Herman Cain called the United States a divided nation on Wednesday, saying that half the voters ignored the big issues.
We are a divided nation, not on political ideology the way it may have been several decades ago, the former GOP presidential candidate said on Fox News Channels Americas Newsroom. We are divided on class warfare, we are divided racially, were divided in a whole lot of other ways in terms of small things, not the big things.
Cain criticized half of the electorate for ignoring the substance and focusing instead on what he characterized as less substantive matters.
I just think, unfortunately, 50 percent of the electorate really dont look deep enough at the substance of some of these big issues, Cain said. And as a result, we are going to be stalled right where we are today.

He also said that Obama won because he is a popular figure.
The voters that reelected President Obama looked past broken promises, they looked past a stagnant economy and they voted for popularity, Cain charged. President Obama ran a very effective popularity campaign, not a campaign of substance. Unfortunately from my perspective and the perspective of many others, he won based on popularity.
The freeloaders will be pi$$ed when Obama tells them the free ride is over because he spent all the money on bad investments.
Four years of bad judgement they reelect him,fools on the march.
Spot on, brother, the truth is within you!
You realy swallowed Axelrod’s filthy lies about Mr. Cain, didn’t you? How many times did you vore for Obama this time, Graewolf?
[ Suggesting that women as a whole are responsible for this abject debacle is very divisive in itself, Mr. Rogers. ]
Duuuughh.. Most democrats are women..
Tells you something about democrats AND women..
“Romney’s most reliant bloc the whole campaign was white men. He led by 25 points with them on Tuesday. But in 1976, white men were 46 percent of voters. Today, they’re at a new low, 34 percent.
If white women had stayed in Romney’s camp, those swing states — Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire — might have moved into his column. Instead, Obama led among women by 12 points, nearly identical to his lead among women four years ago.”

Tell me again why I should respect women voters, when there was a 37 point gap in voting - in Obama’s favor.
I dropped out of the League of Women Voters over 50 years ago because they were so liberal. So there is some truth in what you say, but I am a woman who has fought for conservatives for 60 years. So men have no exclusive with conservatism. I am not alone.
I know...
