Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread

I agree with these:
- liberal establishment is scared a real black man will run against Obama.
Not from a racial perspective, but strictly an election perspective, if Cain attracts even 10 additional percent of black voters in 2012, Obama's done.
exactly what does this mean? as opposed to a fake black man?

I generally don't obsess over polls this far out, but one released today shows President Obama leading all GOP candidates in Arizona. The last time a Dem won the state was in 1952.

If that trend holds for another month or two, Republicans will be in full blown panic mode.No worries until after the GOP settles on a nominee.

For what it's worth, Cain is blacker.

if reps want to win, they've got to dial down the crazy and stop saying stupid things.

Cain and Perry and Bachman are all jokes. They don't know what they're doing and are completely unqualified.

For what it's worth, Cain is blacker.

There are white people blacker than Herman Cain. He can claim to be whatever he wants but when it come time to nut-up he soiled himself. I will take the half-black inner city community organizer who's lacking authentic black experience upbring thank you.

Disgraceful.

And Cain's authentically black conservative closet is filled skeletons. Perfect timing for halloween. This is going to be fun to see unfold...to deny or to no comment, that is the question.

Wow, it almost sounds like when it comes to who you would “take” (or I guess vote for), if between Cain and Obama, you would base it off of the person’s political ideology, and not just based off of how black they are…. What a novel idea, voting for someone not based off of the color of their skin.

I read the Morehouse atile and didn’t see anything disgraceful in it, can you calirfiy? Also what do you mean when you say there are white people blacker than Cain? Do you not consider black conservitives, black?

Whats interesting to me is that so much credence is already being giving to a third party unnamed source. Its weird that when the stories broke of Obama being gay and connected to Larry Sinclair, the reports were largely dismissed by major media outlets, even though the sources were named and firsthand accounts.

Perhaps Cain was involved in a sexual harassment allegation suit, who knows. I bet any settlement for alleged harassment would be with the agreement to remain silent. So like Obama’s gay sex and drug allegations we should take Cain’s harrasement allegations with a grain of salt.

Did you read the article, especially the end? You really don't get what's disgraceful? Well, it's claiming Obama is not authentically black and fawning over Dr. Martin Luther King admirably in speech after speech but when it came time to participate in the marches, protests, and civil disobedience with MLK and 99% of your peers for your civil rights you chose to stay home and obey Jim Crow laws.

Yeah, if we are going to talk who is blacker there's something to be said for Jewish and White civil rights advocates who marched and helped get us to where we are today being blacker.

Herman Cain, a successful conservative "black" business man, civil rights free rider, and apparently a sexual harasser.
