More kookiness I guess you missed the suggestion where you might need a break. Or maybe a nice medicinal shot of whiskey in your case make it two.

I said it in response to someones elses post.

Which is why I pointed out to you that YOU WERE mocking Cain.

Which is why I pointed out to you that Perry and his wife did the same thing.

Which is why I asked you why you were mocking Cain?

Unbelievable.

I believe you are nit picking and worrying about semantics.

Two women were paid sums of money after complaining about Mr. Cain. Since we are not privy to the agreements, we don’t know what these were sums for for... severence pay?

Maybe just leave quietly and we’ll give you X amount of dollars.

Well, did Perry say that?

I doubt it, not in the same terms that Herman is using.

I do believe God calls people and has through the ages.

It’s possible he’s called Cain.

But maybe Cain should keep it between himself and God for a while because it sounds a little pretentious and will turn people off.

Just my opinion.

Herman Cain has listened to and obeyed Him all his life, and Herman Cain has not done too badly, has he?! Praise God!
Did God tell him how to evade the draft?
signed, Vietnam Vet


Bug off, asswipe. Prove that Cain 'evaded' the draft or STFU.

He served our Nation in the Department of the Navy as a civilian, an actual rocket scientist calculating ballistic missile trajectories. He was on the same team, so stuff that crap where the sun don't shine, you got that n00b ?!?

Do you think Herman Cain is a molester of women.

Are you questioning God /s
We'll have Bible verses any minute now


Sounds like you need some Bert:

"For Ronald Reagan, spiritual faith was not something to hang in the closet upon taking political office. As governor he had often relied on prayer for guidance, and after entering the White House he felt he needed prayer as much as ever. And politics, he held, needed faith. He frequently invoked George Washington's aphorism that religion and morality were "indispensable supports" to political prosperity.

He also felt that America and Americans needed the Bible. The Bible, argued Reagan, held all the answers. "I'm accused of being simplistic at times," he said more than once. "But within that single Book are all the answers to all the problems that face us." As Ben Elliott remembers, it was a line that many found over-the-top, some White House staff among them. Nonetheless, Reagan believed it devoutly. When the president shared the thought before the National Religious Broadcasters convention, Elliott recalled, it "brought the house down." The audience responded with a standing ovation, and Reagan was delighted.

He saw God as the preeminent source of wisdom and moral guidance, the fount "from whom all knowledge springs." "When we open ourselves to Him," the president told a group of students in December 1983, "we gain not only moral courage but also intellectual strength."

Yes. But I want to know if God told him to get that cushy draft-deferment job so he wouldn't have to go to Vietnam.

KMA grunt. You ARE an obnoxious troll and I predict a short life span for you on this forum.

If 3 women have come out then name them.

The second settlement is based on anon sources. Because the sources are anon they cannot be verified or vetted. Someone in NRA can be making stuff up. We don’t know unless we have names.

Do we have any name inside NRA that can confirm 2nd settlement ? NY Times said 2nd settlement is based on anon sources. Anon sources are not reliable.

How do we know there are 3 women if only 2 have been named. The other has not been named and is based on anon sources, that we can’t verify.

Not really. I just think he may have an eye for the ladies or he may act too familiarly with women who work for him.

The libs are saying that God literally told Cain to run for president. That’s not what Cain said at all. Filthy liars.

Being led by God has nothing to do with “ego”.
