Question for the Cain supporters

I'm curious. How exactly would Democrats pick out a Republican candidate for the Republicans? I would think Republicans would be the ones who would decide who their candidate will be.

Even PBS was singing the praises of Romney. Extolling his political virtues. CNN did the same, as did MSNBC. These are Democratic supporting businesses.

Just my take on it.

Would that be a good thing?

Whether he is or not, the people being polled seem to be serious about him. I think that both Clinton and Obama did not start out as serious candidates but were just taking a test run to lay the ground work for a later election and ended up filling a vacuum.

Really? they both seemed very serious to me. What makes you think they were not?

Just my gut. Like Cain, they were lightweights in a weak field.

Ummmm.... yes! He is scaring off some of the right and the moderates. The campaign manager is a criminal and THAT was one of Cain's first choices? And don't let the 20-24% fool you. They said today that over 65% of the voters still have not decided. SO that is more like 20% of 35% which is only 7%. There are SO many who could go between a few candidates yet. I have a feeling there will be a couple more lead changes in the next 2 months.

In the mean time do you know what Reagan's 11'th commandment was?

The GOP is still playing "Whack-a-Mole"... They whack down on one because they're too nutty, (or not nutty enough), and the next one pops up... Kind of like the horses on a carousel. And Romney's just sitting there in the middle... He doesn't pop up because sooner or later all of the crazy ones will fall, and he'll be the only one left.

1. He speaks bluntly, regardless of the demographics of his audience.
2. He takes a stand which smacks of conviction.
3. These two characteristics are requisite of a "statesman", not a politician.
4. He gives the impression that his #1 goal is to improve America, not to assure his popularity and successful election.
5. This smacks of courage and guts.
6. He is happy to be interviewed by hostile media outlets and hosts. He does not run from or avoid them.

The other frontrunners are RINOs. They might as well be registered as Democrats.

:thumbsup: Right on.....

I am so sick of Cain supporters throwing that out there! WE HAVE TO VET ALL THE CANDIDATES!!! They attacked the heck out of Perry when he bacame leader. So do all you Cain supporters just want us to sit back, ignore all the faults, mistakes and poor policies and plans for now until he gets the nomination and then let Obama tear him apart? I DON'T WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF OBAMA!!! Attacking and getting the truth out htere are 2 totally different things!

SO you are voting on an 'impression' he gives and how he 'smacks' of courage and gut or how he 'speaks'? All you pointed out is how he sounds. Not a record or plans? So which plans of his right now do you support and can stand up to Obama and $400 million? And Racheal Maddow (sp?) takes a stand with conviction. That means nothing. And NO ONE is running from media. In fact Perry is on Fox News Sunday morning with the Democrat Chris Wallace, for a full hour right now.

Someone.....ANYONE tell me what PLANS that Cain has that you support! Enought with the beauty pagent! My God this is sounding like the Obama supporters in 2008. No one had a clue why they were voting for Obama other than he was different and charismatic and was a likeable guy!
