    I voted for Herman Cain. I would like to vote for Paul but I cannot get passed his foreign policy concerning the middle east.

    I could live with Bachmann.

    MissJonelyn was using some ironic humor, I think. If a vote against Obama was necessarily motivated by racism, then why doesn't that same standard apply to Herman Cain, who, by the way, is more black than Obama is.

    Yes, I said more black. Not only is Cain fully black, unlike Barack, but he graduated from Morehouse college, a black college that MLK Jr attended, while Obama got a white, Ivy League education.

    So if the "vote against Obama is racist" applies to Obama, should it not even more so apply to Herman Cain?

    Oh the Irony!

    Of course Cain is more African than Obama. He also sounds more Black than Obama. And the college he went to is more Black than Obama's college. And the state he's from is more Black than Obama's State.

    He's just all around a better Black person. So, by definition, if you don't like Cain, you're an even bigger Racist than if you didn't like Obama.

    I'm not the first one to say it...

    I believe Al-Qaeda been wanting to attack America way before 1998

    That bit of rhetoric only works when used against those people who actually used identical rhetoric in '08. It doesn't work when used against those who were the very target of said imbecility. It kinda' loses its zing.

    Oh, wow... you just shoved your foot down your own throat. Watch your whole video.

    Perhaps, but this is because of the US government's intervention -- at least, that's that Ron Paul believes. He's not a 9/11 truther.

    LST probably closed for making up crap like that.

    Well if Cain is the nominee we can use the Reverse Race Card all we want.

    One of the main reasons I'd like to see him win the nomination.

    It's very obvious that Dark Helmet didn't bother actually watching that video since the entire point of it was that Dr. Paul is NOT an isolationist.

    There's a lot of misinformation going around about Ron Paul. I'm not a huge supporter, but I do like him and I've read enough of his views to know what is and what isn't. Perhaps the worst accusation is that Ron Paul believes the terrorists were justified in their attack because of our involvement in that part of the world. Of course this is nonsense to those who understand Paul's position on the issue.

    Though I am supporting Herman Cain during the primaries, I would gladly vote for Ron Paul (again) if he gets the nod to take down President Downgrade.

    How so? I'm pointing out that I'm not the only one who gets the impression that he's an isolationist.

    Well they tried to blow up the trade center in like 1991

    I think it boils down to the whole Israel issue.

    I remember when this stuff hit. Not a good idea to take money from just anyone.

    Yeah, let's oppress people for their skin color and religion, it's the American way. You want it to be politically correct to strips search Muslims, let's do it. Then when we (*)(*)(*)(*) them off and they want to fight back maybe we can take the entire Muslim population in the country and concentrate them into these areas.. let's just call them camps for now, is that ok with you too?

    I don't like Obama, not because he black but because he's a thieving, murdering (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*). I don't like Herman Cain because he's a bigot and will become much worse. I'm not even sure I'm going to vote in the next election at all because I feel helping to place someone in power, someone else doesn't want is immoral. However I do have to look out for myself first.

    Now you're kind of bringing up red herrings -- I was simply countering your points that Ron Paul is an isolationist, a 9/11 truther, and accepted money from Nazis. Ron Paul is not an isolationist as demonstrated by the video you provided. The media is not always right (believe it or not). Ron Paul is not a 9/11 truther as demonstrated by the video I provided. As for the Nazi accepting, the only source is nonexistent at this time, so there's not much evidence of that -- but I can't prove that something didn't happen, so I can't give you much for that.

    Good riddance. Now we don't have as many random candidates splitting the vote. Weed out the unknowns early so we don't have the same problem again like in 2008.
