Now, I see Cain as much darker skinned than Obama which has nothing to do with how I feel about him. I was just telling all that his skin is much darker and nothing else. I have hear Cain when he took over for Limbaugh sevral times and came to really like him then. Now I support him and don't care what color his skin is, but when I heard his speech when he came into the race the other night I heard him doing a better job of talking the talk than Obama ever has.

I won't waste time with a lot of names of people Obama surrounded himself with other than Sunstein and others like him. I won't even mention the name of the man who was an admitted communist and had to resign as the czar of green.
Roy...the guy started this thread with the idea of poking black folks in the eye. Now sure...i fell for the bait. I always will. I've said time and time again that i'm the same way online that i am offline...confrontational and extremely quick to respond at even the smallest slight when i spot it. I have never been the "bigger man" type, and i never will be. Backspace has a habit of playing this stupid racial game where he's vague enough to avoid the moderators, but obvious enough for folks like me to spot his bull. Truthfully, i find his posts to be thought provoking more often than not, but still, he gets out of line a lot (as i tend to do myself at times) and i aint lettin' it slide just like he doesn't when he thinks i've said something that goes over the precipice.

That said....

I've made it clear that Cain isn't a black conservative that i have a problem with. Not at all. Allen West? Now that's a different story. I've heard Cain on more than a few occasions, and i don't find his views objectionable. Or shall i say, no more objectionable than lets say....Mitch Daniels. Now he's a conservative, and i don't like right wing ideology. Not because i'm black, but because i'm a Roosevelt Democrat....or an Eisenhower Republican (if you prefer).

Herman Cain will make a great candidate perhaps. But at the end of the day, i can't vote for the guy even though i'll listen to what he has to say. He's going to align himself with guys like Bob Corker and Jeff Sessions. That's too much for me to stomach. Maybe he'll appeal to other blacks, but just not this one.

Most Repubs aren't wealthy either. Hell, not even close.

Oh really? Why?

This love of the black fetus and complete hostility (if not actual outright dislike) towards black folks that actually make it to term is quite puzzling.

I find this fascination to be very suspicious. I don't believe anyone gives a damn about black fetuses. I think that anti-abortion types see blacks as a strong potential ally in the fight against abortion, that's all. Then once abortion is outlawed in all cases, those black allies will be relegated to the place that they came from in the minds of their newfound "friends." A place called Irrelevantville.

Abe faced immense pushback, but in the end he worked out pretty well for us. Same is proving true for your friend, Obambi. Pretty impressed with his leadership so far.
Nope, Obama is not working out, except for those that like socialism and the government telling them how to act and what to do. Thinking individuals don't like obama, the puppet.

All that does is prove that being wealthy doesn't automatically equate with intelligence.

Sure, but if they're honest in their opposition to redistribution of wealth, they should oppose it in both directions.

I am sorry but your statement is completely untrue. Most of the wealthy are, in actuallity Democrats, which only proves that money does not equate with intelligence.

I haven't seen a thing you post that I could ever agree with. Palin is smarter than you by so much that it isn't even funny.
