I am looking for the next President of the United States. I felt betrayed when Powell endorsed Obama because I thought he was principled. The Obama candidacy opened my eyes to the color trumps ideology.
I have heard Cain speak about his blackness and I personally researched his church by simply going to it's website. Herman Cain preaches there too so it is important to check these things out. Anyone can tell you what you want to hear.
Do I think Cain is generally conservative? Yes. Do I think he thinks in terms of color? Absolutely and I got that by listening to him when he's not stumping to Tea Party crowds.
When you say you like Empowerment Zones because they are in predominately black areas, it tells me you have a bias and I believe it will carry to the Whitehouse. Understand something too Empowerment Zones, which Cain has now switched to Opportunity Zones, because Empowerment sounds too liberal (his words), are not broad based but targeted regions designed to transfer work and wealth from one are to another. One zip code pays the bills, the zip code next door doesn't.
Go to his church website. Antiocnorth.org and click on his pastor and read his pastors own words about justice and we need to quit expecting blacks to do something but ask what government needs to do because Jesus said "the first will be last and the last will be first". You go and read it yourself, don't take my word for it.
Cain not only preaches there but is very close friend with the pastor. I find all that to be bothersome to me. If it doesn't trouble you ,no problem, that is your prerogative.
C’mon, Normy. For someone who claims to have Cain as his second choice, you go out of your way to bash him and align yourself with the hardcore Perrybots. Anybody who claims to support Perry as a “Conservative” has precious little credibility to criticize true Conservative candidates.
