Yea, he wants to *drop it* because it cost him a lot of support the past couple of days. Sorry, I ain’t buying it, he showed us a glimmer of what can be a huge flaw, pandering to the gays, playing the race card and attacking his fellow repubs. Seems to me he was trying to gain some *street cred* with the race card, and that to me is a fatal error that I cannot forgive. Obama is the enemy, let’s see him attack him with such fervor as he shows for his own party.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Not buying either . Flip flop back flip backpedal on this and too many other issues / statements .
Free Republic needs a setting for political threads during the campaign for the nomination that prevents newbies from posting.
When Herman found out about it, that the Perry's actually painted over the rock on Hannity, he indicated that in that case he applauded what the Perry's did and realized he had been baited by the press.
I believe he should have told the reporter that he would check into it and call Rick Perry himself before responding. I believe now he owes Rick Perry and apology.
We shall see.
But, when it comes to conservative principles and his stand on the issues...outside of Sarah Palin getting into the race, I like what Cain has stood for, his life story, and his current stance on the issues good enough for him to have my support in the primaries.
I believe he, or Perry, or Gingrich, or Romney, of Bachman...and of course Palin too...can beat Obama and will vote for the one who wins the nomination. As of now, I'll support Cain unless I see something much more serious than this to detract from the message he brings and the momentum he is building.
