Off subject: My sister and I both are helping raise grandsons whose fathers have abandoned them. That was unheard of when I was being raised.
You know, just because YOU post this, doesn't make it true.
If you like Cain, go vote for him. In the meantime, you would do better service to him by advancing his positive qualities.
Rick Perry is conservative. You just have decided the jump on the train.
Maybe if you can figure out what Cain's positions really are, you can actually sell him. But like Romney, they seem to change with whoever he is speaking to.
I’ll bet you remember what your Mom told you. Mine used to say “you have it so much easier than we did”.
By that she meant she really did walk to school, had chores on the farm, washed clothes by hand and no TV or radio.
We are telling our children how sorry we are that we failed to see the barbarians at the gate - BECAUSE THEY WERE INSIDE THE DAMN GATES!!!!!!
LOL. Oh that would go over really big with those living on the border. Esp the ranchers. Not gonna happen.
Absolutely. The old...I have seen the enemy..and the enemy is us. How did we get here from there?
You will have to give me a link for that one...and the context...
It should not be difficult to find. It was the second time he said it and someone asked him to clarify his comment. He specified the voltage would be fatal.
He also said they would be posted with signs warning of their lethality.
I have NO problem with an electrified fence. But then, I’m from New York. I’d settle for a minefield.
Perry’s positions during elections are not the problem. Perry’s actions while not currently running are why I do not consider him a conservative and why I cannot support him.
You made me laugh. My neighbor is from Jersey. She would agree with you. And she is in her 80’s. I love New Yorkers...and people from NJ
**That was unheard of when I was being raised**
I believe we may have just stumbled on a scientific measure for the decline of Western Society;
When we realize we are worse off than our predecessors and it has nothing to do with material wealth - but more to do with spiritual poverty.
Pray, and pray again DallasSun.
God bless
Funny. My neighbor is from New Jersey and would agree with you. And she is in her 80’s. I love New Yorkers and people from NJ
Yes he said that as a joke, not a good joke I admit...I guess you also believed President Reagan had ordered Russia outlawed and bombed?
I do sodpoodle. And my words in my prayers for my grandson are all shaped like tears.
Cain is both the Anti-Romney and the Anti-Perry.
If say...Jan Brewer were two jump in it could be a two horse race on the conservative side. As things are, he is the only choice.
Yes, and when Reagan said that, he did not realize the microphone was on. Look it up.
Cain has publicly stated he'd electrify the fence, then came out during the debate apologized and said "Americans need to get a sense of humor."
Then over the weekend to a small crowd in TN, said the same thing. While on Meet the Press, he parroted Perry's plan.
The next day, again Cain came out and called the electricfied fence a joke. Although, many still are salivating over an electric fence and believe he meant it.
Cain reels the crowd in with what they want to hear. Then he gets on national tv and says, oh that was just a joke. It's horse manure.
Reagan had integrity and was sincere when he spoke. I saw him in person, and never missed one of his speeches. His humor was clearly that. As Reagan would have phrased it, Mr. Cain is no Ronald Reagan.
He only said it was a joke when he realized it was not well received. Another problem. You believe that? Have the courage of your convictions. Do not try to weasel out of it. Stand up for what you believe. And the Reagan analogy does not work ..sorry.
Well said.
Not comparing...just making the point...listen to everything they all have to say, dont rule out anyone based on a single comment, dont rule out anyone until the end cause it aint over till its over, when its time to vote make your decision and just vote. Whatever the outcome, get that arrogant, America-hating, coke smoking, communist/fascist, post turtle out of our house.
