I'd say it was the perfect way to cap off his run for the presidency.

According to The Daily Beast, he didn't actually watch the movie. The story is:

That's what I figured. He wasn't quoting the movie, he was quoting Donna Summer who he has probably listened to a lot. But it sounds like the song he'll next be quoting is "Last Dance," |

This kind of shows that the world really is super flat. Just think: first, a song is created for a children's movie. It is then reused in a presentation about the Olympics. An executive from a pizza restaurant company runs for office in the Republican party. He then quotes the presentation.
That is our culture today. |

Are anime fans just stupid? Why are you acting like he's so cool for misquoting something from a cartoon like it was actually the deep and meaningful words of a historical figure? You do realize this guy could have decided when to start a nuclear war, and he didn't even know China had nuclear weapons, right?
I'm all for having a laugh, but this is seriously frightening someone this moronic got that close to becoming president of the United States. Also how stupid some Americans are. |

Who is acting like he is cool? I think (nearly) everyone here was lampooning him and the situation. |

What, you think Cain actually had a chance of winning the Republican nomination, much less the electoral race? |

Yes. He was number one in the polls. Did people forget this? The only reason he was capsized was because he was a skirt chaser. They were all for things like 9-9-9 that would've slashed the taxes the rich pay by two thirds, doubled the amount the poor pay, and lead to end of Social Security and Medicare, because there would no longer be funds to support them. These are the same people that voted for Bush after he invaded a country for a made up reason. They're not that bright. Last edited by jsyxx on Sun Dec 04, 2011 4:39 pm; edited 1 time in total |

You still are not addressing the fact that people here were not applauding Cain. If anything, they are happy about the Pokemon exposure, intended or not. You didn't even post a quote to illustrate your point before calling us all "stupid Americans", ----which makes me think you are just trolling. (not that I personally disagree with you about Cain's politics....) |

Ah! See, I could have maybe gotten behind a Galaxy Express 9-9-9 economic plan.
But no people stopped taking him seriously as soon as he went past talking points and got the least amount of scrutiny. Every clear thinker took apart his 9-9-9 plan as simplistic and just another Forbes flat-tax plam, and as insular as many Republican voters can be, the fact that he seemed completely confused about foreign affairs lost him support. The suggestion of sexual harassment and marital infidelity certainly had an effect but in big ways but I think he was happy for the first couple, because him saying unfounded accusations (by people who couldn't legally comment) were a plot to take him down distracted the media from discovering he had started making a fool of himself on policy questions. Pokemon though? yeah, that wasn't going to help either. |
