This year, rather than debating, all of the Republican candidates will be battling one another in hand-to-hand combat in order to see who will get to run against President Obama.<br /> Candidate Rick Perry led this charge for change.<br /> “What we need is a strong candidate,” said Perry at a recent press conferences. “Someone who can really rip the throat out of other countries out there. America needs a strong leader—someone who’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. It’s time we stop talking and sort this out like men.”<br /> Here Perry looked into a news camera and said, “Bachmann, I’m looking at you.”<br /> Bachmann, who was recently in the Midwest for the Iowa Caucus, told a local news organization there that Perry can “bring it.”<br /> Obama has already reserved ringside tickets for him and his family.<br /> “I want to see what I’m up against,” President Obama said. “It’s already difficult to win the trust and confidence of voters in the present climate of the country. The least I can do is show them I can take out the competition with my mean right hook.”<br /> Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will also be attending the matches, the first of which will feature Bachmann against Perry. Clinton said she’s already placed money on Bachman, who has been seen recently frequenting L.A. Fitness and drinking vast amounts of muscle milk.<br /> “She might be small, but she’s scrappy,” Clinton said. “She’s got just enough crazy in her. She shouldn’t be underestimated.”<br /> The match will take in New Hampshire in place of the caucus, and tickets are already being sold along with memorabilia. T-shirts are available sporting such logos as “Pulverize Perry” or “Beat it out of Bachman.”<br /> The change in politics is also attracting international attention, with foreign ministers flying in from around the globe to watch the fight, including German chancellor Angela Merkel and North Korea’s new leader, Kim Jong-un.<br /> Lizzy Thompson, a New Hampshire citizen, will be attending the match. When interviewed, she was wearing a shirt that read, “Republican Rage: first annual republican caucus cage-match.” Once she heard there would be a fight in her home state, she said she knew she had to get tickets.<br /> “This is the most exciting thing to happen to U.S. politics in a long time,” she said. “Finally we’ll be able to see clearly who the strongest candidate is, instead of just talking about it. It’s good to finally see some action.” </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2162#post-6500 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 12:24:26 +0000 MADJEZ 6500@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Quite right they should just let him get on and play golf and forget about all his marital trouble.

Ususally stereotyped into such roles as the step-and-fetch-it submissive post-civil war Negro, or the violent, drug dealing Super Fly, the jive talking ever-hip huckster, the daughter raping threat to the community, the black power fisting Black Panther, or the gang banging, good for nothing ghetto dweller there were for decades no other images available to represent black males until recently. The cultural, hard working, intelligent representatives such as the Washington Carvers, the Langston Hughes, and the Frederick Douglases were seen as being freaks, abnormalities.<br /> Now, after decades of social advancement, we finally have a black man who has achieved the unthought of attainment of becoming the President of what at present is the greatest nation on earth. Not only that, he is articulate, compassionate, sensitive, educated, intelligent, far-sighted, healthy, clean cut and a family man. Above all the understands the needs of normal people regardless of their race. All of the qualities the white race has wanted to see in a black man Obama represents. And how are the white power guys reacting to him now that he has finally taken a place in our society?<br /> “Tear him down!”<br /> “Impeach him!”<br /> “Socialist!”<br /> “Ruining the country!”<br /> “Send him back home!”<br /> Hmm. People want something, then when they get it they still aren't satisfied. With so little reward after adjusting to the expectations of the white race they, like spoiled children, don't want him. Should the Afro-American male return to the subcontinent ways of voodoo, witch doctors and playing football without padding? Nope, that would be counter productive. They might as well jump ahead of the white guys putting them down. It wouldn't take much. </p>
