They're all morons, and Cain seriously seems like the worse, if you look at some of the answers he's given in interviews and GOP debates he seems more clueless than Palin. I actually think I might be smarter than him. But maybe this sort of naive ignorance is looked on as endearing and relatable. Also the recent sexual harassment allegations aren't going to help him at all, even if they could be entirely fabricated. There is a difference between remembering that something happened in general and remembering details of it. | ||

Herman Cain rules! lmao this guy is starting to grow on me. And I honestly think this bullshit about sexual harassment is purely responsive to him starting to dominate the other Republicans in polls. Its a bit too coincidental that once he starts owning face, he's groping bitches. And pretty ballsy coming out and saying he'll take a lie detector to prove its bullshit. Either bluffing or really is falling victim to the same tactics we see used on other people. | ||

You realize that he "groped bitches" in the nineties, and that the National Restaurant Association paid off said "bitches," right? | ||

In any event, at the point that there are 4 women accusing basically the same thing, I do think it's time to look beyond conspiracy sabotage theories from the Left or the Right. I sometimes wonder how how many accusers and defenders were entirely the other way during the Bill Clinton scandal. That is how many are morally outraged or else defensive to possible sabotage simply based on political ideology. I've started seeing the 'well, Clinton did it' excuse on a couple news comments section, which seems to be the inevitable admission to a lost cause. Edit. As for why Herman is "suddenly groping women." Well, that's more what the gauntlet that all frontrunners seem to go through. The so-called vetting process where all your dirty laundry gets aired. Perry got the same treatment. Obama certainly got it and switched churches over it, in addition to Ayers. (After listening to the full sermon, I don't think J Wright was too off-base with that particular controversy.) In some cases the media vetting can be pretty over the top, but if the accusations are true, I think it is pertinent as sexual harassment is a serious problem. | ||

Well there's only been one other President since Clinton to compare him to, but his approval numbers have been below Bush's at comparable time points in their presidency. Bush wasn't that unpopular in his first term. Obama's approval rating is in the high 30s last I checked, which is practically unelectability for an incumbent. He's quite unpopular at this time, mostly weighed down by the bad economy. Republicans see how vulnerable Obama is and that's why some of these crazies have a shot: they think they can still win even with a Cain. I disagree, but that's Obama's best shot. If Republicans nominate a standard candidate like Romney I don't see how Obama overcomes the bad economy to win. | ||

I thought they were rather inaccurate because it only measures physiological responses which can be thrown off by either being stressed by the environment or the question and therefore reads as though they are lying. Or alternatively a compulsive liar has no physiological response because lying is what they always do. In any event, at the point that there are 4 women accusing basically the same thing, I do think it's time to look beyond conspiracy sabotage theories from the Left or the Right.

I've started seeing the 'well, Clinton did it' excuse on a couple news comments section, which seems to be the inevitable admission to a lost cause. So far there is no evidence that these claims have any merit and each one is suspicious. The last case is extremely suspicious where the woman was seen months later hugging him, taking a picture with him, and whispering in his ear after a speech he gave, not something you would do to your sexual assaulter. Also how she is acting publicly not seeming to recall a horrific ordeal she went through, but enjoying her time in the lime light. Her having money troubles and the timing of her coming out is suspicious as well. | ||

Obama's approval rating is more deserved though, bush's approval rating were shot though the roof up till 2004 after all could use 9/11 as an excuse for everything pretty sure bush could have punched a woman and said she was a terrorist and saw his approval rating go up. You try keeping your approval rating up after you've been handed a battered economy people vote with their wallets. obama's rating only dipped in the 30's in august and rises as republicans make each other looks insane during political debates the avg is around 45 gallup puts it at 44 approval 48 disapproval http://www.gallup.com/poll/124922/Presidential-Approval-Center.aspx | ||

They are flawed and not admissible in court, in practice lie detectors are used to pressure people into a confession on the idea that they work and thus will be caught even though police know they don't work. | ||

Now, just considering the 999 tax plan and the history of the flat tax agenda, it is not at all economically feasible or popular. It turns out that when CEOs want to pay the same proportion of taxes as someone on the poverty line, they tend not to get support from voters. Republicans simply at this point can not run a campaign on economic issues because they continue to support lower taxes for million and billion dollar industries. Until the practice what they preach, as in benefiting small businesses and pushing for greater restrictions on corproate lobbying, the party and candidates like Cain are more of the same. 999 is simply a rebranded flat tax from Dole and Reagonomics. Ask anyone in the 1980s earning less than $20,000 a year what they thought of Reagonomics. I'm sure you'll get some curse words in their answer ans ome BM. | ||

You've misread my posts if you've somehow got to that conclusion, I was only arguing against that guys idea that Lie Detectors are completely void of any scientific validity. They are not. | ||

You've misread my posts if you've somehow got to that conclusion, I was only arguing against that guys idea that Lie Detectors are completely void of any scientific validity. They are not. Who said that placebos don't have scientific validity? Its a scientific reference point designed around people changing their behavior based on their preconceptions. A placebo does work better than random chance and does work better or worse depending on your belief in it. | ||
