9/26/2011 1:57:56 AM

nope. it's a statement that's missing a comma and an apostrophe s. yes, he's cain.

9/26/2011 2:08:42 AM

herman look out youre burning a pizza.

9/26/2011 2:11:14 AM

DO WANT for next president.

9/26/2011 2:38:12 AM

Why

9/26/2011 2:47:04 AM

pizza folk stick together!

9/26/2011 7:35:43 AM

Gingrich/Cain would be awesome. And unelectable.

9/26/2011 7:36:50 AM

anyone who think cain has a chance (including the floridians) is delusional...that man is not electable, certainly not against obama

9/26/2011 7:37:57 AM

is he unelectable because he's a black republican?

the answer is yes. the left and media hate minority/female republicans. they feel betrayed.

9/26/2011 8:20:46 AM

Yeah man Palin and Bachmann would be unstoppable if it weren't for those liberal elitists

9/26/2011 8:54:35 AM

I don't think I'd say unstoppable, but you have to admit that the media hates those two and do their best to vilify them. Politically, I don't like either of them; but anyone who denies that Palin was train wrecked by the left and the media is lying; and they'll do the same to Bachmann if she continues to run. And it has a lot to do with them being conservative females that they perceive as potential political threats to their beliefs.

Overall, Cain, Palin, and Bachmann have enough similar views to the other candidates to receive the support of like minded people and the same level of scrutiny and hate as the other candidates; however, for some reason, they receive more hate and more notions of "unelectable". Their views aren't the cause of this; it's all the same right-winged message. It's who they are is what holds them back.

If you want an example of political views making a candidate unelectable, see Ron Paul. Half of what he says is good/makes sense. The other half is some strange bullshit that is way the fuck out there.

Palin was trainwrecked by the media.

Not by her complete lack of knowledge on... anything.

got it.

9/26/2011 9:12:37 AM

Biden is just as stupid as she, and he wasn't train wrecked by the left.

9/26/2011 9:15:02 AM

Biden was overlooked by the media because of the frenzy around Obama. It wasn't a conspiracy. Similarly, there wasn't much media play around Mccain, he's been a fixture in presidential elections for a long time now. Palin was the shiny new thing.

Not to mention that for most swing voters, this was an election of trying to figure out who was the lesser of two evils.

9/26/2011 9:21:09 AM

the racist tea party voted him #1 in the most recent poll for florida in the republican primary

racism at its finest.

Totally disagree. I haven't even seen much hate directed toward Cain. The guy is only known for challenging Bill Clinton during his healthcare push 18 years ago and being CEO of a pizza chain. There's not much there to attack because to he's never held public office. Bachmann makes outlandish, sometimes outright false statements and has a weird look in her eyes most of the time. Palin wrecked herself when she quit being governor halfway through her term.

9/26/2011 10:12:17 AM

i still just want to know how Palin got elected governor in the first place

she's not competent enough to be a city council official, much less a whole state - even if it is alaska

It bothers me that all the GOP candidates that I like are the ones deemed highly unlikely to win the nomination. Like Cain, Huntsman, and Paul. Perry and Romney? Ugh what a crock of shit.

9/26/2011 10:18:58 AM

So is there anything seriously important about this guy other than:

1. Black Republican
2. Pizza

9/26/2011 11:00:54 AM

^ not really, no...it doesn't help that he's not especially well-spoken and doesn't debate especially well (when he's given the chance, that is...no one actually cares about what he has to say because he doesn't have any experience with which to back him up)

9/26/2011 11:03:31 AM

The pizza place he owned sold pizza out of gas stations. It's that shit pizza they have in the back under a heat lamp. Is being in charge of that really experience that matters?

Pretty much not true at all. Cain does well in the debates WHEN given a chance to speak and in any interview I've seen/heard with him, he comes off very genuine and comfortable. Much different than Obama who is simply rehearsed/fake.

9/26/2011 11:30:43 AM

The pizza place he was CEO of was Godfather's Pizza. Not sure what you're talking about when it comes to gas station pizza. He is no longer CEO, but he brought them back from the brink.

You people who say that Herman Cain isn't well spoken clearly don't know what you're talking about. I've spent hours and hours listening to Herman Cain on a variety of issues through the years when he guests hosts on syndicated talk radio, and he's extremely well spoken.

If you people actually spent the time educating yourselves before you formed your opinions you might find that people respect you more.

if cain continues to get more popular (which he probably wont), expect to see the liberal media being FAR more racist than your typical teabagger as they attempt to destroy him (a la palin, bachmann).

herman cain is a piece of shit, and it has NOTHING to do with the fact that he's black. he's just an asshole

9/26/2011 1:00:50 PM

maybe but do you think the tom joyners of the world will delve into his policy? No, theyll just crack up over a black republican period.

i dont expect much more from the media, theyll get their potshots in amidst some actual discussion

9/26/2011 1:02:23 PM

^^^^you're right, instead the laws should be hundreds or thousands of pages long and unnecessarily complicated...just b/c.

that is one of the dumbest arguments I've heard against a politician in a while- are you seriously saying it is a bad idea to streamline bills, eliminate useless jargon that is often misconstrued to be used not how it the bill is intended, and have issues separated instead of having multiple issues lumped together just so they can pass?

Herman Cain would not have signed the Civil Rights Act.

9/26/2011 2:20:24 PM

also have you ever noticed how even the thought of compromise is just completely absent in discussions like these?

one person says: OMG IDIOT WANTS ALL BILLS UNDER 3 PAGES

next person says: WOULD YOU RATHER THEM BE THOUSANDS OF PAGES

well no, thats almost as ridiculous as 3 pages

how about: "yes, while that clearly isn't the smartest approach you have to respect the fact that he is attempting to eliminate the unapproachability of most of the laws passed today"


everybody always has to be so extremist

9/26/2011 2:23:03 PM

Herman Cain never talks about specifics. His answers on foreign policy have been, "I'll make good decisions when I need to." The guy isn't qualified to lead.

9/26/2011 2:26:01 PM

we are witnessing history.

america is on the path to having it's first authentic african american president.

9/26/2011 2:27:52 PM

He has detailed his opinions on foreign policy many times on sydicated radio. I'm sorry he hasn't been given enough of an opportunity in the debates to satisfy you.

If you look, I'm sure you can find it.

9/26/2011 2:40:49 PM

he really, really dislikes the mozlums

9/26/2011 2:45:10 PM

^^^^^^

There are more effective ways to make the point than saying he wouldn't sign bills over 3 pages long. He was just asking for this kind of backlash saying shit like that. Especially when one of the most important pieces of legislation for black people in history > 3 pages long. Political races are largely about soundbites, and that's a pretty terrible soundbite.
