Case in point Jeb Bush: I misspoke about women's health funding - BBC News

Maybe someone should count up all the times that the candidates "misspoke".

Oh, he misspoke here too..........

Don't forget to watch the lower tier candidates, who are on at 5:00 PM EST tomorrow on Fox News. Who knows, one of them might end up screwing with your life, so you might as well check them out too. Stranger things have happened. Example, one of them could get tagged as a running mate, or end up running Homeland Security. Santorum might get the brief to close Planned Parenthood.

All really dependent on where you are work wise, and the statement seems vague to me, not specific enough to know if he actually wants people to work in excess of 40 hours per week.

I wouldn't vote for him, but I can see some benefit to the statement for those who are underemployed and want to work more, but find the increasing number of part-time jobs frustrating.

Damn! OK, here's what you do: vote for my guy Bernie. He'll either see you get the money for cable via income transfer, or he'll give you cable as an entitlement. Then you could watch the Republican Roadshow next time...or not.:lol:

Don't forget, if you're cold next winter the boys will drop off a bag of coal (don't tell anyone, but they're left over from the power plants - they don't need them now), that should help keep you warm...but only if Bernie wins. Need a ride to the polls? An absentee ballot? We'll help you with that too. Not a citizen? No problemo, mi amiga.

As evidenced, nobody in the USA can afford to have Fox News.

Well, there is MSNBC. You could afford Fox, but you would have to give up bacon.

Fox News viewers would vote to take bacon away from you. Then there would be civil war.
