This opportunist threw ALL of us under the bus yesterday pandering to the obams state media with the race card and gay victim card .
How long has this guy been a Repub ?
Did he support John Kerry or Bush in 2004 ?
Cain ran in the Republican Senate primaries in 2004. He’s been on the radio with solid conservatism. There are reasons not to support Cain for President, but not his commitment to our principles.
And Perry did with the last name flap, and Mitt did with.. everything he’s done, and Palin did with J.D., and Newt with Globull Warming, and Paul with Israel, etc.
Why don’t you research Herman Cain’s biography before knee-jerking to his ‘gotcha’ responses to the likes of Christiane Amanpoop.
Cain is obviously a man who treats people as if they were as honest and forthright as he. Many of us have experienced back-stabbing in the work place because we were too trusting.
I hope he reflects on how he’s being ‘played’ by the media. Smiling at him while dealing those ‘race cards’.
When the dust clears and people -- including Herman Cain -- find out what was actually written in the NYT article, yesterday's interview will be seen as the insignificant "gotcha" moment that it was. Perry's family did not paint "Niggerhead" on the big rock; it was already there. Perry's father took a hunting lease on the property and then painted over the offensive word and then turned the rock upside down. Good for him.
Herman Cain gave an honest answer to the question that was asked of him. In retrospect, his answer was not wise since he did not have all the information about the story -- just like most FR posters. Cain is an honorable man, and I have no doubt that he will correct the record based upon more complete information, and that he will learn from having been successfully ambushed by anti-GOP media which is seeking to destroy all viable GOP candidates.
As for Cain's GOP bona fides... Herman Cain has been a Republican a lot longer than Rick Perry, whom I like. He was a Reagan Republican, and gained prominence as a member of a commission when he publicly confronted then-President Clinton over a socialist initiative that would have been harmful to businesses. It was a principled Conservative rebuke that silenced the argument. Needless to say, Herman Cain did not support John Kerry in 2004.
“Did he support John Kerry or Bush in 2004 ?”
Nope, he was all in for Mutt Romney.
Right, well, he didn’t throw me under the bus, because I actually understand what insensitive means. Don’t be upset that Cain just whipped your candidate of choice. And to think that people on here said he’d pay the price...LOL.
he answered a question about a racial comment that you feel through everyone under the bus...
as if you speak for everyone... i thought he answered intelligently and responsibly. unlike perry who is pandering to try and save his presidential bid.

YES WE CAIN!
even if palin joins in
