I think you are right and I speak as a former Palin supporter.

I really, really liked Palin and, golly, if I had the time back I spent defending her and praising her I could do something useful, like sort the wash.

I’m disillusioned about her now. I still like her but in a more detached way. Her endorsement won’t sway me as it once would have.

Maybe the reason I didn’t switch to Cain like so many Palin supporters did, is because I already had my back-up candidate after Perry declared.

Cuz I’m a Texan and have known, loved, gotten mad at, but appreciated the job he’s done here.

Altura, you are in top form today! Hang right in there.
I believe Rick’s willingness to rumble with the Left, and all the now institutionalized Marxists in power, is starting to get out and will give us some traction against the all too civil Cain and Romney. No namby pamby compromisin’ with Rick on that point, but clear and in-your-face. Cain on rumbling with anyone? Question mark. Big question mark. ?????????????

I don’t believe you’ve seen me say that.

At the risk of the ire of Jim Thompson, I’d even vote for Romney if he’s what we end up left with.

I agree with his small forays into protectionism.

I’ll vote, and I’ll vote GOP. Until then, I’m all partisan.

"The way he’s handled the non-scandal has been awful."

Have YOU ever been falsly accused of something you didn't do?

I have!

It's not a fun place to be.

Cain handled it just like an innocent man.

If he had been smooth and perfect, he would have been criticized for being too slick.

We as conservatives are living in uncharted territory.

If Cain is for real, he has the opportunity to destroy the modern Democrat Party coalition.

My gut tells me he's an honest patriot.

I will not accept voting for the status quo.

Time for some altering and abolishing......and Cain is the man to do it!

ROFL you have a way with words.

How about a deal? We agree to disagree, but whichever of our candidates wins, we’ll agree to then agree.

(I don’t have so much a way with words, sorry)

:D

Not just your opinion. Mine as well. Word for word.

Uh-oh, does that make me a plagarist? ;-)

Perry IS the only one who mentioned Bolton for his cabinet.

Bolton is pro Gay Military as well, might be a reason to rethink your worship of Bolton.

"Herman Cain flunks foreign policy "

It was a 1-question test: Do you support the continued existence of Israel?

Hey, I was there with you.

Were you? I was juggling the debate and some intense high-end ebay auction at that hour, and then the bees started swarming because I remarked that Cain was at a loss for words (You go first Newt!).

I will remember you now, Venerable Freeper Number 33.

:)

" Slow day on the Perry threads, isn’t it?... "

Yeah, they have nothing to really cheer for, so they come on the Cain treads since they are bored and make like miserable for everyone...
It seems, the only thing that Rick Perry is taking a wrecking ball to is his own campaign.. it must suck being a loser like him.

But Obama had no foreign policy experience either when he ran for President.

That's silly. Unlike Cain, Obama studied up on foreign policy. Also, unlike Cain, Obama had opportunities to vote on bills related to foreign policy so was exposed to some issues.

There's very little evidence Cain is studying hard, particularly on foreign policy.

A man no one could accuse of being anything but conservative, Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, ...

Oh yea, for sure, Bill O'Reilly -- the conservative!

That quote you pull, "China’s build up of nuclear," is not inconsistent with a view that China lacks nuclear capability.

Supposedly Cain wrote in one book about experience of doing math for the Navy on China's nuclear weapon delivery capability. If this is so, why is the campaign doing nothing to fight the "false" impression?
