Herman Cain Continues To Be A Greater and Greater Embarrassment

From The Atlantic:

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain says President Obama "was raised in Kenya" and that's why "he's out of the mainstream," in an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg for Bloomberg View. (Obama was not raised in Kenya, but did live


in Indonesia from ages 6 to 10 before returning to Hawaii.) Cain, who has never held elected office but has surged in the polls following his appearance in the first Republican debate, said the difference between his heritage and Obama's helped explain the difference in their politics.
Herman Cain needs to quit before he starts saying really stupid shit like, for instance, that Obama is "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean..."

But seriously, Cain's gotta go back to running restaurant businesses. He's good at that.

I respect him a bit more than this... BUT, he ain't got it, agreed

I don't mean to be disrespectful. I'm just saying, as a Presidential Candidate, he is an embarrassment.

He is an exemplary human being.

In fact, I would say, based upon what I know of him, his potential as a Candidate has excited me as that of no other politician ever during the course of my lifetime.

Herman Cain seems like a real man through and through. A guy I would like to be around, not just a guy I would respect as a leader.

I'm still hoping he wins the nomination. These are dumb mistakes, but he's got a solid character and loves and appreciates the USA.

When he stands up for his conscious against the vast, powerful, gay political machine by calling homosexuality a sin. I can't help but admire that courage. And it is a VAST, POWERFUL organization without dispute.

Pastorius said...

I haven't heard him speak on that issue. And, that issue has nothing to do with why I have like Herman Cain up to now.

While I'm against gay marriage, it is a minor issue to me.
What's big here is the courage to publicly stand up against that ubiquitous mafia.

Cain may have made some very questionable statements, but he doesn't have nearly the "foot-in-mouth" disease that the current elected "One" had/has.
Think "57 states", bowing to foreign dignitaries, calliing certain police officers "stupid" etc. etc.

Cain has superior intellect but more importantly, he has real work experience and a positive work ethic to bring to the office.

I'm not willing to completely write Cain off yet. . .he's still far better than any open borders-amnesty-big government-single payer healthcare-RINO seeking the nomination. -HRW

I think Herman Cain put to rest all fears that he's a serious candidate.

It is INCONCEIVABLE to me that a man who mastered the details of growing, and running a large business cannot comprehend what is compulsory in this.

It's as if something basic is missing.

You think the chemo might have destroyed some brain cells, Epa?

EVERYTHING considered I think that Herman Cain has a better chance than anyone else in the current field to beat the shit out of Obama.
Stressing dumb little mistakes while missing the bigger picture is a mistake IMO.
I look mainly at honesty, integrity, courage and core beliefs.
I find it by FAR more dangerous and distasteful when the front runner makes a declaration that he believes that man-made global warming is true. I can't stand the slightest pandering to our evil destructive enemies at this point.

While I can't say I'm a big Cain fan myself, I will say that it's truly disgusting how Andrew Belonsky's been talking about him. That leftard "journalist" has been saying that the GOP should disavow Cain for coming to the defense of the opponents of that mosque in Murfreesboro, TN. Maybe this is why he stopped working for the Huffington Post; Belonsky is such an embarrassment.
