Re: Herman Cain.
 

Too early yet, i want to know everything on him,his entire background ,no more obama episodes in this country.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

What I've seen & heard from Mr. Cain so far I like. Too early to tell if he'll even be a serious contender, but the idea of a non-politician in the White House sounds great right about now.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I'm certainly giving Mr.Cain fair consideration.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I'm afraid his interview with Chris Wallace, Sunday morning, is going to hurt him on the foreign affairs end.

He did clarify his remarks on "right to return":

Re: Herman Cain.
 

He will certainly be one I will consider.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

He's going to be slammed for being Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank in the early 90's.

He has defended himself saying that we need an alternative plan if someone, like Ron Paul, is wanting to abolish it. He asks, "What will we replace it with?" He has also stated that they have enough internal regulation that we don't need to do an audit.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I saw that interview and i thought he was very clear and correct ! NO ones call but Israel's

Re: Herman Cain.
 

He shouldn't have said, "Right to return? Right to return?" Chris had to explain that to him. It just didn't look good.

But, this is what will be interesting. Let's see if the MSM pushes him as hard as they did Palin.

Another interesting thing, I was running some errands and thought I'd see what Rush was saying about it today. Didn't hear him mention it and only glowing reports on the highlights of the interview. He totally pushed against McCain, but he is greatly in favor of Cain.

Now, don't think that I am against Cain. I would certainly support him and do support him. I listened to his speech when he was in Atlanta Saturday.

He said, "You want a leader, not a reader". :toofunny Excellent! :thumbsup

He certainly does not need notes. His support is growing. And I do like that. He would make a great VP if he can't get the top spot.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

Loved that he spoke competley without any teleprompter or notes. Spoke from his heart and didn't do any pandering.

If the MSM ever takes him serious, they'll go on an all out attack. BO's Chicago thug machine will tare this man to shreds. It's going to make what they did to Palin look like a Sunday school picnic.
I don't care if he doesn't know anything about the right to return, who can keep all that straight in the first place? His experience is no less in that dept. then BO's was or is.
I liked that Cain said if you mess with Israel you mess with the United States of America. That's good enough for me.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I'm not sure they would be able to handle Cain the same way they did Palin. He's coming across as totally likeable, sensible and down to earth. That's going to be hard to fight against.

The only other person that could top him would be Chris Christie. He pushes back with credibility. That fat boy can bring it! :toofunny

Re: Herman Cain.
 

BO and his Chicago thug machine will rip Cain to shreds if they ever think for a second he's got a chance. They might not be able to get away with the exact lengths as they did with Palin...but, they'll try and won't lose a wink of sleep over it. They won't take any chances. Dirty politics will gain new heights with those men. Chrstie isn't even running, but just the thought he might be a real challenge is getting him this:

Re: Herman Cain.
 

The right to return?
Over 60 years ago the Arabs scared some folks into fleeing that area because they (the Arabs) threatened to come in and level the place, killing all. The Israeli government pleaded with them to stay but they left, expecting to gleefully watch the destruction of Israel from the sidelines. They left. They're gone. They've been gone for over half a century. What right do they have to come back?

Re: Herman Cain.
 

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Re: Herman Cain.
 

Cain clearing up some questions on his working for the Federal Reserve and his stand on auditing the Fed, first supporting TARP, his comment about not hiring Muslims in his cabinet. Good interview.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

:thumbsup

The more I listen to him, the better I like the idea of him being president.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I hope he gets far enough that I have a chance to do so. Would be nice to take away Obummer's erstwhile "racial sympathy" vote. My slogan for Cain:

"Even MORE HISTORIC."

Re: Herman Cain.
 

As far as the "racial sympathy" thing, in my opinion, it is as much racist to vote for a person because he is African American as it is to vote against a person because he is African American.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

Yes, nevertheless it's a political reality that had and still has big consequences.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

The GOP DOES NOT need another black face.

When the GOP trumpets a black conservative because he is black, it's akin to the white guy who attempts to prove he's not racist by pointing out his one or two black friends.

A black face for the GOP is simply a salve to soothe the conscience of good-hearted GOP'ers who don't knoiw how to confront the fact that the expresion of their values (in policy and law) puts them at odds far too often with other minorities and the poor in America unnecessarily.





Putting a black face on the GOP does very little to change the perception of our stance being anti poor and/or anti minority.


The GOP doesn't need another black face. I criticized Steele's "election" to his position using this same argument-- but no one on AFF agreed with me and only ONE of my more-conservatve-than-me friends agreed with me.



We need common sense Conservatives who are compassionate-- who can express and carry out conservative policies that do not insult or disregard America's minorities and poor.

Until the GOP succeeds in doing this, Cain and others like him will be seen as the GOP's black alternative to Obama-- which isn't fair to Cain, Obama, or the GOP.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I'll go one step further and say this.

I want the GOP to put a conservative, christian, white candidate forward, whose candidacy is untaintanble with valid anti minority and/or anti poor perception issues.


Governor Barbour was that guy.
Governor Christie would be that guy if he is a Christian.

There are other GOP'ers out there, I know-- but these are the two that come to mind.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

Ah, so your candidate needs to be _white_ but let's not be racist, eh? I merely resonate with Cain's rhetoric, apart from heritage. But if race reality can be made to work in his favor, then great, it's sensible to exploit whatever political capital may be available (*may* be, but who knows in this case...obviously black heritage would be bigger disadvantage if not for Obummer..)

Re: Herman Cain.
 

You said, "... obviously black heritage would be bigger disadvantage if not for Obummer."


The implication here is astounding, which is part of the root problem that the GOP has on a national level (an often on a local level too) when it comes to matters where race (or economics which in America goes hand-in-hand with race historically) is involved.



Thanks for your honesty.

In no ways I am trying to paint you as racist-- most GOP'ers aren't.

Still, your statement speaks voluimes as to why the perception the GOP has as being anti minority and anti poor is so hard to shake.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I think you are right.

How long has it been since Affirmative Action was instituted?
Yet, whenever some of us see an African American in a good position or situation there is a question in the back of our minds if he/she earned that or is there only because of skin color.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

This is a sad reality.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

Somebody is working for him. Great video!

:thumbsup

If Congressman Allen West doesn't run, I'm inclined to vote for Herman Cain.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I doubt Allen will run. I'd like him to be appointed Secretary of State though. :thumbsup

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I'd like to see him in any position of power...Sec. of State, that's good. Sec. of Defense would be good too.

I've been reading everything I can get my hands on about this man. Very, impressive and seems to be fearless....that's very refreshing.

Re: Herman Cain.
 

I do really like Allen West. He certainly is not afraid to address the Islamic issue. :thumbsup

Back to Cain - I heard Krauthammer, who originally stated that Cain's run is more on lines of entertainment, say that he would prefer someone like Cain that is honest and humble about what he does not know and will find an expert to educate him than someone like Obama who is arrogant about what he does not know even after consulting with experts. Good words! :thumbsup

Re: Herman Cain.
 

Good words, indeed! Imagine that, someone in politics trying to be honest! :)
