Tea Party Summit

Just saw a deal on FB where there was a Tea Party summit with a straw vote. Tim Pawlenty came in second to someone named Cain (no, not McCain). Who is this guy?

Son of Adam. Murderer of his brother Abel. Exiled and made to wander the earth... only to turn up 6,000 years later as the Presidential favorite in the Tea Part Summit straw poll.

Cain Thanks Palin for Publicizing His Column
Time Magazine / RealClearPolitics ^ | February 23, 2011 | Scott Conroy

Herman Cain may be a longshot Republican presidential hopeful, but the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza showed on Tuesday night that he is a savvy enough politician to take advantage of some free publicity from a far more well-known potential GOP contender.

When former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin posted to her Facebook page and her Twitter feed a link to a column that Cain had penned for Investor's Business Daily, the Atlanta businessman responded within minutes to underscore the high-profile exposure by thanking Palin over Twitter and adding an additional link to his piece for anyone who had missed it.

Cain's weekly commentary that Palin publicized was titled "Merely Taking Positions Is Not Leadership" and began with a jab at the press -- a device that Palin is no stranger to employing in her own public comments.

"All the attempts by the media to make stories out of the budget battles going on in Washington, D.C., will not change the bottom line of how it will end up, no matter how many ways they try to create a story," Cain wrote. "Namely, the taxpayers will get stuck with more debt and more taxes again."

Cain went on to chastise President Obama's proposed budget while praising the leadership of Republican governors Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Rick Snyder of Michigan....

So where does Newt Gingrich stand with the Tea Party? He's inching closing to declaring a bid for the presidency.

Love Herman Cain. Not sure if he is presidential material though (neither is Obama, but....). No nonsense guy who tells things like they are. If his name surfaces too much over the next couple of years, the MSM will have a field day just like they do with all black conservative republicans who stray off the masta's liberal plantation.

That's exactly what happened to Ambassador Keyes, who's run every election since at least 2000, but failed to get past the primary because MSM banishes him to the sidelines so they can portray Elephants as racist. If there's no "visible" African-American Republican candidate, the Republican base must be racist by definition when they don't vote for the African-American Democratic candidate.

By that argument, I guess, African-American Republicans who fail to vote for Obama are racist, too....

you've said a lot of crazy ass shit on this website... but this may be your craziest.

What "happened" to Allan Keyes was that he was marginalized because he is a NUTTER. Plain and simple - his ideas were rejected as crazy, by a GOP base that embraced Sarah Palin... THAT is how far out to lunch he is. The GOP didn't reject him because he was black, they rejected him because he's nuttier than squirrel shit.

Maybe you don't remember how much time and energy were spent in the run-up to the '96 election talking about Colin Powell as a potential GOP presidential candidate... but I sure as hell do. Had he run, he probably would have won.

The GOP gets branded as racist for one very simple reason: a BIG chunk of their base IS racist (or at the very least, deeply prejudiced). I should know - I spent 4 years organizing that base. Look at the the recent (last 40 years or so) history of the GOP - it's a story of peeling off racist southern Democrats (as the Dems embraced civil rights) and bringing them in to the fold with carefully chosen language (Nixon using the phrase "law and order" over and over - it had a double meaning... crush protesters - and make sure colored folk didn't move in to your neighborhood)

it's been that way ever since, to one degree or another. there are certainly elements of the GOP, and their base, who reject these views, and even find them repugnant - but frankly, they aren't the majority (the George Will's of the world)...

it's a problem when one of your key political strategies for motivating your base is (or perhaps, has to be) fear of the "other". It's one of their most effective strategies - and so even if they wanted to... it'd be hard to walk away from it.

"A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the tea partier and says,"look out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie."

But in real life, the union member would grab all 12 cookies and then demand that the CEO and the tea party guy buy the milk to wash them down.

No need to apologize, he can't hear you. Hell, I offered over a year ago to try being nicer if Baldy would try being smarter, but as you can see, he isn't interested.........
