Herman Cain wins Florida straw poll in stunning victory; Rick Perry in deep trouble

Summary: During the Florida Straw Poll, "Cain’s victory with 37 percent of the vote was a major defeat for Perry, the frontrunner in Florida and national polls, who garnered only 15 percent after wooing the nearly 3,000 party faithful with a free breakfast and mailers. "

“Many straw poll voters were especially dissatisfied by the answers Perry gave over his moderate immigration position”

It was not a moderate answer. It was a classic liberal answer. Amazing that Perry isn’t even conservative enough to even pretend to speak like one.

*

Still is time for Perry to right his ship. Question remains whether I WANT him to. (I guess I just have no heart. /sarc)

*

"Mitt wouldn’t be trying to muddy the RINO Cowboy’s water by conducting a little Operation Chaos action, would he?"

Liberal blood runs in his veins and I would not put it past him.

I would like nothing better than both of them announcing they are leaving the race.

*

This just may be the kick Cain needs to get ahead from here on. He’s my man, above all others. I love Sarah, I love Michelle, but I honestly believe in this day and hour, we need a man at the helm (flame away that I’m sexist - not so - it’s just that neither S nor M are a Margaret Thatcher...)

Taking another risk, I’ll post what I said in another thread:

Cain is the one for me: Straight shooter with solutions that can out-debate almost anyone; true blue conservative & Christian; proven executive with turn-around expertise; brilliant, articulate, counters with between-the-eyes strikes, ALWAYS directly answers the question asked of him, and he’d get at least 40% of the black vote. His answers always #1. Identify the problem; #2. Explains the solutions. Lastly he disarms the liberal claims that to oppose Obama is racist.

He’d clobber Obama in any debates because O would have his TOTUS.

I don’t like his 9% national sales tax (all libs have to do is later double it), but it’s better than what we have now and does solve a LOT of problems.

I do believe Cain is the MAN of the hour above all others...

*

It's not "society's" education dollars, that is the money earned by each family, and worked to earn it for their own kids, Rick. We passed the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. Charity is a positive force for good, but each individual retains the right to make that charitable decision, including the choice to give funds voluntarily to help poor children from around the world obtain more education - it's not the government's decision.

*

Ricardo Perry lost it when at first he went on the states rights when it came to the homo agenda when homo’s are trying to get even more special laws and now openly serve along with cross dressing freak but then blew it when it came on to the immigration and then called many bigots

*

I’m not sympathethic with the anchor’s and the education thing.....They need to go....Education for our AMERICAN children...fine.....Other then that, good bye...

*

I love this.

The idea of putting a real CEO in charge of the Executive Branch following a proven business plan (the Constitution of the United States of America) - seems fitting.

*

I am not shocked, but nicely surprised. Hooray for the man who is best qualified to get this country running right again.

I have been a Cain supporter since the first debate. I noticed then, and as always, that he does not get into the "fray" when it comes to picking on, or degrading other GOP candidates. He is straight business, very direct and concise with his answers, very sure of himself, and maintains his composure. All marks of a true leadership abilities...which his record of achievements proves 100%.

*

Sarah will choose the time to announce when she's good and ready and not when the media tells her to. She's running an unconventional campaign. She's not in it to please the establishment.

Palin is the superior candidate. Why would she give the media time to pick her apart on the issues and pick apart her family when she can wait until the right time to announce.

On Wednesday, November 7, 2012 I suspect Sarah Palin will make her decision based on whether or not Cain has beat Obama.

That way he can hand her over the Presidency. She'll be the default President. Cain will be Palin's VP. Whoever ran on the ticket with Cain will just claim they cannot serve due to family problems.

*

"Herman Cain deserves the top of the ticket and would make a far better President than Sarah Palin."

Cain appears to be a nice fellow, seems sincere, and speaks of some conservative truths. But, stating he would make a "far better President than Sarah Palin" is stretching things to the point of leaving me wondering on just exactly WHY this case can be made.

What is his "record" that would support that versus former Gov. Palin?
What are his stated "positions" that would support that versus former Gov. Palin?
And the trump card here (for any candidate) versus Sarah Palin...

What are the ACCOMPLISHMENTS that would support that versus Sarah Palin?

I would engage this debate with FACTS and not rhetoric!

*

"I love Sarah, I love Michelle, but I honestly believe in this day and hour, we need a man at the helm (flame away that I’m sexist - not so - it’s just that neither S nor M are a Margaret Thatcher...)"

Since I'm wearing my flame retardant suit, I'll draw away some of the flame by agreeing with you. I'm as big a Sarah fan as the next person, but the Oval Office is a MAN's place. The most grave responsibility that the occupant of the Office is burdened with is the choice of who lives and who dies. Women of Sarah's ilk want everyone to live. There are circumstances that render that render that desire moot.

It's one thing to send uniformed military against another country's uniformed military in armed conflict. It's an altogether different thing to vaporize 2 million North Koreans or 100,000 Chinese babies in a strike on Beijing. Yet the thought that an American President will not hesitate to do so to protect America goes a long way toward giving the despots pause. My fear is that a woman will act according to her nature and seek resolutions that aren't possible to avoid doing the unthinkable when she should be launching ICBM's.

Having said that, If Sarah ends up being the nominee, I promise I'll be the first in line to vote for her and work for her victory.

Everybody is NOT deserving of a college education.

But...everybody IS deserving of protection from ILLEGALS, DRUG GANGS, MURDERERS, THIEVES, AND TERRORISTS COMING ACROSS OUR BORDERS TRYING TO KILL US!

Happy 15th Anniversary FreeRepublic.com! Established September 23, 1996

Just a short one.


Thanks, John and the mods for all you do!

And thanks to all the FReepers who over the years have kept Free Republic the liveliest, most informative and fun place on the Web!

And a special thanks to all those who have donated to keep Free Republic online. Woo hoo!

*

I remember being on another forum and one of the regular posters popping in and talking about some place named Free Republic that had just went on line the day before. So I checked it out, saw all the anti-Clinton stuff and thought ‘awesome’.

Can’t believe it’s been 15 years.

*

Fondest memory: the site crashed due to heavy traffic the weekend Drudge broke the Lewinsky story.

The Sore / Loserman wars.

The Great Schism -

The Clinton Trial

*

It is my absolute conviction that IF we manage to save this great republic it will, in no small measure, be due to the existence of FreeRepublic.com and all the GREAT folks brought together by this great forum that YOU put in place Jim Robinson!

*

Happy Birthday to the BEST place to be on the internet if you are a conservative, God-loving gun toting Patriot.

Thank you for making it possible for our voices to be heard!

*

Seems just like yesterday we showed up 5000 strong and helped impeach a worthless scumbag...

If only we had been so organized in the early 60's when there was still a chance to stop this slide into abject tyranny...

God bless Jim. Certainly God has blessed those Americans who still believe in a Constitutional Republic by giving us Jim...

*

I firmly believe that if FreeRepublic.com had not existed during the recount in 2000 Al Gore would have been declared the winner.

The Worst Fox News-Google Debate Moment: Audience Boos a Gay Soldier

Article from the Atlantic

One man's worst moment is another man's finest, most heroic hour.

*

"Booing a soldier serving our nation is uncalled for."

He’s not being booed for being a soldier, he is being booed for his behavior. Being a soldier does not indemnify one against their other actions being judged.

"And I suspect if a soldier was booed at a Dem event, you wouldn't be defending the action because "he wasn't being booed for being a soldier" (which NO ONE has suggested).

As a soldier, he deserves the respect of those whose lives he is defending with his own. Has nothing to do with condoning his point of view.

Man, we can't even show simple respect to our soldiers anymore unless they're "our" kind of soldiers? What the heck is going on here?"


---Since I know you'll ask, the person who said soldiers shouldn't be booed was not banned, but their profile now says that they have voluntarily left because they are annoyed with the hive mind mentality.

*

“Any type of sexual activity has no place in the military”

This can’t be repeated enough. Gays out. Women waaaaay in the back / homefront. Soldiers in.

Keep that stuff at home, off base, or on shore-leave.

*

Honesty is the best policy. Coddling a pervert who incidentally got beat up, fired, served his country, is sick, etc., is polite, but not honest. These homos need to accept that their actions are sick demented and immoral, not parade their deficiencies as though they were badges of achievement.

*

If you say you will put DADT back—you will get the military vote.
The privacy of the ballot protects from being arrested by the PC MPs for the new military thought crime of “homophobia.”

*

How do we know that some of the booers at these debates weren’’t agents-provocateurs planted by the other side? (Inquiring minds want to know).

*

That soldier wanted to out himself as gay and people didn’t approve—just like that gay military magazine said—GET OVER IT.

*

It's interesting how the MSM can spin this by saying Republicans were booing a soldier.

*

He got to ask a question ONLY BECAUSE HE"S GAY!!

Open Gays in the military is the WORST thing that has happened to this country.

*

What if he said he’s a PEDOPHILE???? What would be the difference??? He ONLY wants to think about SEX, ANAL SEX!!! They were RIGHT in BOOING! It’s DISGUSTING!

*

The only bad thing was that it was only 3 or 4 people that had the courage to boo. People are so afraid to speak the truth. A Republican debate...full of Republicans.... where people boo or cheer the positions they hear...and only 3 or 4 boo this pervert? A sad day indeed.

*

I don't give crap about queer soldiers they can GTH. The only reason why this DADT repeal is flying is that the economy is so bad. As soon (if ever) the economy picks up the volunteer military is finished.

*

"How is he 'forcing his sin on' you, unless you're hanging around people like that?"

We pay their salaries, Every sailor, soldier, airman and/or marine is a representative of our country. The faggot soldier give the wrong impression, that we are weak and effeminate and not serious like the Europeans. It's dangerous. You are dangerous and are probably gay to boot. Heck maybe that was you in the youtube.

*

He was booed for promoting the homosexual agenda. He should be thrown out of the army for homosexuality or at least tested for steroids. People are sick and tired of tolerance politics.

Santorum hit a home run on that question.

*

"Man, we can't even show simple respect to our soldiers anymore unless they're "our" kind of soldiers?"

If you can't tell the difference between a respectable soldier and an embarrassment to the uniform, you are a moral castrato and your opinion is worthless.

Honor apart from morality does not exist.

*

“As a soldier, he deserves the respect of those whose lives he is defending with his own. “

Nope. No defending fudge-packers. He wasn’t booed for military service. THAT would be a Democrat debate!

He was booed for wanting fudge-packers to be allowed to openly parade their perversion in the military. He was booed for believing a guy stuffing his cock into another guy’s butt is the same as marriage. He was booed for violating natural law, for it doesn’t take much sense to realize that a man’s penis wasn’t meant for another man’s anus.

If the soldier had asked for approval of screwing little boys, or dogs, or having 4 wives, would you say we still need to applaud him?

*

I think it was the question that was booed, not the soldier.

Fox News Under Fire For Article Calling Obama's 50th Birthday Bash A 'Hip-Hop BBQ'

One month old, but just as tasty!

Article is about this actual screen shot from Fox Nation:



For more on that, here's an article.

What is really hypocritical is that MSNBC was the same network that edited out Black People to sell their debunked point that the Tea Party was suppose to be full of racist. Turn about is fair play.

*

Fox didn’t do anything but dscribe it accurately.

*

Interesting. I had wondered if there had been any reports about Obama being a drinker after reading in The Bible, in the book of Habakkuk what seems to be about the antiChrist, that he would be a drinker. Much of the rest of the context sure reminds me of Obama.

Hab 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Hab 2:4 ¶ Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Hab 2:5 ¶ Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and [is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:

*

Who cares what the critics have to say? They're a joke, and unable to offer serious solutions to our culture's demise.

"Racism" is barely a serious charge any more. It won't be long before being tagged a "racist" will be a badge of honor.

*

As I said before, and I will say it again, “I DON’T LIKE THE “WHITE” HALF EITHER’!!!!
This guy is Half White - what is it with all this race crap.
It makes no sense at all. He had a white Mom -

*

Such sensitive morons.

You gotta call it as you see it.

BTW, If Bush had a BBQ at the WH and ran around
barefoot, what would the left say?

*

Fearmongering and the race card is all the white communist liberals have to convince the uninformed and/or ignorant to vote for them.

*

It s disturbing to see how racism has got us where we are. The Housing crisis was started by the anti-red lining rules that were based entirely on race. These rules eventually led to lenders being required to make loans to people they knew weren't credit worthy based on making amends for "racial injustice".

Obama, of course, would not be president if it were not for overt racism. It's doubtful he would have been a Senator, an attorney or even a college graduate if it weren't for racism.

Hacks like Holder would surely not be in their position of power if not for racism.

Racism fuels the "progressive" movement and "white guilt" over racism is the basis for much of the liberal ideology.

If we don't recognize and confront this problem, our country has no future as the Republic our Founders envisioned.

*

How come the gender card is never called into play when the bashing of Palin-Bachmann-Coulter occurs?

*

FUBO GTFO 2012 !

The problem is that Fox News is so white they can’t tell the difference between hip-hop and gangsta rap. Word tuh ya mutha, yo!

Moochelle smells like cooking chitterlings.

The problem has already been addressed in South Carolina. Six obuma thugs are each facing 20 years in prison under the state’s anti-lynching law for forming a mob and “rioting.”

What is your state, Minnesota, doing about obuma thugs?

If you need assistance, we’ll be happy to help.

GOP leadership faces possible tea party revolt in 2012 (electoral bloodbath for both sides?)

Summary: "Tea party activist David Lewis’s announcement Friday that he plans to mount a primary challenge to House Speaker John Boehner could indicate a larger problem for the GOP leadership, and point to restlessness among an important segment of the tea party faithful. "

Note: While looking up articles about David Lewis, the Tea Party activist who will be challenging Boehner in 2012, I found this more general the most interesting, so this is based on that request.

Repealing Obamacare was also part of the deal—Anyone remember that?

*

And some folks here think that Tea Party members are going to blindly support rinos like rick Perry and Romney.

The GOP establishment types here and in Washington have another thing coming.

*


Some ask what happened to that $100 Billion in spending cuts promised by the GOP going into the 2010 election?

They promptly kicked that can down the road, as they have every 'cuts' bill while putting 'spending' bills on the front burner.

The GOP leadership are being called on their ole dipsy-doodle fast-shoe shellgame.

*

Yes, it will be a blood bath on both sides. The Repus have a leader who is more likely to go along with obama than not, has done squat in repealing obamaCare. We have dems that are becoming more insane by the minute and marzist coat tails of obama will drive conservatives to the polls to get rid of these people.

*

I guaranty it! The silent majority is roaring!

*

Obamacare and quit shifting debt to our grandchildren. Cut spending to bring it in line with revenues. Any idiot knows that. Also stop corporate welfare. I pay more Federal taxes than GE. Incrediable.

*

This david Lewis guy is a whack job. Heard him interviewed on Fox and he has one issue funding for Planned Parenthood. Texas ended any State funding for it and several of them have closed.

When asked about other issues he couldn’t comment and just returned to the same isue over and over.

Makes the Tea Party look less than serious. I hope the vast majority of TP’rs, don’t make the mistake of jumping in for another Christine.

*

“Tea party activist David Lewis’s announcement Friday that he plans to mount a primary challenge to House Speaker John Boehner...”

I saw the guy being interviewed on Fox. Boehner doesn't have anything to worry about for him. He sounded like an idiot ranting about stuff he didn't have a clue about.

It was embarrassing to watch, like a Ron Paul or code pinko nut off the deep end on everything.


--- This POV is why the comments on the other articles about Lewis weren't that interesting.

*

Exactly what has Boehner done to derail Onada’s Marxist agenda? Please be specific and do not include things he allegedly “tried” to do. We have a bullet proof majority in the House. Boehner made no attempt to even bring bills to the floor and force the demrats to vote.

Any objective person can only conclude he has acted as Onada’s useful idiot—aiding and abetting the Marxist’s agenda.

*

I could watch Tammy Faye Boehner clean out his desk without shedding a tear if a tea partier was taking his seat.

*

David Lewis makes Ron Paul look measured and responsible. The guy is a nutjob, which is why you’re reading this story on Yahoo - they love crazy “Tea Party activists”.

Navy officer weds partner as gay ban ends

Article from CBS

Summary: "When Navy Lt. Gary Ross and his partner were searching for a place to get married, they settled on a site in Vermont, in part because the state is in the Eastern time zone.

That way, the two men were able to recite their vows before family and friends at the first possible moment after the formal repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Just after midnight Tuesday, the partners of 11 years were married."

I cannot comment on the article for fear of getting banned from this forum for life.

--- The ironic thing is that this could mean he intended to make a death threat, or that he intended to congratulate them.

*

""It requires you to lie several times a day," Ross said of the old system. "Being in the military is extremely invasive. It becomes a web of excuses you make when you try to be as honest as possible but you can't be honest.""

He's right. This IS why DADT was a terrible idea. We should go to pre-DADT policy and BAN ALL HOMOSEXUALS. That would make military life much easier.

*

What this administration has done to our military is beyond disgusting.

*

"The question is, can it possibly be undone?"

I was wondering that too. I don't know the answer to that, but I would assume it could be done. If all the Republican candidates are saying they can do away with something so complex as Obamacare, I would think they could reverse this. Deserves some web surfing.


*

How in the hell could either of those two possibly pass a drug test?

*

Expect more and greater disasters to hit the U.S.

*

"We" told God to buzz off.

"We" decided that killing babies is a constitutional right.

"We" spent years propagandizing for diseased faggots on movies and television.

Now "we" are shocked to see a picture of three diseased-looking queers, one in a Naval Officer's uniform, pretending to have a wedding?

I'm not shocked.

Scandalized and disgusted, but not shocked. It was predictable.

This will end badly, and lots of "innocent" folks will die, because of this.

*

"I’m 72 and amazed.
Just never thought I would see this country go this low."

You have three decades on me but I feel the same. It’s happening faster each year. Things I never would have considered even 10 years ago are common today.

As someone else stated above..... there are societal consequences and the price we will pay eventually continues to grow.

*

What I don't like is the headline: "Navy officer weds partner as gay ban ends"

That is purely discusting.

Instead of saluting I would give them the middle finger and get thrown out.
If they want to do it on their own that is their business. But now they are flaunting it.

*

How can the medical profession, condone those who substitute the anal cavity (with its HIV & ecoli germs) for a female’s vagina? How many servicemen need the rectum surgery?

*

They did not marry each other.

They entered into a legally constructed partnership defined by a state government, which has defined the terms of a specific marriage for the sole purpose of advancing special class rights above the rights of all others.

A marriage is the union of a man and woman. It is universally accepted and longed for between men and women and parent for their progeny.

There are no parents who don’t cry upon learning their child is gay as their family tree has just ended and they realize there will be no grandchildren for them to fuss over or spoil.

*

Next they will be legally marrying animals and (then) having live sex with them on their "altars" after the civil or legal ceremonies. Don't laugh. If this can come (sorry, no pun intend), than anything can transpire.

All bets are OFF.

Unfathomable by any of the Founding Fathers, the greats like General Eisenhower or Patton or LeMay.

*

THIS is Obama’s legacy and comdemns his sorry soul to the fires of hell. He and his fellow dimocrats who hate the Lord Jesus Christ will burn in eternal fires of the Lake of Fire for all time. Their time is coming. Of that I am sure. GOD will deal with them. THAT I AM SURE!

*

Which one will be the wife? Or do they take turns?

*

"Gays are now openly serving in the military and I can’t see how it can be changed now."

Executive Order. Good order and discipline in the Armed Forces of the United States, of which the President is Commander in Chief and the solitary authority.

If he wants them out, they're out, no arguments. He could defy the Supreme Court if it came to it, and simply declare the matter to be under his sole jurisdiction IAW Article II of the Constitution.

*

I predict another Civil War. I also predict the New Confederate Army will not be homosexualized.

*

The longer it stays in effect, the harder it will be to undo it. More so because there will be no visible negative effect, whatever there will be, is going to be hard to prove as a cause-effect relationship.

*

>>>What this administration has done to our military is beyond disgusting.<<<

And this muslim-in-cheif didn’t even offer those that volunteered (which is everyone) for service under a DADT policy the option to get out now that he changed the rules on them.

*

What color dress did the bride wear, and how many children are the couple plan on having—— oh wait two guys married, never mind.
