Herman Cain Wouldn’t Support Perry As GOP Nominee
Source: ABC news

Herman Cain, the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO who is running for president, said today he would not support Texas Gov. Rick Perry in a
general election.

“Today, I could not support Rick Perry as the nominee for a host of reasons,” Cain told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Wednesday, pointing specifically to Perry’s
stance on illegal immigration.

Cain has mostly shied away from commenting specifically on the positions of his opponents and at debates Republicans have agreed that any of the
candidates would be preferable to President Obama.

“Him being soft on securing the border is one of the reasons,” said Cain. “I feel strongly about the need to secure the border for real, the need to enforce the l
aws already there, the need to promote the path to citizenship, but more importantly, empower the states to enforce the national federal immigration laws.
Because the federal government didn’t do it, can’t do it and never will do it, so that’s the where I think he and I have a difference of opinion.”

4. Cain the master planner
Edited on Thu Sep-29-11 11:55 AM by bongbong
Herb (as Grifter Snowbillie calls him) has a great tax plan. His 9-9-9 plan. If elected, he will start the Federal Bureau Of Pizza. You call an 800 number or use the net to order. The charges will be figured using the IRS database of everyone's fiscal status. Millionaires will get their pizza free with a bonus on top (cash). Non-millionaires will have $100 added to their income tax bill automatically for each pizza ordered.

Every American will be REQUIRED to order a pizza every week. Anyone who doesn't will become a prisoner of the Federal Bureau Of Pizza and have to work 12 hour shifts making pizza.

12. Rightly so
We are all descendents of slaves and not all from Africa. If we would send all of the slaves back home to the country of origin, we would depopulate the US.

15. Herman Cain was asked by republicans to run to make it seem as if republicans aren't
Edited on Thu Sep-29-11 02:41 PM by GreenTea
racist (which they absolutely fucking are) and perhaps even to get some black votes for the eventual republican white nominee....Because theres no chance in hell the republicans will allow a black person on their final presidential ticket.

Just as the republicans put the Michael Steele as head of the RNC the republicans then made the RNC non-effective, inconsequential the token African-American Steele had no real power....

The proof....

Over 90% of the money, donations & contributions for republican campaigns came from huge republican corporations (Koch Brothers, ALEC, etc.) went instead to Karl Rove and other white PACs & groups to dish out the money to the republican candidates and for republican ads....The RNC received little money comparatively while Steel was the RNC head, then republicans proceeded to trash Steele in order to dumped him when they no longer need Steele any longer.

Cain too is simply the republicans television token.

Now with their token Cain running the republicans can say...."See we also have a black candidate running, it's not about racism" Right, get real!

Because it simply wouldn't look good if there was just 9 o 10 white republicans up there debating and attacking Obama with lies, smears and distortions, the republicans desperately needed a black person up there trashing Obama too, to "legitimize" their republican racist bullshit in others eyes....And is why the republicans asked the wealthy Cain to run.

The republicans probably even promised Cain that he'd win a state or two if he ran - Not that it means jack-shit because Cain will only be around for as long as republicans need to use him - After that Cain will be gone, (except to be used by the republicans to get any black American votes & and hold up as their black republican for television audiences when they need to)!!
