Campaign Promise: Cashew Chicken on Every Plate
UPDATE: Apparently Tommy goofed up even more than initially reported.
This cries out for one of Joe’s jokes about Chinese food!

Republican presidential hopeful: Money making a Jewish tradition
WASHINGTON – Former Wisconsin governor and Republican presidential hopeful Tommy Thompson told Jewish activists Monday that making money is “part of the Jewish tradition,” and something that he applauded.
Speaking to an audience at the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington D.C., Thompson said that, “I’m in the private sector and for the first time in my life I’m earning money. You know that’s sort of part of the Jewish tradition and I do not find anything wrong with that.”
Thompson later apologized for the comments that had caused a stir in the audience, saying that he had meant it as a compliment, and had only wanted to highlight the “accomplishments” of the Jewish religion.

More closet racism from the right. Is it impossible for the GOP to dig up a true representative of their values without that particular trait?
I would put this in the realm of oignorance and minor anti-semitism. Maybe he can fill in the Imus slot.
Ah yes, the former Wisconsin Governor letting the world know how he wold handle sensitive Middle-east politics.
Too bad we already had the “learning challenged” President.
Maybe he is just hinting that he can be bought?
Not very bright, Tommy, saying that about voters who are heavily liberal and Democratic to begin with. Next contestant, please.
Certainly could have worded that better couldn’t he. Several of my Jewish friends are very astute businessmen, and while some attribute the basis to their Jewish ancestry. I know of none who would have thought that to be a stellar comment.
>Too bad we already had the “learning challenged� President.
Which beat a “smart Democrat” Really – come up with a better slogan – one that doesn’t slam down your own party in the process.

Not only in the election, but in the debates(!!!).
Next time, the smart Democrat should make smarter decisions instead of Choosing to Lose.
What’s next from GOP candidates? “Y’all make fine athletes and entertainers”? A blackface routine?
Hillary (and I’ll now say Obama) must be already delighted at the GOP gaffes.

Hillary needs them – she needs all the help she can get.
>What’s next from GOP candidates?
But yeah – beats the heck out of me. It’s not exactly the stellar parade.

In a word, no.
In two, “President Clinton.”
Ya sure- A boast? About the worst dumbarse president in history?
Well then. Win again in 08…..
in your dreams
He sure sounds patronizing.
That’s no way to win support. If he feels superior, he’s got to learn to conceal it. What kind of politician is he, anyway? He certainly wouldn’t make a good Democrat, and I’m embarrassed that he calls himself a Republican.
But if he isn’t being patronizing, why does he sound like he is? Maybe he’s just very self-conscious about whatever stereotypes he wants them to think he doesn’t have?
Either way, he doesn’t inspire confidence or trust.
I wonder what he would say to Muslims? Hmmm, no, better not go there.
Anyway, he has to at least sound normal if he wants to be taken seriously, and he doesn’t (sound normal). So, right out of the chute, I would put this horse in last place. Well, maybe not last. McCain’s record isn’t very Republican, either.
But don’t worry. That won’t make me desperate enough to consider deciding between Left-of-Kennedy Barak Hussein O’Bomber or Hilarity (her health care plan was a sick joke) Clinton.

Sorry, m, but the USAirForce does NOT allow the “learning challenged” to fly F-102 (or any other) fighter jets.

Ineptitude? Far behind the times? (Civil Rights and civil equality was the Left’s last big victory, a century after Appomattox.)

For me, it’s not partisanship, but politics or even ideology. McCain doesn’t hesitate to be liberal to pose as the “anti-Republican” and who in the hell likes him other than liberals?
Mr. Keating Five — *gag*

Nor me (Democrats remain toxic waste), but I believe many will jump the fence, as they did in 1992. OK, then, Perot was a legitimate protest vote, and Perot hurt, too. It ended up 43-38-19 per cent in 1992. At the time, Clinton was so weak that up to the actual election, Dems were ready to rush to Mario Cuomo (*gag*) if Cuomo chose to seek the Presidency after all. 2006 and the current Bush scandals are pointing to that. “Like father, like son.” (I’ve said before, what does that do to poor Jeb’s prospects in the future?)
It’ll depend not only on who the Presidential candidate is but also on who the VP is on both sides.
Hillary’s fascistic health plan (which her fellow lefties were too cowardly to call fascistic, even those also on the far Left who were outraged that the private sector had any nominal or functional role in the plan) will probably be replaced this time by “Medicare for All.” (Don’t know if the unconstitutional failure to pay for lost profits upon takeover will be attempted, as would be in the Conyers plan.)

Would you like to try that again in a coherent, complete sentance?
