During his address for the Iowa Family Leader, Cain spent much of his time denouncing President Obama’s “failure of leadership,” and said the tipping point in his decision to run for president came when Obama signed legislation overhauling and reforming the health care system. Cain seemed especially concerned with the length of the bill. After claiming that the administration had not read the bill, Cain promised the audience that as President, he would never sign pieces of legislation that are longer than three pages.

CAIN: Engage the people. Don’t try to pass a 2,700 page bill — and even they didn’t read it! You and I didn’t have time to read it. We’re too busy trying to live — send our kids to school. That’s why I am only going to allow small bills — three pages. You’ll have time to read that one over the dinner table. What does Herman Cain, President Cain talking about in this particular bill?

 

Lucky for us that would mean he cant sign any legislation. Ever.  He will keep that promise.

Cain is a moron if he really believes that all bills sent from the Congress to the President for signature can be limited to three pages.   However, I do not believe he is a moron, because I do not believe that Cain believes such a ridiculous thing.  He is posturing and demagoging on this matter just like he postures and demagogues on most everything else he talks about. And the gullible sheeple just eat it up, because they are morons!.

Those who witlessly graze upon this blithering nonsense barfed out by Cain are indeed SHEEPLE. Fortunately, they do not constitute the majority of the citizenry and thus your straw man implication that I am calling all US citizens sheeple falls apart. Let us hope that the "masses" know more about legislation than the clueless Cain seems to!

 

Your shabby assertion that my comment is hate driven is groundless and is all too typical of those on this and other forums who translate all forms of strong disagreement into allegations of hatred, an unprincipled ploy transparently designed to impugn the character of an opponent in honest debate and to thereby strengthen one's own argument. Like much of what you post, it doesn't cut the mustard, Interventor.

 

And one more thing, Interventor, you need to brush up on your King James grammar.  The correct quote is, "Why do the heathen rage?" (Psalms 2:1)  Subject/verb agreement mattered in the Jacobean period as it does today.

As to long, complicated laws, I'll yield to the judgment of James Madison, some one who's opnion I trust more than Cain's or any lefties'.

 

In Number 62 of the Federalist Papers, printed  27 Fen 1788, on The Senate:

 

"... if the laws be so voluminous, that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgaterm or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow.  law is defined to be a rule of action, but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?"

 

Sounds like Obama care, most of our regulatory rules and the income tax code.

Thank you fro your admission that you consider so many people beneath you, including a rather sucessful black man.  In the old days, i believe the statement would be: "That's mighty white of you!"

 

I don't suggest hate, but rather an elitist intolerance -- bit of a difference.  I rarely cut the mustard, preferring it full strength and spicy.  Except for wasabi, when soy sauce is acceptable.

 

True, I quoted a bit in error.  However, if you understood the meaning, which must escape you, it refers to elitist who think they can change the immutable nature laws of the world.  The heavens mock their effort.
