Herman is a great guy. He just doesn't have it. Not even close.
Total idiocy. Cain is the ONLY candidate with the courage and intellectual honesty to not give a focus group tested sound bite answer to complex serious issues.
Apparently the way the RINO Media Establishment defines it a “Great leader” is a plastic phoney who gives absurd non answer when asked tough questions
Good information, thanks for posting. As a general premise, I’m with you: we so badly want somebody to carry the guidon that we are tempted to overlook the requirement that the candidate actually be able to do the job. There might be a great place for Cain in someone’s cabinet, but I’m not comfortable he’s got the goods YET.
Colonel, USAFR
Cain did very well on Fox News Sunday. He was very effective on the Israel question by the way. Cain stated the Palestinians would get “absolutely nothing” from a Cain Presidency. That was music to my ears! Cain will also leave the decisionmaking and negotiating to Israel. He couldn’t have said that any better.
Also, I love how Cain is scaring up all the Liberal Republicans on Free Republic into a frenzy!
My heart sank to my boots, guys. But Cain is honest, he just needs to come up with ideas to get us back on the right track, ideas that will work in the present circumstances. Whether he gets the nomination or not — lay that aside. We are so lucky this man stepped forward. He’s terrific. A lion. Think of the smearing he’ll take from the MSM, the toll it will take on his family and friends. It’s really horrible even to contemplate, but we know the left and Obama will let nothing stand in their way to destroy him. (i.e. Justice Thomas.)Well, whoever gets the nod will get the same treatment. Sigh. They’re desperately trying to dig up dirt on Christie.
I like him alot also but he needs to prep better. He also got tripped up on Wallace’s question regarding “the right of return” for the Pali’s. He either had a brain fart or he wasnt familiar with the phrase and it’s meaning.
How about supposed “Conservatives” around here drop the scum bag Alinsky tactics and try telling us why we should support their chosen candidate rather then spending all their time trashing the other candidates.
so, a single interview is now the entire basis for evaluating a candidate. Cool. I guess we can eliminate everyone who hasn’t answered every question perfectly. This includes every human on earth including the previous 42 men who held the office. I guess we need someone no less than Jesus himself to run in 2012.
And I suppose Saint Sarah does?
He's smart enough to surround himself with people who would, unlike the current one who surrounds us with people who would drive us further down the road to ruin or other candidates who would surround themselves with career politicians. Which would you prefer?
> Herman is a great guy. He just doesn’t have it. Not even close.
I’m gonna let you in on a little secret.
Nobody has the plan to bring America back from the edge, because we’ve already fallen over. It’s pathetic that so few of us realize it yet.
Get right with God. Get your personal affairs in order as best as you can. America is in free fall, and we’re about to hit the bottom. Total collapse is imminent.
Wish I had better news, but that’s how I see it at this point.
Now, there may be a visionary and a leader out there that can lead us up out of the abyss, but I think we’re going to fall first.
He did kind of slip up when Wallace asked him about the "Right of Return" thing.
Cain froze as if he didn't know what the phrase meant. In his defense, I doubt if most Americans know what the phrase means. It's just one of those things that enter the lexicon that everybody assumes everybody else understands.
Once he caught on, he pretty much knocked it out of the park. It's up to Israel to decide how to handle the issue.
Which I still don't quite understand. I guess its akin to the controversy that was stirred up when West Germans tried to reclaim property that East Germans were living on after The Walll came down.
I think. A little help?
When you try to hide your true allegiences by posting a lie, you lose the argument.
How about you try telling us why we should support Sarah rather then wasting our time trashing everyone else?

Ping you? You're much better off being ignored. If you're not trashing Palin, you're looking for a thread where you can. Trash in, trash out. ;^|

There's only one reason why the Liberotten Misleadia would get behind, or express enthusiasm for, any GOP candidate. If they hoped that their focus on that person would help keep Sarah Palin from sweeping the nomination
Rather then continue to lie to us, why don't you try making an argument FOR Palin rather the trash talking the other choices?
Before we go writing off Cain, may I remind everyone that the current president had no management or executive experience, never held a real job, never advanced up the corporate ladder, did lots of drugs as a youth, has hidden his academic transcript and writings, and was part of a radical leftist ‘church’.
Obama is the least qualified person to ever hold the office of president. Hell, he’s not even a natural born citizen.
I like Herman Cain and believe that he is, indeed, a good man. However, I do not, think he has what is needed to be president of this nation at this particular juncture in history. His lack of understanding regarding the “right of return” was serious.
I am taking a much more in-depth look at Pawlenty right now.
Sadly, you’re wasting your time, FRiend.
There, fixed it.
I know little about Cain. I know more about the principles upon which this nation was created and to which it needs to be restored. Increase freedom. Decrease government. Give more power to the states and reduce the power of the federal government. Eliminate numerous departments. Stop giving money to foreign governments without quid pro quo that is verifiable. Let the free market determine what succeeds and what doesn’t. Keynesian economics must be put to death.
Sadly, too many people are too dependent on government. The education system is a complete joke. I believe we have reached and quite possibly exceeded the tipping point.
As far as Cain, Palin, Ryan, Bachmann or whoever is concerned the question is who will put our country first above all else. I want a patriot in the White House.
