Cain discusses his position in the polls, illegal immigration, and the release of his 999 movie
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I do not have a problem understanding Herman Cain when he talks about foreign policy. His policy is much like Ronald Reagan's. Carry a big stick.
It does not take a rocket scientist to understand Herman Cain. That may be your problem. He does not speak "politician."
Apparently it means he’s not going to be searching old white American nuns in airports, when the real threat is people coming from middle eastern countries.
You can call that racial profiling. But it doesn’t make sense to inconvenience us all when you know the needle in the haystack that you are searching for is really in that lump of hay off to the left.
What come back."
Some states are already making laws against illegals & the illegals are fleeing those states in droves.
There is nothing confusing about what Cain actually said. He said that there are laws already on the books to gain legal citizenship & those laws should be followed.
I am a Cain supporter. He's a decent & logical man & a Conservative. I like that about him!!
You are totally right. We need a national primary rather than a system that is controlled by a few early states deciding which candidate is the front runner.
Herman Cain is also leaps and bounds ahead of Ubama.
I remain on the Cain train too. Let Gingrich be the policy wonk and Herman be the business manager.
In the manufacturing world, I think its just fine if a manager wants to dabble in technical minutia but he/she needs to leave the heavy lifting to the pros - the engineers etc. Same thing in govt. - give me someone with a good moral compass and conservative bent as a leader.
There are plenty of govt policy grunts available to tune a strategy. And frankly, I only care about foreign policy to the extent it affects the health of the USA. I don’t need alot of philosophical arguements to know the world would be better off if Achmedinijaad(sic) ceased to exist. And I wouldn’t care about the nuanced effect that might have on how Ubeckbeckabeckastan perceives my country.
Unless all Cain’s “negatives” go away (and I don’t think they will), he’s jinxed pretty much even as someone’s VEEP choice. HOW LONG will the egos of the “also-rans” —and by now I think we know who they all are-—keep getting in the way of the process of getting behind ONE or TWO candidates?
I’m convinced that the internecine sniping is just what the MSM wants, since it all tends to lead back to Romney, their candidate, who interestingly, no longer seems to partake of any of it.

“When Chuckie Schumer and B J Clinton like Newtie for prez then I say NOOOOOOOOOOOO”
Thats the plan. Don’t fall for it.
I admire what he’s done. Cain’s lived a decent, hard working life. The real American dream. He does not come off as emotionally stunted at age 16, as does Newt, probably because he was sexually abused by an authority figure at that age. Newt is too emotionally needy to be a firm conservative.
Herman does not have a perfect grasp of every policy issue or foreign entanglement, but neither does Perry and neither does Obama. So what? When faced with an issue, President Cain will hear the situation and decide on the basis of conservative Constitutional principles. Newt has proven that he won’t.
I’d vote for newt or even mitt if I had to, to stop Obama, but I would actually like to vote for an outsider conservative. The fact that a Cain nominee will neutralize the race issue (and it will, as Cain is a real African-American, emphasis on the latter) is for me just the cherry on top.
- give me someone with a good moral compass and conservative bent as a leader.
Exactly. Newt’s moral compass was lost in the back seat of a car somewhere in the congressional parking lot.
There is such treachery in DC - Newt knows the territory and would have Herman’s back; he could map out Congress and plan strategy better than anyone.
The entrenched staffers and Federal agency pencil pushers are a huge problem. Herman’s systems & CEO background(s)could cut through that mess like a combine.
Cain is not a phony. Targeted identification is an educated guess style of profiling, and it has kept terrorism away from El Al planes for decades.
Comeback? Didn’t know he went anywhere. His two or three in the polls.
What critical questions?
How to reverse the communist take over of the USA from within?
No other question matters.
I hope Cain can come back. The alternatives are bleak.
>>So far Cain is still a better option than Romney or Gingrich, IMHO.<<
I agree with you, but also agree with the others that he’s not good enough. And this is what I think will lead to Perry’s rehabilitation, now that Gingrich has adopted essentially the same immigration stance as Perry.
After all, the comment on having no heart was all it took to pick Perry off the top of the list at the time. If Gingrich can now adopt a limited amnesty position, then either he falls by the wayside, or Perry gets given a second chance.
He is a good, decent man. I haven’t yet decided who to support, but I was open to his candidacy, even after several public flubs..but his comment unday that he’d eave the question of which illegals to deport to the several states was just too bizarre for me. It’s totally iunworkable, and he should recognize that as such before advancing it as a viable position. I think the GOP has better choices available than Cain. However, if he does manage to win the nomination, I shall support him, with $$ and my time..because he’d still be far better than Obama..
I think that cartoon is great, not idiotic! It’s in those old style 60s informative cartoon styles, retro and cute, and it explains in simple terms so that even kids can understand, how the 999 plan would work, and be better than what we have now.
I’m not supporting Herman only for the 999 plan but I do like that he is running on an economic platform that will encourage true growth of economy and shrinkage of government and tax monstrosities.
The main reason I support him is because he can enunciate and put into practice conservative constitutional ideals without fear of not being liked. He can stand up to the media. He’s not beltway bent. And he is a successful, satisfied person, not needy and greedy like newt.
