Herman Cain: Yes, My Wife is a Democrat
TPM ^ | 11/08/2011 | Evan McMorris-Santoro

Posted on 11/12/2011 7:26:52 AM PST by katiedidit1

Here’s what we learned from Herman Cain’s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night: sexual harassment allegations can be funny and the elusive Mrs. Cain is, in fact, a Democrat.

“My wife is a Democrat, but that doesn’t mean that’s how she votes all the time,” Cain told Kimmel.

Not much is known about Gloria Cain, the Republican presidential frontrunner’s wife of 43 years. We were supposed to meet her recently, but the Cain campaign abruptly canceled a planned appearance on Fox News. Last week, the Atlanta Journal Constitution profiled Gloria Cain and discovered that not only is she a Democrat, but that she “has voted in Democratic primaries and runoffs numerous times since 2000 — including the 2008 presidential primary that Barack Obama won with 66 percent of the vote, according to local voting records.”

You’ve posted this crap at least 10 times on this thread.

You’d think the THICK-HEADS supporting Newt would get it by now...LOL.

My family is mostly democrat as well. I know one of my moderate liberal uncles is looking at Cain from the standpoint of a successful businessman.

Cain is not really a conservative on a few things, and an unknown on others. I don’t trust the guy (at least with the others, no one else trusts them either).

Pathetic attempt to draw her out? she will be first lady. We know what MOOCHELLE has done and not necessarily talking about her vacations. Her inane attempt to control what we feed our kids; we know Hillary and we got a 2 for 1 in that deal; Laura Bush and the failed “No Kid Left Behind” which hurt education; Nancy Reagan’s “just say no to drugs” and etc. YES, 1st Ladies have an impact. Sorry but Gloria Cain is a full blown liberal.

Very sorry about her health issues and Cain’s former health issues...but the Obama’s attended a liberal church too.

Good grief! I think Cain, in a lot of ways, has let us know that he is a democrat, too.

“On another level - it’s a disconnect.
I could not be married to a Democrat. Just couldn’t. It’s more than politics - it’s an entirely different world and national view of everything.”

Exactly.

There are a few things about Cain that do not hold water.

Besides, Cain’s answer for everything is “999”, and 999 will never pass Congress, and if it did 999 will never work.

” Have no desire to repeated the same mistake yet again in 2012 with the next GOP old boy’s club member.” <<<

NO? You prefer to make the mistake of 2008. Oratory over substance. It shows. We’ve already been there too. Community organizing and motivational speaking without a record is a big sell for a lot of voters. Hello, there.

Yeah that's what I said but I also used the word "Cowards".

Reagan was a Democrat until he wasn’t.

There is a 999 and a 909 now. However, he would never be able to get 2/3rds majority in the senate to get it passed

The only candidates who seem to be trustworthy, AND consistent, are Ron Paul and Michelle Backmann.

Bush one was antiabortion and Barbra was less so. I think the same was for Mrs. Reagan.

Sorry ladies, but IMO women by far vote for more liberal politicians, causes, bonds than men do. It is an issue IMO, but how do you change this?

Still stuck on Perry?

Dude, give it a rest. Perry is history, we know that. It’s time to start backing someone and giving us reasons to support that candidate. And I am sure you will.

You can start by explaining why Cain supported Affirmative Action and Tarp.

It is starting to make sense why Cain keeps his wife from speaking out.
