Your boy Newt the Genius put his foot in mouth again, so you crawl right back to the Cain-hate gutter. After lying and saying you haven't talked Cain in a while, just Newt. Uh huh - soon as your "genius" put his little foot in big mouth it's hey look at the stupid black guy over there running for prez.

As always you are transparent and pathetic

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

LOVE IT!

This has been brought up before in an attempt to slam Cain. Cain was on the board committee for exec compensation, he had no part in the retirement benefits fiasco at Aquila. Other board members, possibly, but not Cain.

If $10,500 and $12,500 are Cain’s biggest sources of campaign cash, small donors must be making up the rest.

Aquila was one of many energy companies that took it in the shorts after the bubble burst. Cain sitting on the board is no big deal. It isn't like he was the CEO.

I’ve heard that two of their largest contributors are people on this thread...over30withabrain and BlackFemaleArmyCaptain

Of course, people over 30 and/or smart always gravitate toward the Conservative side.

And who do you like?
More importantly, where does your candidate stand on SCOTUS? ?
You do realize this election is all about jobs as #2 and SCOTUS as #1?

[hinckley buzzard]

I want to see the Godfathers numbers. They aint exactly #1.

Cain has not been CEO of Godfathers since 1996, fifteen years ago. Just what numbers do you want to see, and for what point?

[hinckley buzzard]

a guy who has no business running for President since he pledged not to secure our borders.

You really should stop posting falsehoods, and educate yourself by reading Newt's ten point plan for ending the illegal immigration problem. Pay particular note to step one.

Mr Cain is always shouting his record at Godfathers, Let’s see the numbers.

[mkjessup]

Any dipsh*t who has to go back six months for a lame hit piece from the Daily Beast no less, needs a cranial enema.

Give your head a shake, and if you have any honor at all, offer an apology for posting this crap.

[HiTech RedNeck]

A dotcom bust. I wonder if Cain raised (heh heh, no pun intended) objections but was overruled, so “did the best he could.”

[HiTech RedNeck]

They’re still alive, http://www.godfathers.com a pizza you can’t refuse :-). Their menu is pretty spartan compared to that of a lot of fast food outlets, and offering too wide a variety might have been a problem when they were floundering. Never ate any, can’t vouch for its quality.

They make a rice flour pizza.

Yuck.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Might or might not be yuck, sounds like an innovative answer to the gluten-free crowd. I’ve had some pretty decent rice flour crisps and that concept might have transferred well to the pizza dough. I bet it’s not hand thrown there, though — probably machine made.

[goldstategop]

Falsehoods, huh? I guess you haven’t followed what he said in the debate.

[mylife]

I want hand thrown flour based Pizza crust, and I want the veg under the cheese and the meat on the top.

Did I mention garlic? I want lots of garlic in the sauce, and a some red pepper flakes for zing.

I want a crust, so damn good that you want to dip it in olive oil infused with red peppers and eat it by itself.

[mylife]

I'm picky about pizza ☺

[HiTech RedNeck]

Why not visit a Godfathers and ask for just that — with the rice flour option.

Olive oils vary widely, with the costliest not necessarily being the goodest. Most places have red pepper flake shakers.

[mylife]

Because I cant find one in a 200 mi radius of anyplace I visit.
