I don't think any of the republican candidates have what it takes to beat obama...
they're all either crazy (independent voters turned off)
or they're mormon (wrong religion for the base)
either way it will split the republican vote...

If Cain wins the Republican nomination he will be attacked by me as merely another regressive tax advocate.

If his tax plan is as regressive as I suspect it is, shouldn't it be considered class warfare?

Should voters consider Cain's experience running the National Restaurant Association a good thing or a bad thing? Millions of current and former restaurant workers might not be favorably impressed.

Reading the liberal posts on here is somewhat funny but sad. Cain won one straw poll and all of a sudden they go on the offensive attacking Cain. Then they talk about how Obama will be re-elected because of the poor quality of candidates the GOP is putting forward. Apparently they have either chosen to ignore the polls or, they are trying to spin them away. Right now, not only is Obama in trouble, but they will lose even more seats in both the house and senate. I honestly believe Obama would even lose to Joseph Stalin at this point. Please tell me, which is it? Or could it be that you really already know too....

Sad, isn't it?? Blacks seem to be the only people in America that are not allowed to have "conservatives" and "liberals".

You can't GET more Uncle Tom than Federal Reserve Board Chairman.

This Tom is everyone's deviant uncle.

Or, at least he is the Man From Uncle.

I was amused upon hearing Cain use "slavery" and "chains off back" in two consecutive sentences he made while speaking against "race card" and speaking of his 999 plan (which he doesn't have details for, just a cute name, or as Beck would call it... the upside down devil )

But, I have bookmarked this thread. It will be fun revisiting after all is said and done in republican-land. I sincerely hope this guy gets the republican ticket. There will make for quite an amusement. And I can't wait to ask my relative this weekend, who ALWAYS voted democrat until Obama got the nomination, on what he is going to do if two non-white guys were going at it...

You sure are shaking in your boots about this upcoming election. It's ok, you can tell us you're scared.
