ON THE KEVIN McCULLOUGH SHOW:
1. THE HEADLINE ITEMS:
I believe Herman Cain has lost his bid for the nomination. His inexplicable inability to articulate what a pro-life position is, will devastate his ability to carry the base for the nomination. I listen and demonstrate how on today’s show. kmcradio@gmail.com
2. THE PRACTICAL DILEMMA:
A new movement in public schools is forcing parents to allow their kids to be exposed to naked indoctrination with no opt-out to the most objectionable parts. So should parental rights be equivalent to first amendment religious protections? Your replies: kmcradio@gmail.com.
3. THE GOD THOUGHT:
“There is nothing more selfish than sorrow, and there is nothing more absorbing unless we guard against its tendency to monopolize. Work for the benefit of others, work for God’s purposes–work–is our best comforter next to the promise of God’s Holy Spirit.” CONTINUE: “God Thought” on facebook!

Herman Cain “lost” before a single vote was cast? Color me…
Conufsed.

That tends to happen gryphon when you say ridiculous things that the base ends up hearing about…

Opened mouth and inserted foot one too many times.
Perry knows this all too well. He failed the purity test yet hasn’t changed his stance.
Cain flops like a fish, resembles Romney more each day, yet nothing sticks.
Such is the nature of the purity test.

Except that not a single vote has been cast. And Herman Cain’s poll numbers have barely dented. I think you’re letting your personal feelings towards him get in the way of your normally trenchant analysis, Kevin.
gryphon202 on October 24, 2011 at 8:57 PM
I can think of a million reasons to say that Mr. Cain is pro-life..

The only people paying attention to this “issue” are political junkies, bloggers and talking head pundits.
The rest of country is worried about jobs, the deficit and out of control government.
It’s the economy Kevin.

How much do you believe that might matter to the reactionary, words-speak-louder-than-actions crowd?

It ain’t over ’til it’s over and it ain’t even started yet. Chill, Kevin.

And the paid tools of conservative fakes Romney or Perry or YourCandidate taking advantage of the situation, right?
Chillax!

This is the most telling aspect of this story imo.
Too bad for the servile personality cultists that they can’t understand that people like us have gravitated towards Cain to a large degree because their crassly opportunistic candidates repelled us away from them.

I’m absolutely certain of Cain’s position on abortion: he’s willing to pay a million bucks of his own money to stop it. That’s a heck of a lot more pro-life than any other candidate. If he stumbles with finding the line between pro-life and small government, I won’t fault him for it. I’m also quite sure that given the choice he’ll put strict Constitutionalists on the SC, and that’s all anybody should care about.
And it’s “Cinderella”, not “Cinderalla”.

Cain’s position does seem to ramble a bit, but that is not what will keep him from getting the nomination. How well he can explain his 999 plan and get people to accept it, because a lot of folks don’t think too much of a national sales tax. He is very deficient in foreign policy, more so than our current leader, at a time when it will become very important to the security of the country.

Thank you. Honestly, is there no ombudsman for the Green Room? Can anybody get published for anything?
fossten on October 25, 2011 at 10:03 AM
OK now that’s pathetic right there.
NYT/CBS poll puts Cain up 4 over Romney
“Cindarella” found her shoe.
