There needs to be a fresh new candidate like Cain who is not an easy MSM target. Like it or not, that is the reality of 2011 American Politics.
Anyone who has an (R) behind their name and is causing damage will be tarred the same way.
If you think Cain is the only one immune to this, I think you ought to look at how the MSM has treated other black candidates with an (R) behind their name.
Your logic fails here, and you should stop repeating this misinformation, because it's flat out wrong.
If she runs, she'll have the opportunity to change minds. If she runs she'll have a full throated campaign. If she runs, she may be the one candidate who can run her campaign directly at the MSM, rather than kow tow to the meme that conservatives have to sit down and shut up.
Your desire that we modify our message is so entirely wrong at this juncture in history.
We need bold candidates who draw bold differences in truth, not mushy, mealy mouthed moderates who simply echo the Marxist agenda while the country dies.
There is no such thing as a Republican candidate that won’t be an easy MSM target. No matter how broad their appeal was before announcing the media will attack relentlessly and unapologetically until said Republican is considered extreme.
Still angling to be Huck’s replacement, I see. And still the same old and dead arguments, too.
Baloney!! You are either part of the problem or have been hoodwinked by those who are. The political consultants are always parroting the same line as you and they always help elect a Democrat.
Why do Democrats modify their approach and move to the right during election time? They do it to seem less threatening to the "moderates" than they really are. When we modify our position and move toward the left we simply water down our message and it ends up tweedle dee vs tweedle dum and with the media, the unions, Wall Street, voter fraud and the stupid on their side they always win.
This country is mostly conservative, not progressive. When we field a candidate that is a true conservative and who sticks to the conservative message, we win. The last time was Ronald Reagan. Bush 1 simply rode on Reagan's coattails and Bush 2 was better than Gore but even at that he barely won. Neither Bush had a strong conservative message. How did we take over the House and improve our position in the Senate? Conservatives who ran as conservatives won.
Palin is our best chance and the fact that the media has been after her since her first speech at the Republican convention should be proof enough that she is who the Democrats are most afraid of. That McCain's political consultants tried to shut her up so as to not detract from McCain's moderate image is further proof.
Cain would be fine with me as would Allen West. We actually have a number of fine candidates as long as none of them follow your advice.
And candidate BO wasn’t polarizing? Or Hillary?
