CDP [TotalFark]
2011-10-14 09:02:35 AM
An "unthinkable" matchup just means the MSM has already picked Romney as the manchurian candidate to be demolished by Obama, with help from the MSM. I'd bet the MSM has already written their hit pieces on Romney. Having Cain in the race would ruin their calculus. They'd have to promote the idea that voting for the "wrong" black candidate is racist. I'n fact, it would not surprise me to see them pitch the idea that Cain himself is racist toward blacks.

CDP: I'n fact, it would not surprise me to see them pitch the idea that Cain himself is racist toward blacks.

This probably wouldn't be hard, since he's already said Obama has never been a part of the black experience, which implies that there is only one authentic way to be black - and Obama isn't it.

It would be enjoyable just to watch a certain segment of the Republican population have to choose between voting for a black man and voting for a black man.

I still really wish Condi would get in on this and win the nomination. Watching some of the rural, white Republicans having to vote for a black woman would totally make my day. Or month. (That, and she's at least 10 times more intelligent than any of the current Republican candidates).

Yeah yeah yeah. That's all fine and good, but it begs the question whether Cain is viable or not. His 'platform' is a joke, he can't explain anything, and doesn't think he needs to know anything. He'll just surround himself with experts (I believe the teabaggers call them "czars" as they wail and tear at their clothes). I'm sorry, but you need to know things in order to balance out the advice of your experts and choose the best advice. Remember the cries from the right during the 2008 campaign that the presidency is not "on the job training"? I do.

None of which has to do with Cain's race. You're the race baiter here.

It's a textbook showdown, all right. The "good" one versus the "uppity" one.

Well I know for certain there is only one authentic way to be white. It involves polo shirts and khakis, but I don't want to say to much.

Or we could just leave out the color of their skin and look at them for their,platform, their plans for this country and the accomplishments they have made. Just a thought.

I'd love this. Democrats obviously have no problem voting for a black candidate, provided said candidate's views and positions on issues are in line with theirs.

Republicans would go to the polls with the INTENTION of doing so, but their brains (or what passes for them) would freeze up in panic before they could pull the lever. The Teahadists in the Tealiban haven't worked this hard to bustle a black man out of the White House just to put another one right back in. This conflicts with the hatred, racism and bigotry they like to refer to as their "core values."

I don't know. Their ability to suffer cognitive dissonance while they still walk and talk is amazing. I think you will see a lot of rhetoric about the president being a "servant of the people."

May God help us if this match-up goes down and Cain wins.
 
2011-10-14 12:12:15 PM
Given that Obama's re-election would be a certitude in such a matchup, I would be happy with it. Cain's ideas are simplistically juvenile and completely unworkable.

I also fail to see how instituting a 9% federal sales tax isn't "raising taxes" in violation of Lord Grover of House Norquist's edict

My Republican officemate loves the 9-9-9 plan. I asked why, and his answer was that he paid a lot more than 9% now so his taxes would go down! I pointed out the 9% sales tax and he said we already pay the highest sales taxes in NY (close to 10%, state and local) so 9% is less!

I stopped arguing.

The danger in being part of the Black Elite is always that you will get called our for "Acting White." You have to be 'po' before you can be 'poor', as Cain says.

Teabaggers think they have caught liberals in a trap by suggesting opposition to Herman Cain is based on race, but the problem for them is that Cain's stupid transcends race.

There are dumbasses in every race.

I don't think this would be a fair match up at all.

How would they keep Cain from seeing O'Bama's teleprompter?
 
2011-10-14 03:02:54 PM
Two directions. Higher taxes or a lot higher taxes.
 
2011-10-14 03:04:18 PM
Cain certainly talks like he believes he can snatch the nomination from the presumptive GOP presidential frontrunner Mitch Romney. With the merciful sink to political non-entity and media darling status of Palin and Michelle Bachman, he's got a media starved for a new flavor of the month infatuated with him and headlining any and every utterance by him. He's got the Tea Party and conservative evangelical zealots cheering him on and pumping up his numbers in straw polls. He'll probably fatten his coffers with some deeper pocket conservative dollars.

What is this I don't even.
 
2011-10-14 03:07:05 PM
I miss the subtle nuance that Alan Keyes brought to the table.
 
2011-10-14 03:08:03 PM
Even BillO the clown admits that Obama would slaughter Cain in a national election.

But let's hope the crazies in the primary election ignore that.

Or maybe it's just immature GOP voters who want the lulz of a black vs black.

Not too many teabaggers get that the 9% national sales tax is in addition to the state and local tax. Ironic that their getting behind it, since their initials stand for Taxed Enough Already.

Of course, a lot of them are blinded by their jubilence of being able to say "WE GOT A BLACK GUY TOO!"

jake_lex: Teabaggers think they have caught liberals in a trap by suggesting opposition to Herman Cain is based on race, but the problem for them is that Cain's stupid transcends race.

Also the fact that Liberals have already put a Black guy in the White House. Hard to play the race card when your opposition is already supporting someone of that race. Won't disagree with you about his level of stupid.
