Cain can’t be destroyed by anyone else, only Cain can destroy Cain, and it would have to be something devastating like pictures of him with a boy or something. Seriously, nothing short of that could derail Cain at this point.

Having no record has it’s advantages, all Cain needs to do is always default to the most conservative answer when asked any question and he cake walks it to the nomination.

God bless Herman Cain! He’s his own self and he’s doing great!

No professional, know-it-all handlers!

Tea Party conservative see that and we like him! A lot.

I notice that now Herman Cain has the corrupt Beltway pundits against him. What took ‘em so long? LOL

Screw them and the old nag-rags they ride on and write for.

Herman Cain has a lot of “the folks” behind him and we’re going to vote, you betcha.

Some Texan voiced earlier Texans did not want to loose Perry..in fact they would back another Repub for president. The Repub that would replace Perry up against a Democrat is accused of being way too Liberal. I just remember that one statement from a caller..don't need to fix Texas, it is not borken scenario.

They are happy just as they are..while the rest of the states are pleading poverty and business won't settle where they are. They like their separation--everything is bigger and richer in Texas. Texans are proud to live in Texas. They are proud to fly the American flag, drive Big SUV's and fast cars; and have no problem having framed photos with George Bush displayed on the wall. Even to the extent of proudly announcing The Bush Family lives nearby.

States if run right can pretend the rest of the country does not exist... limited isolationism on the state level.

No he didn’t. He didn’t say one single word about Cain. What do you think was an attack on Cain?

The Prime Directive is for all the Republican Candidates to destroy one another so that we can move to Capitalistic Conservative Anarchy. Our goal in November in 2012 is to vote “NONE OF THE ABOVE”. They are all corrupt!!!!!!!!!!

“Perry is in Kamikaze mode, but his target is Romney.”

If that were true, Perry would be campaigning in New Hampshire instead of Iowa.

But what we hear is that he is putting together a strike force in a state where Romney is not even competing.

Make no mistake, Perry is out to destroy Herman Cain.

Perry’s record in TX says otherwise—at least he has a record.

Yeah, Gardisil, smooching the illegals, TTC...

When I see Perry look at Romney I see seething hatred in his eyes, I just don't see him suddenly dropping the vendetta against Romney to focus all his energy on attacking Cain, who you can clearly see he honestly likes.

That doesn't mean Perry wont take a pot shot at Cain every now and then when given the opportunity, but I can't see him ever going after Cain with the same venom he has been going after Romney. With Romney, it's personal.

“So he jumped on board with his own plan, backed by a long-time respected flat tax advocate (Forbes). It’s his only shot.”

Too late. No one likes wanker political promises made on the fly.

Perry Challenges Cain on Abortion

Cain’s rise in the polls — and his comments to CNN that put his position against abortion in doubt — made him a target on the stage. Texas Gov. Rick Perry took a swipe at him, although he did not refer directly to the interview, in which Cain said that families should be able to abort a pregnancy in instances of incest and rape.

“It is a liberal canard to say, ‘I am personally pro-life, but government should stay out of that decision,’ ” Perry said. “That is not pro-life. That is pro-having-your-cake-and-eating-it-too.”

********************************************

Now even though Cain said NO SUCH THING, both perry and santorum attacked him as if he had.

Almost every article written called it perry's "parting shot" at Herman Cain.
