LOL! You really think ANY of the GOP candidates other than Newt knew what the "right of return" was? Obama probably knew - because his "Palestinian" terrorist pal Rashid Khalidi advocated for it. Do you think Reagan knew every detail of international relations prior to his swearing in? Absurd. John Bolton would be Secretary of State. HE knows all about this and would advise a President Cain. Grow up.
And that loon you're talking about got Cain millions of dollars worth of free advertising time on radio and TV all across the country.
And that loon you're talking about got $2 million in cash pumped into the Cain campaign in one week, due to him being a “loon.”
Looney like a Fox.
I have no idea. Judging the source I’d steer clear of thinking abut it too much.
I like Cain on #2 Q & A.
Here's more:
What the exchanges revealed is that Cain lacks a flair for metaphor as well as a working grasp of his own platform. He emphatically denied the charge that his 9 percent business levy would function as a value-added tax. But the analysis commissioned by his own campaign, which he urged everyone to read, takes a somewhat different view.
"Each business would pay tax on gross receipts less payments to other businesses," it explains. "Allowing the subtraction of payments for intermediate goods yields the value added by the company. Subtracting investment as well yields a subtraction method value-added tax (emphasis added)."
Obviously, the Herminator has managed to avoid contact with the most basic facts about his own tax plan. He describes it in terms that even his own advisers reject. And he exhibits no curiosity about what it contains. Cain brings to mind basketball great Charles Barkley, who complained of being misquoted in his autobiography.

I am not a candidate, or even Jewish, and *I* knew about the “right to return” propaganda. But that’s okay. President Cain will know everything. The Smoking Man will fill him in on Middle East policy.
Bwahaha!!! No supporter of Rick Perry should be casting aspersions on Herman Cain’s understanding of our country’s founding.
Here’s Rick Perry on the stump:
“... the reason that we fought the revolution in the 16th century...”

I like honesty not a bullsister.......A successful businessman and president is only as good as the people he surrounds himself with.
I worked almost 35 years for a manufacturing company, went thru many plant managers and not one of them could rewire the control panel on a 4 ton press.
Maybe they should do an ad with Perry smoking. Maybe that will keep him hanging on a little longer.
Cain was exactly right (in the post he made trying to bash Cain), that there are far too many people who are one-issue voters.
Let's not vote for Cain because he didn't know what Right of Return was. That sounds like a plan. Let's stick with Obama. Yeah, let's do that.
If I only voted for candidates who believed everything I believe, or knew the answer to every gotcha question, I dare say I would have never voted in my life.
This isn't about the ideal candidate, this is about the best of what we are offered. Life is hard, and sometimes you have to make a call. Leaders know that. Cry-babies don't.
You’re affiliated with Perry.
You’re bashing Cain to elevate your guy.
You’re angry.
I get it. Your guy is not leading the polls. I’m sorry about that.
But as others have asked, how about posting something that tells us why we should vote for Perry. I’m not seeing it.
Another kneepadding Texas twit.
I’m a born and bred Texan and have lived with Perry as my governor for a long time, now—too long, IMO.
To me, he’s just another entrenched elite politician. He’s sometimes a RINO.
If he gets the nomination, I will, of course, vote for him.
If Elmer Fudd gets the nomination, I would vote for him.........
Anybody but obammy will get my vote—and not voting is as bad as voting for obammy.
Brevity is our friend,nobody reads posts that are like reading “Gone with the wind”. Frankly we don't give a da-n.
I think its probably going to be a key to the campaign because thats what people really care about is getting American working again, Perry said. Were going to lay out a way to get 1.2 million Americans working.
So which is it, 1.2 million jobs or 2.5 million jobs? I guess his handlers told him that 1.2 million didn't sound good, so they should at least double it for the TV commercial. That quote was from October 12th. The TV ad came out on Oct. 25th. So in 13 days, they found a way to double the number of jobs? Or he misunderestimated the number the first time?
My point is, if anyone wants to go tit-for-tat on tiny little details like this, go right ahead, but no candidate is perfect on all this little stuff. We can all do it with all the candidates. Personally, I hate that kind of thing. So what if he said 1.2 million one week and 2.5 million two weeks later. And so what if Cain says it's not a VAT tax but someone else does. Who the hell cares what it's CALLED?? I only care about what it will ACCOMPLISH for this country.
You Perrybots were warned but you insist on staying in the gutter politically. FINE, so rather then respond to your lies about Cain’s record, let us take a FACTUAL look at Perry’s.
In 1993 Cain was a leader in the fight against Hillary Care, the precursor to Obama care.
What was Rick Perry doing in 1993? Why campaigining FOR Hillary Care!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Perry#Early_political_career
In April 1993, Perry, while serving as Texas agriculture commissioner, expressed support for the effort to reform the nation’s health care, describing it as most commendable.[27] The health care plan, first revealed in September, was ultimately unsuccessful due to Republican congressional opposition.[28][29][30][31][32] In 2005, after being questioned on the issue by a potential opponent in the Republican governor primary, Perry said that he expressed his support only in order to get Clinton to pay more attention to rural health care.[33]
Bearing False witness is still a sin.
“I believe that life begins at conception. And abortion under no circumstances,” Cain said. Morgan asked Cain if that meant he felt the procedure was impermissible in cases of rape and incest, which many anti-abortion activists and conservatives carve out exceptions for.
Cain reiterated that there were “no circumstances” under which he supported abortion.
“If one of your female children, grandchildren was raped, you would honestly want her to bring up that baby as her own?” Morgan asked. Cain said that Morgan was “mixing” questions, but then replied:
“No, it comes down to it's not the government's role or anybody else’s role to make that decision. Secondly, if you look at the statistical incidents, you're not talking about that big a number. So what I'm saying is it ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make. Not me as president, not some politician, not a bureaucrat. It gets down to that family. And whatever they decide, they decide. I shouldn't have to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive issue.”
I don't know how he could make it any clearer then thi
