That said: he is not the right man to occupy the Oval Office.
Many of us went through this with Gov. Palin. As the left/MSM continue the hatchet job on Mr. Cain, the more I’m inclined to support him. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
As a Clarence Thomas constitutional conservative, Mr. Cain in 8 years would undercut the foundation of LBJ’s welfare state and be an effective antidote to the left/media propaganda based on racism/sexism that pervades virtually EVERY policy debate. We will get no real change so long as the “Big Lie” is unchallenged- and Establishment Pubs, concerned only with survival in their private fiefdoms, will never challenge it.
In that sense, Mr. Cain’s value is not just winning in 2012- his value is 8 years of a conservative Black American undoing a dynamic that has perennially paralyzed the Republican Party on all levels of government.
I agree with those who say there may be a better “candidates-”— but I don’t believe there is one that can better serve the ends of constitutional conservatives than the redoubtable Cain.
Instead of tearing him down- conservatives should be building him up-— his value to constitutional conservatism may well be transformational.
I prefer a man that has the ability to learn over a man that claims to know it all.
With all the snipeing, all the polls, and the orchastrated hit pieces, I remain...
Cain/Gingrich ‘12
How about Newt’s foreign policy on illegal immigration.
The guy does not give a $hit about our borders. Oh yeah he cheated on his wife because he loved America so much.
This is the problem with Cain, he either has an airy answer, a joke answer, or a slogan answer.
The media writes as if we are all flaming morons and have no idea what any of the candidates mean.

Journalists are so damn lazy. Research is ignored and facts are created.
Horsepuckey. He didn't "mutter" anything. Whether this author liked what Cain said or not, he is spewing a lie here. Cain spoke clearly, plainly, and with purpose. There was no muttering.
So many of these hit pieces smack so hard of racism it's pathetic. Thank God Cain grew up in the segregated South, and he's dealt with it his whole life, so he is stronger than any of us when it comes to these attacks.
What utter bullcrap from the WSJ.
Cain didn’t “mutter” any of his three answers in the debate, and clearly said “No” to a no-fly zone over Syria.
I despise the media.
He said he wasn’t supposed to know EVERYTHING about foreign policy not anything.

Patriot Act: I have no idea of the details of this act. Once Obama was briefed he decided to keep it, right ?
There are many, many details and there is information not available to anyone outside of top national security people regarding a lot of security and defense-related topics.
Steve Wynn the other day on Hannity with the poll guy (at the 4:00 mark):

The President has all the information he needs or wants laid out for him: he needs intelligence and character.
Steve Wynn expressed this concept far better than I can. I’d recommend a listen at the 4 minute mark. It’s only about a minute.
Herman Cain has been pretty clear on his foreign policy, at least the outlines of it.
But I’d rather have a President who is foggy on foreign policy than one who is committed to supporting America’s enemies, as we have now.
-”I’m not supposed to know anything about foreign policy,”
-”Because you run for president [people say] you need to have the answer. No, you don’t! No, you don’t!”
I was defending Cain because it seemed like he was trying to give a good answer to a shabby question, but this pretty much kills that.
He's perfected this approach to foreign policy, that's for sure.
Maybe Herman ought to reconsider going for the Senate again.
