Herman Cain leaving the campaign trail: Why now?

For about the millionth time, Herman’s answered the question regarding Perry’s lodge on virtually every show/network. He said he absolutely doesn’t think Perry’s a racist, nor did he ever intend to imply that - just that the N word is insensitive and he questions why the sign wasn’t painted over many years earlier than it was.

This tempest in a teapot is (IMHO) just another attempt by the DBM to create a distraction from the real issues and try pitting the GOP candidates against one another or discredit the frontrunners to the public, and it’s not working.

No, young people are less dependent on government.

Young people support Ron Paul.

Old people don’t want change, Romneyperry does not mean any kind of change at all. Old people just want their government checks to keep coming, and Ron Paul worries them.

There really isn’t any debate about that. I’m suprised that you didn’t get that memo.

The defense industries take the taxpayers money and spend it. Old people don’t care as long as everything pretty much stays the same.

Young people understand they’re getting ripped off. They support Ron Paul.

Women like government more than men. Women want government to take care of them. Men do not. Ron Paul is more popular with men than women.

The people who do not like government and want less of it are Ron Paul supporters.

“No, young people are less dependent on government.”

I didn’t mean young people feel dependent on government - their generation, more than any other, IS dependent (for a much longer time) on Mom and Dad. They feel entitled in many ways - large numbers still live at home (rent-free) even as adults. And thanks to government/Obamacare, they can now stay on Mom and Dad’s health insurance until well after college (age 26).
