Yeah I think most people would. But I wouldn't just go up to one of my liberal buddies and say hey I won a bet with a liberal guy who lives on the other side of the country that I met on the internet through a redskins forum...... anyways he can't make it, want to get something to eat? Its on me

Hopefully saden will be around too and I'll make it up to DC for that. Maybe GMScud could help some warpath brethern out. Either way Nov. 2012 turns out that would be a good time.

Bachman always has that wide eyed, crazy, spaced out look going on. Probably because she is.

Never said she was dumb, just wide eyed, crazy, and spaced out.

I tell you what thats a Presidential look right there.

Bachmann is a smart woman, but politically stupid in my opinion. She really is going too hard to embrace the Christian Right at the wrong time. The CR has past its zenith of power. Very few moderates and more importantly, independents are going to vote for her because of that. Romney has the money, and that is the problem. Look at Iowa, and the faceoff at the county fair about if corporations are people. In his view he was right, and in fact some Supreme Court cases back him up,but the perception is that corporations are heartless money grubbing entities that are evil to the core. Isn't the man worth like over $150 million also??

You mean that liberals have the perception that corporations are heartless money grubbing entities that are evil to the core. Most sane people realize that a corporation in its self is designed to make money and if the don't make money they fail. If they fail then the stock holders loose and the employees loose. So most people do realize that sometime corporation have to make decisions that affect people in a negative way and thats just a part of life. I'm not saying they don't do some things wrong I'm just saying they have to make money or they fail.

most americans have that perception. and since most of the time perception is reality....let me ask you a question. over the last 3 years at my companies quarterly meetings, we have been told that we are doing better then we ever have. business is booming. ROC is hovering around 20%. which is pretty much unheard of. but yet every year we get a 2.3% raise. so does that sound right to you?

The Republican field of candidates is pathetic.

Half of these clowns are borderline insane.

[mlmpetert]

Bachmann wins and Paul comes in a very close second.... Im telling you Libertarian views are more trendy then ipads right now.

Tim Pawlenty has officially dropped his bid for the presidency. The field is 99.9% set, unless Sarah Palin just can't bear the idea of Michele Bachmann being in the spotlight.
