He may not have YOU, but he has the overwhelming majority of Palin supporters (and that includes me and innumerable FReepers). Time to lose the career politician fraud from Austin, La Raza Rick, and get on board the Cain Train !

Keep up those unfounded slanders on Cain, n00b, and you’re headed for ZOTville.

shield, I’m coming back to post a second time to you here because I wanted to clarify that I had actually written Cain off several days ago, and I haven’t had that Perry-Cain 2012 tag for a while even. I used to think Cain was conservative. Now I’m finding how he really stands, or maybe I should say he DOESN’T take a real political stand, and that bothers me. He’ll take PERSONAL stands, but never political ones. That concerns me very much. I’m GLAD I took him off my VP list a week or two ago!

The race card was just over the top for me too. And I had not heard Cain went on to make things even worse as he did just this past Wednesday. I can’t BELIEVE Cain had the gull to say he would support anyone else as the Republican candidate except he would not support Rick Perry 100%. I GUARANTEE you Rick Perry is more conservative than Herman Cain any day, and for Cain to say that was just disgraceful.

I mentioned the confusion that I thought Cain may have had between in-state tuition and border security / homeland security measures because I really did think he may have just been confused on the issue. Perhaps he is just trying to build on to the other problems he is trying to make for Rick Perry, but I know he is also just learning things, and he is always having to come back after he talks to someone to learn about something. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Cain say “I’ll need to get back with you on that one. I need to educate myself a little more on that, and then I’ll come back and answer your question.”

Apparently the other day he said something to the effect that he would never appoint a Muslim in his administration. Then he got flack. Then he came back and said he had spoken with his advisers and had learned he didn’t really mean “Muslims”, he meant “terrorists”. It sounded like he didn’t know the difference, but at least he was willing to say he spent some time “learning” and was willing to come back and admit he had to learn more about it.

If he becomes President of The United States of America, I hope he doesn’t make blunders like that out of the Oval Office. If we had blunders like that, we could have our entire nation at risk!

Well, I would have figured Cain would KNOW the difference between saying the word “Muslim” and saying the word “terrorist” in a political conversation, but apparently he didn’t and had to get the education on that.

I just thought that if Cain didn’t know the difference there, he might also not know the difference between the in-state tuition and border protection.

However, right before coming back here to post to you again, I had just read another FR thread that indicated the idea that Cain DOES know what border protection and homeland security measures are and that he is just trying to misrepresent the truth, misrepresenting Perry’s record. How DARE he do that when Governor Perry has spent so many years and has done so many things in his effort to keep our country safe. How DARE Cain do that!

I guess I should not be surprised Cain is doing those things. After all, Cain used the race bait card even with a fictitious story. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Anyway, I wanted to come back here and let you know I was not holding Cain up in any respectful position to be Perry’s VP candidate anyway after the race bait fiasco Cain caused, and also I’ve been having less and less respect for Cain as I learn he is not as conservative as I had thought before.

This is really something else now that he is continuing to make his situation worse by what he said this past Wednesday about supporting ANY of the other candidates for the GOP nomination but not supporting Perry 100% if Perry were to be the GOP nomination. I think I said this earlier, but I think that is just disgusting.

The fact he endorsed Mittens in '08 when he didn't need to endorse anyone made me start really looking at Cain. He is much worse than I had originally thought. He lied about Perry and that was the straw that broke the camels back for me.

You've have a very organized honest thought process, I wish others did.

There are many so-called ‘REAL’ conservatives here (on this forum). These so-called Conservatives are really zealots. People like them leave our judiciary in the balance and prey on a handful of issues, rather than the system at whole.

Granted there really are individuals we should target out of office...for being anti-conservative and really anti-republican REPUBLICAN candidates!? But we shouldn’t turn our back on our own. These individuals remind me of the disciples when Jesus was to be put on the cross. They’re there for support when the times are good, but they’ll turn their back on the cause when it’s not in their ‘interest’.

I don’t fully support the republican party in many respects, but I support the overall cause. I’m no traitor like they are...Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

They know who they are.

I think Rand Paul is a bit more balanced than his father, personally. But I don’t adopt the concept of NWO, etc....I think that is too tin foil’d of an idea to really make sense. In a world where there is hugely competitive powers at work of different national origin and goals...I just don’t see that view as plausible. If anything, I think the most powerful individuals are in China...at least for the time being.

I think the next judges in 2012 will shift America for generations. That will be my guiding goals in the most practical sense. But I suppose your a bit more of an idealist.

Frankly I don’t really care.
At this point I cannot and will not support any of the Republican candidates, they are all lackluster and underwhelming.
