Whatever goes wrong in this situation will obviously be the fault of Bush.

If you have legally filed your taxes every year, what are you hiding?

Doesnt matter if candidate has strong moral compass.  The "machine" will make the allegation (plant the seed) and the low info voters will accept it.  AKA- Harry Reid saying, on the Senate floor  he "heard" that Mitt Romney hadnt paid taxes in 10 years.  My guess is that, considering the way the IRS operates, it is highly likely Mr. Reid had already seen all of Mr. Romneys returns.  If he didnt, it really doesnt matter because he knew he was being disingenuos when he said it. 

The answer is simple.  Promise lots of free stuff. It works every time

:D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

I wonder if the integrity laden Harry Reid will get on the Senate floor and pronounce this circumstance to also be a lie?

Would you mind disclosing to me the name of the college made up of predominantly conservative professors?  If you dont care to put it on the forum, please PM me

The left believes it knows better what is good for you than you do.

bullets, if you want to go tit for tat regarding sexual scandals, I stand ready to accommodate.

If Ben Carson becomes much of a realistic potential candidate, he will "very suddenly" be "exposed" for having had an affair or killed a patient intentionally or have hired an illegal to mow his yard or clean his house, yada yada yada.  This will come about shortly after he has been labeled an Uncle Tom.  And of course, it was purely coincidental that Mr. Carson was audited( by the IRS) very shortly after his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast brought him his newfound notoriety.  I just hope someone doesnt suggest that this audit was the result of a couple of Rogue IRS agents or a video was somehow involved.

Yes , I have a problem with what he has done just as I am sure you have a problem with what John Edwards did.  I also have a problem with the fact that the Gingrich news came about on the eve of the South Carolina primary.

Bullets- You mentioned "several scandals" associated with Mrs. Palin. ARent you glad we didn't elect her because we CERTAINLY have a scandal free Presidency, don't we. Hmmm- wouldn't it be interesting to compare the effects of the "Palin scandals" on that particular town vs the "Obama Scandals on this country? Additionally, I saw where you voiced your concerns about Cains "ALLEGED multiple affairs". Ever hear of Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey, amd Gennifer FLowers?

IF my memory is correct, there is little documentation/evidence that these things actually occurred. Didn't seem to have much impact on the Kennedys or the Clintons.

It is the democratic character assassination machine.  When one is perceived to be a potential threat, they are given a lot of negative publicity (with, of course, a very willing media)and a substantial part of the public accepts it.  As I said before, Monica Lewinsky was a "small, irrelevant, personal indiscretion" while Herman Cain committed a mortal sin ( although I believe, to this day, it has never been substantiated)

Bottom line is that Mr. Cain, Condi Rice, and Clarence Thomas, among others stand for self sufficiency and personal responsibility and reject the idea (embraced by so many) that any difficulty that they might experience is the fault of someone else.

Nope- this is another Herman Cain- this individual has a masters degree in computer science and was a member of our Naval Armed Forces.  He was so successful working at Burger King that Pillsbury promoted him to Chairman and CEO of Godfathers Pizza.  He also was Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City/Omaha.  He also served on the Board of Directors of several major companies as well as serving as the CEO of the National Restaurant Association.  While I am aware that he does not appeal to some because he does not employ the defiant/militant/hate approach, I still believe the aforementioned items are better leadership ingredients than being a community organizer and spending two years as a senator where "present" was the standard response for most voting activities.

Just about any candidate for the Repubs is a Democrats dream because the character assassination machine will manufacture a story and the kool aiders will accept it for face value (  aka- Herman Cains "impropriety" was not acceptable but Bill Clintons was or Harry Reid lying to the public suggesting that Romney had not paid taxes in 10 years)

Prepare to be called a racist

Is that because Saturday Night Live said so? (funny they never said anything about "campaigning in 57 states)

Sorry, but retail gasoline prices have little to do with oil company profits. Its a good thing that the oil companies are profitable. That permits them to employ lots of people, pay lots of taxes, and search for more oil. It also helped this country not need to bail out Exxon when the Valdeez situation came along and BP when the gulf oil spill took place. If they hadn't been making profits, the poor taxpayer would have funded all of the liabilities.

You are the one who always insists that people do better research before posting stuff. Why don't you investigate "I can see Russia from my backyard" and see what you come up with. The basis for this line comes from a September 2008 interview with ABC News's Charles Gibson, who asked Palin what insights she had from her state being so close to Russia. She responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." I also recall in an exchange with you some years ago how you were concerned with the debt level of the city where Mrs. Palin was mayor- compare that to our current President and let me know how you feel about it. This is true. As Slate has pointed out, on a clear day, those on the Alaskan island of Little Diomede can see the Russian island of Big Diomede, located across the International Date Line some two and a half miles away. Given that Big Diomede has no permanent population, the amount of foreign policy experience one can gain from staring at it is debatable. But you can see Russian soil while standing in Alaska.

Why not? They both made statements at the time. Could you possibly be letting your personal bias cloud your judgement?

You are spot on and there is nothing 50-50(or even close) about the political leanings of college professors
