Cain has zero experience in hiring people for political positions

I don't know about his hiring experience, but anyone who's spent much time in the corporate world, especially in the mid to upper levels, and was successful, has to be adept with politics.

But, he is inexperienced in this arena, and it shows. Only Gingrich and possibly Romney have earned the "been there and done that" qualification.

None the less, if Cain continues to improve, his business background and his lack of political office experience will be seen as major assets.

Personally, I'm way past tired of professional liars (aka Lawyers) and two faced politicians holding political office for decades. I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way.

And, IMO, if Palin doesn’t get in and run a good campaign, we’re in real trouble anyway.

I share that opinion, but if and until she does...

"Herman Cain’s candidacy shakes the very foundation of the liberal house of cards."

But, but, he called Perry "insensitive" and blacks "brainwashed" and worst of all he has never been elected to a public office.

Obviously, compared to the current occupier of the office, Herman Cain is not qualified to even run for election. /s

And he co-chaired Steve Forbes presidential run and I respected him but yesterday he played the race card — the most vile political thuggery I know of.

No, Herman Cain is the latest fad and a sign that people are not that thrilled with anyone running right now.

There are many, many negatives yet to come out on Herman.

I like him but he really disappointed me with his unwarranted attack on Perry about an issue he should have laughed at. Or at the very least been non-committal as in, ‘I don’t know enough about the story to comment.’

Yes, real serious stuff like perry has been insensitive, Perry drove by that gate entrance for nearly thirty years. One call to a local contractor and the rock would have been gone.

Trying to rewrite the MSM stories, so funny, why don't you say that, Perry was bind, deaf and dumb, for thirty years, and he could not read what was on the rock. Amazing how everyone else could., including the game-warden that said it was still there three years ago.

The truth is in every single article out there. Most people are smart enough to read it themselves, and those who are too dumb to understand will be voting for Obama anyway.

You know it was going to happen anyway. Its better to have Cain do it and get this story out in the open and behind Perry now, rather than wait until Perry was nominated and having Obama do it well into the election.

It does sound like it is a non-story, and I’m glad it is. And I’m not even a Perry fan.

Cain will be unstoppable when Palin comes out and endorses him.

Chill! I posted and was asking for imput. Yes, I do LOVE Cain, but we have been dupped before and any one with any ties to the Fed should be questioned. I do not know what a Class C member is, but I do think that if a person has ties to the Fed, he may be connected to the Globalists that I am very oppossed to.
Thank you for the info and I will continue to watch and learn what i can. Do remember barry had great charisma and many D’s were sucked in. Right now I have no idea who to trust and will continue to verify and post questions.

I suppose you missed the point that I have been sending money to those I agree with. I WAS in agreement with Herman before he jumped the shark. Happy? Maybe some skittles and unicorns will make you feel better.

BTW, only those who have made up their minds are for the MSM favorites because it is they who have already chosen for you. If I have yet to make up my mind that would be totally counter to your arguement.

To your point about Palin, guilty as charged for anyone who still has the hankering to jump in past your deadline. I prefer to wait until it is time for choosing instead of choosing time itself.

An honest response, and easily remedied via search engine of your choice.

I do think that if a person has ties to the Fed, he may be connected to the Globalists

Another important reason to educate yourself about Class C board directors. Of course, it is easier to espouse global anti-Fed opinions instead of becoming fully informed with facts.

I am with you! It is way too soon to know who to vote for and I am grateful we have time to vet. We know the msm ain’t gonna do it for us. I keep hoping a solid person decides the time is right and will give us a chance to vote for a candidate not having to choose the lesser of two evils. I like Cain alot, but am going to learn all I can.
When barry first gave his speech at the DNC I will admit I was intriqued, although not a D since my youth, I would be willing to vote any party that put up a good person to vote for. I then began in earnest doing my own vetting. I was shocked at what I learned about ol’ barry boy. I tried to tell people, become a certified birther and have learned a good lesson. Do not trust without verifying. Cain still has my eye, but I will use my abilities to learn what I can.

You must know something I do not. I did search, yes a Class C director may not be one making the big deciscions, but he is appointed by the Board of Govenors. That is where my suspicion lies.
To be a person choosen to be on this board A,B,or C, says to me that he is connected. I am questioning that. Is there a problem asking for Freeper input? I appreciate the fact you pointed this pout, but I do feel I am being attacked. I want opinion. I want everyone to know all sides of this vetting process. I think these kinds of historical facts say alot more about a person then what racial slip they may make.
Alot of people just overlooked who barry’s buddies are and were and look where we are now. I hope we all question everything about every hopeful, great seeming or not.

Excellent. Thanks for the support of vetting instead of deciding at this point in the game. I have no illusions of deciding until I have to cast the only vote that matters in the debate. Being from Florida, that just became much more of a moving target. BTW, it is the Perry and Romney operatives who are behind the shenanigans down here (does Mel Martinez ring a bell?). I personally feel all primaries should be the same day in April or May before the November election.
