Since I am an actual Cain supporter, not a fake Cain “supporter” who has not actually supported him, I can say that I am not too concerned about his poor response to the race baiting. He could have done better, but nobody is perfect. For the Perry supporters who have a legitimate beef, I am sorry. But Cain is a better canididate. To the Palin supporters, stop trashing the other candidates while you wait for yours. Did I miss anybody? I don’t think so. I am also a Bachmann supporter but I gave to her congressional campaign and specifically not to her presidential campaign.

He said the “stated policy” of the Tea Party “is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term,”...

Aw, come on Morgan. Even you aren't stupid enough to jump from point A as stated above to point M where you assert it's because of his race. Face it: Obozo is in way over his head and doesn't have a clue what to do to right this economic ship. It's time for him to go, not because of his race, but because he can't do the job he's supposed to do...period!

I love it that Cain is gaining momentum, because I love his ideas. The “9-9-9” plan is great- not perfect, but 100000000% better than what we have now.

The fact that he is black and will drive the libtards crazy trying to explain how that makes us racist is just icing on the cake.

I like Herman Cain. I just question whether he is ready to be POTUS. His personality is great, his business experience significant and just the fact that he is doing so well dispels any myths about race and conservatives. I wish he would quit bashing other conservatives (the thing about the Perry camp that Perry did not own is silly and the ‘I should have said something when people booed the gay solder’) appear to come from a man who will say anything to win (sadly, won’t most them?).
He did poorly in his run for Senator from Georgia and has held no elective office - though he tried. We currently have a painful demonstration of a President who is unqualified for the position. I do not want to see that again. I am still in the undecided camp and will support any Republican over Obama. What I really fear — Republicans will get into foxholes over their favorite candidate and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If Cain makes it to the general election as the republican candidate, democrats will describe as an Uncle Tom and a traitor to blacks and other minorities.

They’ll for surely be pointing at the failure to nominate Cain as further proof of the racist republicans.

With democrats, it’s always a catch-22. The only way to ever be right by them is to support whatever they stand for, no matter how damaging or idiotic.

I had the pleasure of voting for Herman Cain for senate and would love for him to go all the way to the White House.

They’ve tried to denigrate him as a pizza man, but the fact that he’s been a very successful CEO of several companies, and he knows the importance of surrounding himself with others who make up for knowledge and skills that he lacks, is a huge plus for me...unlike bo, who has surrounded himself with a sorry ship of fools to the detriment of us all.

The GOP establishment is going BALLISTIC over the possibility that Cain or Perry might win the primary.

I am convinced that THEY are REALLY the reason Christie may run. Like Romney, he is one of them, they can trust him, and continue down the road of pablum-fed pseudoconservatism which the Bush Klan established, and teh Rockefeller bunch espoused years ago.

Romney can’t compete wit Cain or Perry at this point, so they are writting him off.

He's always talking about race and his roots like it gives him some special privilege - so his poor response is no surprise but a confirmation to those who choose not to be blinded by a candidate.

That’s fine, don’t be blinded. But at some point you have to choose from your choices (exception is Palin and I don’t rule out changing my support to her).

That’s the problem - we should not be trying to be right with them! They are getting suckered in to prove we aren’t racists. It is pathetic to watch and Cain is taking advantage of it to the hilt, IMO!

We act like the commie rats ever say anything that is true - so we have to set them straight on this one issue! Dumb move walking into the trap. Wonder what happened to IGNORE them and take care of our business of nominating our best candidate - not one to prove a point.

I’ve not seen Cain bring up race before this Perry incident (a mistake on his part). I hope he steers clear of it in the future, he’s a good candidate for lots of reasons, and race isn’t one of them.

When the name calling starts by the libtards, everyone should ask them to prove their assertions instead of playing defense.

I’m wondering if Cain is colorblind...or a great pretender.

I’m not blinded and I don’t rush to support. With all these lefty polls - it’s a liberal tactic to push this thing and make the process longer than it should be and causing strife. Let the candidates do their thing - in the end we will see if there is any cream that raises to the top. I’ve seen many jump to support a candidate before they really know much about him and then give passes left and right for that candidate w/the ‘no one is perfect’ because they have locked themselves into this candidate. And that’s just what the left wanted all along - get locked into a candidate and ignore what they could have seen with ‘open impartial eyes’. With ‘loyal eyes’ one always gives out ‘no one is perfect’ passes.

BINGO! That is what leaders do - prove it or shove it. But seems some voters don’t come from a leaders position - they jump through the hoops that were deliberately created for them - to prove them wrong. Pathetic to watch!

Be careful. The Cain acolytes will be all over you for daring to suggest there may be a chink in their candidate.

I have your same concern about foxholes. Even though I keep a table of candidate positions on each of several items I’m accused, out-of-hand, for not knowing anything about the candidates I question.
