Hey, did you hear the rethugs have their very own black man running for president?

[Hugabear]

Yep, the rethugs have their very own black man running. Nevermind that he's slightly to the right of Nathaniel Bedford Forest. And if you aren't aware of the fact that he's running as rethug, they're very quick to cry about it...

1. They do realize, don't they, that it can't be just ANY black man, right? n/t

[spin]

2. There seems to be some similarity between the possible Republican candidates ...

most seem to have a hard time with history.

Sarah Palin has problems with Paul Revere's ride. Michele Bachmann didn't know that the battles of Lexington and Concord in the Revolutionary war occurred in Massachusetts not New Hampshire and Herman Cain thought “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” was in the Constitution rather than the Declaration of Independence.

4. They have a hard time with reality, and truth.

History of course is affected by that problem.

3. I think it is time to ask for their papers for they sound

like foreigners........just saying

5. WHAT!??? Steele wasn't the answer to Obama?

6. Who'd of ever guessed that there'd be TWO black REPUBLICANS with name recognition.

Michael Steele and Herman Cain.
Can anyone think of another one?

p.s. I heard a several months ago that Alvin Greene was going to switch parties and run for president as a republican too, but I don't think anything came of it and his name recognition isn't has high as Steele and Cain - so I think he doesn't count - and everyone would be calling him a fake republican anyway.

7. Well, there is Alan Keyes

He was a bit famous after that Borat movie.

8. Why does it matter what color a candidate is, whether Republican or Democrat?

[pintobean]

9. No shit!

:thumbsup:

10. Fear not. We still have Lee Mercer.

[Hippo_Tron]

11. Yea I watched the video of the Frank Luntz focus group where they were raving about Herman Cain

Given that Frank Luntz is such an amazing pollster and all, I know I'm going to be really shocked when Cain gets like less than 1% of the vote.

12. They are writing a new Republican book, "In search of the real

Uncle Tom". This guy is the white racists "wet dream".

[OneGrassRoot]

13. Herman Cain hates black people

(which is why the Tea Party loves him)

Seriously, why else would he promote (and at times provide voice-overs for ) ads that are so repulsive?

“If you make a little mistake with one of your ‘hos,’ you’ll want to dispose of that problem tout suite, no questions asked,” one of the men says.

“That’s too cold. I don’t snuff my own seed,” the other replies.

“Maybe you do have a reason to vote Republican,” the first man says.
