ELIJAH CUMMINGS IS AN IDIOT--he doesnt speak for Howaard county maryland but due to gerrymandering by the legislature he is our rep--what a waste

I'd say Rep. Cummings is an idiot but I'd probably be called a racist.

Well then I assume he feels that all the white people that voted for Obama in '08 -- Liberals, Independants and future #Occupiers alike, all did so to prove that they aren't racist. The way it's tossed around these days, the word 'racist' has lost all meaning. What a ridiculous and cringe-worthy state this country is in.

yuck.

Hey Representative Cummings, is everyone who doesn't think as you do a racist? If you think so, please get some help!

I hope to someday see a debate between The Hermanator and Mr. Cummings. THAT would be a lot of fun.

White liberals voted for Barack Obama in massive numbers to prove THEY are not racists and to brag they have earned their liberal bona-fides.

They are covert racists to the core.

Yeah, because a desire for a smaller government and more of our own money in our own pockets is soooooooo racist. Loser.

Cummings has a point, and I'm a white Tea Party sympathizer. Strongly supporting Cain is the major way the Tea Party can push back against the insane charge that they are racist. It pretty much dismisses the charge.

Old plantation house Negroes like Mr. Cummings are a dime a dozen in the progressive idiotsphere.  If they were on HBO's Def Comedy Jam he'd be calling Cain a n*gger and the audience would roar their approval and all Cain would have to do to shut everyone up is ask, "How many people have you hired, Elijah?"  'Nuff said. 

Can SOMEONE please show me ANY evidence whatsoever that Tea Partiers are racists? Please?

The MSM has created this entirely false premise that the Tea Party is racist and violent, and yet, there is no evidence of either. Meanwhile OWS protestors and CLEARLY racist and violent, yet the MSM remains silent.

The good news is that when the Left pulls the RACE CARD, it means they have NOTHING left. That's it.

So, when I voted against Obama, it was because I'm a racist and didn't want to vote for a black man.  When I vote for Cain, it will be because... I'm a racist and I'm overcompensating?  Seriously.  Oh, and as to Cummings comment:"I can guarantee you, if I put the two of them in a debate, President Obama wins every time, nine to one," I'd like a piece of that action!  Cain would absolutely clobber Obama, even without a teleprompter.

When this mindless liberal rambles through his talking points I hear...blah, blaah, blaaah! I pray for the day that the "witch hunt uncovers our Attorney General for the cheat, hypocrite, and mindless liberal that he is. I also pray that Mr. Cain and Mr. Obama have the opportunity to debate. Herman talks from the heart and from his own vast knowledge. Mr. Obama talks from a teleprompter that spews words and lies that someone else writes for him. No contest....Cain wins everytime!

Honkes for Herman, Crackers for Cain, Herman Cain the "right" black candidate for President, and This time let's vote for a REAL black man - Herman Cain!

If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist, you had better vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you're not a idiot.

Elijah Cummings (along with most of the democratic party) is a RACIST. The fact is, we are able to see Herman Cain as an individual with his own ideas, actions, character, etc. and will judge him and vote for or against him based on that (sounds kind of like MLK's dream does't it?). On the other hand, democrats/liberals want to label everyone as black, white, gay, straight, rich, poor, christian, atheist and apply assumptions and prejudices to them based on that. It is pathetic.

Cummings is nothing but a propagandist. KKK was Democrat, Martin Luther King – a Republican – marched against JFK a Democrat, Eisenhower sent the troop in to protect black students against hate filled Democrats, and Lincoln a Republican is credited with freeing the slaves. So where is her proof that it is the Republicans that are Racist when the Democrats have a long history of hate against blacks?

Poor Elija "thinks" he knows what he's talking about. I wonder what he has to say about Obama's 90%+ support by blacks, regardless of the terrible job our Divider-in-Chief" has done?

The Tea Party Versus the Occupy Wall Street gang and what the two stand for .........

The Tea Party is for the People getting to Keep more of their hard earned money , and the OWS idiots are for the Government to keep more of the peoples money because they think Obama and the communists will give more to them , but how Has Obama and the democrats so far done with that ?? Its a BIG GAME , They have just gave it to their Loyalists just like the REPUBLICAN RINOS did when they were in Government control , and so the debate needs to be , " Why can't we the people find a Leader in our Government that can just create a tax code that keeps the cash from loops holes recirculating around and around to the same corporations, lobbyists , and loyalists that they then use to demonize for legislative and election purposes , but the game never changes ?

I think there is more to this story of the Governments desire to control more of the Publics cash and consumption , and I point to this article as why I think so and I think the Government should be truthful about why they want to impose the harsher restrictions and anti growth EPA regulations like the Obama administration is doing but that wouldn't politically set well with the majority so we get instead a Nanny state political Pitch from Obama when he says Vote in the Republicans and we will get dirty air to breath , but really can Mr. Obama make this claim and ignore what his technocratic base is saying all the time and he think we the people are not watching and reading what is really driving the anti-growth Anti-Capitalism and self reliance Government policies that seem to be stalling economic growth ?

"Seven big problems for 7 billion people . Experts weigh in on predicaments caused by a burgeoning world population , but are they experts or just 21st Century Marxists" ?

And I would point this out to the Latino voters that Obama's Environmentalist Organizations Like these are calling for Latinos to be cut off from access to the USA , while Obama panders for the Latino Vote , so what is the Democrats true Intentions here with this Globalists UN Agenda 21 affiliation ?
Here is a quote from the SUSPS link, " the U.S. population continues to grow by about 3 million people per year, of which nearly half are immigrants, and two-thirds of the growth is a result of immigration, if the children of immigrants are included ". Is this whats causing the die-off of Funding for Business expansion in the world ?

We the People in the USA should not have to sacrifice Liberty when its not us that are causing the issue that these technocrats want to use as a reason to wipe out Free Enterprise , if anything we the people in the USA can make the case that Free Thinking societies like the USA are showing sustainability in population growth and that the level of education thats making this fact evident is in this fertility chart, ,so the truth of the matter is that Freedom and Economic incentives that drive a person to be more aware of what it takes to sustain self preservation and using a for profit economic system seems to be why we the people are and have been the leading society in the world to open the minds of humanity and bring into focus the understanding of what we as families need to be thinking about .

We the People need to debate this issue about how we might really drive the debate around population sustainability , and what will also be the fundamental that sustains peace too , not just control , a process that was tried in the not so distant past which did not work because FREEDOM was suppressed and this will always leave Peace in the review mirror .

Herman Cain is a modern day Nat Turner wrecking havock on the Democrat party plantation.  Congressman Cummings is a house slave who is freaked out that an uppity field hand might ruin his easy gig.  He's forgotten that the first African American congressman were all Republicans, that Republicans outvoted Democrats in passing the Civil Rights Act, and that virtually all the leaders of the KKK were also members of the Democrat party. 

Why is it these politicians keep trying to play the "race card"?

Mr. Cain seems to be the only person in the race that seems more serious about fixing our problems than pointing fingers and joining the childish behavior that dominates the election process these days.

My ONLY fear was the length of time another "black" person is trusted to be voted in as President considering what the current President has done to our country! YES, I said it and I hope my fears are unwarranted! Cain already has my vote!

His own comments are racist.

Voting FOR or supporting a person due to the color of his skin is as racist as voting AGAINST or not supporting him due to the color of his skin.

Seems to me Rep. Cummings is projecting his racism for all to see.

And we do see it.

Wow.I can not believe David allowed this drivel to take place. Tim would have shut him down. Let me understand. Rep Cummins, Rev Sharpton and Jesse jackson are so bigeted its hard to see why anyone would listen to these guys or in the case of the Congressman - vote for him. What a bunch of bull. These guys are the real racists and should move out of the US - they don't deserve our liberties.
