Herman Cain winning by 1000 votes? Comon.

Crank up the viral machine ladies!

[EvilEngineer]

voted, though I feel like I just signed a black list. Kind of defeats the purpose of anonymous polls when I can track down every person by full name who voted for someone I don't like... and have their personal information... address... phone number... photos...

[agorist ninja]

I have to admit that Cain at least isn't nearly as bad as Pawlenty and Santorum.

Yes, he is. He's every bit as bad as they are. He was the chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve.

[ssantoro]

Voted and shared.

[manuel]

This whole Cain winning, could be the anti politician sentiment. I always hate these debates anyways, "you have 1 minute to give us an answer!"

[Brett85]

Yes, he is. He's every bit as bad as they are. He was the chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve.

Yeah, but foreign policy wise he at least seems to be more pragmatic than the others.

[AGRP]

Voted. What is this Cain thing???!!! I must have missed something.:confused:

Cain is the new Fox News darling.

Does this mean we're no longer the king of the internets? :(

[DailyLiberty]

Voted. . . for Cain. . .

Just kidding.

[BlackTerrel]

Does this mean we're no longer the king of the internets? :(

Haha.

To this point Cain is what Ron Paul was in 2008. A small army of dedicated followers who vote in polls. Very little on the ground support.

Paul is much more than that this go around.

[ForLibertyFight]

If you have a Page, you can click on "Use Facebook as .... " and vote on the poll!

Herman Cain (born December 13, 1945) is an American newspaper columnist, businessman, political activist, and radio talk-show host from Georgia. He is best known as the former chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza. He is a former deputy chairman (1992–94) and chairman (1995–96) of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

Cain supports economic stimulus, saying: "We could grow this economy faster if we had bolder, more direct stimulus policies,"

+1 on this. Some people seem to not think it's a big deal-- but I find they either have nothing or are named "David Smith" or something where there are countless of them. There is no way I would subject myself to this non-sense...

So, how can we use these lists of names to our advantage?

[Sentient Void]

I dont use my real last name on facebook anyways. fuck that noise

[BuddyRey]

Ron Paul FOR THE LONG HAUL!!!

This is the only CAIN.... that is relevant :)

Herman Cain?
WTF is wrong with people.
We have Trolls on this forum that are more articulate.

That whole debate was a bad joke. Is Fox out to deliberately destroy the Republican Party or the US as a whole?

[Kylie]

Voted.




Doesn't seem that we are "Winning". But I don't know that it matters.

Cain will roll his tripe out, but it's empty. Give him a half hour with Dr. Paul and you'll see it.

[PreDeadMan]

All i have to say is.. firefox, imacros.... GET TO IT PEOPLE :)

[Matt Collins]

Who the fuck is voting for him? Seriously.Socialcons with white guilt who don't know any better :(

[BlackTerrel]

Socialcons with white guilt who don't know any better :(

Or more likely people who support him.

He has a small but passionate following. He's not going to win.

[DXDoug]

voted. ITS cuz that who MSM is pushing right now .

[DXDoug]

o well this just shows MSM is trying to split the field agian, make no one a front runner and probably screw them up more then us. atleast we know and got going wat neeeds to go

[Matt Collins]

I have to admit that Cain at least isn't nearly as bad as Pawlenty and Santorum.
go to the "opposing candidates" section of the forum and look up Cain's comments and flip-flops on the Fed :(

[pcosmar]

go to the "opposing candidates" section of the forum and look up Cain's comments and flip-flops on the Fed :(

I don't need more than 30 seconds of that "debate" to wonder What the Frack he was even doing on that stage.

And I wonder even more at anyone taking him seriously.

FEMA CAMPS: Forced Ron Paul Meetups.

[Doug8796]

3419 for Ron Paul
6084 for Herman Cain

WTF?

[VBRonPaulFan]

yeah, all of his answers were specifically vague and general with no detail. he can do soundbytes. i have a feeling if he had 5 minutes to try to talk about foreign policy, the economy, civil rights, etc... he would fall totally flat. he didn't seem to show any grasp of the issues at all... because he never actually spoke to them.

[RCA]

Uh, you do realize you can vote more than once...

[Doug8796]

guys I was thinking .. This isnt necc as bad thing. I think the large majority (98-99%) voted for Herman Cain because the following candidates werent there (Palin, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Bachmann, Huckabee, Trump, among others). Ron Paul is still doing very well! I want him on top though :). This will perhaps make cains numbers go up (he is behind paul in every poll) and the 'real' front runners numbers go down.

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

I really hate this deferrment to 'advisors' and 'generals'. Do you not have a philosophy of your own Cain? It is also easy to defer the criticism off yourself and to them, which I think is one of the thing that most irks me about the whole thing and Democracy. No one takes responsibility for anything.

[Dreamofunity]

Cain beating us by 2.5k

[jrskblx125]

U can vote more than once!?

[Lucille]

Ron Paul's winning here: http://foxnewsinsider.com/2011/05/05/poll-who-came-out-on-top-in-the-first-republican-presidential-debate-2/

I went to Fox News' wall and, the top three listed on the poll are Cain, Johnson and Pawlenty. You have to click "3 More..." to see Paul, Santorum and No Winner.

[Flirple]

Cain automatically inherits all the Fairtax supporters and activists. They are largely why Huckabee got some traction last time. For that reason don't underestimate Cain even though he starts with little campaign infrastructure. I think he will prove to be the Teaocon's Ron Paul this cycle. He'll get a lot of support from the talk radio crowd and also because he's black and I think a lot of Tea-Party types will jump at the opportunity to support a black republican candidate as a way to inoculate themselves of being called a racist for opposing Obama.

[ForLibertyFight]

bump we need to win this

[Doug8796]

Cain now has 72K fans on fb now.

[iGGz]

Bump

[Dave Aiello]

Fox News steered the narrative after the debate to push Cain harder than I've ever seen anyone pushed in the history of mainstream media. The entire hour anointed Cain as the second coming.

[Razmear]

bump we need to win this

No, we really don't.
Web polls really don't mean much. FB polls even less.

[Doug8796]

The same thing happened at the Tea Party Patriots summit. Cain came out of no where and won. When was he a teaparty guy?

[Doug8796]

Razmear, true but if Paul loses they will def have it on their shows tomorrow morning. If Paul wins they will discount it as unreliable.

[Razmear]

All the FOX viewers were told that Cain won, so they are making the choice they were told was correct.

[Doug8796]

^Nice one..

[Matt Collins]

Socialcons with white guilt. And they think Cain can beat Obama just because he's a black Republican. :rolleyes:

[chudrockz]

There appear to be two threads on this now, but I'll bump this one anyhow -

I voted and Ron's behind still but only by a thousand votes er so!

[tropicangela]

Must be Cain poll spammers.

[jrskblx125]

I think you can vote a few times...

[pcosmar]

Can anyone tell me what he said that impressed them.
I listened. He offered no plan, Had no idea nor clear direction.

He spoke in nebulous generalities, and did not articulate that well.
I don't get it.
:confused:

I agree, its not about reason. Its about spin by Fox.

[sailingaway]

No, his supporters stuffed the place; Ron didn't commit to go until just before so we couldn't organize well. We won the online poll not knowing they were going to split the two, they made it sound like the two polls were the same.

[sailingaway]

Must be Cain poll spammers.

this is not a joke, they are using our old tactics to maximize their numbers. We have to pay attention to win.

[jmdrake]

Who the fuck is voting for him? Seriously.

- ML

People who know nothing about him except that has business experience, is black, and did decently in last night's debate.

[kahless]

The poll numbers and focus group is clearly being orchestrated by Foxnews to favor Cain. I do not believe there are any supporters. This is all being fabricated by Foxnews.

btw - I notice Cain's website is the only candidate that is non-specific on issues. He does not even list them or solutions.

[Kregisen]

No, his supporters stuffed the place; Ron didn't commit to go until just before so we couldn't organize well. We won the online poll not knowing they were going to split the two, they made it sound like the two polls were the same.

No they didn't. I was one of only 2 of RPFers actually there, and trust me, 90+% were senior citizens who did not know who Herman Cain was until he spoke. I heard many of them talking about suddenly liking Pawlenty and liking Cain.

Really, the only reason he is doing well in some of these polls is because he's black. Tea partiers have been called racists for years, so subconciously they are happy trying to prove skeptics wrong. He would be polling less than Buddy Roemer if he was white.

[Ranger29860]

Where these people watching the same debate? Hell pawlenty came off better than Cain. He gave no real answers and just acted tough but ignorant the entire night.

[BuddyRey]

At least we're closing the gap.

[tropicangela]

RP is consitently about 1,000 votes behind Cain on the FB poll. Still.

[S.Shorland]

WHAAAATTT?! Did he mention his stimulus views last night? He said nothing at all and I must have been bored to sleep if he did!

[tropicangela]

gap is now about 750 votes, need more

[Koz]

In my opinion what they like about Cain is that he has never held political office. That coupled with the fact that he was a CEO is what people like. Except for Ron, Rand and a select few others I don't like any elected officials in Washington.

[Kregisen]

752 votes behind....who hasn't voted yet?

[Sentient Void]

We can definitely do this. Are we utilizing our powerful social networks??? We got over 20,000 I think to vote for Paul in the freedomworks poll.

Make sure everyone is clicking the button in the top right and asking their friends!

[TheTyke]

Invited my friends... We need to invite all supporters!

[Wesker1982]

They didn't reset the facebook poll afaik. The ones that were reset were on the official Fox site.

[Dr.3D]

Perhaps I'm wrong here, but I have no intention of having a Facebook account. As much as people are worried about their privacy, many get an account where they proceed to tell the world, their life story.

I Just can't bring myself to get an account just so I can vote in some poll and I'm pretty sure many other Paul supporters feel the way I do.

[iGGz]

...many get an account where they proceed to tell the world, their life story.

I Just can't bring myself to get an account just so I can vote in some poll and I'm pretty sure many other Paul supporters feel the way I do.

Then don't. If you know how to properly use the internet and protect your privacy, Facebook shouldn't be a problem. I have a personal account on Facebook that I only have 40-50 really close friends. I don't have any personal information on it, I don't 'like' anything, I don't say my favorite TV shows, etc. It's basically blank. Then I have a few pages that I have made that I use to vote and comment on certain pages on Facebook with. Just because you have an account, doesn't mean you have to proceed to tell the world your life story. And so far 13,449 Ron Paul supporters DON'T feel the way you do.

We are sooo close on that damn poll.

Herman Cain - 13,515
Ron Paul - 13,449

[Sentient Void]

That's understandable, but for those who do - we should definitely flex our social media / grassroots muscle.

Honestly, how herman Cain even has this kind of support he does blows me the fuck away. It's ridiculous.

We've almost got him in this poll though. We should blow past him... So make sure were sending the poll to our friends!

We've done really well catching up, though.

Agreed. I do use it to my full advantage, upload my pictures, share tons of news and articles, videos, etc with my libertarian network, have my friends and family there too, and engage in group discussions and debates online constantly. A lot of my info is filled out and I 'like' stuff all the time. My location is vague though and not entirely accurate, my employer isnt listed nor my schools I attended, and my last name is a pseudonym - so I don't have the fears that many others do here.

[Dr.3D]

No need to get excited about what I said.....

I only pointed this out, because of those who might feel like I do, this may be the reason it is so difficult to get a bigger showing on this Facebook poll.

[tropicangela]

54 behind!

13,521 Cain

I'm not angry or anything I was just emphasizing that part. And I can COMPLETELY understand if you don't want Facebook. I actually had left for a couple months, but realized how useful it was to keep in touch with old friends.

To each their own.

Yes! Paul is ahead.

Yeah because Republicans prefer to vote for black people.

Yeah right...

Yeah because Republicans prefer to vote for black people.

Yeah right...

In this instance, yes. They see him as a person they can use that you cant use the race card Obama supporters love to use all the time.

[BlackTerrel]

In this instance, yes. They see him as a person they can use that you cant use the race card Obama supporters love to use all the time.

I seriously doubt it. This "they only like him cause he's black" argument is tiresome. Maybe some people actually agree with his ideas.

Especially considering these are Republicans we're talking about. I'll admit Obama gets 90% of the black vote. I doubt Herman Cain gets 1%.
