If that's true it's because they have been sold the lie that democrats care about them. The truth is, the goal of democrats is to keep the black community down by making them dependent on the government. It's the "don't bite the hand that feeds you" mentality.

What Herman Cain is trying to get the black community to see, is that they don't need the government to hold them back any longer. Anyone can work hard and get an education like he did and achieve the American dream.

Nope. As far as black communities go, the Democratic party is the party hat stands for small business, self-sufficiency, and the like. The Republican party steadfastly refuses to campaign at so much as city council level, so they have no message at all.

Herman Cain is basically the same as other republicans - he isn't trying to get black people to see anything, because he simply isn't talking to black people at all.

Or at least, I hope he isn't. "Vote for me, you brainwashed plantation slave" is an incredibly weak pitch, especially if you're running against Obama.

Lets face it African Americans have always had a problem with African American Republicans. Maybe one day a "Great Black Hope" will come for the Republican Party but Cain is not it. Cain came into the spot light as Mr. 9-9-9, "Koch Brother from another mother," and Leader not a Reader. Black politicians who shuck and jive are a turn off to main stream black America.
Barack Obama is pretty typical of African American politicians who rise to the top. Colin Powell, Condelezza, and Ron Brown also come to mind.

Yeah, one would think a man with such a deep resume in the business world would know the first rule of selling things is don't insult a potential customer base.

You said, "Democratic party is the party that stands for small business, self-sufficiency, and the like." That's a joke.

You fail to understand what quotations marks are for. They are to be used for quotes. You should be a journalist. You would fit right in.

I wonder why Cain's Church affiliation hasn't been an issue . Wiki describes it as "Liberal Activist" Obama had to cut ties with his Liberal Activist Church.

..Really? Another random teleprompter joke?

You know, even if you're right, it's still stupid.

What about the women vote? All that groping he's done in the past might bite him in the rear.

No he wasn't. He was referring his inability to answer the Libya question a couple days earlier, it had nothing to do with a teleprompter.
