NEW YORK ...........The details of Cain's 15-minute presentation to 500 or more movers and shakers in the Big Apple were considered "off the record," but WND can report that after the presentation, Cain received a standing ovation from the assembled crowd.
......Cain drew parallels to former President George H.W. Bush, who in 1980 lost the nomination to Ronald Reagan but signed on to become his vice president:
"If it is the right nominee, someone that I can respect and that I believe I can work with," Cain said of accepting the vice presidential nomination, "then I would obviously seriously consider it."
The candidate refused to retract his recent criticism of Texas Gov. Rick Perry over a racial profanity found on property the Perry family often used, but he also dismissed the ensuing controversy:
"I made a statement and I stand by it," Cain said. "However long that was on that rock was insensitive. I am done with that issue. I am not going to go back and dig it up. I don't believe that the 'N' word on that rock represents in any way how Governor Perry feels about black people. I am not going to fan that flame because I don't believe there is any fire."

Cain also rejected concerns about the "legal propriety" surrounding the recent killing of al-Qaida leader Anwar al-Awlaki, who was an American citizen:
"If you had a convicted murder in this country who escaped from prison, the fact that he was an American citizen and escaped from prison, would you not shoot him?" Cain asked.

Repeating your made up read of facts, doesn’t make them real.
So this scale is saying those from 55,000 to 299,000 only pay 17% now? That’s not accurate at all!
The date is October 8th. Cain is at B&N for a book signing.
And Sarah is there as a Special Guest at a Women’s Conference - a private event. As usual, with Sarah being there, the event is already SOLD OUT.
Cain shouldn't even be answering these types of questions. Would Mit or Perry? No they would say, I will be picking the VP not being the VP
Lot's of this is the suckling of the power teet. Everyone thinks Mitt is the anointed candidate so the want to be in good relations. Too bad for them Perry is going to be the nominee. Newt is the only one keeping his powder dry. I thought Cain was at first but he is clearly not.
He’s flip-flopped and backpedaled on a number of key issues , which is why I no longer support him . Warming up to a possible Palin run .
Actually Amnesty would make them citizens and give them voting rights. Legitimizing illegals (12 million of whom Sarah Palin said it would be inhumane to deport) contributions means you get them on the rolls, collect income taxes so they pay their fair share.
Herman Cain is for "the current path to citizenship". Don't believe me? Go look on his website. He also stated it in the same statement where he charged Perry with being soft on border security. (Perry spent 400 million of Texans tax dollars to do so, Cain has done ZERO!)
And here is another example of Cain’s flip flopping:
Herman Cain Flip-Flopped on the Killing of Anwar al-Awlaki

Everyone would be saying, "That's just Herman" as they do now with Biden.
So this scale is saying those from 55,000 to 299,000 only pay 17% now? Thats not accurate at all!

No, it is not 55,000 *TO* 299,000.
It is a random sampling...lower, middle , higher...
Here, try it yourself.

Wrong.
Legitimizing the illegals as guest workers means EXCUSING THEIR LAW-BREAKING.
It means placing them ahead of the millions of law-abiding immigrants who played by the rules and had to wait in many cases for years for the Green Card giving them the right to work in this country.
You say it would cause them to PAY taxes?
Well, many of these illegals are committing identity fraud and ALREADY HAVE social security numbers with which they file for taxes.
And GUESS WHAT?
Like the rest of the 50% of tax filers who pay no tax, THEY GET MONEY BACK.
The EITC and child tax credits administered through the IRS tax filing system are just ANOTHER FORM OF WELFARE.
Having more of the illegals file tax returns just means MORE WELFARE FOR THE LAW-BREAKERS.
Yes, Herman Cain is for the “existing path to citizenship.”
That is the current law on the books for people to apply for and receive Green Cards and eventually citizenship.
Perry is for “amnesty” and is carrying water for his open-borders cheap-Mexican-labor financial backers whose bank accounts benefit from shifting much of the costs of their labor force onto the backs of the rest of the population.
I love the Alabama law and the Arizona law. They are great!
Securing the borders is the first step in all of this. States passing anti illegal laws is a great move also.
That said Perry does not support amnesty.
I’m just quoting Perry’s own words!
It can’t be any more clear that his desire is to legalize the illegals.
Claiming that this is not “amnesty” is an even bigger lie than the Bush-McCain-Kennedy claim that their bill was not “amnesty”.
Yes? No?
If Yes, isn't that legitimizing their contribution?
If no, will he deport them? Pass sweeping labor laws that cover all the states stating hiring illegals will result in fines and prosecutions?
You see Cain is walking a line here without saying anything.
Cain has said time and time again that he is for enforcing the immigration laws.
LOL, are you angry that the pony you picked is sinking like a rock? Perry hasn’t a chance. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can pass the stages of grieving.
“Yes, lets celebrate Romney leading the field.”
You can do as you please. The political realm doesn’t get me giddy. At the very best we get the rights God already granted us, at worst, we get Obama, and all his handlers intend to impose upon us. I’m not prone to celebrating politics.
If he is for the status quo then he will do jack squat and make states like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California deal with it themselves.
Why don’t you explain your candidates border positions? Maybe your could persuade some Perry supporters to his/her side.
