Quote:Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney broke with many in his party on Friday when he said he believes humans have contributed to global warming. "I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," said at a New Hampshire town hall meeting, according to Reuters. There is widespread consensus within the scientific community that the earth warming and that human beings are at least partially responsible. But many Republicans dispute that conclusion, including Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the top Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Inhofe has suggested that global warming is a hoax that "started in the United Nations and the ones in the United States who really grab a hold of this is the Hollywood elite." Romney reportedly said Friday that he believed the United States as well as foreign nations need to "reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases," saying they "may be significant contributors" to climate change. As Reuters notes, one of 2012 GOP Romney's rivals, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, said last week that the push to address climate change is "the newest excuse to take control of lives" by "left-wing intellectuals." Gingrich had previously suggested that "our country must take action on climate change." Gingrich is not the only Republican presidential contender to shift on climate change issues. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman said in 2007 that "it's time for Congress to act by capping greenhouse gas pollution," but he now says it isn't the time to address the issue. And former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has backed off his previous support for cap-and-trade energy legislation, saying he had been wrong in once calling for a cap on carbon emissions.

Quote:CAIN: We don’t need to rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America, we need to reread the Constitution and enforce the Constitution. … And I know that there are some people that are not going to do that, so for the benefit of those who are not going to read it because they don’t want us to go by the Constitution, there’s a little section in there that talks about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” You know, those ideals that we live by, we believe in, your parents believed in, they instilled in you. When you get to the part about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” don’t stop there, keep reading. Cause that’s when it says “when any form of government becomes destructive of those ideals, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.” We’ve got some altering and some abolishing to do!

If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

It's simply sad when you vilify a truly great American while backing the most inept, inexperienced and worthless pos man to hold the office of President since Jimmy Carter.

Let's start with his policy on Israel and the Palestinians. http://thinkprogress.org/security/2011/05/22/168582/herman-cain-right-of-return/ That is, if he can even figure out what his policy IS on the Palestinians. What's his policy on Afghanistan? http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/herman-cain-elect-me-then-ill-tell-you-what-i-think-about-foreign-policy/ His foreign policy flubs are numerous, and he's just a complete and total trainwreck on the issue, and claims we're not worthy of knowing his policies until AFTER we elect him. Sorry, but that doesn't engender confidence. "Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservatives." - John Stuart Mill

Quote: Well, he SAYS he wants to "discuss" things in a rational manner, but if he can't even get past his own lies and irrational behavior, how does he ever expect to partake of a real discussion?
Quote: Storymark - Palin was and IS right. Much to the chagrin of the historians
