Herman Cain: Yes, My Wife Is A Democrat

When he can't come up with a logical response. I promise, had he had ANYTHING to add, he would have. Pete is like that.

Quite to the contrary. People are using the "you are using racism" line more all the time now who never used it before. One Herman Cain comes to mind of late.

Yeah, and the Libbos are pissed because they no longer have exclusive use of it, anymore.

"Republicans want to put you back on the plantation", is the only thing the Libbos have had for decades, now.

Didn't the Left claim that any criticism of Barrack Obama was "racist"? That the Tea Party was "racist"?

It's clear where the real racism lives, and it has been there for decades.

Another example of the inarticulate Left.

Any ideas or responses that can't be contained on a bumper sticker leaves them confused and speechless, forcing them to retreat to their symbols.

Why argue with someone who obviously has an opinion based on zero evidence? I know I don't have the time.

No.

Moderator's Warning:
The topic of the thread is not race, it is Herman Cain and his wife. I suggest getting on topic.

I'd rather get back to the Dark Ages, thank you very much.

Not in the least.

Sorry, I don't take calls from the 20th or 21st Century, and I delete the messages, unheard. I generally don't even take calls from the latter half of the 19th Century, but I'll gneerally at least listen to the message if it leaves one.


tessaesque said:
Oh, no. Tigger is well known for posting sexist views. He calls it "old fashioned" but it's basically about finding a woman who will follow the rules of the OT (i.e. not speaking, being stoned to death for adultry, no rights, etc).

Not quite to that extreme, but close enough that it's not worth derailing the thread to correct it.

Have you given much thought as to why you're on a debate board?

That does not prove your point. The left has never claimed that "any" criticism of Obama is racist. The left has, on occasion, pointed out that photos with Obama's head pasted onto a witch doctor, or pasted on a pimp -- both widely disseminated on conservative mailing lists and forums -- are racist. And, too, the left has pointed out the prevalence of racist signs at Tea Party rallies, and the close association of conservative anti-immigrant groups with white supremacist groups. Etc.
 
Moderator's Warning:
I have given 15 minutes since the warning so no one can now say they did not see the mod box. ANy posts beyond this point still off topic will have consequences. Race is not the topic of this thread.
 
I really don't see the big deal in this story. Mr. and Mrs. Cain have every right to believe what they want to believe in this country, I don't begrudge anyone their beliefs no matter how sound or laughable. The only thing I am concerned about is where the beliefs go, i.e. how putting them into practice effects our country and Mr. Cain seems to be an acceptable alternative to the jackass currently taking up space in the W.H.

Also on that note, not all Democrats are liberal and not all Republicans are conservative as set out by modern definitions. If Mrs. Cain is in fact liberal it matters not because her husband is the one who is running for the office, I'm sure she'll have input of course but at the end Mr. Cain will have to make final decisions if he attains the presidency. All in all her politics are a back burner issue.

When one lays around in a pile of manure, one cannot come out smelling like a rose. Likewise, when one cavorts with one's own enemies, one can no longer be trusted not to BE one of those same enemies.

If Cain's own wife won't vote for him, why would anyone else? ;)

Off-topic, but real-life story...

Years ago I lived in a very small town (less than 1000 people) out west. My neighbors were both very politically active. He ran for city council. He got ONE vote... his own. She then had to explain to him why she voted for someone else. Was quite the humorous drama in town for awhile. :lol:

Did Herman Cain say that? What is the source for it?

I agree with that. There are however hangers on in parties who remember what things were like before a "polar shift" in the party and still think it's worth saving. Plenty of former Democrats in my state were of that mentality and finally just gave up and went Republican, I suspect Mrs. Cain is probably in that camp but can't be sure.

She is a ****ing American! She is in no way, no shape, no form, the enemy. It is completely and totally ****ing stupid to call some one of the other party the enemy. The worst she might be is part of the opposition, and even that is stretching it. If they both love America(likely), then the most that can realistically said is they disagree on how to achieve what is best for America. However, if you love America, then the only proper light to see those working to make America better, even if you disagree with them on how to achieve that or even what better is, is as a good American.

I naturally most likely agree with her politics more than his, and yet I do not think any less of her for being married to a radical conservative. Hell, I don't even dislike him, I just think he is wrong. When we stop being Americans, and start being republicans and democrats, liberals and conservatives, then I will fear for the future of this country.

I would completely and totally disagree that simply because someone has American citizenship they aren't the enemy. For me it isn't about Party... it's about IDEOLOGY. Pure and simple. If you're not with me, you're against me and there's no middle ground.

I do not love what America has become in the last century and a half. I highly doubt that most of my forefathers who came to this land between the time the Pilgrims arrived and 1910 (when the most recent arrived) would even CONSIDER coming to the America that I live in today. I can say specifically that one of them felt the nation he died as a citizen of in 1973 was not the same, or as good a nation as the one he arrived in with his wife back in 1910.

I have feared for the future of this country since I was old enough to comprehend what is going on in it. We are on the brink of a disaster that cannot be recovered from, and we slip closer to it every day. If only Mr. Lee had listened to Mr. Longstreet on that fatefully July morning in 1863.
