If only Reagan were alive to point out how little...
He raised taxes.
He ran deficits.
He compromised.
Really it would be so awesome if Reagan appeared at a GOP debate and said “you know nothing of my work” the way the Marshal McCluhan appeared in Annie Hall to discredit the guy behind Woody Allen in line.
Jeez, there’s more clapping at the State of the Union than at the start of Colbert. Did Congress install an applause sign?

But given the definition of Santorum, wouldn’t it be more appropriate if he won by 66. Think about it.

Herman Cain says he doesn't need to read up on...
Herman Cain denied his lack of policy knowledge (or preparation) should keep him from being a great president. He answers his critics by saying
“We need a leader, not a reader.”*
And then added
In these troubled times
all policies should be rhymes.
America will be fine
once Herman Cain implements 9-9-9.
No, 9-9-9 isn’t crazy,
it’s that poor people are lazy.

So many questions:
More debates from Perry? Has he forgotten what happened in all the previous debates?
Is Nancy Pelosi running in the Republican primary?
Is Perry thinking about running for congress?
Does he think Pelosi is still the Speaker?
If he’s going to debate a Democrat, wouldn’t challenging Obama make more sense?
Has he sobered up?
