What took you so long? :P

Me, I’m thinking about putting up a yard sign now. We have to get the word out about Herman’s campaign.

Most blacks do not know Cain. They have heard that he is a traitor to the race and not much else. Let them get to know him after the primaries. I think a lot will prefer Herman. It’s still early.

It (Smear-gate) is now leaving the current news cycle, evaporating very quickly. It is being eclipsed by other news. They failed.

It bounced off him. He really dodged a bullet, but I am sure they learned some good PR lessons and damage control tips. They will get more of it but Cain and his staff will only get more skillful in deflecting it. The powers that be through their muckracking media megaphones are trying desperately to perpetuate and continue the smear, but there is clearly no "there" there, and by and large average people are tuning it out.

Now they have to think of something even more vicious and dangerous. I have no allusions of the kinds of interests we are up against with the man like Herman Cain walking point for us, someone who is not a product of this system nor owned by it.

Heck. He started out at 3% within the WHITE VOTE within the GOP and grew to these numbers. Anything is possible. I do know once he secures the nomination, Lord willing, he will precisely address that segment of Americans and a lot of deep seated Democrat, victimhood planation interests are NOT GOING TO LIKE IT ONE BIT.

———Only 3% of blacks like Cain.——

That is because they are slow on the uptake. That figure will rise once Cain is actually nominated.


Um, that is not very nice. But a lot of people of all stripes are not as focused on this race yet, and a lot are democrats so not voting in our primary. Middle class & higher blacks will not be 90% for Obama if they have Herman Cain as an alternative. Obama is not even an African American.

I think Cain can get some important Southern black votes. That would help in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. The northern and western blacks are a lost cause and locked up for barry. They have been busy voting dem for a generation while the illegals steam roll them and their communities. What a bunch of dim bulbs.

You know, I LOVE seeing that Cane (Cain) smack that communist symbol, over and over and over again via that .gif. LOL. Never a dull moment.

“Most blacks do not know Cain”

I’d say most whites don’t know him either. I can’t say for certain where he stands on the social and political issues.

I’d appreciate it if you could let me know.

He seems to be getting more polished. At first he seemed awkward in his presentation. Romney is very polished now, but I am put off by his try to get along with everyone stands on things.

Yea!


Now they have to think of something even more vicious and dangerous. I have no allusions of the kinds of interests we are up against with the man like Herman Cain walking point for us, someone who is not a product of this system nor owned by it.


They will come back with something. They will for one be practically wishing him dead; you know they will trot out some doctor who will swear Cain has only 2 years to live.

But there could be other things. Who knows who from his past, true or not, will be dredged up?

The most important thing to remember, if we want to choose our own conservative candidate, is to keep saying “So???”

When they say:
“this just in: we found this woman who says Herman Cain covered her in maple syrup and then ...”. “the top story to ight is that Herman. Cain once raped a dog...”. “Herman Cain defaced the Bible...”

We say:
“So???”

And we watch them lose!

Take away the leftist power! We can do it! When they try to control the story into “if Cain is guilty of this, he’s out” we need to turn the story to “if the media attacks Cain, we give Cain more money!”

It’s working so far!

“......the blacks still, predictably support Obama and the dems above the 90% level. Only 3% of blacks like Cain.
All that talk about blacks deserting Obama is just that... talk. They aren’t going anywhere.”


I could have told you that 2 years ago.

exactly...I use to shoot with a conservative talking black guy who got ticked off at me for suggesting that Obama was a Marxist...he emailed me that ‘I have to vote for the Brother’....well if there is a REAL brother up against this mulatto scum of a _resident...there will be more ‘conservative’ Blacks voting for Cain than zer0.

The “sex” scandle will help Mr. Cain with his name recognition and also help solidify his support among black people. Nothing gets people’s attention like a “sex” story. This is a good warm up for the general. Mr. Cain is used to speaking his mind without fear of the consequences; this slap before most of the public has been paying attention will help him be a more focussed and better candidate. Mr. Cain may not be a politician, but he is a very smart man and a quick learner. I can’t wait to see him debate Obama in the general.
