I don't think people realize that Herman Cain's history of tough talk on illegal immigration, something unheard of in a front runner Presidential candidate, is a big reason for his success. Illegal immigration is something politicians have ignored completely, or supported, despite the pleas from the majority of Americans who have a hard time understanding the complete disconnect, and lack of respect for U.S. citizens, while our Presidents pander to the government of Mexico. It's sad and pathetic, but Herman Cain may be our last chance to support a person with a real chance at the White House, who takes this extremely important issue seriously. That's why I'm going to do everything I can to get him elected.

Illegal immigrations is just as important as our economy, and if you don't talk about it seriously, it's no different than a candidate trying to get elected without mentioning the economy and jobs. Cain is good on all the issues, including the economy, but also on an issue that has been ignored for so long it's ridiculous. Herman Cain is right when it comes to all the major issues that must be solved if we are to survive as a nation.

The liberal media can't stop him directly, only Conservative Republicans can stop him by falling into the liberal media's trap of thinking he's not electable. The guys being attacked with everything the liberals have, and it's backfiring on them. It's done little, if any, damage to his campaign, and has increased his campaign donations dramatically which shows people know what's going on, and are fighting back anyway they can. Cain has been attacked for other things as well since he became the front runner, and every time it's only caused a spike in his campaign donations while he continued to rise in the polls. Conservatives are being defiant this time around instead of the pushovers we have been at times in the past, and we aren't going to let the liberal media, or Republican establishment push us around any longer.

I think there has been a clear change in Conservative behavior this time around. The liberal Republican establishment has always lacked balls unless it comes to a confrontation with Conservatives. That's why we need to get Conservatives in the Republican leadership who have spines, and don't have to be pressured 24/7 not cave into democrat demands. It would be nice to have real Conservatives, who we could depend on in the leadership who we didn't constantly have to pressure to do the right thing, which usually just delays their appeasement to the democrats anyway.

Cain has a tougher task in defeating Romney, and winning the Republican primary than he does defeating Obama in the general election in my opinion. We just have to keep supporting him, and helping out his campaign.

Considering it doesn't seem to have hurt him much, and has increased his campaign donations drastically, I would say he handled it fine. If you're innocent, and keep getting confronted with stupid accusations that look like jokes, it probably just adds more credence for him having done nothing wrong. If he had actually done a lot of these things in his past I think he would have had something prepared for when they came out.

>>> Considering it doesn’t seem to have hurt him much

Think again.

A month ago, Herman Cain edged out Barack Obama among likely voters in Rasmussen’s poll, 43/41. Last week, after the initial allegations of sexual-harassment complaints surfaced, Cain trailed Obama by five points, 43/38. Today, after ten days of allegations and the response from the Cain campaign, Obama now beats Cain by eleven points:

Mark Block has become a problem but what may ultimately catch up with Cain is a preparedness and specificity deficit.

“It’s his top aide and chief of staff Mark Block.”

He acts too much like a comedian to run a campaign to help select the President of the United States of America!

Mark Block is a meat-head. Dude needs to go.
