Didn't know how to merge it all but can anybody explain what the Republicans are doing and how they feel about the black vote i.e. Alvin Greene and now Herman Cain this ? is obviously a puppet... But two questions I am. What is really so wrong with Mitt Romney and why won't the G.O.P. just back him and let him run against Obama... Educate me on this because Rick Perry just doesn't seem to have what it takes to make it in the general elections and he's fading faster than Fred Thompson, who the G.O.P. hyped up in '08. Why no love for Romney from the right?

These videos just really make me wonder wtf the G.O.P. are really up to, they don't wanna fully back Mitt Romney but they pull ? like this and expect me to vote for their "black candidate"?


skip to 2:10
If the G.O.P. was puttin this ? out there in '08 aint no way in hell im votin for Herman Cain in 2012.. Romney v Obama 2012

    Why don't they like Romney? Well I can answer that:

    There's alot more where that came from.

    Keep in mind that in SuperConservativeLand, its a article of faith that the current Republican Party is "too liberal" and "dominated by the liberal wing".

    To those conservatives, Romney is Satan.

    Any liberal hate/disillusionment towards Obama is DWARFED by the hate the far-right has for Romney, belee dat. I personally think he's gonna have to nominate someone totally ? right wing like Bachmann to prevent a grassroots 3rd party spoiler. Try to be a Romney fan on Free Republic, see what happens LOL...........you would have an easier time being a outspoken homosexual on the IC.

    okay, a brief list:

    -many people see him as having flip-flopped on issues, which is worrisome to people who want strict stances on principle/issues that are important to them;
    -he's seen as "not conservative enough" by conservatives by virtue of his time in Massachusetts;
    -bigots who do not like Mormons do not like Romney for obvious reasons
    -there's probably an point where people would generally agree that he's an "acceptable" candidate, but what they want is a candidate that really MOTIVATES people to vote

    I think Cain is a timewaster and a puppet set up to

    1. Make black men look bad in a general psychological sense (more reason for people on the fence about voting for Obama not to)
    2. To waste time until a real candidate emerges talking ? that Republicans want to hear. The later the entry the less time there will be to tear them down.

    Seriously, all these white blond broads coming out from under rocks talking about ? like Cain grabbed her ass back in 1997...like for real.......gtfoh.

    Couldnt put it any better myself, good post. I've heard conservatives on the radio say they would rather Obama win again than have a "phony" conservative like Romney win the GOP nomination.

    some people have long-standing issues with past Mormon beliefs (a good example of this is the racial stuff). some people have generic "i hate all people who are not Anglo-Saxon Protestants" bigotry that happens to apply to Mormons as well. it varies.

    remember too that this is a convenient position for a radio host or cable talking head who likes railing against Obama/Democrats for ratings, but not a great one for actual politicians who care about actual politics

    Herman Cain can barely raise any campaign money, he isn't winning ? . He's just there to try to rope some of the black vote.
