Cain Endorses
The Corner ^ | 1/19/2012 | Katrina Trinko

Charleston, S.C. — Speaking at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Herman Cain just announced his presidential endorsement.

After saying that it would not please the media (but it would please the American people), Cain said he was not endorsing a candidate, but instead, would endorse “we the people.”

He tipped his hand on Hannity a few weeks ago. As much as said it would not be for any one candidate.

He probably just made sure Hannity stops returning his phone calls.

Hold your breathe because it will be a cold day in hell before I ever apologize to Cain. Like I said..he played the safe card. I have no respect for him at all....period

I'm not sure if you were attempting to quote my tagline or not. But, if you were, you drastically misquoted it.
THE DIFFERENCE IN NEWT AND CAIN:
Newt has not denied his past transgressions. He has repented and been forgiven and restored. He's been upfront from the beginning. I stand by my statement: Cain on the other hand was a philandering hypocrite, deceived his followers and kept a whole hell of a lot of campaign money that people sent him. People like him makes one want to use the "N" word so friggin' badly.

“People like him makes one want to use the “N” word so friggin’ badly.”

People like him?

What, kind of person is he?

Are you saying that black people are philanderers?

YOUR good man endorsed Romney in the past and speaks very highly of him. He lacks the guts to make an endorsement..he is playing the SAFE card. Anyway...YOUR man is OUT. He will never be president..deal with it. It is a shock to me he didnt endorse Romney YET....time will tell.

In 2008, Cain endorsed Mitt Romney for president, writing that Romney “has successfully managed a real business with other people’s money and some of his own. He has balanced budgets. He successfully led a turnaround situation with the Olympics. And he has spent more of his career outside government than inside.”

Yes, he did.

This time around he chose not to endorse anyone. And I can totally see that, because I felt the same way myself.

I’ve endorsed people that I thought were terrible candidates simply because they sucked a little bit less than everyone else on the ballot.

I’ll be doing this again this year.

You must be kidding. As Speaker of the House, he NEVER VOTED on Ginsburg and Breyer! That’s the job of the Senate. The House is not involved in confirming Supreme Ct nominees. Are you that uninformed?

No...That desperate.

He seemed pretty obviously guilty of the last acdcusations from that woman. otherwise I do not think he would have dropped out and there would be the same type of accusations popping up all over the republican field if it were that easy for a woman to make up a lie and have it be so effective in stopping a candidate. Herman looks and sound mad to me. He needs the fhu.com!

He’s afraid to stick his neck out.

The whole endorsement thing is stupid anyway. Anyone who votes based on how someone else tells them to is an intellectually lazy idiot

Hardly. Endorsements can make a very big difference especially from someone very popular like a Palin or a Reagan. You missed the point viewing an endorsement like an order or even an instruction. It's simply a public person taking a stand of preference in a race and that can be an indicator to folks on the fence like you would suggest who might be influenced by the inclinations of someone they admire. It is not a command and I'm sure many folks will go the other way yet overall an endorsement from someone like Cain would have weight.

Maybe Cain feels that people should take the time to actually research candidates’ positions. What a novel idea.

These folks have been running either openly or hinting at it since a year ago. I'm sorry but anyone who cannot figure out who they prefer by now maybe should find something else to indulge in or as in the case of Cain...is playing it safe for their own interest.

What I found silly is that he pimped this for weeks and now it looks like the idea of a not so serious man who is trying to keep his own flame hot..in vain in my view.
