There both very good public speakers with Obama/Romney. It would be an interesting debate. There’s no doubt in my mind Romney has already considered this senerio. Should be interesting.

Wasn’t Romney Pro-Choice once upon a time also? He’s already known to switch his stance through time though.

Next couple months will give everyone a clearer idea. If I remember with Hillary Clinton I believe it was one debate which caught here off guard. I can’t remember the issue. Personally I like Hillary Clinton. She would have made a very good first female President IMHO.
Romney used to be pro choice, so was Ronald Reagan, but since Romney’s become pro life he has quite a strong pro life record:

I am not convinced buy those that say Romney is a flip flopper, the reality is that peoples beliefs on issues can change no matter their age.
 
Your first few statements is actually one of the reasons why people like him
Ok. Then considering one of my first few statements included a Cain statement about an electirified fence, I’ll suppose then a portion of the electorate apparently likes a candidate for POTUS joking about sending electrical currents into human beings trying to cross the border.
 
No, it’s a race card either way. One I’ve seen used often on CAF.
Unfortunately, CAF is hardly the only place. I just listened to some comments Ann Coulter made and it seems like this presidential race could turn into a big pi_ _ ing contest to see whose “blacks” are “better”…(Excuse me while I fight off the waves of nausea with some deep breaths and thoughts of how long ago the Civil War was)… My personal opinion is that a ‘beat Obama with a black candidate’ strategy might produce some very interesting evenings in front of the TV in 2012…that is, if Romney allows it.

Since Republicans are not obsessed with the color of peoples skin the only ones who would look upon Heramn Cain as the “beat Obama with a black canidate” are left wing idealogues who wouldnt vote for him in the first place.
 
I have to agree. What is really bizarre is that it now comes out that Politico gave the Cain campaign 10 days advance notice before running the story. In ten days they were apparently unable to come up with a coherent response to the allegations. Instead the candidate gave three different versions of what happened in the span of 5 or 6 hours. If they can’t deal with a relatively simple issue like this with ten days notice, how is Cain going to handle the pressures of a general election, or, worse yet, handle the pressures of the Presidency?
🤷 I know. I guess I’ll just pray he never gets that 3 am call.

“Not obsessed”? You could have fooled me. If I remember correctly, the very first thread I found on Cain on this forum was barely 3 pages long before a supporter started on about his race. One of us should do a little research and see how many times Cain’s race was brought up in a post and who did the bringing up…But let’s keep it simple: this particular story is about sexual harassment; who are the ‘race obsessed’ commentators who made this about “our blacks” and “their blacks” and “racial stereotypes”? Or are Coulter, Limbaugh and their thousands of fans suddenly “left wing ideologues” in your book?
 
Having read Rush’s comments (from his own site), I would beg to disagree. The operative word was “black”. Specifically, he said that Cain was being attacked with black stereotypes because he is a black conservative.

The point of the whole conversation that I take away is that it’s only the ‘race card’ when ‘the left’ brings up race as a reason for politicians being attacked. Otherwise, it is political discourse.
I guess we interpret it differently.

How else does one interpret charges of sexual harassment that were really made and investigated (this was not some trumped up story or suggestive political ad a la Harold Ford) turning into “racial stereotypes”?
 
Don’t you think Romney would appeal more to moderates and independents than Herman Cain?
Yes which is why I question if the Democrats or the so called 'liberal media" are behind these allegations against Cain. I would think they would much prefer to run against Cain for the reason you state. Cain would appeal to a much smaller portion of the electorate than Romney. Not that Romney wouldn’t have his problems too of course.
 
Let this be a lesson to you, folks. If you are ever at a company event don’t consume any amount of alcohol, ever, even off-hours. In fact, don’t even try to tell an unscripted joke even if you are stone-cold sober. If someone even so much as thinks they overheard you throwing out a “that’s what she said,” in a private conversation you’re obviously disqualified from running for president. 😛

Well, unless you’re a Democrat. Then you can directly solicit subordinates for sexual favors and even admit to having extramarital affairs with your subordinates on the job and still be considered a prominent elder statesman.

I’m sorry, but do you have some inside information about the allegations? Drinking too much at a party, unscripted jokes, etc.: are you quite certain this is what happened between Cain and the two women?

I’ve been following the issue and so far, we haven’t heard from the two women, who are muzzled by their settlement agreements. We’ve heard Mr. Cain try to do damage control. However, we have very few reliable details about what happened except that two women made allegations of sexual harassment, left their jobs, and that at least one received a cash settlement.

As for your comments about unequal treatment of Democrats and Republicans, you’ll have to try harder than that. There are some bad actors on both sides of the aisle that have been caught with their proverbial pants down. Attacking politicians for their sexual misbehavior is a bipartisan affair, one that the press pursues no matter what the politics of the accused. Remember Bill Clinton? Matt Weiner? I think the handling of their cases was no less public and harsh than the many, many Republicans who’ve been accused of adultery, solicitation in men’s rooms, hitting on Congressional pages, flying down to S. American while supposedly hiking the Appalachian Trail, etc., etc. in recent years. I see no evidence of favoritism in the mainstream press over such things.

Republicans dont consoder Cain to be the “Black Canidate” Race , ehtnicity and gender is paramount, OTH, to Democrats. Republcians have been poiniting out the obvious-the specious way the Left tries to destroy any conservative black using sexual ineundo and charges of not being “black” enough
 
I do think Romney is fairly conservative, his position on immigration and abortion for instance are hardly the stands of a moderate or a liberal. Because Romney is a great debater I think in debates with Obama he could get out of any major comparisons they try to make between RomneyCare and ObamaCare, they do have major differences. But I understand what you are saying.
Depends on which Romney of the day are you speaking of.
 
The fact that Herman Cain paid off the allegations, proves that he is at least is not pro family, at most a lecherous predator of women.

Herman dodged the draft.

Herman Cain did no favors to the Godfathers Pizza chain employees as he closed stores and bungled sales figures. As a matter of fact, from an employees point of view, he was an utter failure.

Herman wants to raise taxes on the poor. How can any Catholic be for that?
Sure there are persona’s (sock puppets) who will bleat on and on how we need to tax everyone more and more for the foreign wars…

Why doesn’t the mass media do some vetting of him?
Doesn’t that remind you of another candidate from 2008?
😉
Doesn’t anyone find it strange how he always gets a pass from the media clowns?
Just like that other guy…

**Herman Cain did not sign the pro-life pledge. He states he is pro life, but when it comes to actually signing on it… **
How is it that Catholic persona’s represented on “catholic.com” can actually support this obvious imposter?

While so many Catholic persona’s represented on “catholic.com” see mass-media-flavor-of-the-week Cain as some sort of hero. HE IS NO HERO, He is not what this country or this world needs.

Seriously a failed 2nd rate pizza chain crony as president? Is faux news serious?!?
🤷
 
Hes the master at playing the race card. The ultimate white guilt liberal.
And how is that related to the topic of conservative commentators playing the race card for all they’re worth with this story? Don’t tell me they’re finally coming round to the dear Reverend’s viewpoints? 😉
