Should have quoted Naruto or some other shounen or a hotblooded super robot about never giving up your dreams and stuff while he's at it. "We can turn this 10% into 100% with courage and dreams"

LOL! This gave me a good laugh. Smile

But now to nit-picky...

The artist of the song being paraphrased is Donna Summer, not Donna Summers.

If Herman Cain came up with that quote, I don't even. If his speechwriter came up with that quote, they are a very successful troll.

I wonder if he'll do a voice cameo now.

I would've thought he was more likely to paraphrase Gurran Loggan

"MY DRILL SHALL PIERCE YOUR HEAVENS!!"

Lawls all around~

I'd been waiting for someone to post this.

But in my honest opinion, there is no way he really meant to quote Pokemon. Or knew beforehand. No way. I can not believe it.
It is one hell of a coincidence...
But I just can't for the life of me believe he even knew about Pokemon that much.

Boy the similarities...


Still, it sure as hell brought back some major nostalgia...

I'm at a lost for words on this one. I'm really hoping "Godfather's Pizza" had a promotional campaign with that Pokémon movie. Because, for some reason, I just find the prospect of Herman Cain watching such a thing, on his own accord, to be quite disturbing. I mean, Princess Mononoke... yes! Pokémon 2000... Kami-sama, help us.

I agree he should have let his followers know his "way of ninja."

At least it wasn't One Piece...
"I'M GONNA BE KING OF AMERICA" doesn't sound like a very good slogan. Unless he went for "I'M GONNA BE THE REPUBLICAN KING"...

Two can play at that game...

Prepare for trouble if you vote Republican!
Make it double if you support the Tea Party!

To protect the world from economic devastation!
To unite all peoples within our tragically divided nation!
To denounce the evils of Republican half-truths!
To extend our reach to the stars above (via a long term plan focusing on research and development)!

Hillary!

Barack!

Team Democrat, blast off at the speed of hope!
Surrender now, or prepare to engage in a clam and measured attempt at compromise!

Joe Biden! That's right!
