Unfortunately, the Dhims have run all of the Zell Miller types out of their party many years ago.
The point is, we should understand the character of the person in question (in this case, Mrs. Cain).
So was GWB’s wife, and his daughters.
I'm pretty sure Mrs Bush was leaned democrat outside of presidential races. George W hinted at it himself.
Well she certainly won’t be getting my vote.
Course I wouldn’t have voted for Nancy Reagan either.
I know a number of old-timey Democrats, who just can’t wrap their minds around what the party has become. They still think it has room for conservative democrats.
Okay dear Dims, now vote for Cain since he has proven that he can get along with Dims.
So ???
Shes not running for POTUS
But Romney is...
and Romney has voted a few times for Democrats...
and endorsed Democrats against Republicans...
and donated to the election campaigns of Democrats...
Wheres the outcry ???
Black, female democrats for Cain... sounds like an asset in this election.
Ok so why should I believe the Newt of Nov and not the one of May? In May he thought it was a great idea NOW he thinks it is Unconstitutional?
Will the real Newt please stand up?

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Sunday that he strongly supports a federal mandate requiring citizens to buy health insurance – a position that has been rejected by many Republicans, including several who likely will be running against him for the Republican presidential nomination.
Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Gingrich told host David Gregory that he continues to advocate for a plan he first called for in the early 1990s as a Congressman, which requires every uninsured citizen to purchase or acquire health insurance.
Gregory played a clip of Gingrich speaking during an appearance on Meet the Press in October 1993:
“I am for people, individuals — exactly like automobile insurance — individuals having health insurance and being required to have health insurance. And I am prepared to vote for a voucher system which will give individuals, on a sliding scale, a government subsidy so we insure that everyone as individuals have health insurance.”
Gregory asked Gingrich if he would criticize GOP presidential rival Mitt Romney, whose “Romneycare” health program enacted during his time as Governor in Massachusetts mandated that all uninsured purchase health insurance.
Gingrich replied he would not make it an issue in the campaign and said he agreed with key aspects of Romneycare.
“I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay—help pay for health care,” Gingrich said, adding, “I’ve said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond ...”
Gingrich also admitted that his proposal is a “variation” of the individual mandate, a key component of the Obamacare legislation President Obama signed into law in 2010.
The position staked out by Gingrich appears to be at odds with leading conservative critics of Obamacare, who argue that the law requiring citizens to purchase a private insurance policy is not constitutional.
The Obama administration is currently facing three lawsuits arguing that the federal mandate is unconstitutional, including one filed by a coalition of 26 states.
The issue is on track for a Supreme Court decision in the summer of 2012, which would make it a likely hot-button topic heading into the elections.
Conservative GOP critics like Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli say the mandate is unconstitutional because although Congress can regulate commerce, it can’t require people to engage in a particular “economic activity” just because they live in the U.S.
Conservative judicial experts have also taken exception to the claim made by Gingrich and supporters of the Obamacare law that mandating health insurance is the same as the government requirement to purchase car insurance, noting that driving a car is a privilege provided by states and not a constitutional right.
Cucinelli says that “buying auto insurance is voluntary, since you are only required to purchase it if you choose to drive on public roads. But buying health insurance under the new federal law is not voluntary, as you are required to buy it just by virtue of the fact that you are breathing. The federal government has never before in history exercised its regulatory power to require someone to buy a product or service as a condition of residence in the United States.”
Gingrich, though, seemed to disagree with that notion on Sunday, though he was quick to point out the differences between his plan and the federal health law.
“In, in the first place, Obama basically is trying to replace the entire insurance system, creating state exchanges, building a Washington-based model, creating a federal system,” Gingrich told NBC’s David Gregory. “I believe all of us—and this is going to be a big debate—I believe all of us have a responsibility to help pay for healthcare …”
Romney has not come under fire for not disowning his health care plan, which has caused private health care insurance rates to skyrocket as patient services have declined in Massachusetts.
Gingrich’s position quickly came under fire from several conservative blogs on Sunday.
“He tried to distinguish his mandate from the Obama mandate, but with little success,” the American Federalist Journal wrote on Sunday.
“Sandbagging your fellow Republicans in Congress and offering tacit support for a key (unconstitutional) component of Obamacare is a very strange way to begin a run in a Republican primary. Not a strong start.”
The Wall Street Journal called Gingrich’s description of an ideal healthcare plan with mandates a “pretty good description of what the Democratic Congress passed into law last year.”
The Journal continued: “Beginning in 2014, most Americans who don’t have insurance will be required to pay a fee, with many, depending on income, getting subsidies to help buy coverage through state-based exchanges.”
The conservative website Red State said Gingrich “won’t exactly endear him to the Tea Party crowd or the reform minded movement sweeping the GOP.

Cain has peaked and knows it. He is now vetting himself. LOL! Apparently the Cain plan is to use his power over his supporters and the few millions they coughed up, to force himself onto the Romney ticket, or as he said, he wants to be Romney’s SOD! What a damn scam.
This is why having a real record and political experience in the field counts for far more than a smart mouth. We are suffering through Obama from nowhere now. Voters have no intention of doing that twice. It’s getting creepy.
While I don’t like Cain, this doesn’t alarm me in any way. Not everyone thinks out their politics thoroughly. Doesn’t mean nobody can fall in love with them.
Now if she says she’s pro-abortion (and she WILL be asked!) that would raise a red flag.
Meanwhile, it’s obvious the misledia is looking for an Achilles heel on Cain. It’s what predators do.
When Mrs. Cain runs for office, I’ll worry about her political party and her beliefs...
Mr.Cain's closest and most trusted adviser is Mrs.Cain. Okay. And she's a Democrat. Gotcha!
MNJohnnie is spreading lies again. It was proven last night your Newsmax link is misrepresenting truth (lies) and meant to smear but you continue to post it.
Watch these videos to hear truth http://nation.foxnews.com/newt-gingrich/2011/05/15/newt-shocks-conservatives
ALWAYS....ALWAYS look at the Spouse....they have TREMENDOUS sway over the candidate/politician and what they do and how they vote!!! NEVER vote for someone who has a Democrat spouse like I believe Laura Bush is......moderate maybe, but STILL a Democrat.
No thanks, I heard the same nonsense in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008.
Have no desire to repeated the same mistake yet again in 2012 with the next GOP old boy's club member.
Big Deal! I came from a whole family of Democrats who among hundreds of thousands of others voted for Reagan, and in time all became solid Republican. In 2012 I would welcome as many Democrats we can get to our side, just like in 1980.
Heavens no, this must mean Cain is a sellout or something. Why are politicians held accountable for the actions of other people?
Newt Gingrich partnered with Hillary Clinton on Healthcare in 2006.
Newt has not kept his vows to two wives, by his own admission. How can we trust him to keep his vows of "conservatism" to us?
