I think Cain just mispoke. But he's really not ready for prime time. He seems to have little knowledge or basis in domestic economic policy, and he jokes about his lack of foreign polich knowledge. He'll be done for when he goes against any knowledgeable candidate, GOP or Dem. I'm really at a loss as to how he's one of the leaders in the GOP candidates.  He's a decent guy with a good sounding message but I feel he'll fade quickly enough as people understand that he's not too well informed, and we just don't need that as President.

Just like Obama.

Is this one of those infamous grumbler gotchas, where the argument hinges on ignoring simplifying common sense assumptions? 
No, it is one of those debates where you ignore what I say and state simply that it isn't possible, even with the caveats that I placed on my contention.  Then, when I note that your argument that it simply cannot happen ignores my caveats, you say it just can't happen.  That's when I stop the discussion, beause you are ignoring the actual discussion in favor of some strawman you seem to have created.

It clearly is possible for the US to "outgrow China in absolute and per-capita terms.  Why it would want to do so (give the likely environmental, political, and social costs) is, of course, the better question."  Which was my contention tobegin with.

You can't kill something that's already dead.

And Herman Cain most definitely sucks dick.

You were going to vote Perry until Valmy convinced you otherwise, is that it?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm disappointed he didn't seem to say something profoundly stupid we could make fun of at the last debate. :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

I'll vote for anyone but Obama.

Why?  Cause the Lt told you so?


No. It was actually the voices in my head.

Is it my idea or Languish is becoming extremely lefty?

Languish's median has been a 'radical libertarian' point of view for several years.  As such it tends to be opposed to whomever the sitting president is.
