“Many African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open minded, not even considering a conservative point of view”

It’s not just African-Americans though.

Volf Bleetzer, you schweinhund! Herman Cain is a real American.

Have you noticed that the troll Barack_Must_Go hasn’t left a comment at Mediaite since Rick Perry got excoriated by conservative media and blogs?  Talk about being embarrassed.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one carrying Perry’s water. Just4theFax and Texan were BIG Perry supporters,  but those two are without shame.

Up yours Snooki.

Or banned?    Just a thought.   

A good thought.

Yeah Mediaite is good at banning Conservatives.  I speak from vast experience.  Like all most liberals, they hate any other point of view and must try to silence it. 

Rick Perry was supposed to rid his party of its plague of embarrassing fringe candidates. So far, he’s failing.http://bit.ly/nXz25k 

My vote is for Mitt Romney, but Herman Cain would be my 2nd choice right now.  There is a lot more to Cain than we hear or see on the debates.  His career consists of more than the CEO of Godfather Pizza.  He was a Mathematician and worked for the Dept. of the Navy, among other things.

When you were banned (deservedly from what I have seen), did they ban your IP address or just your account?

Q: Who said this in the GOP debate: “You have no heart” unless you support using taxpayer money to provide special benefits to ILLEGALS.

a. ANY lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist looking for fraudulent votes from ILLEGALS
b. rick “I love ILLEGALS” perry

HINT: perry OPPOSES a fence to help control the border, he OPPOSES Arizona’s SB1070 ILLEGALS control law, he OPPOSES E-verify, he has not said a word against OBOZO-the-Clown’s executive order granting back-door AMNESTY to ILLEGALS (like his Uncle Omar) and Numbers USA, a group that supports immigration control, gives Perry a “D-“ for his positions supporting amnesty, open borders, and opposing border security.

Can you say “TEXAS TOAST” ?

Then why aren’t you calling out Just4theFax and Texan on it? They have been big Perry supporters, and knew of his position on these issues before the debates. Tell them you think they are assholes.

If you want to claim that guy then you are what is wrong with your party

ps what is an all most liberal?

Democrats rely on ignorant voters, Unions and voter fraud to win elections!!!!

“…ILLEGALS…ANY lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist…fraudulent votes…ILLEGALS…ILLEGALS…SB1070 ILLEGALS…OBOZO-the-Clown’s…AMNESTY…ILLEGALS…TEXAS TOAST…”

Did you have the nickname Spittle in high school?

They’ve banned me 4 o4 5 times for calling them out on their blatant liberal bias.  Of course you think it’s deserved.  You liberals love to shut people up who don’t agree with you. 

House Negro knows the white man has banished Rick Perry so he hops along.

Do you claim, BFD, Royal Dimwit, Ted, Darla, and the rest of your ilk?

No Michelle.  You know it was your filthy, hateful use of the English language that got you banned. You need to face reality and admit and learn from your mistakes.  I find that seems to be a Republican trait.  The Bush administration took this country into the worst economic crisis since the other Republican Hoover took us into the Great Depression but yet they don’t want to admit their mistakes and take responsibility.  It seems to be easier to pass it and the responsibility on to someone else.

Nope, you’re wrong.  It was because I called them out on their bias.  Colby basically told me that in one of his emails to “check myself”. 

ps, can you point to one hateful thing I’ve said. I’ve ask several of you liberals to do that and not one of you has.  I’ll be waiting. 

Why would you choose Herman Cain?  Yes, he was CEO for a company during the good economic years, but he was also asked to resign.

Since then – he has been a radio commentator.  If you didn’t think the president had any experience coming into the oval office, this guy is about as green and naive as they get.  He has never had to work with a legislative body.  He’s a loser.

I believe you’re exhibit A.

So when the Liberals on this board call Sarah Palin a “fu*king c*nt” that does not count as hateful use of the English language?  I have never seen Michelle call any Liberals that and yet she was banned. Does she need to call Liberals “fu*king c*nts so as not to be considered hateful?

I’m a little perplexed; is calling a black man a “house negro” considered racist to Liberals?

OMG, that couldn’t have worked out better if you paid some one to say that.

They are not called the party of stupid for nothing

an All most liberal is someone who almost cant support themselves through their own efforts,

almost cant take personal responsibility for their actions and force others to do the same,

almost want a huge out of control government that continues to take more authority from the states through ham-fisted policy,

almost feels that people who have achieved more success then they have should be compelled to give them some,

almost feesl that putting hardcore criminals back on the street after a judicial slap on the wrist is helpful to the community that they are released into….etc

did that answer your question?

Gorgegirl, do you have a setting on your computer that does not allow you to see some of the liberal commenters over the past couple days asking to shave people’s genitals, or asking people whom they don’t agree with to jump on their “poles”…..or are you just ignorant and partisan?

African Americans are brainwashed to vote Democrat?!? 

I suppose they need to be brainwashed to vote Conservative instead.

They vote Democrat because that’s in their interest and current Conservatism isn’t. 

Poor old Rick Perry…where did it all go wrong???

gorgegilr says “this guy is about as green and naive as they get.  He has never had to work with a legislative body.  He’s a loser.”

but surely voted for Obama in 08 when “green and naive as they get” was less important I suppose. 

I guess you havn’t been around here that long dude.  Thats pretty much the language your side communicates with and understands on thsi webpage,

I have never seen Michelle use any vulgar language in any of her posts.

How is the planation working out for you Farax, because unlike your current CBC officials, Herman wants you to leave it.

No, I think a lot of people vote Democrat because they have been trained to think they are too dumb to succeed on their own and need Big Gov’t to make their decisions and control their lives for them.  

A Democrats worst nightmare is an informed voter.

I’m offended by the use of the term “house negro” in reference to Cain and I hope the board moderators will see that sort of language has no place in mainstream politics and remove the post.  There are some white supremacist and neo-nazi web sites where you can post with that sort of language.

Well perhaps Cain can do everyone the favor of extolling the virtues of voting for the Tea Party/ Republicans.

Anyone whose reasonable educated can make up their own minds regardless. 

…Cain may find himself in a minority for that one.

How exactly is it in their best interest to vote Democrat? Black un-employment is through the roof right now. How is telling them to take off their bedroom slippers and stop complainin’ helping them?

I agree it’s insensitive and language-wise unpleasant, but sadly the tone of the message fits well the role of Herman Cain in this race. :(

Yes and you’re party depends on LIES LIES and MORE LIES to suck people in.  Oh and taking away voting rights from those you don’t deem ‘worthy’…

Ditto cabbage head…

It is a derogatory term that applies only to blacks.  I would welcome the chance to see an example of anyone one other than a African American refered to with that term.  And it needn’t be offensive only to “Liberals.”  You are just conditioned to believe that only Liberals can be offended by language.

I just love that all you ‘conservatives’ are jumping on ‘dumb’ ‘brainwashed’ LIBRULS when the entire premise of the story on the Situation Room is based on a LIE.   “Him being soft on securing the border is one of the reasons. ‘ is why Cain can’t ‘support’ Perry.  Perry never SAID that and he has never DEMONSTRATED that.  Of course, having the largest BORDER to a foreign country (other than Alaska) doesn’t mean SQUAT when you’re lying.  I am no way, no how ever going to vote for Perry but what he SAID was he supported the dream act.  He supports allowing illegals that GREW UP IN THIS COUNTRY get in state tuition so they can contribute to this country.  They already had the benefit of the US system of education so let’s leverage it.  You would THINK you ‘fiscal conservatives’ would understand that but evidently, your need to blame ANYONE for the mess the GOP caused in this country gets in the way of your brain working.

Government is needed to protect people from the greedy, selfish, apes who want to destroy the country with their “free enterprise” philosophy. 

WOW! Michelle has been banned 4 or 5 times? AND keeps coming back? 

No wonder she’s a repub. She’s as thick as a rock!!!

“It’s not just African-Americans though.”

Or is it that they’re just not African-American enough? I mean, Cain is a “real” black man – remember? I think that means we’re going to have to do some segregation here before we can qualify your statement.

‘How is telling them to take off their bedroom slippers and stop complainin’ helping them?’

You see that’s the kind of open minded stereotyping that’s going to appeal and win them over to vote Conservative with or without Cain.

Employment is through the roof for everyone and is to be expected in any recession, especially a Global one.

The Conservative alternatives, I guess aren’t winning them over with a reasoned argument. Especially when you have dog whistles like Hannity, Limbaugh etc etc

Blogs often have rules against personal attacks on the contributors, and they don’t have to qualify as being vulgar to be in violation.
 

Actually Dan himself posted a comment one day that they are fair game.  Which makes it all the more confusing why I would be banned for calling them liberal lapdogs.  Thin-skinned, just like Der Leader.  Must be a trait of liberalism. 

People keep saying that we are all tired of politicians..Well, Herman give us a chance to prove this. Most politicians like our current President and many others has never had a job in the private sector and has no idea how to create or save a job and or how to compete for jobs globally. Cain’s resume is much greater than just being a quote “Pizza King”. He was a former deputy chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reverse Bank and later the Chairman. He has a BA in Mathematics from Morehouse College and a Masters in Computer Science from Purdue. He worked for the Navy as a ballistics expert. He has authored several books that he actual wrote. He came from a humble working class family. His mother was a cleaning lady and his father a chauffeur. And he did all this while being a black man. Not an easy task for his time. As non-politicians go I would rather have Herman Cain at the top job than Donald Trump. But I would rather have him at the top job than all who are running. Ron Paul and Herman Cain are the two most honest politicians running but even though I consider myself more of a libertarian I agree with Cain more than I do with Paul. Especially where Iran is concerned.

I think it’s time we give a person who has never been a politician a chance at the job of Leader of the free World. I would rather have his experience at common sense problem solving than our current president. And I stand with him on most all his core issues.  I like the fact that his is a straight talker and isn’t afraid of not being PC. To me he is a breathe of fresh air when it comes the Presidential candidates. He is a much smarter man than Obama would even hope to be.

He is the only one to have proposed his own tax reform plan. Keep in mind no plan one person comes up with would ever pass Congress ‘as is’ but at least he is putting something out there that can be discussed. Most of us know we need to do something with our tax code.

Herman Cain in my eye is the best man for the job. Can he beat Obama? I think so but who knows. I would certainly love to see the two of them in a debate.

My problem with Perry or Mitt Romney is that they are too much like both George Bush’s. We need someone who can advance conservative ideals for the long run and I believe Cain is up to that task.

Wow sweetie…if you think LIBERALS are too dumb you outta check yourself!  Because there is NOTHING in the current GOP that helps YOU.  And if you are one that ‘did it all yourself’ you better get ready.  All that ‘stuff’ that you don’t acknowledge helped you is going away.  Then we’ll see you squeal…’IT’S SO UNFAIR’…

Uncle Ruckus thinks 1/3 of black voters will vote for him when Sarah Palin doesn’t even respect him enough to learn his name.  He’s sadly mistaken.

Herb Cain 2012 !!!

I agree that Cain has an impressive resume.  Why does he have to lie on the campaign trail?  Oh just politics?  Or is it because he thinks voters are too stupid to get it?  He could totally run just on his accomplishments, but he keeps tripping over his tongue trying to embellish his ‘beliefs’…

African Americans have been brainwashed into not even considering a conservative candidate by watching the conservative candidates attack them for the past 45 years. 

Here’s looking forward to you being banned again very soon I hope.

Not the most politically correct term, especially when used by a non African American, but fitting in this case because Cain fits the definition.

Colby, is that you?

It’s really hard for you to hide your racism, isn’t it?

I don’t know that he has lied…sincerely..Do you have specific examples?

Gorgegirl, you left yourself open for that one.  Obama had even less experience.  But I’m voting for Romney anyway.  We need someone with his experience in business and finance, as well as governing, for the job of President.

Posts that are NOT okay:– Any posts that are personal insults directed to the author of the piece.

Although some of your bannings may have come before the guidelines existed, I have seen nasty personal attacks made by you against contributors:

http://www.mediaite.com/online/look-out-mediaite-commenters-we-are-watching-you/

So you consider the term liberal lapdog a nasty personal attack?  HaHa, good one.

From your link:– Any posts that are personal insults directed at another commenter

– Any post that uses profanity

– Any post that contains racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.

I’ve been called a c*nt, an fu**ing b**ch, told I drove my husband to suicide, told by a liberal that he wished the cancer than killed my husband were contagious and that’s just a taste.  All of those people are still posting as of today.  Any thoughts?

I’m with you.

Blog post rules here, and at most other blogs are BS that they have no intention of enforcing on a regular basis. They’ll whip them out when it’s convenient for them. That’s all.

The Dimucrats enable, lie and demagogue to scare and intimidate black folks into allegiance.

They are no different than slave owners in the old south. Keep them ignorant, dependent, and afraid, and you’ll keep them enslaved.

The more attention and support Cain gets, the more likely many black Americans will have a Frederick Douglass epiphany, and throw off their shackles and dependency.

That’s what terrifies you lefties.

You ain’t too bright. All people who work hard and play by the rules will do well, if the country is wealthy and prosperous.

The country can’t be wealthy and prosperous if we’re broke.

Many of you lefties can’t even admit we’re broke.

Pathetic!

Typical leftist kool-aid drinker.

Bullshit!

He scares the hell out of you.

You are pathetic.

Herman seems to be catching on – I like that!

Michelle, just know you are not alone.. The left likes to claim the right are hateful and violent. We do have some bad apples but the amount of hate and cruel rhetoric they spew daily is without compare. Hold your head up and keep speaking your mind. You are not alone.  You do remember the guy that got in Bristol Palin’s face and called her mother the devil and a whore. He said this to a young lady’s face with no remorse  unit he knew and realized how bad he looked doing this tried to apologize. So just remember, when decent people on the fence see this crap and hear this crap they get turned off and realize who they have been voting with. Again, you are not alone, keep your head up.

It’s Herb not Herman, just ask Sarah Palin.

It’s Herb not Herman, just ask Sarah Palin.

Or maybe they changed their ID like so many others here

Is there such a thing as an open minded conservative?

Herman’s BS’ing Wolf.  Rick Perry just says that the idea of building an 800 mile fence through along the Texas border and a 2000 mile total fence.  As I read recently, if you build a 10′ fence, Mexico will sell a lot of 12′ ladders.  Right now, drug smugglers are going over, under, around and through the existing fences.  It is axiomatic in warfare that an attacker always has the advantage over the defender, because the attacker can choose the point and time of contact

Bush and Cheney were both “businessmen.” 

And so were the bankers and investors who crashed the economy in 2008. 

So Perry isn’t even crazy enough for Cain? Wow.

I like Herman Cain.

The “border fence” idea is ludicrous.  I’ve hiked the Big Bend. I’ve flown in a small plane from Austin to Presidio.  The vastness. Rugged terrain.  Clever stratagems used by smugglers.  Unless we are going to build another Great Wall, we should abandon the idea.

She can’t get anything right, can she?  Reminds me of Norm Crosby.  Total babe, though, and her heart is in the right place.  I really like her, but I am not voting for her.

Don’t be so hard on Sarah Babe.  If Joy Behar can get rich, why can’t Palin?

You’re right, Mr. Whiplash! There’s no way in He** that we can build a fence that would stop illegals from entering the country. We can only build fences in distinct areas that would slow down those who are trying to enter, then you use drones and boots on the ground- and gut the federal agency that won’t ALLOW border patrol agents to drive into “environmentally protected” areas. In case some of you don’t know, illegal aliens have a “Get out of Jail free” card if they reach federally controlled land where you aren’t supposed to go into in a motorized vehicle-  clever, huh? It isn’t just Latinos who illegally cross into Texas, Arizona, California- it’s terrorists and the drug cartels too, but we do everything we can to tie the hands of law enforcement.

For ordinary illegals, you MUST stop letting the employers off the hook- use E-verify. As far as the “jobs Americans won’t do”- reinsititute welfare to work programs- we have too many people who “could” work but who won’t work because they make too much on welfare for doing nothing. There are some people who legitimately cannot work, but not nearly as many as those who just won’t work.

Stop giving ANY entitlement benefits to illegals- if you are not a citizen, you are not “entitled” to the benefits of citizenship. We are a sovereign nation and we need to start acting like one. We have a responsibility to our own citizens to protect our nation and to be good stewards of ALL of our resources, natural and monetary. The federal government has proven that it has no concept whatsoever of stewardship any longer. 

Pathetic. Greed and self-interest created this country.  How insulated.

I have never voted for Perry, but I support his position on education for the children of illegals.  Like a good many Texans, I speak Spanish fairly well and totally enjoy the Mexican culture that has gone through  Houston and Dallas, and even as far as Chicago.  Hell, San Antonio is one of the main cities in the hemisphere, according to Univision.  You can never generalize about people, but from what I’ve seen (and I was born when God was in short pants), these people have really helped the Texas economy with their cheap labor.  And they wire $8 billion a year from Texas to Mexico, back home to wife and kids. Many of them pay federal income tax.  If I were to generalize– which I never do because I know it is politically incorrect– I would say these people work every hard and contribute to the economy.

Romney, Paul, and Cain are top 3 as far as I’m concerned.  Rick Parry is a complete joke.

If you said Obama was “green and naive as they get” back in ’08, you got branded a racist by the ultra-liberal shock troops.  Ask Geraldine Ferraro.  Ask Hillary Clinton.  Hell, ask Bill Clinton. 

Palin wishes she could wrap her lips round Cain’s black c_ck! The Tea Party Queen luvs black c_ck up her flat white @ss ! lol You can’t write this chit the Queen of white crazies luv getting pump by brothers haha Hannity’s head is going to explode! lol

Just like M.B.A. ex-CEO and Governor George W. Bush, right?

–Cobra

The causes of the housing market crisis started well before the 2nd Bush administration. Just because the bubble burst with him in office doesn’t mean his administration caused it. Neither Republicans or Democrats wanted to listen to the few who were sending warnings that something bad was coming down the pipe. Neither party wanted to rock the boat on the housing market. Barney Franks and Chris Dobbs fought tooth and nail to keep Feddie and Fannie from being audited. The CRA played a big row. Banks wanting to be able to reduce the required cash that they had to hold against loans they made for mortgages. And the only way to this legally was to invest that reserve money on investments that were rated AAA. At that time very few were. The rating agencies played their role but constantly rating MBS as AAA even after sub-prime mortgages were starting to increase on the percentages of these complicated  MBS’s. This allowed banks to sink money in investments that were not truly AAA. There is a lot of blame to go around. The housing crisis was several years in the making. The only reason Bush gets the loins share of the blame is because he was in office when it happened. It is just convenient for the left to put this on Bush alone. It’s true in large measure that Wall Street greed played a roll but both parties have rich friends on Wall Street. Look how many people from Goldman Sachs are groupies of the current administration and they were a huge player in the MBS market and in the collapse of AIG. They were the first major player to see the burst coming and didn’t say boo to anyone while they were dumping as much of their holding in MBSs as they could without alarming others so they could minimized their exposure to them before anyone else caught on. AIG were insuring their holdings. But AIG had invested heavily in MSB’s as well but did not reduces their own exposure. They were hits from both sides of the bubble.

Read the book “All the Devil are Here”. A very comprehensive book on the housing crisis.

sorry for any typos in advance I didn’t have to the reread this for errors.

Always was except for the _______ who were looking for the Male version of Palin.

Well, she is The Master of Malaprop but he did it for comedic effect.

Perhaps,

http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidwhelan/2011/09/22/fact-checking-herman-cain-who-says-he-would-be-dead-under-obamacare/

In what form were those attacks? Give us an example.

16,000 illegal aliens parasites are attending college in Texas paying $9,000 an year. A legal citizens just across the border in another state has to pay $32,000 a year in out of state fees. Can someone tell me why this is just? Can anyone tell me why our students should take a backseat to an illegal alien parasite that’s not suppose to be in this country, let alone take a seat from a legal citizens in an American college?  

Michelle,

Although I do think you go overboard many times, I have never heard you use such terms (and can understand going overboard if it is truly onesided)  but since I have been here, I have seen many like the posters on the Janeane G thread, and Michael Moore, and Joy Behar and ANY Gay woman use the terms you cited and much worse. 

That said,  the things you say were said about your husband are horrible, and I for 1 am sad that this is the state of the country.

ps I dont care if its a Republican, or a Democrat in the Whitehouse

THEY deserve respect.
Dont like them – VOTE

Perry’s pole numbers are saying just that!

I too lived in Texas until very recently. So when I tell you your remarks are disingenuous, I’m saying it with personal first hand knowledge. Please, read you remarks, and then tell us why they don’t back up those who are diametrically opposed to your position.

Sounds reasonable to me

BTW..I’m no fan of Bush…

And you what is ironic? Glenn Beck saw this coming. I remember the show  while he was still with HLN were his showed a graft of the average home prices from way back until 2007 which showed a huge raise. Homes started raising sharply in the mid 1970′s until its peak in 2007. He said I don’t know when this bubble will burst but this will not continue for much longer. He didn’t know about MBS’s or all the details of why this burst was going to happen but some how he knew it would.   Do you know what happened in 1977? The Community Reinvestment Act was past by the Carter Administraion. The CRA was modified a few time through the years but the  1st Bush administration and the Clinton administration which allowed even more people who would not have normally qualified to get a loan to get a loan. This increase in buyers increased the prices of homes which in turn created a bunch in new buyers we call speculators which further increased the price of home ownership.

The point here is that in most cases when government tries to manipulate markets and make well meaning laws it usually comes back to bite us, the American people. When they start something and it seems to work and be a good thing they start making it bigger with more so call improvements unit it explores in our faces. Social Security is another example of this but I won’t bore you with those details.

Not if you actually read the Conservative Tea-Party objectives. If you do, you just might find yourself agreeing with more than you disagree with.

At this point an artichoke could beat Obimbo. He sure as hell isn’t touting his own record, is he?

Why aren’t Blacks asking, why is unemployment so high in the Black sector. 8,000,000 illegal alien parasites are holding jobs in this country. Maybe they should start there.

So, Perry actually saying, “there should be no borders’, doesn’t qualify as being weak on the border issue?

The housing market and the Bankers who were supposed to be regulated by this government were told to drastically reduce the requirements for obtaining a loan. If your looking to blame someone, blame the Congress for not doing their jobs.

Bush was warning, as early as 2001. No one listened. Their listening now!

What the hell does that have to do with Mr.Cain’s position?

Or, you could ask Olbermann and Gar-awful, they’re transfixed on the issue.

Sound so much more reasonable than
it was caused by people who bought homes they could not afford

I’m sure African Americans will love his 999 plan.  Nothing speaks to the African American voter more than that.  

The problem is that he doesn’t have a record in the government that he could stand on.  All he says politically, is radio rhetoric.

What is the Republican plan for black unemployment exactly?  Build more prisons?

Just illegals, SYSPROG…you have a problem with that?  Move to Alabama…not too many there, I hear.

We have it…it’s called the Republican Party…and it’s coming for you, BellowsLungs.

Listen to those Dog Whistles…and then stand aside.  Those “dogs” are going to run your liberal ass into the ground.   WOLF, WOLF!!!!!

Get rid of OBUMMER…that will help them more than anything, Fat Boy.

MICHELLE…you have many, many friends on these blogs.  We all support you 100%.  Please keep up the good work  you do EVERY day.  We LOVE you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU, MICHELLE.  You are the best..  Know that you have a friend here.

Obama had 8 years experience in the Illinois legislature and two years in the US Senate.  Yes, he only had one year business experience, but then he was never asked to leave a company like Herman Cain was asked to leave by the board at Godfather’s Pizza.  Cain tries to let people think he was very successful, but the board didn’t think so.
As to Romney, his company bought up companies, split them apart and shipped the jobs to China.  As to job creation, when he was Governor of Massachusetts, his job creation efforts came in #47 out of 50 states.  Not good enough for our economy.

You and your constant slave terminology. You are fixated on that aspect of African American history while everyone else is moving on.

Again, it’s why Republicans will continue to struggle to attract the vote. On the other hand it’s pleasing to see how the Conservative message in 2011 since the Proclaimation.

…Congratulations.

African American in the majority cannot abide Limbaugh, Hannity etc etc, but good luck with trying to extend the appeal via Cain.

….It’s not enough.

Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying!

If you would stop watching cartoons and pick up a damn newspaper once in a while, you’d know blacks ARE asking, and HAVE been asking that question.

On the back of slavery. Looks like I forgot laziness as a repub quality. My bad.

”
Pizza is Cain’s biggest selling point. He says his track record running
Godfather’s Pizza, a chain that once billed itself as “the cure for the
pizza emergency,” shows he has the ability to run the country. The
620-store chain was on the brink of bankruptcy when he arrived in 1986,
he says, and he “turned it around with common-sense business
principles.”

A PolitiFact examination of Godfather’s, based on interviews with
industry analysts and company officials, shows Cain is largely correct.
The chain wasn’t literally preparing paperwork for bankruptcy, but it
was widely considered troubled. Cain changed that by uniting the
franchisees, overhauling the chain’s advertising, and getting his team
focused on its core mission: pizza.

“House Negro”????   wooo….seems like you still are living on the Big Government Plantation, Boy, and can’t make it on your own.  Yassuh, you jes keep stayin where you is and let Massah take care of you.

And just how is that, pray tell?  Because Cain is smart and successful?  Because he’s not content with staying on the Government Plantation and refuses to allow other blacks to tell him how to think and how to live?

Now that IS funny!!  Herman Cain (not Herb Cain who used to write for the SF papers) does not need Jesse Jackson or Maxine Waters or Rev. Al to tell him how to think and how to live.  He refuses to stay on the Democrat Plantation, shackled to old ideas as though he can’t do for himself.  It’s the sheep who are convinced that the white man is doing him wrong that need to stay in the chains of the Democrat party.

Exactly.  He kept you and the rest of us safe for 8 years.  He was a liberal Republican and spent too much and vetoed none of the spending, but he was 10 times smarter than Obama and did a hellofa better job as President.  His biggest mistake was his refusal to fight back when Democrats continually belittled him and he allowed them to define him.  The next Republican President will NOT make that mistake.

BTW, the George Bush T-shirts that say “Miss me yet?”  are hot sellers on Martha’s Vinyard.

Obama’s….ahem…. stellar record in the Illinois State Record, not including his fight to prevent babies born alive from botched abortion from receiving medical care:

Then, in 2002, dissatisfaction with President Bush and Republicans on the national and local levels led to a Democratic sweep of nearly every lever of Illinois state government. For the first time in 26 years, Illinois Democrats controlled the governor’s office as well as both legislative chambers.

The white, race-baiting, hard-right Republican Illinois Senate Majority Leader James “Pate” Philip was replaced by Emil Jones Jr., a gravel-voiced, dark-skinned African-American known for chain-smoking cigarettes on the Senate floor.

Jones had served in the Illinois Legislature for three decades. He represented a district on the Chicago South Side not far from Obama’s. He became Obama’s ­kingmaker.

Several months before Obama announced his U.S. Senate bid, Jones called his old friend Cliff Kelley, a former Chicago alderman who now hosts the city’s most popular black call-in radio ­program.
I called Kelley last week and he recollected the private conversation as follows:
“He said, ‘Cliff, I’m gonna make me a U.S. Senator.’”

“Oh, you are? Who might that be?”

“Barack Obama.”

Jones appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills.

“I took all the beatings and insults and endured all the racist comments over the years from nasty Republican committee chairmen,” State Senator Rickey Hendon, the original sponsor of landmark racial profiling and videotaped confession legislation yanked away by Jones and given to Obama, complained to me at the time. “Barack didn’t have to endure any of it, yet, in the end, he got all the credit.

“I don’t consider it bill jacking,” Hendon told me. “But no one wants to carry the ball 99 yards all the way to the one-yard line, and then give it to the halfback who gets all the credit and the stats in the record book.”

During his seventh and final year in the state Senate, Obama’s stats soared. He sponsored a whopping 26 bills passed into law — including many he now cites in his presidential campaign when attacked as inexperienced.

It was a stunning achievement that started him on the path of national politics — and he couldn’t have done it without Jones.

Before Obama ran for U.S. Senate in 2004, he was virtually unknown even in his own state. Polls showed fewer than 20 percent of Illinois voters had ever heard of Barack Obama.

Jones further helped raise Obama’s profile by having him craft legislation addressing the day-to-day tragedies that dominated local news ­headlines.

For instance. Obama sponsored a bill banning the use of the diet supplement ephedra, which killed a Northwestern University football player, and another one preventing the use of pepper spray or pyrotechnics in nightclubs in the wake of the deaths of 21 people during a stampede at a Chicago nightclub. Both stories had received national attention and extensive local coverage.

I spoke to Jones earlier this week and he confirmed his conversation with Kelley, adding that he gave Obama the legislation because he believed in Obama’s ability to negotiate with Democrats and Republicans on divisive issues.

So how has Obama repaid Jones?

Last June, to prove his commitment to government transparency, Obama released a comprehensive list of his earmark requests for fiscal year 2008. It comprised more than $300 million in pet projects for Illinois, including tens of millions for Jones’s Senate district.

Shortly after Jones became Senate president, I remember asking his view on pork-barrel spending.
I’ll never forget what he said:

“Some call it pork; I call it steak.”

Herman Cain should entice Chris Christie to enter the race by offering him a year’s supply of free pizzas.  Of course, Godfathers would go  broke within 2 months.

Would you prefer “Uncle Tom”?  I call him “Herb”.

 I take it you’re not a big fan of Chris Christie. 

What dog says, “wolf wolf”?  Don’t you mean, “woof woof”?  That’s what your mom always tells me when I do her doggy.

Herb will be just fine. There is no need to call him derogatory racist names, unless you wouldn’t mind me referring to Obama as House Negro and Uncle Tom. They are both successful black men so either the names apply to both or they don’t.

The Democrats wanted slavery and the Republicans wanted to end it. Try doing just a bit of research once in a while. The KKK was started by Democrats. The first blacks in Congress were Republicans.  18 Southern Democrats and 1 Republican filibustered the Civil Rights Act.  In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats
opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. However,
the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the
votes.

Try looking up Preston Brooks (Democrat) who almost beat Charles Sumner (Republican) to death on the House floor over an anti-slavery speech that Sumner gave in 1856.

Republicans were the ones that helped the blacks every step of the way, from day one. It was Democrats that wanted blacks to remain as slaves and later to remain segragated.

What lies are you talking about. Could you expand on that? What people do the Conservatives deem “unworthy” of voting rights?

Missouri has also effectively, and quietly managed to deal with their illegal alien parasite problem.

Not all Conservatives are on board with you appraisal of Bush.

Isn’t it the “government” that’s pushing, and providing those “free enterprises” ?

What the hell is that suppose to mean?!

Black unemployment is through the roof and Obimbo is pandering to the Latino vote, promising to support illegal alien parasites, the same parasites that are taking jobs and economically hurting Blacks the most! I think Blacks are starting to see through Obimbo’s hypocrisy!  He pays lip-service to the Black community while backstabbing them at the same time. About the only thing transparent in Obimbo’s administration is his lack of attention to Black issues because, the Latinos have a larger voting block.  

Your lack of comprehension of “Lemmingsrnotusdamnit” remarks is probably why your stuck in the Democratic rut of the never ending circle of dependency.

Your doing her dog?!!

Good to hear! Where can I find that article? It was probably written by a Conservative, wasn’t it?

Education comes to mind. For the past 30 or more years, the Democrats have effectively dumbed down the educational system in this country. They are passing people on who can’t even read the diploma. Another area would be welfare. That needs to be drastically reduced.

…According to you.

I pride myself on being reasonable self sufficient and not dependent on anyone. On the other hand i don’t despise people who have difficulties unlike some at the current Republican Debates.

Lemmig is a Lemming I judge him on his previous comments

Herman Cain was asked by the Board of Directors to step down as CEO of Godfather’s Pizza in 1996.  Ron Gartlan took over CEO duties and remains CEO to this day.  If Cain was so successful as a CEO, why was he asked to step down?

Hey gorgegirl…(this site is crazy.  Seems I can “Reply” to myself, but I cannot “Reply” to the person who responded to me.  Oh well…)

As for your assertion that Cain was asked to leave Godfather’s Pizza…
“At the end of 1996, Cain stepped down from his
position as President & CEO at Godfather’s Pizza to become the
President & CEO of the National Restaurant Association, the
organization for which he had served as a volunteer chairman and
President of the Board in 1994/95.
In 1999 he became CEO of Retail DNA, a premiere
provider of innovative technological marketing solutions for the
restaurant industry. He now serves as a member of the Board of Directors
of that organization.”

NOT asked to leave, but left for another position.

The guy with the black yankees hat should be flagged and his comment deleted for what he said
about Mrs. Palin.

Guess he was taken off. Thank you Mediaite. That was really offensive. It’s not that I’m weak, but it should be
offensive to all females and males.

Well, I take back my last comment because the black yankees hat removed his icon to an anonymous one and his filthy comment is still up.His posting name is “lfvkwhitebtches”.

Dodd, Frank, and ACORN crashed the economy you ignorant liberal.

What is their interests? perhaps procreating out of wedlock, not getting an education and depending on the government stash instead of working.

Good start for all of them guilty of pushing drugs, robbing, and other crimes just like any other race of citizens.

…You’re too generous.

Yours is the kind of thinking that’s bound to sway those votes.

…Congratulations on the effortless narrow mindeness!
