Cain Nomination Would End GOP Race Issue Forever

I’m voting for them because they are the best candidate. Or I’m voting against them because they are the worst candidate.

Agreed, and I can give a number of reasons I support Cain. I like 999 (I know its not perfect, but it takes us in the right direction). He seems like the candidate most likely to veto gratuitous appropriations (although I doubt he would be as hardline on spending as I would like). I have the impression that Romney and Perry would both enjoy more pork barrel spending as long as they had a say in who gets it. Clarence Thomas is his favorite Justice and mine too.

That being said, there is a certain amount of schadenfreude in seeing Herman Cain nominated.

No, it would not

democrats will never let this issue go

never

It is too valuable a tool to keep Blacks on the democtay plantation, to assure them that the GOP is rasist

He was my second choice.

I don't bash Cain and never get personal. Cain is a personable man and very likeable but that means nothing to me.

Perry is as Conservative as Cain any day if not more.

[normy]

Why? I thought it was absurd for Colin Powell to endorse him. 3 years ago I would never have believed a black conservative would vote for Obama. I was seriously shocked.It troubled me greatly.

I no longer put it past anyone. The only black conservative I believe did not vote for Obama for sure would be Colonel West and Rev.Jesse Peterson

I wish that were true, but there will still be black activists who will claim that Cain got ‘his’, then turned his back on his black brothers and sisters. I heard a guy on Hannity’s show last week who was spouting that carp, and I’m sure, if Cain is nominated, that he’ll only get louder about it. Doesn’t make it true, but you KNOW the MSM will give this guy a forum.

That race has even been brought up on your post is offensive to me. Maybe I’d better find another forum to log onto.

Don't you think it's useful to know what journalists are saying about the candidates? I have no problem with Freepers posting articles with which I disagree. Race WILL be an issue, if Herman Cain is nominated, because the Democrats will make it so.

Reading others' opinions helps me to hone mine when I come up against someone who doesn't know if they want to vote for Obama again, and wants to know about the Republican candidates. By having as much info as possible, I can make a better argument for our eventual nominee, that will convince someone who may not be as conservative as I.

"Perry is as Conservative as Cain any day if not more."

Something you Perrywinkles refuse to learn is that just because you repeat a lie doesn't make it true.

Deroy Murdock should know what he's talking about when he mentions Ronald Reagan. He held an appointed job in the Reagan administration, so he does have some genuine conservative credentials.

His "slobbering love affair with Rooty-Toot" possibly had something to do with geography, since Murdock was based in New York at the time and was a columnist for the New York Post.

Good tagline!

Thanks. It was a line from a post I wrote a few months ago and someone suggested it would make a good tagline.
