A blast from the crapper! LOL

Actually, Hermie said it was “insensitive”. Sounds just like a thin skinned liberal.

Cain is one of those LEADERS who KNOWS how to hire the RIGHT people to run his administration, including foreign policy experts....

And except for, maybe, Gingrich, no one else running, Republican or Democrat, is exactly a foreign policy expert.

I don’t like your lowlife style of posting.

I don’t understand the vitriol against Cain coming from some Freepers. Sour grapes for Sarah not running? From what I have discovered about Cain, he is up to the job, loves America, isn’t a whinner, he’s a hard worker, very smart (unlike idiot Obama), self-made, has a lovely wife, understands business. Not sure what some don’t like about him. As for foreign policy, maybe he’ll tap John Bolton for Secretary of State. I would love that.

"and that he has since learned that Perry’s family painted over the word "

I think it would be smart to know the whole story before you comment on it. He was way too quick to yank that race card not knowing the whole situation.

“Stop the insults, please. It’s not becoming. If you are supporting another candidate present their strengths!”

Amen, well said and worth repeating. When has an insult every changed somebody’s opinion/attitude? Putting people down doesn’t win them over to your side. Conservatives should exchange strong, rational and respectful arguments—and may the best candidate win.

Well, which other candidates other than Huntsman have this experience? Oh wait, I forgot, Perry is snuggly with the Muslims and has policy experience with Mexico. My bad.

Please read Mr. Cain's entire plan.

The tax structure he is proposing requires a 2/3rds or Super Majority of the Senate to vote to raise it.

That means on any proposed increases you can contact your Senator and tell him/her to vote against any increases.

His plan is well thought out. Go to his website and check it out.

Make a comment about Israel here and see how many "thin-skinned" liberals show up.

I'm willing to give him a pass on his comment. It's better than Perry cozying up to La Raza.

The vitriol comes from the Perrybots and some of the closeted Slick Willardbots.

Yeah, but he since then backed off and said several times on numerous shows that now that he learned the facts he did not think it reflected poorly on Perry. While I agree that I wish he had not to begin with, he has since stepped up to the plate and corrected the record multiple times on national shows. Has Rangel, Waters, or Rev Al?

Actually, in a devious way, playing off the "vanilla" front runners in the GOP gives him room to appeal to blacks who otherwise would never consider voting for a GOP candidate. If he puts some distance between himself and the "vanilla" republicans, that creates some room and makes it a little easier for a black democrat to cross over and support him.

BTW, if Cain could really bring anything close to the 33% black support along with him the Democratic party would be finished for good.

I am serious. They must have 85% or more or they are toast.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I will defend to the death your right to an opinion.

Cain is another Ubama, plain and simple.
It’s sad that they can’t get away with the obsession with RACE.

Even though you are “sick of politicians,” is it really better to make a joke out of the process?

Can you, for one level-headed minute, actually picture Herman Cain as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

Please, get a grip and re-think this. Santorum, Bachmann, Gingrich, Perry and Romney are all better choices.

The 999 is only a stopgap measure (1-2 years) transition to repeal of the 16th and the Fair Tax.

These rates can only be changed with 2/3 majority, and since EVERYONE will be paying taxes, and no loopholes, there is the people can put huge pressure on Congress not to change anything.

Plus - no taxes on used goods.

This plan puts many more constraints on Congress than currently exists.

Ouch! No thanks. FR is a Romney free zone, pussycat. We’ve been opposing Willard for years. Wake up!

I’ll take Perry, you can have Palin. LOL

If Cain had been hunting in a place that said “honkyhead”, I would have been upset!

I didn’t say it wasn’t a good plan. Anything that gets me paying less taxes is fine in my book. I just meant that I don’t like the prospect of having one new tax in place without the older one repealed first. Too many opportunities for Dems to screw around.
