Headline only. Will post more when available.
VP......Mitch Daniels.
2 Georgians is better than a Kenyan and a buffoon.
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.
That would be a sight I would pay to see.
Insert the pictures of ZERO walking off and kicking the door. ROFL.
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. .

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!”

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.
That's true....keep your eye on the ball....
that said, ANY (w/ some reservations :)
of our Candidates would be better than OBlahblah
IF Cain becomes the front-runner the pile-on and tear-down will begin. I don’t think he will fare well.
You’re pushing too hard.
Your Cain on gun control post is a paraphrase of a paraphrase of a snippet of a quote, without the full context of the quote being provided.
The actual snippet is:
““… yes, that (gun legislations) should be a state’s decision.”
June 7, 2011 , An interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer “
Whoa!.....
hadn't heard that gem!
—“… yes, that (gun legislation) should be a state’s decision.”
June 7, 2011 , An interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer—
I actually agree with him. And he probably agrees with me that, as is normal, whatever legislation is passed in any state cannot violate the US constitution.
Come on now, he said that jokingly in rhyming with regard to the titles of his and Romney's economic plans. He then answered seriously that he would choose Gingrich.
True, but it also ‘captures’ every dime of SS, dividends from tax free municipal bonds, etc. Then it taxes savings which have have already been taxed by another 9%.
Businesses get to deduct all sorts of things under the 999 plan, but individuals only get to deduct charitable contributions.
It has zero chance of ever passing.
Where does that rule come from?
Me? I’d vote for the black guy.
And you're just talking about Free Republic./sarc
Gingrich makes the most sense as VP as he has the experience Cain is lacking.
Whoa... did you see this? (Source: Drudge)
Only a racist would attack Cain. Shame on you! Sarc.
There have been suspicions in the way Cain wouldn’t in the least criticize Romney that he was, like Bachmann, egged (with whatever motivations Romney’s cash-rich campaign might have offered) into the campaign in an effort to dilute the conservative (and possibly the Palin) vote.
Really neither of them has the credentials to run seriously on his or her own.
Yes we CAIN!
My take is that one could substitute virtually any Republican wannabe's name in these last few polls and one would obtain substantially the same results because Obama is crashing and whoever Rasmussen puts up against him last is the greatest beneficiary.
It is my hypothesis that the less we have the fear on the issue of electability the wider our scope to nominate a hard conservative. I take this as bad news for Romney, good news for Cain, of course, but also good news for Rick Santorum, Bachmann, and, yes, Newt Gingrich.
I support a flat tax with deductions for only things that have already been taxed, like SS.
>>Again, a lot of the negatives here are from die-hards supporting other candidates in the primary fight.<<
Actually, I couldn’t find even one...do you read or just post your feelings at random?
Yep, same here... :-)

Does anyone know of a comment board where primarily blacks are discussing the merits of Cain vs. Obama? I think that would be an interesting read right now.
Romney's noted only he and Cain have private sector experience in the debates.
Of those on stage, Cain said he'd consider Romney for VP.
There's clearly a mutual admiration thing there.
Cain is a BINO doncha know..
I meant the people who did not vote for Cain as compared with Obama also probably included individuals who were at this point supporting one of the other candidates, but would, HOPEFULLY, vote AGAINST Obama REGARDLESS of the GOP nominee.
Restrict, or prohibit? Some restrictions are perfectly fine with me, like no guns in schools. No guns in stadiums, arenas and bars.
The issue is whether Cain was correct in stating that states can restrict gun rights with legislation. The Supreme Court has consistently found that some state regulation of firearms is permitted under the 2nd Amendment, see http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-1521.pdf. An example of this is the restrictions on people carrying a concealed firearm. Such restrictions by states have been found not to violate the 2nd Amendment. Therefore, the right to carry can be restricted, at least to some extent, by state legislatures. State legislatures, therefore, is where people went to get the restrictions changed.
Herman Cain was not incorrect in his statement.
IMHO, they have the best "credentials", far superior to Romney or Perry.
I figured he didn’t have a serious chance, but if this keeps up he’s going to become my guy!
The right to carry is the same as the right to bear arms. If you’re carrying a handgun, then you put it in your pocket.
I do not support concealed carry provisions.
Then Vermont would be a good state for you.
Second that!
I should have used the word restrictions.
I do not support concealed carry restrictions
Was it a shock because he is close? Or was it a shock because he had a great month, but is no closer than he was a month ago?
Not good for Obummer. Herman Cain is well known in the inner city community, at least around here. I go back to the old neighborhood once in a while to go to church. I’m thinking he could probably take at least 25% of the vote, although few black people in the old neighborhood want to admit that they would vote for a Republican candidate, even if he’s black. I’m thinking the 20% is silent torrying from the black community.
Please show a source showing Cain supporting affirmative action. He’s on record as being against quotas, as shown by this 2004 article:
http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2004/04/28/op_413767.shtml
“But the court gave the go-ahead to the University of Michigan law school to consider race on a case-by-case basis. This is very tricky. If it means that economically impoverished kids who happen to be minorities should get consideration for assistance, that’s great. If that means that minorities get slots in place of white kids with better academic credentials, then that is not fair.
College acceptance should be based on how well a student has performed and excelled in school. Like everything else in life, people need to earn what they get, and earn it by working hard. Quotas are not the answer and they never will be.”
Obama Vs Mickey Mouse and Romper Room won’t get over 40%.
America Eff’ed up and has recognized it.
Darn it to Betsy, you beat me to it!!!
There is nothing suspicious about that. That is not his MO. Cain is not interested in attacking other Republican candidates, he is going after Obama.
But Cain has brought up Romneycare and will say more if he needs to (I doubt he will).
