Herman Cain: Gun Control A “States Issue.” Huh? [June 2011]
Outside The Beltway ^ | 6-8-2011 | Doug Mataconis

Posted on 11/11/2011 9:49:00 PM PST by TitansAFC

When I saw Herman Cain’s interview with Wolf Blitzer yesterday afternoon, this immediately jumped out at me:

Another Cain supporter who can’t defend his own candidate, so you attack other candidates by hijacking threads and posting off-topic links.

BTW, I believe you will find that the person who posted this article does not support the candidate you are making off-topic attacks about. And I don’t support any candidate, so you can’t scare me off talking about what Cain has actually said by threatening to attack other candidates.

And it’s funny how just a few days ago the Cain people were CHEERING about how there were “TWO ADULTS” in the room, and talking about how great Gingrich was to have a great debate with Cain. But that was before some polls suggested Gingrich might actually be in the race, so I guess now you’ve got to destroy him to. Too bad Cain didn’t know that last week when he had him one-on-one in a debate.

When you are neck and neck with Huntsman...

Well at least you can flip over all those campaign posters and use them for yard sale signs...

I see still another freeper who can’t stay on-topic in a thread, can’t discuss his own candidate, so tries to hijack the thread by posting off-topic subjects about other candidates.

Did ALL the cain supporters get the same handbook to work out of?

So a democracy is better than, say, a republic in your opinion?

Ha Ha Ha. I realize that now we are supposed to laugh at every poll unless Cain is 1st in it, and then they are gospel and show that all the other candidates should drop out.

“And conveniently 5 anti-Cain posters were immediately available to comment on this old and debunked smear attempt. I think a GANG ZOT might be in order.”

You got my vote!

Newt Turns Fire on Cain (ugh!)

Was a very weak news report but still. Newt loses 10 pts.

"... if you want to be an American citizen here’s the way you do it… you need to get in line just like everyone else. Go get in that immigration line like everyone who came before you… Secure that border, have a sensible immigration policy, and if you want to be a citizen of the United States, there’s the line… But to go give 13 million people a citizenship because you came here illegally is… is… Asinine!”

~ Governor Rick Perry, Speech at the National Governor's Conference, November.16, 2008.

Don’t have a candidate yet. But if taking action for a candidate is “support”, I guess I’m a Cain supporter.

I’ve only done ONE thing in support of any candidate yet. I signed a petition to get a candidate on the ballot in Virginia. And that candidate was Herman Cain.

Of course, I would sign other petitions if I had the opportunity. So I don’t really consider that a statement of support. More of a non-rejection.

So far as I know, I might not say anything good about any candidate for a while, so that Cain supporters don’t feel compelled to attack someone just because I said something nice about them.

So sorry — I can’t give you a name of who you should go after to punish me for giving an opinion about something Herman Cain said in June.

Mr.Cain has at least hundreds of thousands of supporters who “get” what he says about the 2nd Amendment vs. local gun laws. I don’t understand the problem.

He’s not up on the fine points of the legal debate and issues on guns and a lot of other stuff. That is why he not as wonderful as everyone here says. He’ll be dangerous, actually, and won’t even know it.

He’s going for Kemp designed corporate welfare in the cities. That already failed. He’s opening us up to a new source of taxes - consumption tax.

Sorry Charles, but when a group of known outspoken Perry Supporters decide to mislead concerning a candidate that is more conservative than Perry, the normal rules of thread etiquette go out the window.

Read the post I was responding to and why don't you Perry supporters quit distorting the issues.

Cain is losing support among women.

In a new CBS News Poll, 61 percent of Republican primary voters say the sexual harassment accusations against Cain won't make any difference in their vote, but 30 percent say the charges make them less likely to back him, and that rises to 38 percent among women. Cain has lost support among women since last month - from 28 percent in October to 15 percent now. He has lost ground with conservatives and Tea Party supporters as well.

But the race could still change; seven in 10 Republican primary voters say it is still too early to say for sure which candidate they will support.

Cain supporters can claim "Oh, CBS!" all they want, but this is indicative of a problem. Just because we don't LIKE that these stories are having an impact doesn't give us an excuse to pretend they don't.

Gingrich, Cain and Perry are going to split the conservative vote.

Romney will be our nominee. Obama will probably beat him.

Ugh.

So you would be just fine with gerald loughner serving some time in an institution, being finally declared ‘sane’ and set free to buy a new toy?
How about the Fort Hood shooter? Any reason he couldn’t serve his time and be allowed to have a gun?
And before you day those are extreme cases, what YOU are suggesting is that no one should able to control these guys getting weapons...and they are not the only ones. Who maintains the public safety?

I’m pretty sure Cain “clarified” this remark after he realized it wasn’t popular.

That has become his habit.

..And Texans made a decision -- are we going to kick these people to the side of the road and they are going to become tax wasters? Or are we going to require that they become citizens of the United States and become taxpayers? We chose the latter.

So what are conservatives supposed to believe about your candidate Reagan Man?

If I were them, I’d be MUCH MORE WORRIED about Huntsman breathing up my back.

lol! Perry, while in perpetual free fall, is dangerously close to passing Ron Paul just the same as he passed Romney, Cain and Gingrich on his way down.

You just don't expect fellow freepers to pull dirty tricks. That shouldn't be part of the vigorous debates that we all have...

Just give Perry a chance, I am sure he will forget what the answer is in the next debate...
