Paul-bots despise true conservatives. Your post is a case in point.
If you weren't such a blatant liar, God could use you, Jack.
As it stands though, you're proving you're nothing but part of the chaff, if ya know what I mean.
I hope you repent.

We who? You and the other anti-semitic, anti-American lying punk here?

You're a despicable creep.

Hell isn't a nice place, but it really IS where God throws liars.

That's funny. You're the one who's "Religious".
I've forsaken Religion in order to worship the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures.
Seems to me your Religion has made a mess out of you.
Hell isn't a nice place.
Repent, liar.

Jack in Wi| 11.11.11 @ 6:41PM

Margie: There is not one word of untruth in anything I wrote. Everything I said about Herman Cain and Newt is true and a lot more to come out on Newt. He has been a has been for 15 years, when he was the main target of Clinton in the 1996 election. I remember what a flop Newt was as speaker if if most of the rest of you want to close your memories. He just could not keep his mouth shut. It had some good stuff and a lot of nonsense, all mixed together.

Margie| 11.11.11 @ 11:59PM

Jack,

You're delusional.

Aaron Goldstein| 11.11.11 @ 2:25PM

No pun intended. All fixed up.

c. j. acworth| 11.11.11 @ 2:39PM

Yeah, but you called Cain a "dark horse", which clearly shows you are raaaacist!

Simon Templar| 11.11.11 @ 1:30PM

Are we looking at a Gingrich/Cain ticket?

PhilTheCapitalistPig| 11.11.11 @ 1:54PM

That would be glorious..

DRed| 11.11.11 @ 3:04PM

Yes it would.

Bo| 11.11.11 @ 4:09PM

Glorious for Obama.

victor| 11.12.11 @ 2:10PM

Bo:
"Glorious for Obama.""

How many teleprompters will Obama need to debate Gingrich, eh?

Simon Templar| 11.11.11 @ 1:32PM

It seems clear to me. The majority of republican electorate want Cain and Gingrich, the establishment ruling elite want Romney.

PhilTheCapitalistPig| 11.11.11 @ 1:55PM

Good analysis, sir.

Bo| 11.11.11 @ 4:09PM

Obama wants Newt and Herm, too.

victor| 11.12.11 @ 2:16PM

Be careful what you wish for.

"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true." —Spock, Amok Time

What will Obama do with Newt when he is sitting across the table from in a debate, eh?

Cain/Gingrich 2012

Cain can "get out the vote" as it were.

He's clearly the populist choice among Republicans, and his campaign has been grossly underestimated and prematurely derided.

Clint| 11.11.11 @ 2:06PM

In May, when Gingrich sharply criticized Paul Ryan​’s Medicare reform plan, FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey reminded National Review that Gingrich had been a serial offender:

Citing Gingrich’s support of Dede Scozzafava in the 2009 congressional election in New York’s 23rd district, his backing of Medicare Part D and TARP, and his commercial with Nancy Pelosi​ about climate change, Armey observes that “Newt entered the race with serious ground to make up with these 2 million Tea Party activists.”…

Brendan Steinhauser, director of Federal and State Campaigns for FreedomWorks, reports that the Tea Partiers he’s talked to are “irate” at Gingrich… “I never met a single Tea Party activist that supported Newt Gingrich for president,” he adds."

PhilTheCapitalistPig| 11.11.11 @ 2:55PM

uggghhh....

Clint| 11.11.11 @ 2:09PM

The vocal leader of Tea Party Nation has a message for Herman Cain: leave the Republican presidential race.

"Herman Cain has got to go," Judson Phillips wrote Wednesday in a post on his group's website.

"I will repeat what I have said earlier. I like Herman Cain. Of all of the candidates, he would probably be my first choice to sit down and have a pizza with. But to quote the famous line from 'The Godfather,' it's not personal, it's business."

The Tea Party Rebellion Is Here.

Bumr50| 11.11.11 @ 2:28PM

Judson Phillips is a tool, and leader of a small Tea Party group that disagrees with his assessment, if you'd bother to look at the story.

Wayne| 11.11.11 @ 2:31PM

Put up or shut up. If you have proof of misconduct against Cain, then put it up, else you are just playing in the hands of same political/press lynch mob mentality they applied against Palin.
We need to be smarter than that.

As the slogan goes. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. The unfounded allegations have made him stronger.
Notice how only Romney seems to avoid the main stream media game of gotcha.

Clint| 11.11.11 @ 3:49PM

It looks like the Paulbots Moms finally made them get out of bed (trash day and all).

Clint| 11.11.11 @ 4:43PM

" The Tea Party's Mr. Phillips points out that the Washington-based website Politico gave the Cain camp ten days to respond before the story was published and still they struggled to handle the news.

"What the hell were they doing?" he said, adding, “Ten days in, the Cain campaign is still stumbling around like newly castrated cattle.”

The final straw, he said, was when Mark Block, Cain’s campaign manager, claimed that the son of one of the accusers, Karen Kraushaar, worked at Politico. But the accusation ended up being false.

"If Cain cannot run his own campaign, how is he going to run the country?” Mr. Phillips said. “A few days ago, I would have been willing to accept Cain as the nominee. Cain was not my first choice but I could have easily supported him.To which he added, “No longer.”

Extremist Defender of Liberty| 11.11.11 @ 2:45PM

The beltway Hillyer-Rubin axis has been unable to slow the Herman Cain train.

PhilTheCapitalistPig| 11.11.11 @ 2:57PM

Dude, I TOTALLY agree with you on Jennifer Rubin, but let's not paint Quin with that same brush.. That's not being very intellectually honest.

Extremist Defender of Liberty| 11.11.11 @ 9:08PM

QH, beltway and intent on derailing Cain train. Verifiable and honest.

Casey Abell| 11.11.11 @ 3:39PM

Wow, Cain's support among women Republicans has gone from 28% to 15% in this poll in just a month. Aaron is whistling past a very gloomy graveyard.

Casey Abell| 11.11.11 @ 3:44PM

Overall, Cain has gone from 25% to 18% support among Republicans in less than a month. The drop looks mostly due to the big falloff among his female supporters.

Margie| 11.11.11 @ 4:37PM

You forgot to read the big picture part of that poll:

"In a new CBS News Poll, 61 percent of Republican primary voters say the sexual harassment accusations against Cain won't make any difference in their vote.."

GO HERMAN!!

Casey Abell| 11.12.11 @ 12:00AM

And thirty percent of GOP voters say the charges make them less likely to support Hormonal Herm. This has crushed his support among Republican woman and cut into his overall support big time.

Anthony M| 11.11.11 @ 3:50PM

I don't understand the infatuation with Cain. He brings no votes to the Republican ticket. Blacks will always, unto the end of time, vote for democrats, this has been proven time after time. Many whites will not vote for a black candidate, those votes would have gone to the Republican against Obama. As far as Cain's 999 plan, it raises taxes on 84% of the electorate, Obama's plan hits maybe 2-5%, who wins that argument? Cain is dismal on foriegn affairs(China's nukes, Uzbekistan) and much worse than Romney on the unborn. Many on the right may dismiss the sexual harrassment charges against him, but will moderates and the one-time soccer Moms out in suburbia? Cain means four more years of Obama.

Casey Abell| 11.11.11 @ 4:00PM

Nobody seriously expected Cain's 9-9-9 or 9-0-9 or whatever to get enacted. His supporters just liked him personally.

Well, now his female supporters like him a lot less. In this poll he's lost about half of the women GOPers who supported him...in less than a month.

This poll and the McClatchy poll earlier today pretty much agree on Cain's support: 18% vs. 17%. McClatchy sees a lot more support for Romney and Gingrich, though.

Averaging everything out over all the pollsters, Cain is definitely headed downward. Cain peaked at 26% in the RCP average a few weeks ago. He's now down to 22% with the latest two polls putting him in the teens.

Margie| 11.11.11 @ 4:39PM

"His supporters just liked him personally."

That's a blatant lie, and very condescending to those of us who back him.

We like him BECAUSE he's the real deal.
(That'd be a genuine conservative for those of you in La-la land).

Casey Abell| 11.11.11 @ 11:57PM

Oh jeeze, Margie again badmouthing anybody who dares to question Hormonal Herm. The poll numbers don't lie. Cain is sinking fast, especially because his support among Republican women is cratering.

Margie| 11.12.11 @ 12:04AM

Aww gee, Casey Abell does nothing but lie and badmouth Herman Cain (and anyone who backs him) here like a paid Troll would.
Hypocrite.

Casey Abell| 11.12.11 @ 2:10PM

Margie, your accusations of "lying" against anybody who questions Hormonal Herm are getting really funny. Can't you come up with something different? Like "poopy-face"?

Casey Abell| 11.12.11 @ 2:15PM

I only wish I was paid for my comments. Nobody giving me a cent for my posts. Too bad, I could use the money.

John| 11.11.11 @ 6:29PM

Herman Cain is a political junkie=a RINO. He should end his campaign, otherwisw he should be kicked out from the GOP field. He is a disaster who seeks to sabotage the GOP momentum. He praised Obama over and over and supported him since 2008. Now, Cain is a conservative and wants to beat Obama. Cain is a clown. He is disgrace. I will crusade to defeat Cain and Obama-the two vile person in the world.

somnolence| 11.12.11 @ 12:10AM

I've listened to Herman Cain's radio show for over 4 years now. Never once have I heard him praise Obama's domestic, economic, or foreign policies. Cain has more than proved his effectiveness. Look no further than the feverish desperation of a couple of posters above who are obviously in either the Paul or Romney camp. Please provide evidence that Cain supported Obama. I will vote for whoever the GOP nominee is. Unless he quits the campaign, which is highly unlikely I will support Cain all the way. The National Security Council would put Ron Paul in his place faster than his head could spin, and justifiably so. At least Cain hinted to Greta Van Susteren that he wouldn't be afraid to use nukes on Iran if needed. That sure as hell eliminates a ground war there, which is what Paul's compromise policies in the Mideast would lead to. Also, stop taking Cain's statement on China's nuclear position out of context. China still is in the DEVELOPMENT stage as far as seafaring carriers with nuclear capabilities go. Cain worked for the Navy Department in this field. He could run circles around 99.9 % of all the "experts" on this page in utilizing knowledge to offset covert actions by the enemy. Come up with something convincing to thwart our championing of Cain. So far you are falling on your face with your efforts to dissuade us. At any rate, he finishes no worse than 3rd, and will have enough delegates at the Convention(far more than Jesse Jackson had in 1984 and 1988) to be in a bargaining position if he doesn't get the nomination. Cain will play a pivotal role no matter if he is the candidate or not. Get used to it.

somnolence| 11.12.11 @ 12:17AM

Oh, you're worried so much about moderate's votes in suburbia? How did that work for us with the moderate candidate McCain in 2008? Don't try and tell me John McCain is more conservative than Herman Cain. If we go down the moderate trail, my assessment is 100 degrees opposite of yours, we will lose to one of the most weak, incompetent incumbents in American history. What worked politically in the past(Nixon was a prime example of that, conservative leaning in the first half, pragmatic-moderate-left of center in the second half) will not work now. That is part of the phenomenon of Cain.

somnolence| 11.12.11 @ 12:28AM

The philosophy of 9-9-9 encourages responsible, personal budgeting of essential purchases as opposed to pleasurable purchases. It therefore encourages saving and being resourceful, which should be a goal of most folks these days. Whereas some people spend $10.00 for lunch over two days, I can make $10.00 for lunch last over the course of 5 days. Instead of Big Macs try buying a couple of bags of shelled walnuts or almonds and a bag of baby spinach. Portion it out each day for the five day workweek. It is not difficult to do, and you would therefore avoid paying a lot of sales tax on the jaunt to a fast food restaurant each of those 5 days. Instead of spending money at the movies, check out DVDs from the library, etc. We need to become a nation of savers again. And if you cite the unemployment rate(the true one at 16.6 not 9), look no further than the current Oval Office occupant and his policies. Tell me with a straight face that Cain can't beat that. ROFLMAO
