During GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain’s campaign announcement on Saturday, the former pizza executive took a moment to lecture the country on its need to “reread the Constitution”:

CAIN: We don’t need to rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America, we need to reread the Constitution and enforce the Constitution. … And I know that there are some people that are not going to do that, so for the benefit of those who are not going to read it because they don’t want us to go by the Constitution, there’s a little section in there that talks about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

You know, those ideals that we live by, we believe in, your parents believed in, they instilled in you. When you get to the part about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” don’t stop there, keep reading. Cause that’s when it says “when any form of government becomes destructive of those ideals, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.” We’ve got some altering and some abolishing to do!

1. They always do. I believe on purpose.

They know their followers do not know the difference between it and a roll of toilet paper, just half of the 2nd amendment.

4. Dude, relax.

We all know how much you love Obama, no need to get all slighted at the most remote possible insinuation.

I just took that comment to mean: "His speech should have been vetted." And that's the truth.

5. First, 2 words. Decaffeinated coffee.

Second, Cain made a big deal about Obama using a teleprompter. One would think that someone who didn't "need" a teleprompter would get their facts straight. OK?

6. Can't wait for the GOP "debate." Hoping Bachmann jumps in, too.

Gawd, somebody PLEASE ask these assclowns a questioon about American history. Puh-leeze!

9. The only way the RW can love the Constitution is to misunderstand what's in it.
