I am sick and tired of the media picking who we should have

You have the temerity to complain about this, just two posts after you denigrate Cain for being "pro-gay" based on nothing but an Ass-wipe-ociated Press spin???

MY GAWD.... how the MSM must be laughing in their beer tonight watching some conservatives frothing at the mouth, dancing to their tune!

I too am still a Cain supporter.

Seems like many of the folks here posting I’ve encountered on other threads. They were never Cain supporters in the first place.

What a shame that this is happening. We don’t need the MSM to destroy a candidate. It can be done right here.

actually I agree with you and it was a knee jerk answer.

I’d like to see more of this interview now and I do remember how the pro queer media uses this issue to make us all look like we’re bad when infact there were only 3 maybe 4 boo’s out of thousands of people, they forget ,mmmmmmm yea right how the left have booed the boy scouts and this question was a loaded question.

This soldier and has it been proved he was?
Asked a question which serves his sexual views, nothing more nothing less.

Remember how they twisted Palins answers too.

I want them to ask obama in prime time he wants the overturn of DOMA and does he want them to be married in this country.

Now if the pro queer media cannot do this then the GOP needs balls for once and raise this issue because this issue is firmly on our side regardless of how the media twist it or how Hollywood twists it.

The question was a loaded one and never asked at the Dem convention or the Dem primaries.

I would still like to know if it has been confirmed if he really was a soldier serving over there too.

The homo’s tried to scare people in my state when we voted on marriage by saying that the bill would affect normal couples and some fell for it again.

Funny hey how this media gets all worked up about a couple of words or a couple of boos but ignore their own party

They’re NOT going to ask him about that because the answer won’t serve their purpose. They know if they can take any speck of an answer from a conservative on one of these controversial subjects, they can spin it just right to get enough of a constituency in a lather and split our vote. Hence, we simultaneously see “Cain is pro-gay” and “Perry is a racist camper” B.S. all on the same day, all designed to do one thing, DILUTE our power.

I have not committed to Cain, Perry or any other candidate (or not-yet-candidate). All I know so far is that I will never, ever vote for Romney. But watching these cheap MSM tricks work on getting conservatives screaming and shutting down on each other makes me sick.

Your second part..... Ahhhh, you’re funny! A bit out there but funny! LOL

Seriously though, I had no idea about the first part of your post. I wasn’t keeping that up on Cain and just assumed until recently (and suspicious finding out the other day he endorsed Romney in 2008) that Cain was conservative.

Thanks for the search link.

Cain should have kept his mouth shut becuase he didn't know what he was talking about but he took the opportunity to opine about the N-word.

You have your opinion and I have mine and I sure don't agree with you.

I thought Cain was a bigger man than I do now.

Cain has turned into a politician in record speed!

agreed on all points.

It is the pro cross dressing queer media which is the real enemy of this country.

They gave us zero, did no vetting of him, they never vet the left, they never report on the lefts hypocrisy, for instance Mo and zero go out to dinner but did they eat salads and have no salt?
Did they hell, she eats pizza, burgers always got an ice cream and nothing form the media about her telling us what to eat and how much to eat. .

The GOP are fools when it comes to the getting out the message as they have the likes of MSNBC doing our debates and then can’t understand why they were ripped apart

Newt is the only one who seems to understand, Rick gets no airtime, Michelle has been ripped apart like Sarah was and Romney is pushed by FOX all the time.

I want a proper conservative not some half baked one which stands for homosexuality, etc.
I want in the first week the repeal of this insane policy of allowing homosexuals to serve openly and then stop this PC madness in the military.

Any combat unit will tell you that we all laugh and joke about everything but now we’ll have queers saying they’re offended, homo’s being promoted and put out of harms way because the officer does not want to see their queer getting hurt.

The night this law came into effect the queers were out in uniform celebrating, surely that is illegal as I know it was when I served.

Now many pals are now saying they’re getting out, thankfully I did my time but now my sons are saying they will not serve if this stays in affect.

I saw him today on Fox with Wallace as the interviewer.

No implosion, nothing worth negative commentary about Cain...unless, of course you're hoping for a gotcha moment.

If Cain’s opinion, perceived or otherwise, about the N-word is all it takes to sway your vote, then it’s safe to say the media has you in its pocket anytime they decide to “impurity” any Repub candidate.

We are sick and tired of this kind of stuff being thrown at our candidates. You bet Cain knew exactly what he was doing.

I don’t know who’s advising Cain - but this was a blunder.

I saw the video of the event - and the audience was not booing the military guy - they were booing in agreement with what the military guy said. If the audience had cheered, then Cain’s assessment would have been correct.

This kind of over-reaction is what happens to a novice. It’s better to wait and comment later when you’ve had a chance to see the video and hear the audience reaction.

Now I get it! LOL

I had a great Monty Python conversation about a month or so ago here on FR with another FReeper! The Black Knight segment:

http://youtu.be/zKhEw7nD9C4.

I can't even remember what we were talking about at the time, but when you think about it, it could have been about one of the Republican debates this year! :-)

Thanks for the link AND the smile!
