Almost no one knows who Herman Cain is, he's never run for public office. If you ask people who was the CEO of Godfather's Pizza almost no one could answer the question correctly. Recently, he's said he would not have a Muslim in his administration, so he's someshat a bigot.

Today's a new day a great day for America. More people know who he is and more people will know tomorrow. He's on his way to the top.
You may as well get on the Cain Train now. He is going to be our next President. :)
 
The Cain Train thing is a nice turn of phrase.
 
Throwing the BS Flag here.....where do you get ALL of these Lefty talking points?

Are you Black?



cpwill - it is precisely because the GOP does not care about African Americans that tinges them with racist motivations, a racist platform and racist policies. It is that exact lack of caring about including African Americans which indicts them. You claim that somehow, someway that shows they are not racist or they are above race. Baloney. They care a whole lot about race - as long as it is White. In a transparent attempt to inoculate themselves against a charge of racism since African Americans are few and far in between in the GOP, they glom on to a noted token or two like a flea jumps on a mangy dog and hold on to them for dear life.

Your party may care nothing about African Americans - but your party cares a great deal about race.

They issue them at our weekly meeting of the Radical August Spies Cell meeting which takes place at the Leon Trotsky Union Hall. We have to learn them by heart and then are forced to eat the paper.;)
 
Mitt Romney... he's the only one on that whole list who has a chance to garner independents and actual conservatives who are not jackasses.

actually when Mitch Daniels won reelection in 2008, he won by 18 points in a state that Obama carried nationally. He won a majority of the vote of those under 30 and 20% of the black vote. He carried independents heavily and had a pretty respectable percentage of democrats cross the aisle to vote for him.

conservatives will hold their nose and vote for Mitt if that is the option. but we don't like him, we don't want him, and we won't come out for him in the numbers that we would come out for someone who had at least a dimes worth of difference between himself and Obama on such critical matters as healthcare.

:lol: the fact that we aren't racist is what makes us racist - but the fact that the democratic party - does enable and enact racism makes them not racist?

:lamo things you'd have to be a partisan to believe.... :)


:) Check out the Poll Above, Hay. Racists were voting for Obama rather than against him. ;)

a racist platform and racist policies.

HAH

It is that exact lack of caring about including African Americans which indicts them. You claim that somehow, someway that shows they are not racist or they are above race. Baloney. They care a whole lot about race - as long as it is White.

which is why Herman Cain is exploding in support, why Allen West is a hero of the Tea Party movement, why people like me think that Marco Rubio will (and should) be president one day....




but this rather provides another piece of evidence for my theory that Democrats are often just projecting when they attack Republicans.

Your party may care nothing about African Americans - but your party cares a great deal about race.

evidence beyond hyberpole?
 
Legitimate question, are you black...or just a guilt ridden white man?

why does it always come down to race with you?

and it's not a legitimate question, btw, he was making fun...to put it nicely.
 
good point. the vast majority of people couldn't care less about his race. in the meantime, democrats in general care far more about his race than republicans in general.

Except when discussing how he got into Harvard Law School.

Race plays a factor in everything including your biases :)

Not my problem if you don't understand that.

Now...how did the "Hearts and Minds" thing work out for the South Vietnamese and the Kurds?

Please ignore me until you grow the balls to answer that question coward :)

:D you caught me. everyone knows that Harvard is only for rich white people, and that's how Obama made it. :D




the actual harvard critique, as i understand it, isn't a racial commentary as it is a personal one. Obama was sold as Being So Smart And Wise, and one of the pieces of evidence was his going to Harvard. The intent wasn't to really talk about race as an issue, but argue (as i recall, i never really looked that into it) that Obama wasn't the Brilliant Constitutional Scholar And Philosopher King, but rather had benefited from some preferential policies.

probably also worth noting that Rush Limbaugh spent about a week or so lambasting Daniels on his show - accusing him of not being aggressive enough, of not being hard core enough, hitting on him for this "truce" comment etc.
 
A virtually all white political party in a nation which is soon to be only half white is not at all racist according to cpwill. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

I can see where you guys are coming from, but personally I think that even if he benefitted from such policies, the fact that he came out and performed well and graduated magna cum laude redeems him in my eyes.

Holy crap...you're all over the place...ADHD?
 
For anyone who missed Cain's awesomeness today. here it is. I wonder if Chris Mathews watched it and was able to forget he was black for a half hour.:lamo



There was over 10,000 people there. Pretty good turn out for someone who is such a long shot. :)
 
(smile) Unlike yourself coeard I can multi-task .

Answer the question or run along.

I have no time for cowards.

If you don't mind, translate the from "I'm not a plastered walmart employeee with less than 80 iq", into English. Thanks. :)
 
Whats the rest of them lol and where did you get that gem of information

I misquoted. I meant to say that 20-30% of the population is TEA and 20-30% of the population is Big gov repub. The information came from a USA-Today/Gallup poll.

what is a big gov republican? As far as I know, none of them want big government or want to keep growing government.

Social conservatives who want to legislate from the bible and who support taking away liberties for security purposes. You know, PATACT, anti-gay marriage, anti-choice, smoking bans, etc

If you don't see how most repubs support big gov you need to pay more attention.

After watching that video my first thought is that Cain needs to spend money on a better speech writer or hire a trainer to teach him how to speak extemporaneously. Right now he has a couple of bad habits that need to be fixed so he can clearly present his ideas.

The other I noticed is he is extremely weak in terms of foreign policy. Between watching this and his gaffes during the Republican debate he stands a real risk of ceding foreign policy, a traditionally conservative plank, to President Obama if he is not careful.
 
I believe Mitt Romney will win the Republican nomination. It will be another instance where I go to the polls holding my nose as I vote for <hack,cough,spew> Mitt Romney. :(
 
no, i refuse. I will vote for Republican Senators and punish the Party while trying to avoid the wreckage of the country.

I will not vote for Romney. I voted for McCain - the Party has already gotten it's freebie.
 
Looks like Mitch Daniels is out. Although I did think he was somewhat overrated as a presidential candidate, there is no question that he is a great governor. Despite the fact that he is a conservative Republican and I'm a liberal Democrat, I don't think it's an exaggeration for me to say that Mitch Daniels is one of the two or three best governors in America right now.

As I see it, the number of viable Republican candidates is now down to just three: Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and Jon Huntsman. Other potentially viable candidates (e.g. Chris Christie, Rick Perry) have not declared any intention to enter the race yet, although it's not too late. The rest of the field mostly consists of vanity candidates at this point.

I think the nominee will probably be either Romney, Pawlenty, or Huntsman...with Romney still the most likely choice.

Then it sounds like you need to hitch your wagon to someone else so that doesn't happen this time. I held my nose for McCain and I don't want to hold my nose again this time.
