrading Islam in America in there.

That's exactly what I was thinking!
