Quote:The one African-American running for the GOP presidential nomination said Wednesday the black community was 'brainwashed' for traditionally siding with liberal politicians. "African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open minded, not even considering a conservative point of view," Godfather's Pizza executive Herman Cain said on CNN's "The Situation Room" in an interview airing Wednesday between 5-7 p.m. ET. "I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative. So it's just brainwashing and people not being open minded, pure and simple." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/28/cain-black-community-brainwashed-into-voting-for-dems/#more-178079

I think he did himself great harm with this specific comment. He needs to court and convince Blacks to vote for him and his conservative beliefs, not belittle them.

Quote: Herman Cain rises, Rick Perry slides in new CBS News poll Herman Cain has moved into a tie with Mitt Romney atop the field of Republican presidential candidates, according to a new CBS News poll, while Rick Perry has fallen 11 percentage points in just two weeks. The poll shows Cain, who stood at just five percent support two weeks ago, now holding 17 percent support among Republican primary voters. That puts the former Godfather's Pizza CEO into a tie with Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, whose support has essentially held steady over the past two weeks. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20115655-503544.html

Quote:Herman Cain – or the Hermanator, as he calls himself in his new book – is so confident he'll be elected president on November 6, 2012, he’s already sketched out his first 90 days in office. ..... Cain’s new book, This Is Herman Cain!: My Journey to the White House, was released on Tuesday, October 4, by Threshold Editions, the conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster. And on the topic of conservatism, Cain says his Supreme Court litmus test will be, “conservative, conservative, conservative". ..... He believes that “if you mess with Israel, you’re messing with the United States of America. Don’t mess with us. Don’t mess with us. Is that real clear?” On the subject of foreign policy, he says, “I know enough about the importance of supporting one’s allies… You don’t throw your faithful friends under the bus,” as he says President Obama did by demanding a return to the pre-1967 Six Day War borders. [which isn't what Obama did, and which he didn't "demand", either] He plans on replacing Obamacare with “Caincare,” something he describes in rather glorious and non-specific terms: It’s a “compassionate approach to providing the best possible diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care for Americans of all ages.” More at http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2011/10/05/Herman-Cain-21-Things-You-Dont-Know-About-Him.aspx#page1, but anyone who writes a book titled his journey to the White House when he hasn't even been NOMINATED is nutbag enough for me to ignore.

Quote:Mitt Romney has regained first place, winning 25 percent on the poll's match-up of the 2012 candidates, while Perry and Cain tie with 16 percent each. Perry's support has fallen by 13 percentage points and Cain's has increased by 12 percentage points since the last Post/ABC poll in early September.

Quote:If you're dissatisfied with the economy, or unemployed, Herman Cain thinks you should take a long, hard look in the mirror. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal posted Wednesday, the up-and-coming GOP 2012 contender and former CEO of Godfather's Pizza summed up his bewilderment about recent demonstrations on Wall Street. "Don't blame Wall Street," Cain said. "Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself." The conservative radio talk show host described the protests as "planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration, though he admitted he didn't "have the facts to back this up." Demonstrators have gathered to protest big banks during the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, but their grievances don't end with the economy. The protesters, mainly youth in their twenties, have addressed issues from police brutality to union busting, although they are also upset with the war in Afghanistan, the environment, and the state of the world in general. The "Occupy Wall Street" movement has also drawn support from unions. But for Cain, the demonstrations simply amount to "anti-capitalism." Allowing the banks had a "big part" in the 2008 economic crisis, the candidate, who's known for his bombast and has been rising in national polls pointed out, "We're in 2011, okay?" "When I was growing up I was blessed to have had parents. That didn't teach me to be jealous of anybody and didn't teach me to be jealous of somebody," Cain explained. "It is not a person's fault because they succeeded. It is a person's fault if they failed. And so this is why I don't understand these demonstrations and what is it that they're looking for." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/10/05/cain-not-rich-no-job-blame-yourself/?hpt=hp_t2 "bewildered" about more than just the demonstrations! How does he equate having parents to not being jealous?? And, of course, having (apparently) two parents had nothing to do with his having a leg up on those with one working parent struggling to survive and provide for them. Nah, it's probably those people's fault for being born into a family that either was or became a one-parent unit. Of course. He's such an idiot; at least thank gawd if he keeps opening his mouth, he'll fade as fast as Perry. The man seems incapable of putting two consistent thoughts together...there are REALLY people stupid enough to want him running the country? I mean aside from our idiot right-wingers here who aren't capable of putting two consistent thoughts together themselves...

Quote:Originally posted by dreamtrove: I tend to stay out of these because I think they're internal black society questions, but there is something else going on here worth mentioning. A friend of mine who is a black libertarian and small business owner told me his reason for voting democratic, even though he felt politically aligned with the Tea Party. Basically, he said "even though I may not agree with their [democrats] policies, I know a lot of people like me who are on public assistance, programs that I know the democrats will keep running. I don't want to be the jackass that throws his friends out on the street."

Wheew boy, talk about hubris!Quote:We're just racking up that debt that we can never pay off.How much of that debt could we pay off if we stopped giving huge corporate interests freebies and loopholes, and how much of that debt could we pay off if we brought the military home and stopped paying their machine to invade other countries? I understand that has no weight with you, but it does with some of the rest of us. I don't think anyone here, at least that I've noticed, thinks humans are inherently all good. Saying that is a simple lie, as is much of what you posted. You're talking blacks and whites--I hate to tell you, but the world isn't black and white, it's full of shades of grey. The idea that you think our entire, huge country is suddenly going to turn into one huge battleground isn't even worth addressing. It's just too absurd, and serves no purpose other than letting you make equally absurd predictions. It just doesn't work that way, and never will. At least until mankind has overpopulated most of the WORLD and the struggle for food starts wars, but that's another issue. We aren't thirteen little colonies, nor are we even the kind of country where secession is a question, much as the idiots of some recent states have fantasized. We're interdependent, and...ach, why bother; what you postulate is merely the fantasies of a few kooks who are hoarding guns and food "against the day..." Hard to believe you're that deluded.

Quote: Answers to all my other posts last night, but not this one I see.... Maybe it all made a little sense?
Quote: extreme haughtiness, pride or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities. wiki
