He's right - hope he's ready for the onslaught.

Herman Cain Insists Being Gay Is a 'Choice' and Homosexuality Is 'Sin'

Quote:
When Morgan posed the analogy that Cain's stance is similar to being told that he was born black, Cain responded: "You know that's not true. I was born black." He added that his race "doesn’t wash off."
This one irks me. The whole idea of linking the struggles of black people w/ the struggles of gay people is bogus.



Quote:
Cain also weighed in on the issue of abortion during his CNN interview Wednesday, stating that he believes life "begins at conception" and "under no circumstances" does he support abortion.

He tempered his statement by giving allowance to a woman's personal choice in deciding on whether to have an abortion: "The government shouldn't be trying to tell people everything to do, especially when it comes to social decisions they have to make."

I suppose you chose to be straight and if you wished you could go gay at any time. You just haven't found the right person yet.

And the government shouldn't tell people what they can do except to tell them they can't have an abortion. Cain doesn't even know what he thinks.

Seems Cain is stronger in economics than he is science. Failing grade Herman!

Cain obviously isn't smart enough to be President if he says something as stupid as being gay is a "choice".

Correct, and ten to one he doesn't "believe" in evolution either!

Well actually Herman Cain's confused and not sure what the question was, so he's actually not sure if he's pro life or pro choice. In true Establishment type fashion he probably wishes he could be both.

Oh and he also might be breaking the law:

Quote:
Is Herman Cain breaking the law? Bloomberg asked Bill Allison, of the electoral watchdog group the Sunlight, Foundation, if the transactions deserve further investigation. “All candidates publish books and they offer them as premiums to donors, but most candidates aren’t buying them from their own companies,” he said. “It raises the question of his campaign contributions ending up in his own pocket.” Making a profit from your campaign is a no-no.
I can’t remember a recent case where the candidate was so brazenly putting money directly in his own pocket. Even that dipsy-doodle Christine O’Donnell was using it to pay her rent. Cain deliberately created a strategy to turn donations into cash. Diverting campaign donations directly into one’s bank accounts represents a whole new level of audaciousness.
Is Herman Cain unaware of the law? And what happened to that resident agent guy? THE New Voice, Inc. has always listed only two corporate officers, Herman and Gloria Cain. But since its founding in 2004 and up until 2011, it listed Stefan Passantino as its resident agent. Passantino is the Washington, DC Partner for McKenna, Long and Aldridge, the firm that filed THE New Voice Inc.’s original incorporation. And yes, it’s unusual for a large-firm partner to be anyone’s resident agent.
Passantino, however, is not your ordinary business lawyer. It turns out he’s the “head of McKenna Long & Aldridge’s Political Law Team.” According to the company website, he specializes in “state and federal election law, campaign finance, pay-to-play and lobbying laws, and ethics issues.” Not your typical resident agent. So why, after serving Cain’s company for six years, did he disappear from corporate filings just before Cain started running for office? Did this election law expert see something that caused concern? Certainly, insider dealing would raise red flags, wouldn’t it?
I smell a RICO case, you crazy Herman Cain’s. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. All of you.
Unraveling Herman Cain

Well the Herman Cain bubble was pure torture, but thankfully it appears to be near deflating.

Why can't people have an opinion on homosexuality anymore? Is everyone supposed to accept it and if they aren't, they are bigots SOBs?

Let the guy believe what he wants to believe. Just like some of you are for it and expect people to respect your opinion, so does he...and everyone who thinks like him.

When his opinion affects my personal rights, I will stand up to it every chance I get. You better 'believe' that!

I'm sure it 'irked' a few white folks in Montgomery when Rosa Parks showed that their 'opinions' on her civil rights were not going to be tolerated.
