This statement by Herman Cain is very disappointing.

We don’t need for Cain to be a “black candidate”.

We need for him to be a conservative American candidate.

Very, very disappointing this is.

Thanks hocndoc.

Took a few lines to find out that Perry’s Dad painted over the name and turned the rock over years ago and it was there when they took the lease. Doesn’t sound very insensitive to me. Sounds like they thought it was wrong and attempted to do the right thing.

I’m not a huge Perry fan but Cain has stepped up to the plate that made me leery of him. He still has a race chip on his shoulders. Too bad, I might have supported him. Not now though. I was suspicious when he announced in his camp meeting preacher style and then then changed it as time went by.

He could have said something else in response and left it neutral. Something like: “Are you sure? I really can’t believe Rick would do something like that.” Same effect but neutral. Shame the action not the person without knowing the facts.

We don’t need another racist in the White House. We need an American. Cain isn’t the man.

I could have voted for Herman Cain in the primary...until now.
We don’t need another race candidate, Obama has that locked down tight.

Very upsetting as I thought Cain saw the light and was beyond all that.
