Breitbart Endorses Cain/West For GOP Nomination Staff \| Thursday, April 21, 2011 talkradionews.com Conservative muckraker Andrew Breitbart said Thursday that he wants radio host Herman Cain and Freshman Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) on the 2012 GOP ticket. Speaking at a lecture held at the conseravtive Heritage Foundation, Breitbart argued that rather than nominate Tim Pawlenty, Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney, the GOP should run two African-Americans against Barack Obama. “The only way to defeat political correctness and cultural marxism and multiculturalism is to aim straight at its head,” Breitbart said. Breitbart said a Cain-West ticket would be more than just a novelty act. He cited Cain’s business experience and West’s military background as factors that would qualify each to serve in higher office. Cain, a conservative talk show host, formed a presidential exploratory committee in January. Though relatively unknown on a national scale, recent Gallup polls revealed a high favorability rating among voters who had heard of him. West, meanwhile, has become a favorite of Tea Partiers, and has pledged to use his seat in Congress to put pressure on senior Republicans to legislate conservatively. Breitbart, who has become a darling of the conservative movement by blurring the lines of traditional journalism to expose Democrats, used his lecture to discuss the social complexities of being a conservative in a minority community. He accused Democrats and the media of stereotyping conservatives as discriminatory in order to discourage people from joining the GOP. “We have to defeat the Democrat media complex’s reflexive use of race…as a cudgel to use against conservatives, which intimidates good people for standing up, running for office, becoming media figures because they are fearful of becoming a racist, a sexist or a homophobe,” Breitbart said. While his first book, “Hollywood, Interrupted,” featured mostly gossip about West Coast celebrities, Breitbart has written a new book, “Righteous Indignation,” which portrays the national media as possessing a strong liberal bias.

No doubt there will be some short term pain in order to ensure long term viability. Did you ever think otherwise? The Ryan plan is better in the long run.

US religious figure backs Donald Trump White House bid A US religious figure whose father advised several US presidents has backed Donald Trump's bid for the White House. Mr Trump has attacked Mr Obama repeatedly in recent weeks Apr 2011 telegraph.co.uk Reverend Franklin Graham also told ABC television that he doubted former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin would join the field of candidates aiming to unseat President Barack Obama. Asked whether Mr Trump might be his preferred candidate, Rev Graham told ABC's "This Week" program: "Sure, yes." "When I first saw that he was getting in, I thought, well, this has got to be a joke," Rev Graham said. "But the more you listen to him, the more you say to yourself, you know, maybe this guy's right." The flamboyant businessman has attacked Mr Obama repeatedly in recent weeks – notably repeating the debunked claim that the president was not born in the United States – and suggested he could make a White House run. Recently public opinion polls have found Trump at the top of the pack of Republicans with former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. Asked about Mr Romney, Rev Graham replied: "No question he is a very capable person, he's proven himself" but did not endorse him, according to an account of the interview released by ABC. Rev Graham, whose father the Reverend Billy Graham has met with US presidents of both major parties in the Oval Office since 1950, said he doubted Mrs Palin would run for the White House. "I think she likes speaking on the issues, and I agree with many of the issues that she brings up," Graham told ABC. "I don't see her as running for president."
