This was a republican gathering. I am not a republican; I am a conservative. I will only vote for a conservative. I hope the republicans are listening to that.
I left out a bit as Mr. Cain talked about his personal history and calling to the presidency. I'll go over that tomorrow, but I wanted to get this first bit out.
That speech is a good one... but he’s wearing it out.
Time for a new speech Herman... just trying to help!
Ping to the list!
When we left the event, there were SIX, just six, protestors on the corner. They informed us that Cain has already been bought by the tobacco lobbies. It put a sense of comedy to the close of the evening. The protestors were a grubby, scruffy sort.
It was the first time I had personally, up close and I did touch him ~ actually, he put his arm around me when we posed for a picture ~ heard the speech and I loved it.
bump.
Ben, please put me on the CAIN-TRAIN!
Onyx, thanks for pinging the list. It was so much fun last night. I was priviledged to be part of the meet-and-greet. We didn’t really have enough time to exchange more than just a few words. But I did get to tell him I’m a freeper for him and that my daughter is following his campaign. Then, I was able to hand him an invitation to him and his wife to attend that daughter’s wedding in December!
We don’t really expect him to attend but would be so honored and excited (at a wedding!) if he and Mrs. Cain could.
Excellent! Thank you.
Ha! What a surprise if he did show up.
“And the guy in there now does?” The audience broke into chortles of derision.
I love chortles of derision!
Hmm, the same stuff is coming out of the Ron Paul camp too...and the supporters match the types :-)
It could be. At first I thought they were occupy Huntsville types, but you’re probably correct. A whole entire six mustered out. I hope they froze their little ... off.
Thank you for posting this article.
“...is a man of integrity who keeps his word.”
Now THAT is one of the key REQUIREMENTS, in my book, for getting my vote for the office of President.
Smiling! He’s on us! I’ve met him too and got the chance to speak with him, but passed up the photos to let 4 older ladies who were behind me, get their pictures taken with him. They were so thrilled, I’m still happy I pulled them through to the front and center where I was stationed.
“Stupid people are ruining America.”
Can I get an AMEN ????
I look forward to the day that all Americans can see themselves, again, as brothers and sisters of good men and women, and realize that the only real difference is the one they put into their own heads.
He did get several “Amens”. Some of them were from me!
When Cain was leaving that event we were at (Tampa post debate candidate speeches) his publicist was trying to get him disengaged from the many people that wanted to talk to him.
When he finally broke free, I walked with him and asked him to sign my hat, which he did.
He mentioned as an aside how I waited for him to be leaving to engage him for a little howdy.
He's a good man.
Great report. Thanks.
