• Herman Cain leading the polls

[quote](CNN) - Businessman and conservative radio talk show host Herman Cain came out on top in a CBS/New York Times poll measuring support among likely Republican primary voters that was released Tuesday. In the first poll since CNN's Western Republican debate, Cain is ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by four percentage points, within the sampling error for the survey. One quarter of GOP primary voters support Cain, who has surged in national polls recently due in part, perhaps, to his easy-to-understand "9-9-9" economic plan and consistent debate performances. Romney received 21% support. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich netted 10% followed by Texas Rep. Ron Paul at eight percent. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has fallen to fifth place after early stumbles in candidate debates. He's also been hemmed in with stinging critiques from rivals on his positions regarding immigration and his support for a mandatory HPV vaccine. Perry received 6% support in the poll, half the amount he received in early October. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has also fallen out of favor it seems, after winning the critical Iowa straw poll in August. With two percent support, the congresswoman has struggled to stay relevant as public bickering between former and current staffers exploded in New Hampshire. Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman tied at one percent. But with 14% of likely Republican primary-goers undecided and roughly four out of five saying it is too early to say for sure who they back for the nomination, a chunk of potential supporters is still in play. The poll was conducted among 1,650 adults by telephone including 455 voters who said they plan to vote in a Republican primary. The overall sampling error for the survey is plus or minus two percentage points. The sampling error for the subgroup of likely Republican primary voters is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.[/quote] [url]http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/10/25/poll-cain-takes-top-position-perry-falls-to-fifth/?hpt=hp_t2[/url] If that poll is any indication of whats to come, than theres a lot to be worried about.

theres no such thing as an "unelectable idiot" [img]http://www.mikepellegrini.com/Graphics/bush_moron.jpg[/img]
I've said it before, I'll say it again; There is no way a republican will become president, and there will be no republican majority after the shit they've been pulling. I'll bet 30 dollars and my first born child on that.
How are people that dumb? Cain, apart from simply being a moron himself, is nothing more than Corporate America's chosen candidate, backed by Koch money. Every single "policy" he pushes is dictated by ultra-rich interests, and will do nothing but force more people into poverty. He does not give one flying fuck about anybody that isn't on a board of directors somewhere. Why will people so readily vote against their own interests?

A good lot of them are fucking retarded, it seems. And when I have to say that about my own country, it saddens me.
I'm still hoping Ron Paul will win the primaries... I can dream, can't I?

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;32963199]I'm still hoping Ron Paul will win the primaries... I can dream, can't I?[/QUOTE] I'm guessing you'd vote Cain anyway just to spite any possible Democratic victory or not vote at all.
People might actually elect Cain, as disheartening as it is.
I don't want to live in this country anymore.
I really didn't think Cain had a shot in hell at getting anywhere. It's really depressing to find out that people take this jack off seriously.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Even if Obama holds off the Republicans for another term, we are all screwed when that term ends, simply because the Republicans will have a great chance of beating whoever makes the Democratic nominee.
SON OF A BITCH Well, at least there's a bright side: [quote]Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has also fallen out of favor it seems, after winning the critical Iowa straw poll in August. [B]With two percent support[/B], the congresswoman has struggled to stay relevant as public bickering between former and current staffers exploded in New Hampshire.[/quote] Thank god.
I think Herman Cain is the better than the rest of the republican candidates. It could have been worse.

[QUOTE=TParlour;32962970]theres no such thing as an "unelectable idiot" [img]http://www.mikepellegrini.com/Graphics/bush_moron.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] As much as I don't like Bush, I don't think he even holds a candle to Herman Cain. That said, I hope Cain wins the Republican ticket. It will be an easy win for the Democrats in 2012.
Oh God Oh man Oh God This is gonna suck if he's elected. Like, a lot. I feel for you Americans. I really do.

His policies come from his own mind while Mr. Herm over here is a puppet.
You guyyyyyyyyyys.... You're being mean and racist! Don't say you dislike a person who happens to be blaaack!
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;32963521]I really didn't think Cain had a shot in hell at getting anywhere. It's really depressing to find out that people take this jack off seriously.[/QUOTE] He doesn't.

Also, God Emperor for president. The worst he'll do is not notice the taint of Chaos taking root in his most favored son.

To Republicans and many other Americans, they can get a hefty mix of bias going in either direction so I wouldn't count on it.
