Why doesn’t the GOP just call Hermain by his REAL name: “Token”.

I almost split my sides laughing listening to Michael Steele talk about the “diversity” of their field and I wanted to say, super sweetly, “Michael honey, it’s not diversity when you all think, rule and act like and for the white patriarch.”

I think Richard Steele already had that position, and he totally ruined the name of token

The white supremacist vote is a key conservative swing vote. A bon entendeur, salut!

As I always say, they seem to think blacks and women are interchangeable. Why else would they act as if either Michael Steele or Herman Caine would be an answer to President Obama, or as if Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann could ever be one to Secretary Clinton? Any “diversity” within their ranks is only cosmetic, since they all have the same brain-dead and morally bankrupt mindset.

Herman Cain gave a speech the other day where he blasted those who would want to ‘re-write the US Constitution. He said that instead, we should ‘re-read’ it. He then went on to state some items from the Declaration, telling his audience once again that the Constitution should be re-read.
Herman Cain doesn’t know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration, but he wants YOU to re-read it.
He’s another do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I do Republican.
Same story, different moron.

Has anyone here actually listened to Cain speak? He understands economics well, and actually ran a business, which despite all of the misunderstanding of capitalism and business on the left, is an asset. I’m not a fan of the GOP, and Herman Cain probably wouldn’t get my vote if he’s in step with the big government neocons and wants to tell us what our morals should be, but you all are being closed minded if you don’t at least hear his stances on the issues.

the left has no misunderstanding of capitalism. We all understand that that is how we make our living and that it is entirely necessary. What we don’t understand is why you approve of absolutely corrupt corporations and why corporations seem to need to dominate our political process as well is our lifestyles. Do we approve of the private insurance companies? Absolutely not. They are as corrupt as the day is long.

That’s true, but then, the notion that government should be ran by a “businessman” is purely a Republican notion and often times a total failure – I give you Michigan and Florida as examples of this in action right now. The government wasn’t meant to be a business and doesn’t function like a business; it was never intended to function like a business. That’s food for thought.

Cain speaks in sound bites for the consumption of the far right; moreover, the government of the US is not in any sense a business.

The only difference between Herman Cain’s beliefs on economic policy and Paul Ryan’s is the amount of melanin in Cain’s skin. Cain and Ryan are ideological clones. If the GOP thinks we’re going to vote for Cain because he’s black like us, they’d better think again. And, we know a bad idea when we see/hear one. Cain’s race won’t save him with us. Contrary to what I’ve heard many republicans say, we don’t vote for candidates based solely on their race. President Obama was the only black candidate I ever voted for who ran for president. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ran, and I did not vote for either one.

Herman Cain is further proof that Republicans are not anti-black or anti-minority or racist. Cain is absolutely welcome in the big-tent party in 2012 just like we made room for Michael Steel in 2008, and just like we cleared a spae for Condi Rice in 2004 and just like the time before that when we pulled u a chair for Colin Powell back in 2000.
We even let them take pictures with all of the rest of the old, white leadership in the GOP.
And dumb liberals still claim we’re a racist party. Who’s got egg on their face now?

So the Repugs have their own black male version of Sarah Palin. There’s a lot less here than meets the eye.
