If Cain ran against Obama...

I am sure there are many unstated assumptions that support your statement. I work with engineers (electrical, mechanical, and civil) mathematicians and physicists. They range from college new hires all the way to people like me with 30 years of work experience. They are uniformly brilliant. I cannot claim that any of them are Democrats. I can claim that about half are conservatives.

But if you mean people who get journalism, or women's studies, or other worthless degrees, then I might agree that those people would heavily favor the democratic party.

It as been conclusively proven that engineers are not entirely human. Thus, so many tend to be right libertarians. They tend to be more Vulcan-like.

Do you believe that aptly identifying the president is trolling?


Okay. Please ignore me. I identify the one term Marxist president Obama as a Marxist because of his ties to Marxists, socialists, Communists and other radicals. In addition he is doing more to damage capitalism than any other president including FDR.

I'm glad someone else made note of that - it is evident that those who cannot debate come up with their trite little statements and keep repeating them, thinking themselves to be actually contributing to the conversation but unaware that most of us just consider them intelligently challenged.

You have no proof that Obama has ties to Marxist, socialists or communists. The closest socialists to Obama are the Republicans who defend the Military (the closest thing to socialism in America), so are those the ones you are talking about?
Bush had business ties with Osama BinLaden's family, does that make him a Muslim terrorist? See how ignorant your statements come across? Of course you don't, you have to be able to reason to figure that out.

He said "he worked with engineers" - that could mean "janitor, secretary, ditch digger, tar pourer, Stop sign holder, coffee gofer" - figures.

Or I could have said that I am a manager who has 70 engineers who work for me. We are a team. I work with them. I hired almost all of them.

If Herman Cain ran against Obama do you think the blacks would be able to call white people racist for voting republican like they did in the last election?

Also do you think he can steal some of the black vote from Obama?

I'm glad I'm able to laugh at the absurdity of your statement, because it would be otherwise quite enraging. First, you use the term "the blacks," and I've only made it a few pages into replies of this thread but this is pointed out to you and you continue to use the term "the blacks." Black people are just people, you know. You make it sound like "the blacks" are a group that meet on wednesday nights in a basement to discuss their plans.

Your statement also assumes that black people voted for Obama because he is black, which is not entirely accurate. Obama won the support of many black Americans by showing them that he understood them and would respect and represent their interests as minorities and as American citizens.

Some people falsely accused conservatives of being racist for opposing Obama in 2008. But a lot of people did oppose Obama for racist reasons, and if you don't see and understand that fact, it may go a long way in explaining why you use the kind of ridiculous language you use.

IF obama was white he still would have gotten the black vote. The vote for gore 90%. For kerry 88%. Blacks are just a loyal democrats.

Yeah, and we could have said, "prove it".

Are you sure you didn't mean "I'll get a lego set of my own" or "I'll make your lego set my own"? Your statement as written doesn't make sense, which is no surprise.

I doubt it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't at least 90% of voting black Americans registered Democrats? I can't see Cain stealing one percentage point from Obama.

Race has no bearing here. Obama's reelection team is hoping that a weak Republican nominee emerges - in other words, anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.

Both Romney and Huntsman are reasonable candidates. In fact I think they should be running mates.

Duh. Freedom of speech.

If you are asking whether they can reasonably call republicans racist for voting for Cain, perhaps. Cain may be black, but he touts an ideology concerning black laziness that skirts close to racism.

Also do you think he can steal some of the black vote from Obama?

Unlikely. Do you think that means Republicans will "be able to" claim blacks only voted for Obama because of his skin color, as they did last election?

Most CEOs are really busy, don't have time for games, but they also don't have time to post inane posts on a political forum!

We're not afraid of Willard. Most of the religious right won't vote for a Mormon. Willard has flipped so many times, the anti-abortion right don't know if he'll flip back to being pro-choice again, like he was before he became anti-choice and pro-life.

Do you think I am a CEO? I was once. And before that I was the president of a small 20 person company. These days I am a senior manager (one level below a director) in a very large corporation.
