Cain seriously worried me when he said his choice for vice president would be Mitt Romney.

You forgot the part where he said STATES can restrict gun rights with legislation.

Cain still sounds better n' Chris Christie on the 2nd! (NYC's Sullivan Act goes back to 1911 and in all seriousness it's gonna be an ice age in Hell before you can walk into a NYC WalMart and buy a machine gun!)

And indeed they can. "Right to carry" victories were in the state legislatures, not Federal Courts.

I didn’t hear that. I might have to rethink that ‘pulling the handle’ part.

I refuse to ever vote for any ticket with worthless liberal bastard Romney on it. I don’t care who he is running against.

Pretty good for first poll.

Everyone knows Barack Husein is President, not many know who Herman Cain is.

Story now at the Daily Caller:

Herman Cain trails President Barack Obama by a mere five points in a head-to-head match up, according to a Rasmussen poll released Wednesday.

In a poll of 1,000 likely voters, 34 percent said they would vote for Cain, while 39 percent said they would vote for Obama. Fourteen percent said they would vote for another candidate, and 14 percent said they were not sure.

Of all the candidates polled in general election match-ups with Obama, Cain holds the president to his lowest percentage of the vote in the past month. No other candidate holds Obama to below 40 percent of the vote in Rasmussen’s September polling. Ron Paul had Obama at 39 percent, taking 38 percent of the vote in August, but in a poll released Wednesday, Obama now leads Paul by 10 percentage points: Forty-four percent to 34 percent.

Black voters break in favor of Obama in the poll, with 76 percent saying they would vote for him and just 3 percent saying they would vote for Cain. Twenty percent said they were not sure.

It was at the last debate. It’s probably on the web someplace. Romney was his first choice, he said, if Romney would choose at that time to support Cain’s positions.

So you think a state has the constitutional authority to take away your 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms?

Am I understanding you correctly? I don’t think I am. You’ve always been pro 2nd amendment rights.

I ONLY!!! vote for pro-2A candidates.

Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin are both pro-gun.

Cain flunks the gun rights test.

Although Cain says he supports the Second Amendment, in the next breath he says he fully supports any and all state gun control/prohibitions.

That is like supporting federal rights for women and blacks, but allowing women and blacks to be slaves if the state laws permit them to be slaves.

I will not support any candidate who allows, and favors, individual states to outlaw guns, or to take away womens voting rights, or to allow slavery, or to prohibit free speech, etc. .

‘Add in promoting the fairy tax, which has now morphed into 999 as a first step.’

The plan is a starting point. None the less, it would lower taxes on many that pay taxes now. It eliminates the payroll taxes on Medicare and Medicaid which is 7.65% for all workers. This DOES NOT include the 8% or more, that the employer pays on the employees behalf.

The flat 9% on Business would make the U.S. one of the lowest effective tax rate for business taxes in the World. It would be a boon to businesses and subsequently job creation.

I hate the sales tax, however, it would capture a large amount of people who pay no taxes on income by working under the table, IE ILLEGAL ALLIENS!. All states have a payroll tax, so the collection is already done for the government.

The IRS can be eliminated or scaled back to bare bones and yo could do your tax returns in two minutes on the size of a post card.

My wife and I spend many hours reporting our taxes even with Software. We also have boxes of records and dozens of pages of tax returns every year and like I told her ‘We don't even make any money to speak of!”

He'll be the not-so-bright pizza guy.

Until you look at his resume. Put his work/accomplishment history up against Obummer's, and you'd have to be a pelosi to not choose Cain.

HOPEFULLY, ALL of us will pull together REGARDLESS of political purity
once a nominee is selected, and do EVERYTHING WE CAN to flush that
bastard out of the Oval Office in the General Election.

That's true....keep your eye on the ball....
that said, ANY (w/ some reservations :)
of our Candidates would be better than OBlahblah
