African-American voters are finally getting the facts about the Republican Party and beginning to turn away from their traditional pattern of voting for Democrats, Atlanta talk radio host Herman Cain tells Newsmax.TV.
The former CEO said talk radio has been key to this transformation and that is why liberals are seeking to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine.
“I’ve had a lot of people tell me, and they would call my show and volunteer information as to the fact they were black, they were American and they were starting to see the light,” Cain said. “You see when people have the right information they will make the right decision. This is one of the reasons that the liberals continue to want to try to promote this unfair Fairness Doctrine.”

Last ping of the day :)
They would make a decent ‘12 Presidential ticket, IMHO. :)
Cain quote:
“It has been well established that the young man was in fact deranged that committed that terrible tragedy on the people that died as well as Congresswoman Giffords. It’s silly to try to spin a tragedy into liberal talking points against a conservative talk show host or anybody that’s conservative...and disrespectful to the families of those that lost their lives.”

WOOT! Thanks for the heads up.
Herman is great. Don’t know whether the “Dark Horse” can win the nomination for the GOP, but having him out there publicly battling for conservative principles is worth its weight in gold. Plus Herman has got quite a sense of humor about things.
I used to be a Unitarian. Now I’m a Christian.
If we took a random black man off the street and sent him to that Unitarian Church, odds are:
1. The black person’s religious views would be completely different.
2. The black man would find very little to talk about. To take an example, most black men like watching football (as do I) but the Unitarians generally consider it a lowlife disgusting sport.
3. The black person would likely be a bit repelled by the flaming homosexuality with a few transsexuals wandering about.
There are very few black Unitarians. The Unitarians feel very bad about this, and they have anti-racism workshops and all sort of other ways to lure black people. Nothing ever works.
Now if this black man were placed into the Christian church I go to now, he’d likely find his religious views were similar, he could find a hundred guys who would be glad to talk about football, and pretty much all the guys are married to women or are looking to be.
Most black men vote for the same candidates as the Unitarians and not the Christians. I don’t think this situation can last forever.
Now there are 34 million black people in this country, and they are all different. Nevertheless, it’s fair to talk about average traits. Some black people are at home in the Unitarian church and hate football, but I’m just discussing the way the majority of a group feels.
At least 95 percent of blacks will vote for Obama in 2012.
It’s silly to try to spin a tragedy into liberal talking points against a conservative talk show host or anybody that’s conservative...and disrespectful to the families of those that lost their lives.”
They really should cover the other injured parties a bit more, and the ones who were killed. Giffords, though a Congresswoman, was not the only one. It’s as if the media only considers her important.
I feel sorry for the way Conservative Blacks are treated by liberal Blacks. It really is a disgrace.
Herman Cain and Ashley Martella ping. :)
Cain will also be speaking at CPAC in February.
I’ve been talking with a pastor friend about this - he’s young (34), black, and the only conservative in his family. He’s been very candid about the problem - conservative black people are seen as sellouts who are “not down with the struggle.” He’s right in that many conservative principles are a good fit with many black people, but the pressure from liberal family and friends is very, very strong. It’s a long walk out of the forest.
Turning the black vote around is like turning an aircraft carrier going full ahead with no rudder.
But hit the proper weather front and the following gales and it will turn around despite everything the engines are telling it to do. Education is the weather front and conservatism is the following gales.
Herman Cain is capable to carry the light of both ideals to show those on the plantation they have been hoodwinked into being down for the struggle of the leberal masters who originally sold them down that river a long time ago.
Excellent point. They speak of the "attempted assassination" of Giffords, but they never use that word in connection with Judge Roll. It's almost like they researched the political party affiliation of each adult victim and found only one Democrat in the group, and that's the one they focus on.
I agree. Thank you for seeing and saying it.
And why the libs wanta keep those wonderful folks on the plantation. As long as they can keep them ignorant of the facts they will continue to vote democrat.
