ah, politics.
During a Republican debate for the 2008 election, this was an early one- so there were a whole bunch of people up there, a question was asked. I don't remember the exact wording, but basically it was- If you don't believe the theory of evolution,raise your hand, A couple of the candidates, including Mike Huckabee raised hands.
At that point, the moderator should have thanked them for coming, asked them to leave the stage and continued with the remaining debaters. It would have been okay to give then a lovely parting gift, but- leave.
I was reminded of this when I read an interview with Bachmann the other day and she was asserting that she was running because God told her that it was her time. oh and she's against Cain's 9-9-9 taxation plan because if you flip the numbers- the sign o' the beast.
Here's your coat Mrs. Bachmann, your car is waiting outside.
There was a spectacular image from a few debates ago- the candidates were reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance and the camera was moving down the line showing Newt Gingrich and then Ron Paul standing with hands over their hearts, looking like the older gentleman they are. Next we came to Rick Perry who was standing as if he were posing for a Wheaties Box or the cover of the next Superman Comic Book. chest out, head held high, gleam in the eye. You just knew that he had practiced that pose in front of the mirror, once or a thousand times.
It's going to be a long year
