My but you have a huge chip on your shoulder and a negative attitude. Like one of those people who always has to be right and will move the goal post as preposterously far as necessary Not a good way to go through life. But have a wonderful evening anyway.

I was actually rather impressed with him too. All I heard was that he was a bigger RINO than Romney but he seems pretty conservative to me. I still have Cain, Gingrich & Perry as my top 3 but I was impressed with him the other night.
Cindie
And exactly when was it he ran for POTUS before? You are simply a hoot! At first I thought you were just bitter but you’re incredibly uniformed too. Good Lord! I do think you need prayers so I’m going to include you in mine.

Cain ran for public office several times, including a campaign in 2000 for President and 2004 for Senator, neither of which were successful. In May 2011, Cain entered the race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
This is common knowledge to most people!
LOL! Embarrassed much?
I would still appreciate the prayers.
Yes, I think we all could. I do sincerely believe we all deeply love this country and in the end we all want the same thing. We just disagree on how (or who) to get there.

Since you learned what I knew, do we still disagree that much? Just askin’?
Your contention appears to be that had it not been for affirmative action, Cain would not have gone anywhere.
Opportunity is one thing, what you do with it is another. Where you go from there is a function of what you do, in any subset of the workforce, and given the need, government-imposed or market driven, to hire from a specific group does not mean you would not select the most qualified person for the job within that group. To do otherwise would guarantee failure. Just being black won't get you farther than the front door.
But you make a good point about the biggest problem with affirmative action: those who do accomplish something will be denigrated as if they only got the position because of the color of their skin. It still happens today.
Cain had already done one career (and yes, in those days, if you weren't singing and dancing, you'd better be noticeably better than your white counterparts if you were going to advance in most jobs--just reality) before that even became a factor.
I think the implication that he and Obama are only where they are because of affirmative action does Mr. Cain a grave disservice. Especially when compared to the sock-puppet community organizer with all the uberslick handlers.
I’m not sure what you mean about “learned what you knew” but as far as a candidate, yes I think we do disagree. Cain is my first choice now and has been for some time. There are other candidates I would gladly support were they to get the nomination and some I would have to drag myself to the ballot box to pull the lever but Cain, for a variety of reasons has my enthusiastic support.

And you are for sure the top guy in your village!
Average beats at least three of the most recent four to hold the office. But of course, you wildly underestimate Cain.
Two responses and you didn’t manage to identify who you are supporting?
Begone troll.
Go ahead....see what “accomplished experienced politicians” have done for us. Right. Check. Got it.
And I'm not running for anything!
I watched debate that CNBC hosted. Cain kept talking 999, But he also kept speaking in the sense of doing away with all regulations and letting the good bankers do whatever they want because that would be good for the economy. His view on the matter was quite clear.
Holes in his bio...and that I wasn't as stupid as you thought I was.
Yea, and he even delivers his smarts with that fiery southern black preacher thang.
Really, I think he’z probably a pretty good guy. Just not sure America's ready for another black president, specially back to back.
Not being racial, just kinda feelin the heartbeat is all.
