He ran for the United States Senate here in Georgia in 2006;

Wrong. 2004.

Unfortunately, the criticism of Obama and friends inside the tea party movement is no longer limited to economic policy.

Apparently the author is not a big fan of social conservatives.

Like most Republicans, he only acknowledged his party’s failings after it was too late to do anything about it.

Lie. If the author had listened to Herman Cain's radio show even once he'd know better.

It sounds a lot like someone is afraid their chosen candidate has competition and they don't like it.

>> Cain wrote that nationalizing banks “is not a bad thing.”

Is this with respect to his Oct 20, 2008 article?

complete BS talking points being pushed by Paultards.

It gets better. I looked at the author's archives and found this nugget:

[Gary] Johnson is a breath of fresh air for many libertarians. And I think when it comes down to it, he is the better choice for the liberty movement. He presents his beliefs clearly, he has a track record of strong executive experience and he is there when it comes to the libertarian philosophy.

He must be proud of Johnson's performance last night.

But wait ... there's more!!

In 2008, Jason served as the campaign blogger for former Congressman Bob Barr's presidential campaign.

Take your pretty marbles and go home.

McCain had plenty of ‘experience’, and look what he did to us.

They said the same thing in 08 and gave us Obama because they couldn’t lower themselves to vote for anyone but their favorite.

If each voter who, like yourself, refused to cast a ballot against the democrats and decided to stay home,we would lose every single election from here till eternity.

Did you stay home in 08 too?

What was your preferred plan, instead of bailing out the banks?

Gary Johnson, wasn’t he that Green Party guy that accidentally stumbled into the debate last night?

I’ll bet he’s still reviewing the video to see if he got asked as many questions as the others.

And Pawlenty is polishing his “I came from a blue collar meat packing town” story.

One other thing for your consideration IF Paul was President Bin Laden would right now be ALIVE. Pual would never had authorized or given the order to put the bullet in Osuma’s head. And in that makes even the likes of ‘Bammy’ out rate Dr. Paul.

Palin and Trump got really high “I would never vote for...” in a poll that just came out on Fox News.

So far there are several candidates that I will NOT be voting for: Huckabee, Gingrich and Romney. It helps if you use the process of elimination.

Huh? No I didn’t know that.

Freepers know the most arcane things. That’s why I hand around. Makes my head bigger with all the stuff learn.

I forgot to add Ron Paul on the do NOT vote for list. While I like his proposals to end the Fed and I appreciate that he even had the nerve to bring up this subject that nobody every talked about, he is just a johnny-one-note. He is very good on this one issue but he has no concept in other issues. He has a too narrow focus.

learn you read you silly wabbit. :-) screw McCain, Dole and RINOs.

You can support talk show hosts, celebrities, whatever - all you want. But to get my vote they must have major political experience that provides minimal qualifications to be President in my book and then they must also be a conservative.

Why I’m not excited about Herman Cain:

=Because running for PREZ is not an effective way to start a political career
=Because fringe right-wing candidates help the RINO/establishment to splinter the grassroots, giving us a ROMNEY vs DANIELS race next year.
=Because the RINOs want to select the nominee cuz they like power, the grassroots want an exciting candidate to give them an interesting year. Nominating the guy is not a priority.

RINOs will win again.

Thank you you debunked a Paultard argument that my brother used last night.

You didn’t answer the question.

The other thing is this; Those who would threaten the United States by withholding their ballot, you for instance, are not to my way of thinking, at all smart.

If you think withholding your ballot participation makes you a conservative then you are just plain misguided.

2008 came and went. I’m just trying to nip this crap in the bud.

This is just my position, your mileage may vary.

"However, Cain was largely silent during the six years of runaway spending under the Bush Administration and a Republican-controlled Congress."

What platform did he have to express his concern?

A Harsh letter to the editor? A call to RUSH?

This is a hit piece from the Pro gay Paultards.

As Matt Lewis has noted, Cain ran for president in 2000.

Please provide a link as to where Matt Lewis has noted that Herman Cain ran for President in 2000. Cain makes no mention of it on his website. The two most recent articles I find with Matt Lewis talking about how Cain won the GOP Presidential debate don't mention that Cain ran for President in 2000. So, either provide the link or admit that the Black Republican that ran in 2000 was Alan Keyes. Or, maybe you misheard someone talking about John McCAIN.

Slate says, "He co-chaired the 2000 Steve Forbes campaign" so, isn't it a bit difficult to run for President when your chairing someone else's campaign for President?

I think this makes The Paulinista's look more than a little shabby.
