61. misaligned font and all....

:rofl:

[MineralMan]

62. Yes, so clever those GOP web designers.

Sheesh!

[grantcart]

66. priceless. You should make this its own OP

[MineralMan]

75. Too late. They've already dumped the image for one of Cain

and his lovely wife.



Based on that, I'm betting that he'll be announcing today that he's STAYING in the race. At least until January, when matching funds kick in.

[grantcart]

76. Then start an OP showing the change. If it gets to the top of the greatest

maybe Rachel or someone else will pick it up.

I don't see this anywhere else in the MSM.

[panzerfaust]

79. Cheap?! BS MineralMan - It cost NINTEEN Buck$

[Sheepshank]

18. Fundies every freaking where

"Mr. Cain, I became involved with your campaign because I prayed myself into it. I believe that YOU are the man that God has blessed with the skills, the abilities, and the courage to truly Renew this nation..."

FYI followers of Bin Laden felt the same way too.

[EFerrari]

38. If we were smart, we'd figure out a way to market to them.

Last night, I thought about making felt church hats to sell only at mega churches. I could decorate them with the symbols of all the stuff they say they care about -- Jesus on a dinosaur, US flags, unborn babies, bootstraps, English, bibles. purity rings, little portraits of (mis)leading conservatives. They would look like an inside out piñata or like Reagan threw up on a pink pool table. GodsPromiseChurchWear.com

I think it could work.

[pacalo]

52. !!!

[Politicalboi]

65. I thought about making money off these fools too

Right after I saw the 2000 election, I thought if there was only a way to get $1.00 from the 300 million idiots who voted for Bush, I would be on easy street. Then I thought about making a T-Shirt for the Teabaggers that said "Kenya Believe it" and sell it at Teabagger rallies. I never did that either, but don't let that stop you. They are fair game, and should be taken at every turn.

[EFerrari]

69. What is your hat size?

:P

[Politicalboi]

73. LOL!

I don't know off hand, I don't wear hats, but the Jesus on a dinosaur sounds like s dandy.

[sabrina 1]

68. And then use the money to get real Progressive candidates

elected.

Why let all that fundamentalist cultism go to waste?

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

71. If they buy two or three hats, that's less money for guns and Confederate flags

and really, really bad web sites.

lmao.

[sabrina 1]

74. Lol, true!

I like your idea, it is a way to recirculate money and direct it towards more worthy causes, while they remain happy and no one is hurt, with their fundie merchandise.

If we don't do it, someone else will, someone like Abramoff eg who took them for millions and gave them nothing, not even a hat. Remember the phone callers getting donations from the same poor people, claiming to be Christian Organizations, with names like 'Christians for Family Values'? But there were no organizations at all, just phone numbers and mail boxes to send the money to.

At least your way they get something! :-)

[dixiegrrrrl]

63. That photo is now GONE from Cain's webpage!

Could it be possible he read this thread??

Look: gone....:at least on my browser..

Probably a step forward for them.

But thumb sex? I guess I am just a regular old square American, because I cannot understand what attracts Republicons to their, um, kinks and jollies & stuff.

New Herman Cain ‘Women For Cain’ Site Headlined By Stock Photo Of Female Fans

by Tommy Christopher | 12:58 pm, December 2nd, 2011

The embattled Herman Cain presidential campaign has launched a “Women For Cain” website, chaired by Gloria Cain, that is drawing attention for it’s conspicuous timing, and for attacks on Cain’s accusers that are being posted there. What’s also fascinating, though, is the campaign’s decision to go with a stock photo of “Four happy young women holding their thumbs up,” rather than using a photo of actual women supporters of Cain in the site’s banner.

While the site’s intro doesn’t mention it, Women For Cain is obviously a response to this week’s bombshell accusation by Ginger White, accompanied by phone records and a horribly unhelpful statement by Cain attorney Lin Wood, that the candidate engaged in a 13 year affair with her. Cain has denied the allegation, but has admitted to some things that are hard to explain.

TPM notes that the Cain supporters who are posting on the site have not been shy about discussing the allegations against Herman Cain, and leveling “brutal attacks” on his accusers:

- snip -

Setting aside the questionable value of the site (Cain is so done, you can visibly see the pop-up timer), and even more questionable taste of shoving Mrs. Cain out in front when she hasn’t even seen him since the story broke, if you’re going to do a site like this, isn’t this the one time you want a picture of real live female supporters up top? Yes, the use of stock photos on political websites is commonplace, but in this case, it just lends itself too easily to punchlines, most obviously that the campaign couldn’t find three flesh-and-blood women to give Cain the thumbs up, so they had to buy them.

4. Good grief! Has anyone read the testimonials?

[pacalo]

54. This one really made my head spin...

"Sir, I firmly believe that you were sent to our nation through Divine Providence and I believe that you are the man to preserve our Republic for our children. Remember, you have overcome many adversities in your life. You have pulled yourself up by your bootstraps through sheer determination and honesty. You were delivered from cancer. My prayers are for strength and guidance for you and your beautiful family this weekend."

[stevedeshazer]

70. Just did. I have to throw up now.

Ugh.

[MADem]

5. The "up your ass" hand gesture is priceless, but the comments are absolutely amazing.

There are people that stupid who walk the earth?

[aletier_v]

8. Yes. I've been reading FR

I can't get my mind around the denial.

It's like a rock wall, resistant to even nuclear explosions.

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. Look at the pics.....are they ALL white women?

This is a very clever ad page.
I wonder how many of the testimonials are real.

[tblue37]

56. Probably not. Those are written by paid shills and/or campaign staff

(but that phrasing is redundant).

OR ELSE, the testimonials are actually deliberate parody, and this is Poe's Law in operation.

[redwitch]

6. The letters are AMAZING!

How can these be for real? I love the woman who "prayed herself into his campaign". What the hell does that mean????

[Mz Pip]

12. Maybe

she was on her knees. :sarcasm:

That would get his attention.

[w8liftinglady]

27. LOL

[redwitch]

28. DUzy!

LOL

[and-justice-for-all]

44. It does not sound ligitiment to me either...

smells of Koch.

[liberalhistorian]

7. Wow. That is such utter and complete

horseshit I don't even know where to start. This is sickening, to me, as a woman. Checking out the comments is even more sickening. These women are beyond delusional, they're on another planet altogether.

"Dear Mr Cain many years ago I find this not so unique for christians I knew a man Charles in died at 54 i knew him and and his wife and they were beautiful from the heart christians. at one point in my live i was going to lose my home and well he heard about it, so me at Maass and told me Adrinne I want you to go down to the bank Monday and there wil be a check for 40.000 dollars. I told him I dont know how in the world i would pay it back and he just said don.t worry you are young and you have your whole live to pass a blessing on to someone else, At any rate he died at 54 of a heart attack and when I went to the funeral I was not surprised to see at least 500 or more people at his funeral and I went up to his wife and she told me has helped so many people his whole life and I looked in those green eyes with flowing tears and I said I was one of those people! she looked at me and just hugged me and said you know he would always keep his giving between God and himself, I said yes not for others to see. That was a long time ago and it is funny and it is so normal men who have that kind of heart, My dad would give a waitress 100 dollar tips and I just thought since I was a child that was normal, giving unconditional that is true Christianity and I get Herman Cain and A president who will save the Republic, I wish there are more Herman Cains they don't show up at big benefits they give and only God can see, that is real to me,,, yes and I have had a life where I can give even when it hurt to women men children, that was a good lesson to learn where only God can see>"

33. lol

Thanks for pointing out that spelling error - I hadn't noticed that.

Now I'm laughing even more.

[snagglepuss]

48. That's an utterly fake testimonial replete with fake spelling errors, and poor

grammar.

49. A check for $40?

Im pretty sure FR is being spoofed, too.

Perhaps by robots, pretending to be supporters.

[and-justice-for-all]

43. Is it real? or did the Kochcain campaign create that crap??

I am amazed to no end as to what some see in obviously intellectually void people. cain is an ignorant babbling clown who is quite clearly unfit for ANY public office of any kind, and yet people are convinced he is viable???

45. Once Cain drops out, it will free them up for their other passion in life...

50. From Twitter: Cain campaign will make a "major announcement" tomorrow in Georgia. nt

[beac]

53. My guess? THIS statement is no longer true:

Gloria Cain is the National Chairperson for "Women for Cain" and there aren't going to be any people of either gender "for Cain" after tomorrow, at least not in any official sense.

Maybe his nutty die-hards can form some kind of pathetic in-denial support group with Palin's remaining followers. :shrug:


If Gloria's smart, Cain will be leaving to "spend more time" with his divorce attorney and not her.

58. "My fellow dingbats...Ginger White has disappeared."

"And so, that subject is closed & we'll forge ahead. 9-9-9...feelin' fine."

51. Cain babes

With the exception of a few of these postings, they all sound very much alike....ie..never been involved in politics, saw Cain speak and totally swept away, lavishing praise of the same type...too alike to not be written by the same person or persons with a script. I do hate to think there are women out there like this, but unfortunately I know it's true. Women who sell out themselves and their daughters and women in general-sad but true.
