“OK Ms. Nancy Vote-For-It-First Pelosi.”

I’m sorry .. I wasn’t aware that you were hard of hearing. I’ll try again. I said... [clearing throat]

WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE MAN IS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE WE CAN DECIDE IF WE’RE FOR OR AGAINST IT.

I do believe that I also said something along the lines of...

[spraying numbing spray in mouth...]

a-hem...

“BUT THEN, I COULD HAVE IT ALL WRONG. I DON’T KNOW. I MAY *HATE* THE IDEA AND THEN I’LL HAVE TO DECIDE IF IT’S BAD ENOUGH TO SCRAP THE *WHOLE PLAN*.”

Is that better?

Enjoyed the intelligent exposition. Noting Laffer and Ryan are positive regarding Herman Cain's bold initiatives.

The cause of the economic wasteland has been Obama's communist repression.

Czars regulate, Dodd-Frank strangle, the oil moratorium, the end-of-Pompeii spending.

Herman Cain speaks to citizens' deep anger at Obama and underlying faith in American exceptionalism.

In fact, the man is a living advertisement for it.

Hence doesn't need the shrieking fairies of advertising to sell his product.

The American people bought it, own it, are bullish on it.

The train is here to pick up the Tea Partyers.

Well Marie, You could always be for it before you are against it. Then when we conservatives get it fixed and can still hold OUR heads high because we did the right thing, you could be for it again thanks to us. There is always room for flip floppers in politics.

However, there is NEVER room for tolerating socially-engineered tax and spend gimmicks, and that is exactly what federal entitlements through federal empowerment zones are.

I did hear the ‘scrap the whole plan thing-maybe hate it’ thought you gave too though, and yes, maybe that is what you would end up wanting to do. Who knows, but as for what comes with empowerment neighborhoods and enterprise zones.... yes, we DO know what they are. They are nothing new at all, and conservatives should stand up against adding more tax revenue to those kinds of federally-run entitlement programs.

Not cool, and not conservative.
