Damn this slow internet!
Lonestar is a flat-out racist. She has shown it over and over again.
Ping.
As I have pointed out for a long time, though, this is the seminal damning aspect of affirmative action: that those who are competent will be assumed to be of the same caliber as those who are not. This entrenches racist stereotypes, it does not remove them.
There are those, however, for those who are willing to look, who have accomplished much and would have without the program.
Cain’s done no gaffes as far as I’ve heard. Have only known him to be articulate and well spoken.
Liberals, leftists, live in a world of their own; where nothing makes sense. Their explanations (of why Cain’s not a REAL black man) are convoluted.
Our son was a liberal and voted for Obama; he’s feeling very BETRAYED now. Only those too proud to admit they made a booboo keep pinning their hopes on Obama.
I can’t believe any one on FR would ask that question. The answer is simple, 100 times more money in OWNING a national Pizza chain than a job as rocket scientist.
If Cain, with average intelligence (as you call it) has a net worth upto $6.8 Million, then I must be a duffer because my net worth is no where that. I imagine you are very intelligent and using that superior intelligence you are perhaps worth many times more than Cain.

How can you say any recent president has done a good job?
Nixon gave us galloping inflation which his WIN (Whip Inflation Now) campaign with price controls was a total disaster. Reagan actually tripled federal spending levels in just 3 years. Bush-41 gave us tax increases, Clinton gave us Hillarycare scare but was smart enough to partner with GOP congress later, and Bush-43 gave us prescription meds and Iraq war, both costing Trillions.
I had it with experienced politicians. Time to go for a proven successful businessman.
Frankly, I don’t think that Buffett, Gates or Corzine would get us out of trouble, but what the heck, let’s give Cain a chance!
Hmmmm...net worth equal smarts??
Kanye West - Net worth $70 million
Judge Judy - Net worth $95 million
Jesse Ventura - Net Worth $12 million
Buffet out of those 3 could, but he is not available.
Gates was more a computer programming geek than a manager. Microsoft has been run by a different CEO person than Gates for a very long time.
Corzine has never managed a main street business. He is from Goldman Sachs specializing in making buyout deals.
I woulda liked to see Lee Iacocca run for president. Would have made a great president. Perot was a bit nutty for my taste.
Correcting my typo, 3 years should be 8 years.
In business world, your earnings are usually based on your success rate. So yes, net worth is a good indicator of your business acumen.
Those TV & Movie stars & Wrestling/sports stars are a different situation. There success is very subjective. They are also not known to handle money well.
What this country direly needs is a good economy manger, with conservative core.
He must have had a crystal ball to know that is where he would wind up.
Cain benefited from Jesse Jackson's PUSH program.
When Cain was in BK management program, he didn't qualify to own one.
Art Laffer said that Herman Cain’s tax plan would get the economy booming again.

You do know who Art Laffer is, right?
Rush Limbaugh said Herman Cain won the FL straw poll because hes consistently conservative

Dont forget, they told us for weeks that whoever won that straw poll would be the nominee.
I usually ignore totally illogical comments. Congrats, your qualified!
