And?......My DIL was a dem until she married my son. It took him pointing out that although she may have called herself a democrat, all her values and thinking were republican.

That, and when he ran for our state's vice chair of Young Republican's this year, she backed him and reregistered.

Do you really think Mrs. Cain won't vote for her husband? Your 'gotcha' has no there, there.

She doesn’t even show up on the campaign trail to help her own husband. What does that tell you?

Looks to me like she would rather keep Obama in the White House, than a Republican, even if he is her own husband.

I could not be married to a Democrat. Just couldn’t.

Understand that. But perhaps they both were Democrats but over the year Herman especially saw how awful the Democrats were and changed. It happens all the time. It can happen with Republicans too. Obviously if your wife woke up tomorrow and said she was a Democrat, you would just deal with it. It happens. If my wife woke up tomorrow and said she was a Democrat, I would be very disappointed but would not divorce her over it especially since I am totally against divorce.

"Really want to play this game?"

Gingrich on Obamacare and the Individual Mandate

November 9, 2011

(The Weekly Standard) In his Fox News “Center Seat” interview last night, Newt Gingrich highlighted (from 18:30 to 21:00) that “the first item” on his legislative agenda is “repealing Obamacare,” adding, “I think that’ll be the campaign theme in September and October of next year.”

Gingrich also addressed the individual mandate. He explained that “a mandate doesn’t work in part because it means more and more and more government definition of, 'What are you mandating?'”

In response to a follow-up question from Charles Krauthammer about whether he opposed the mandate as a matter of policy or constitutionality, Gingrich replied, “I believe that it is unconstitutional for the Congress to require you to buy something…because then the Congress could require you to do anything.” Krauthammer asked, “So, you’re saying, in principle, it’s a terrible idea, even if [as a matter of policy] it might work.” Gingrich replied, “Yes.” He added, “A lot of us, in ’93, as opposed to Hillarycare, thought [the individual mandate] was a less destructive alternative. The longer we dealt with it, the more we concluded it was hopeless.”

According to J. D. Gordon, Cain's vice-president of communications, Clinton was the last Democratic candidate for President that Cain supported," the report says. "Gordon tells Nebraska Watchdog that by 1996 Cain — who had joined up with Jack Kemp, the GOP's vice-presidential candidate — had 'changed' to the Republican Party." Washington Times

A vote for Cain is as good as a vote for Obama.

I saw that letter Perry sent to Hillary here on freerepublic. Saying he was campaigning for Hillary care is a distortion of what the letter was actually about. Anyone who is interested in knowing what this claim about Perry is all about, should read the letter. As for Herman Cain, I see a lot of people here being staunchly in favour of him while criticizing the other candidates, however, so how do people know how much of a conservative he really is? He’s never been in politics, so there’s no voting record.

Want to address this? This statement from May 2011? This year?

I guess I would be more worried about the other candidates situational political morality then I would Cain’s wife.

60% of women vote for the Nanny State party. It’s in their DNA. Conservative women are a rare breed in that they’ve evolved from their primordial default.

I like it. We all complained about Hillary being too connected to the campaign and White House. I see Anita being the same way. I want someone who is going to take the back seat in the White House. Who wants so pain in the neck always sticking her nose in things. I guess you love Michelle!!!! I particularly don’t.

Cain and his wife have been married for 43 years — if he didn’t manage to convert her by now, it’s not likely she will become a Republican now.

What!?! we don’t want democrats voting for a republican? Member now, Reagan was once a democrat, and, AND, ever hear of Reagan democrats? Dems that vote republican because they identify more with the person and his values than the party they belong to. Folks, I vote Rep all the time, but more because that’s the party where conservatives have made inroads... I’ve cursed the Republican machine when they’ve called wanting my money... telling them when they stop acting like democrats, then maybe I’ll consider giving... Also, most blacks are democrats, but watch how many will wind up voting for Cain, but still call themselves Dems...

You’re reading way too much into what you see. Does this little bit of information really tip the scales for you? That’s pitiful.
