Weird.

Exactly. Read post #54 for the confirmation of this fact.

I get giddy when I see liberals quoting scripture. I can smell the desperation. Nothing quite like a black man who got successful using tried and true American capitalism, to scare the bejeepers out of the left.

Jesus was not a socialist. He was all about personal responsibility and making the right choices.

Eisenhower never held elective office prior to running for President.

Really it’s not a big deal.

Satire, friend, satire

unfortunately, lost on too many Cain defenders

No more battle of wits here, too many unarmed oppponents in the Cain camp

Bullshit. You got caught pimping a non-quote as a direct quote and now you are ducking under the cover of satire and shifting the blame to the stupidity of Cain folks.

At least one is unarmed and doesn't know how to hit spellchecker, nit wit.

If it were satire, you wouldn't have to explain it.

Friend.

How dare a capitalist CEO of a corporation do what’s right for the corporation (closing unprofitable stores and firing excess employees). He should have subsidized the unprofitable stores and kept the workers on, even if they were not needed. After all, everyone knows that a corporation only exists for the benefit of its employees. /s

“Get ready for an aberration of historic proportions” .... Herman Cain

Post #1

Yes, friend, what nitwit ever would have (mis)read THAT as a Cain quote?

Now, I really must get back to my other pimping ...

Obviously your missing the point. He LIED to them. Exactly the same way Ken Lay did to the Enron employees.

He told them a 3 hour lie? All you say is that he lied to them...why don’t you post the “lie” and allow us to judge for ourselves whether what you say is true?

"Asked about comments that no one lacking political experience could win the White House, including those made at Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball site (“A Cain nomination would be an aberration of historic proportions: American political parties typically don’t nominate people without previous officeholding experience for president.”), Cain pushed back.

What in the world are you talking about?

What the leftie said? I mentioned he/she was over the top. But the point is that Cain was big on claiming Jesus would not be for Gov. programs etc. The FACT is that Christ was not a politician and that Christ didn’t NEED a Gov. program to feed the poor or heal the sick. He was the Son of GOD and had the power to provide miracles. To use CHRIST as some sort of Political tool is WRONG. And forbidden in the Bible.

His logic that somehow Pilate was a LIB representing Big Government is illogical.

I think the last two were Eisenhower (General) and before him Wilkie (businessman)

Guess what, Marty60?

That’s what corporations do with unprofitable, underperforming stores. They close them and yes people lose their jobs.

We have a massive, bloated Federal bureaucracy and yes, people should lose their jobs as we downsize.

Don’t you get it? We WANT that, not someone who is going to grow government or maintain the status quo. IT’S NOT WORKING!!

Your propensity to quote lib hit pieces and apparently advocate a position that corporations and governments owe someone a living makes me think you’d be a great fit to go “occupy” something.

Your advocacy against Cain is backfiring. This is precisely why we like him!

Can. You. Even. Read?

Sabato posted that “A Cain nomination would be ‘an aberration of historic proportions’ “ and he agreed.

You’re trying to twist this into arrogance? Imagine that. A candidate who actually expects to win.

Would you rather he said “Sabato’s right I have no intention of winning and I’m just scamming all those people who are donating their hard earned money to my campaign”?

How stupid can you be?

He fell for a media trap on that Perry attack. By this article, it sounds like he may have learned his lesson. I like a fast learner.

No serious money donors and fundraisers would give him a penny. His money has to come from the RED MEAT crowds but it would not be enough for him to compete in the primaries let alone the general elections. A person who has not been elected to any government position before is not going to be nominated let alone be elected President. He appeals only to the RED MEAT crowd who only care about red meat bumper sticker rhetoric but there are not enough of them to give him the nomination let alone the Presidency.

I’m not going to do an analysis of Mormonism vs. Christianity for the sake of answering that.

Thereby acknowledging the distinction. Good for him.

they love my concrete, specific ideas about how we need to fix this economy and the other problems,” he said.

I don't love his 9-9-9 plan but it's great that he has a plan at all and realizes that the I.R.S. plan is totally out of whack.
