[Grunthor]

Well I support him but on the “choice” remark...that’s gonna hurt him.

[C. Edmund Wright]

3 days from now, it won’t matter. In the meantime, it will cause some plusses and some minuses. The key is he does not see the government playing a role in these decisions, which is all that matters.

[ilovesarah2012]

I don’t think the homosexuals were gonna vote for Cain anyway. They’re racists, you know.

[babble-on]

At the margin, it helps in the primaries, hurts in the general.

[RIghtwardHo]

My gut says it would hurt, but as I think about it I don’t know if it will make a difference. People are already pretty much entrenched in these positions and I don’t konw that this changes any minds. I mean, did you think a liberal was going to vote for him anyway?

[umgud]

He wasn’t gonna get a large homo vote anyway.

[Lazlo in PA]

It will help his chances. Especially in the black community. If you ever want to find out the highest level of hatred for the gays, just get a couple of black guys started on the topic. That community is rabidly anti gay and anti gay marriage. Always surprises me considering how much they vote Rat.

[Tribune7]

It doesn’t hurt him with me :-)

[isthisnickcool]

Who cares? The queers may be 1.5% of the population.....

[Petrosius]

For me it helps him. I am tired of being harassed to accept homosexuality as normal and good. I am glad that there is finally one politician who has the nerve to stand up to the homosexual thugs and tell the truth. How few even self-proclaimed conservatives will take that risk.

[Vigilanteman]

Well, it will hurt his chances amount the 2% or 3% of the population which is homo and the 20% or so which can be cowed by the pink mafia. About 0.4% of this group would be inclined to vote for him anyway.

OTOH, among the 40% or so of us who really, really are fed up to gills with the pink mafia trying to redefine society for the other 97% or so of us who understand the difference between an exit and an entrance orifice, hearing the truth out of a candidate for public office is refreshing.

[Baynative]

There goes his liberal support.

... oh

[JimRed]

Cain was asked: "So you believe it's a choice?"

"I believe it is a choice," he responded.

If it was genetic, it would have been bred out millions of years ago, since they don't procreate.

[VoiceOfBruck]

It will give the media more ammo but guess what, they weren’t exactly planning on supporting him anyway.

Hurt or not, the truth will set you free.

[no dems]

Will it hurt him? No, most Americans believe as he does. But, I’m a Ronald Reagan-style Conservative and I’ve counseled many homosexuals who say: “I can remember having same sex attractions in Elementary School”. What do you say to that?

[wolfman23601]

I don’t think it will have an effect now, but the MSM will use it against him if/when he becomes a threat down the road.

[CelesteChristi]

The idea of choosing sexual orientation is absurd.

I’d like Mr. Cain to tell us about the day he chose his sexual orientation. That’s a big decision. I’m sure he remembers. Tell us about it. How did he decide? What precipitated the decision?

[DeaconRed]

Well he can forget Barney Fags vote. . . . . .

[Nea Wood]

He’s a Republican. Most gays and liberals wouldn’t vote for him on that basis alone.
