Excellent article, and I have no doubt that if Cain was elected President, he’d be a good President, and the country would be much better off.
Abe Lincoln was nominated after all the other candidates blocked each other, because he was every delegate’s second choice.
“His comments about the right of communities to deny Muslims from building a mosque, betraying a woefully inadequate understanding of the First Amendment, was the proverbial nail in the coffin for me.”
Many of us believe that Islam is not a religion but a philosophical/legal system that is incompatible with democracy and our Constitution. The Constitution is not a suicide document - we are under no obligation to tolerate a belief system that has, as one of its tenets, the aim to destroy us and our way of life either by domination or violence.
Excellent article and well made points.
Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin are both pro-gun.
Cain flunks the gun rights test.
Although Cain says he supports the Second Amendment, in the next breath he says he fully supports any and all state gun control/prohibitions.
That is like supporting federal rights for women and blacks, but allowing women and blacks to be slaves if the state laws permit them to be slaves.
I will not support any candidate who allows, and favors, individual states to outlaw guns, or to take away womens voting rights, or to allow slavery, or to prohibit free speech, etc. .

The central issue this campaign is JOBS.
Hermann Cain, as the only business leader running for POTUS, is a perfect fit for the number one issue.

If Cain feels that he’s new to foreign policy, the may I suggest he choose John Bolton as his VP, whom I have an enormous amount of respect for.
