Then my only response is to believe that your thought process is a mile wide and an inch deep. Emotional, not intellectual.
Anyone who abandons Cain over this is just not thinking clearly.
I think you’re right about that. Perry’s a fighter, and from what I’ve seen of how he governs in Texas, I don’t think he’s going to cringe in the corner about being called a name, even the r-name.
Nothing I said blamed Perry for the words that were on the rock.
The muckraking is cutting both ways.....against Perry and against Cain.
I'm objecting to those who fall for either ploy. You just happen to be falling for the anti-Cain part of the leftist race-baiting game.
He was asked by Chris Wallace about it and he replied that it was insensitive but it was not directed at Perry
Yes, but there is so much documentation on this one. So much of what the ‘Rat attack teams do is hints and innuendo—this can be a direct attack, with lots of documentation.
You say not thinking clearly, I say I’ve had enough of people using the race card. I’m not alone.
I’m not falling for a ploy. I’m looking at the words, and I’m not liking what I see. So sue me.
Nice that he says so after it’s all over and the nasty implication has already been made.
But Cain didn't.
It's obviously your choice to dismiss Cain for a few words you didn't like, but you may be throwing away the best candidate for something he clarified and that Perry is not holding against him.
Listen to Cain more often with a more open mind, and less emotional baggage, and you'll find a man who is the polar opposite of what you're accusing him of being.
It's there. Just open your eyes.
What evidence do you have that Herman Cain was lying to Wallace or Hannity about what he really meant when he clarified his words?
Please tell me where I said Cain was lying. I never said that.
"Lying" was perhaps too strong. "Disingenuous" might be a better word.
Kaslin told you that Cain told Wallace that he was talking about the word, not Perry, and you sarcastically implied that he just said it as a CYA.
Correct me where I'm wrong.
He's told both Hannity (in a lengthy interview last night) and Wallace what he meant, and you are implying that he wasn't telling them the truth.
Aren't you?
I liked Cain just fine until I got that unpleasant glimpse into his character.
I did NOT say lie, or disingenuous. You assumed it. What I was saying, or implying, was—too little too late. The damage has been done, in other words. Please don’t put words in my posts that I never typed.
Check out post #108 and see why I’m getting fed up with freeper Texans.
So..
I’m reading all the replies on the thread, and I’m thinking the same thing I’ve always been thinking.
I’m sorry but these candidates are just not going to cut it for a true conservative.
It is not hard to live your life conservatively and to vote or support policy that way. If you are a candidate and you had to compromise even once on a real issue to keep power, then you aren’t fit for office.
I hate the argument no one is perfect. Well true in a personal sense, but politically, yes they are.
There are literally 10’s of thousands of them.
While I certainly don’t support any type of restriction of freedom of speech in regards to the election process, this is what you get when the only people who run need bagillion dollar ‘backers’ or their own fat pockets.
Unfortunately consequence of character by nature.
Thanks for the usual bs ! You don’t disappoint !
Can I correctly assume that you've already decided on somebody else and are looking for excuses to dismiss his or her opponents?
Do you mind if I ask whom you support? Ron Paul?
