Is it possible Herman Cain is punking the GOP?

When I hear the outrageous things he says, his words could very well be construed as satire (a la Stephen Colbert). His 9-9-9 tax plan comes froms a Sims game; he declares that racial inequality does not exist in this country and he does not want to be called African American. Then he made some truly ridiculous immigration commments this weekend (20 foot fence; electrified; you try to climb you die) - to applause and cheers. When asked about it, Cain claims what he said was a joke.

So I've been wondering....is his entire campaign a joke?

It sure would be something if true but I know it isn't. He's got his head up Koch ass and even though he claims he's joking, he's isn't. He would most definitely get great enjoyment watching people get electrocuted and I bet he could even turn it into a sporting event for good Christian Republicans. Then sell them pizza while they watch.

who had registered as a Republican. They were interviewing him and asking if it was a mistake. He claimed it was a fraternity prank and that he had forgotten to change it.

Maybe Cain is that guy.

:evilgrin:

and he thought name recognition would increase his book sales.

He's not a stupid guy. He was a civilian mathematician for the Navy. He's built a solid business (yeah, his pizza sucks, but he knows where sucky pizza will sell). He's been a radio blowhard which means he's got to be able to string sentences together.

In other words, he's much better than the image he's projecting and he's smart enough to know his nein, nein, nein is a total crock of shit.

He's a puzzle to me. I don't know why he's tossing red meat to stupid people, he's clearly much more intelligent than that. He's obviously playing some sort of role. I'm just not sure what it is yet.

Stranger things have certainly happened.

In time we'll probably know his motivation, or maybe not! :D

for the future of America, because for the most part IMO we have a portion of the population that is ill-informed and could easily tip the country into some very dismal times, far worse than now.

Palin style.

...if you have no ethics.

imo his body language and conviction seem very strong to me. IMO, he's not a talented enough actor to pull it off.

He is totally a joke. His appearance on MTP this weekend confirmed that.

.

there is a possibility, considering his outlandish comments etc.

To me he is a complete joke but I love the fact that he is digging his own
grave, I can see Obama running rings around his sorry arse.

I heard he has a mathematician brain, that is wonderful as mathematicians are
not known to have common sense, they are known to be one dimensional.

Another thing is how he is exposing the true colors of the republican party, how
the GOP is quick to embrace a racist message no matter who the individual is.

Seriously, there isn't a single one of the republican candidates who hasn't said something that leaves you thinking it's satire.

utter sometime it's another WTF!

Every time I see Herman Cain I can't help but think of that movie. And recall that scene with Eddie Murphy hiding in the washroom stall as the Duke Brothers discuss the future.

Herman Cain, maybe you should watch that movie.
