Reverse Racism: GOP Needs Cain's Blackness

No Zogby Herman Cain is not the Howard Dean of this race. He is one of a few candidates I can trust and he resonates well in getting his message out. He has good ideas and he is NOT a Washington DC Republican. He does not let DC think for him, he is not trying to cater to the national press club. He's a straight-shooter and for these reasons the Left can't stand him. They fear him, fear him trouncing Obama. Not because he is black, but he is more honest and intelligent with ideas that work. I love to see him debate Obama WITHOUT the teleprompter....or even with it. Question whether the elites can see this, the ones who are Republican Rhinos. The Left does not want him nominated and will try to derail him. It won't work!

As always the liberal media doesn't get it. This is not about race but ideas and politicians. America is finding out that it is the politicians that are the problem. They get into office and quickly abandon principles for self interests. They have turned Washington into lobbyist and special interest playground. We need to try something different and what Mr. Cain represents is a person with ideas that represent the conservative movement. More freedom from the tyranny of big government, more transparency and a simpler more understandeable process.

Cain is a Conservative. Period. This whole race thing is nothing but a distraction. The charges against him are designed to destroy his chances because the liberal media and the administration see Mr. Cain as a real threat to Obama. As a Tea Party member, I'm looking for someone who will not cave under pressure, and who will represent our,i.e. the country's best interests, and will restore our God-given freedoms and liberties. And we want someone who does not have an inordinate need to be loved by the mainstream media and liberals in general. We'll figure it out in due course.

A number of years ago I hoped Colin Powell would run for and be elected president. Though I didn't vote for him and don't like him very much I did shed a tear when Obama was elected for the historic moment and all those who would be inspired by his victory. I would imagine people like both Herman Cain and Rick West because they say aloud what their fans are thinking in their own minds, they speak their language. To believe otherwise such a reverse racism is to believe all white people accept guilt for the action of our forefathers as a racial form of indentured servitude. Sorry, not going there. You'd think a black person being elected to the highest office would be the end of racism but apparently some people can't let it go to the extent they see the potential election of a second black person as racist maneuver. The racist card gets played no matter what people do. Go see a shrink we don't need to deal with your issues.

Reverse racism? That must be one of the stupidest phrases in the history of conservative doublespeak. Anti-racist is just a code word for anti-white.
Nobody is flooding and forcibly “integrating” black nations and ONLY black nations with non-blacks and calling native blacks evil racists for opposing their replacement. This is happening in white nations and ONLY in white nations. They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white. Its genocide.

If Cain's Last Name Was Klan He Still Wouldn't Get The Republican Presidential Nomination...
Herman Cain And His Campaign Is A JOKE... And I'll Be LAUGHING All The Way To The Polls If Herman Cain Is The GOP's Nominee In 2012...
Herman Cain Maybe Black, But He Could Never Capture The Black Vote...The KLAN Would Have Better Polling Numbers With The Blacks Then Herman Cain...
This Fact Has NOTHING To Do With The Harem Of Hoe's Who Are Coming Out From Every Rock And Boulder To Accuse Mr. Cain Of Being Two Hands On...
I'm Just Kidding...I Don't Care Who Or What You SCREW Mr. Cain As Long As It's NOT The American People!
The Real Reason The Republican Party Is Viewed By Some As The RACIST Party, It's Because Your Policies Are Anti- Black, Gay And Poor...
To Be Honest The Last Repubican Who Did Anything For Blacks In America Was President Lincoln When He Set Us Free...
And...
The Last Time A Republican Had A Black Over For Dinner Was In 1901 When Theodore Roosevett Had Booker T. Washington And His Family At The White House For Dinner...
Can You Imgaine How This Went Down In The Republican Party When Teddy Announced...
Guess Who's Coming To Dinner...

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are more crowded than Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn't object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

It is yet to be seen if Cain is the victim on garbage politics. It will be difficult to prove, but it is looking a little shaky for the accusers. In any case, it is just more unrelenting vetting which was not the case with Obama and it shows. Never the less, Romney is the man with the best chance to unseat Obama among the widest demographic. Most people I know have decided on Romney. He is calm and thinks things out. Romney has business and government experience that is sorely lacking in Obama and most of his Republican opponents. He has the best chance to turn the economy around because of his experience and history of working across party lines. He is not flashy, but a good stable man who loves his country and will do the best job. On the health care issue, he has the most experience as to what works and what does not. I think he will be able to offer some real help in that area and it will not include a Federal takeover.

It has nothing to do with his "Blackness" you morons, it is his plan and straight talk that people like. He is a breath of fresh air after listening to all the nonsense out of Washington, especially the 3 years of Mr. Teleprompter telling us how we need to live our lives and how bad it is to be successful is in America.
Mr. Cain has been hugely successful in this wonderful country and that speaks volumes, black, white or whatever. And I have nothing to do with the Tea Party and Newt is my guy but I do think that Newt and can would make a great team.
