from his website: http://www.hermancain.com/


About Herman Cain: My Story

I was raised in Atlanta, Georgia by loving and hardworking parents. We grew up poor, but we grew up happy. Things weren’t always easy, but my mom and dad knew that if they kept their faith in God, faith in themselves and their faith in the greatest country in the world, they, too, could achieve their American Dream.

1. this is like when they picked Michael Steele for RNC. They think "look we have a black guy too, and

he talks bad about Goverment. We love him."

[Honeycombe8]

4. Exactly. You hit the nail on the head. nt

[golfguru]

13. To be perfectly honest, Cain has a more polished delivery

than Steele. Steele came across as running his mouth a mile a minute with not much gravitas.

[Solomon]

21. He's a lot smarter and much more accomplished than Steele

too. But that's not saying much.

[Clio the Leo]

2. I have not seen the debate yet, but I've seen him speak...

.... and I was impressed (lol NOT from a policy standpoint, but from a "ability to speak like he has a brain, unlike the rest of his party" standpoint.)

Tonight we went from the odds of TWO African American men running against one another in the general election being BEYOND negative 0 to .... maybe, it could happen....

[Honeycombe8]

3. The Republicans are desperate for a minority. ANY minority. SOMEONE...

Someone to go against Obama. (They, sadly, think Obama won because he's Af. American.)

My brother, who lives in La., is hoping Gov. Bobby Jindal will be able to run for Prez one day....he's smart, he's a good guv, and he's Indian, a minority! my bro said with enthusiasm. (I had to inform my poor brother that after Jindal's response to the State of the Union that time, that he doesn't have a chance any time soon.)

5. does he know he is for forced castration? of sex criminals? nt

[Honeycombe8]

14. My brother would have no problem with that. Not sure I would, either. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. actually, from what I read, many pedophiles beg to be castrated. But

forced castration is a bit too hitler-esque to me. Like what if the person
ends up being innocent.

[golfguru]

23. I have no problem castrating violent sex criminals

such as rapists.

[kskiska]

16. According to Republican eligibility rules

Jindal can never be eligible to run for the presidency because both his parents were immigrants (not U.S. citizens) when Jindal was born. Same goes for Nikki Haley in South Carolina.

[SnakeEyes]

22. So the racists are desperate for a minority?

That doesn't compute.

[Tx4obama]

6. They thought they could replace Hillary with Palin, now Obama with Cain. LOL

It will NOT work!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. how true !!! makes them look really pathetic, doesn't it. LOVE IT nt

[EC]

15. What else would one expect?

Repubs judge people by appearances, the outside personna. While Dems judge by brains and empathy, the inside personna.


They try so hard to be cool, that they pick candidates that they think will make them "look cool" like the guy that picks a car by how many women he thinks he'll be able to pick up.

[ieoeja]

24. This would be their third replacement for Obama: Keyes, Steele and now Cain.

Puts me in mind of the idea by one of the son's of Gov Pappy O'Donnel in O' Brother, Where Art Thou?.

"We could hire our own midget, even shorter than his."


Come to think of it, I do believe that all three Republicans cited have darker skin than Obama.

[agentS]

8. Well, it sure would be an interesting race!

Who will the racists support? The black guy who gets things done, or the black guy who sounds like a nutcase?
I hope their heads explode.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. Really?!!! That assclown? Please tell me the Pukes are not gonna pull a

"Hey look at us. We got one of "those" too."

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

10. yes, racists republicans will love him the most

they will trot him out as proof that there's no need for voting rights act, etc...

[Azathoth]

11. "I'll abolish Medicare in 30 minutes or less, or your money back!"

I can't wait for them to nominate this dude :rofl:

[handmade34]

12. this focus group

obviously gets ALL of their information from FOX News...

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. Anybody ask him about HIS birth certificate? LOL!

:eyes:

[craigmatic]

18. They love him because he probably said something stupid.

He's the guy who makes the bigots in the repig party feel like they're not racist by having him around.

[nxylas]

20. The Republican Party's black friend

[bigdarryl]

25. I want to see his BIRTH CERTIFICATE

[Ikonoklast]

26. And not one iota of experience in elected office.

Succesful businessmen usually make shitty politicians.

I don't need to buy a pizza from this guy, I need him to understand waaaaay more than that.

[mucifer]

27. I kinda think this thread is insulting.

He can be black and republican and a compelling speaker and very intelligent and completely wrong.

What I am saying is they aren't all carbon copies.

He is not Michael Steele.

He very well could win over lots of votes from republicans and democrats. It is possible with our economy being in such a mess.
There are a lot of desperate people out there who are looking for something new.
