If you won't defend yourself, no one else will....a lie told long enough and loud enough becomes truth...The idea of race is not one to be silenced because some are made uncomfortable about it...you hit it head on.
You can talk issues and at the same time defend yourself. Like you can walk and chew gum at the same time....you have set forth a program for defeat. It seems your saying just shut up and move on. Sometimes that's not the right answer...
Furthermore ....I don't tote the party line on anything for them...or anybody else... I make my own decisions. And Cain should not go there at this time with the race cards...and would be wise not to. He;s not compromising or appeasing anybody by not addressing it...he's being smart..as a good President would do and not get in the gutter with that.
Cain will do well as he's been doing...not playing where they want him to play...but staying on his own message..and he needs to continue doing so.
