I have always loved and respected Morgan Freeman as an actor, however, his statement about the Republican's being racists, was illogical. I voted for Obama, I'm an Independent, and I do not like what he's done to this country as President...that doesn't make me a racist...I didn't like Clinton, but that doesn't make me a racist, and I really disliked Bush, but that doesn't make me a racist. This name calling b/c you don't like Obama, is absolutely primitive and ridiculous.

Right now, I love Herman Cain, and I'm listening to every word he says, he's got my interest...does that make me a racist?

Morgan Freeman, with all due respect, I gotta tell you, honestly, your a great actor, and I have always followed you, however, after you made that statement, I've got to say, I'm no longer a fan and I was shocked that you would label all republican's racists...literally shocked. That's like saying, all American's are bad parents...or all American's are bad people...and so illogical....it's remarks like that that divides people...yes, there are some racists, I'll agree, but there are many more who are not...and choose or dislike someone for they're character, they're track record, for they're job performance, period.

Herman Cain, too, is an actor, but not the kind I enjoy watching.

Freeman is a racist for supporting a half white candidate over Cain. Either than or a U-T. Can't figure out which.

Cain is a bad actor. A good actor makes you believe the character he is playing.

well guys, Herman Cain has my attention, I do like his 999 plan, at least someone recognizes that we've got to get companies back in the states, and also, we've got to start manufacturing our own products...that is what will make this country successful again....

and as far as Herman Cain is concerned...I've got my eye on him....

I'm sick to death of all these candidates who lean toward the WTO, and all they're power, who are simply puppets for the World Trade Organization...

If he'd ever said anything of substance, and meant it, I'd of heard it.

Just talking different ain't a gonna cut it.

He's not talking different, did you read his 9 9 9 plan?

Every candidate on the face of this earth talked a good talk, but when it came down to it, they can't walk the walk....why? Because they are controlled by the WTO

You could actually use that quote of yours on Obama. I'll take Herman Cain and his 999 plan against Obama's "P### off the job creators even more by hiking taxes plan anyday." If I wanted to live by the rules of the Obummer administration, I'd move to Western Europe.

Herman Cain is consistent, has been. You may not agree with his stands, but to call him an actor is factually incorrect. Google Herman Cain and Bill Clinton. You'll find a you tube of a 1994 healthcare exchange between then President Clinton and Mr Cain.

Now, the great poser on the other hand...

It's all they have.

Because his policies have been an abysmal failure, they have to use the race card to explain away the dissatisfaction with the guy, even though when he started out he had a 70% approval ratings. I'm sure some of those they are now calling racist were included in that 70%.

They can't run on his record and those great legislative victories that were touted.
