"Thanks, again, Ron!"

Nope, just someone who posts facts about Cain that his followers don't want to see.

I want Palin/Cain. That’s my fantasy ticket, I am hopeful it won’t be much of a fantasy.

This is my fantasy also, for I continue to pray Sarah will run. Would also love to see Congressman West in the VP slot or at Sec. of Defense. Mr. Cain, if not in VP slot, can see him in any number of slots where Mr. Cain could do much for this nation's monetary recovery. May fantasy become the actual. It is a good day and a good blessing (I believe) coming from God for 2012. No more will there be a zer0, at the top.

Well, n00b, straw polls can be meaningless, when you bus voters in.

However, FLORIDA actually has delegates, similar to state conventions and made up of local political leaders. That is a a HUGE difference because it can’t be bought, it must be earned.

Lemme guess, you are a Romney supporter, right?

I like Cain but I'm concerned on his gun control stance. He lets it slide by saying he's pro 2nd Amendment at the Federal level but says it's fine with HIM if states want to ban guns at their levels. That's NOT "pro 2nd Amendment" ever since Heller and the other case in Illinois put the 2nd Amendment squarely in the inclusion list for rights linked down to the local levels. That makes me highly suspicious, now.

There's plenty of reason for you of all people to eat crow.

You were the one who insisted this is a "two person race", that the smaller candidates would never gain traction, that there was no reason to even think that anyone could change Perry's inexorable march to the nomination. Perry was too strong, yadayadayada.

You were the one who couldn't even admit to the slightest possibility that another scenario could play out, that one of the small tier candidates could rise, or that *gasp* another candidate could enter or that Perry could implode. Why, you couldn't even deem it worthwhile to entertain such a possibility.

Pardon me while I enjoy myself as your insufferable RINO pretending to be a conservative implodes.

So, do you like your crow extra crispy or on the raw side?

Apparently piling on is one of yours...

This isn't you local paper's editorial page, Sparky. You need a thicker skin if you want to keep pounding away with an extreme minority opinion on a thread. After five years here you should know that.

Amen, Herman Cain, Amen!

Well that’s true, but getting the federal government out of the gun control business and letting it be something that is decided state by state is at least a step in the right direction. Then we can fight that battle state by state. The federal government is the big Satan in this case, and state gun control is small Satan.

LOL My response was clear and concise. You didn't like it. Too bad! I have nothing new to add to that post. But I will say this. You are dense! I offered objective analysis and you offered a list headed by a non-candidate and second tier wannabees. You keep ignoring reality to your own detriment.

Winning a straw poll of 2600 Republicans doesn't mean Cain is now the odds on favorite to win the nomination, STUPID! Its going to take millions of votes to choose the next GOP nominee and tens of millions of votes to choose the next POTUS.

Right now, its still a two man race between Perry and Romney. Herman Cain's victory means he is now gaining ground, as opposed to his “not gaining ground”, as I posted to you the other day. It shows improvement, but nothing more.

What's really insufferable are your dumb juvenile posts. Thanks for playing but you really need to upgrade your debate skills. You still can't be taken seriously.

Perry can’t win. He should just endorse Cain now.

Actually, I agree with that statement. Bye Bye Perry!

Herman Cain was the only candidate talking about solutions and I saw and stood myself during all the standing ovations he received.

Have you noticed that the media is still in denial that Herman Cain won and WON BIG. They still want to make Romney and Perry the top two candidates. But it won't work. We the people will pick our Republican nominee, even if the GOP and the Media don't like it!

It really does boil down to Herman Cain VS more of the same.

Those of us who support him need to spread the word about him to everyone we can, send video links for folks to listen to Herman Cain's speech from yesterday. He had no teleprompter, no notes, and spoke from his heart. The crowd went wild. Herman had a meet and greet that was scheduled for a room that would hold about 100. The venue had to be moved as over 600 showed up!

We can support Herman Cain here:

The troll (on another thread) called me an internet commando who was trying to intimidate him because I called him a n00b.

He is a Perrybot who thinks it is either Perry or Romney. He won’t last long here.

Satan is still Satan. He always starts small anyway so he can win bigger later on. We need a federal government who will stay out of state politics, true enough but they also need to tell the states "NO" where state actions contravene the US Constitution. Agreed?

Q: What about a nationwide concealed weapons bill?

A: Here’s how I’d like that done: Let each state pass a concealed weapon bill. Empower the states—some states already have it—and not have a federal mandate. I believe in the Second Amendment.
