Herman Cain for President!

[RedDead1981]

Running for president as a non-christian is political suicide. I wouldn't be surprised if we have had more (non-Christians) as president than you think.

I agree completely.

At least Cain is a true conservative along with Santorum, Buchanan,and Pawlenty.I would vote for any of these 4 today. The rest are RINO's. Newt may be ok.

 

[Gishin]

Does that even mean anything anymore? RINO and TRUE conservative get thrown out more than old bread.

In the 1960's, conservative meant you wanted the top tax rate to be 50% instead of 70%. lol.

Herman Cain wins straw poll of Fulton GOP. Fulton County GOP is the largest in Georgia and metropolitan Atlanta. Herman Cain was number one, followed by Michelle Bachman as number 2, followed by Mitt Romney as number 3.

Cain’s business record is better than Romney’s. « mantei

Eight honorary degrees? This man has to be elected president!

Why are you a big fan of Cain. He's a proven establishment candidate.

Are you fishing??? "Establishment" but never having held public office before? Derided by the Karl Roves of the world? TEA party favorite? You really have to be joking here...

Being a Tea Party favorite makes him part of the establishment. The Tea Party is simply the far-right wing of the Republican Party.

1. You obviously don't understand dry humor. He was intentionally exaggerating to make a point.
2. It's called a Veto.

Well, which is it? Was he exaggertating? Or would he actually veto a bill for being too long?

Can you imagine that? "Man, this thing is too long to read. *Veto!*"

If a bill was placed on his desk that limits future bills to three pages, but the actual bill was four pages...would he sign it?

Cain has promised to veto all bills with earmarks, pork barrel additions that have nothing to do with the purpose of the bill, and bills so long that the legislators themselves don't even read. In other words:
COMMON SENSE.

No, in other words, NOTHING GETS PASSED.

They'll need to change the Veto stamp to one that says "TL;DR"

I hope this isn't a duplicate post, but I'm not sifting though 35 pages to find out.


Cain's message -- Muslims need not apply - CNN.com

No christian here would support someone who is picking on another religous group... or would they?

 

[RedDead1981]

Yeah, been covered. Cain people are totally cool with discriminating against Muslims. I mean, this little thing here...

... might complicate things. But I'm sure there's a loophole we can use to keep those evil Moslems out.

Inspired by Cain's keeping-it-real mantra, I am going to keep it real: Herman Cain is either a bigot, ignorant or simply a politician using fear mongering for political gain.

I'm guessing number three is the most likely option.

And they are evil. I'm sitting not 10 feet from one know. Last night he had me taste his entree at an Indian restaurant. I made sure he tasted it first as I'm no fool.

Sorry I thought you may have been serious...guess you just a fisherman - and a poor one at that.

Mike Castle was the establishment, Lisa Murkowski was the establishment, and on and on...

Get out! Get out now while you still can!

He actually challenged President Clinton on TV back in 1994 over the impact of a health care takeover...

Let's spread the word here.


PS
No name calling of Mr. Cain or anyone else please.

Well, he certainly couldn't be any worse than Emperor Obama, but every time he opens his mouth, he just makes it harder and harder for me to take him seriously. It's not his ideas. It's him.

He's constantly losing his temper at some reporter or screaming about something or other. Now, granted, a couple of times, the media has purposefully taken his words out of context to make him look foolish. But for him to choose his words so poorly that it would make it so easy for them, and for him not to understand the way the media works, just shows a huge lack of wisdom on his part.

Right now, it looks like either Gary Johnson or Rick Perry for me.

:eyeroll:
Please list these constant temper eruptions and screaming. TIA.

What exactly makes him different from the establishment? Cain is aligned with the Family Research Council, a major right-wing family values group. His political action committee is funded by CEOs, and he himself is financially well-off. I"m not saying there's anything wrong with that, but to call him an outsider would be misleading.
