The country is dying, and your #1 issue listed is “affirmative action”? Are you serious?
He’s come right out and said he’s for the food stamp program. How does that jive with being a conservative?
Because there are people who actually need food stamps at one time or another.
Cain would not be “The Food Stamp president” as someone recently called 0bama.
I think you raise fair questions, which should be answered during debates and the primary vetting process.
I’m excited about him because I pretty much agree with what he has espoused so far. However, I fully expect that people will dig further into his positions and air them all for the world to see.
Should be an interesting year!
Really stretching there? It could be worse, he could be TrumpPaulRomneyNewtJohnson. Instead, he is... gosh, only 98% Conservative and he hasn’t answered some questions the way you want.. and another person ignoring he was strongly against TARP when it was launched. A lot of people and sites are twisting his one statement about one part of TARP made back when everyone was debating what to do.
I like him and I am going to vote for him. We must STOP “winner take all0” all primaries or this socialist from Massachusetts is going to do what McAmnesty did to our party. Every candidate should get their percentage of the delegates earned. Don’t let these liberals steal our party again. We will not vote for SOCIALISM!! Get these Globalists communists out of our party.
HE WILL BE ANNOUNCING TOMORROW AT 12 IN ATLANTA...THEN THE ‘GAMES’ BEGIN AND YOU WILL ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW AND THEM SOME
Also you can scroll down to 8:55 To ZOGBY POLL STUNNER..and the first or second post is a thumbnail autobiography of Mr. Cain
from Wikipedia
He is a former deputy chairman (1992–94) and chairman (1995–96) of the civilian board of directors to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
That explains his reluctance to audit the Fed. If he were to come out and renounce his ties to them, I’d be ok with him.
That said, he does not have the experience we need to bring this country back from the brink. He has no foreign affairs experience or contacts, for one,and that is going to be crucial with the ME aflame and Israel in the cross hairs.
And there's little chance he'd win against obamama
However, this man below has the knowledge, on all fronts, and the backbone. No one intimidates him. He knows who our enemies are, foreign and domestic, he knows the Constitution, the Bible - and is much admired by the Israelis. (They feel about him over there as many of here about Netanyahu.)
I'm praying that, by fall, this man will be convinced to run.
Latest of Lt. Col West's statements - he says it up straight and backs down to no one.

Just look at all the different clips of him - and picture obumbles trying to debate him. Col. WEst would shred him - on every subject. We’d probably see a narcissistic meltdown.
I am a Cain supporter along with a few others. Your questions do need an answer/response from Cain and as well from all other would be POTUSA candidates.
Study of history should never be ignored. All empires in history starting with the Roman Empire & including the Third Reich have one thing in common...they ALL ended in destruction of the empires, and the main reason was military campaigns in foreign lands, debt & debasement of currency.
With $14.32 Trillion in debt, and $1.5+ trillion in yearly deficits, the indisputable fact is that we are headed in the same direction if we do not curb our adventures in foreign lands, and real soon, like right now.

Unlike the democrats and their lapdog media organizations, republicans actually vet their candidates... if the left hasn’t destroyed them already... so you shouldn’t worry.
Things are just getting started.
He wrote an excellent article on his foreign policy critics called “I’m nit going to shoot from the lip.”. There is no way a candidate can come up with an honest strategy without being privy to classified information. He a general strategy and it is sound and conservative. He also wants to consult with people closest to the problems in each situation and understand what is the goal here, is it winnable, etc.
Maybe that is a non-answer to you but it sure resonated with a ton of people...he has had very positive response to his problem solving approach, even in foreign policy.
He was pro TARP in theory, as most business people were before the facts all came out. He did not like how it was implemented, with the gov’t choosing winners and losers. Soon after the details came out, he expressed concerns. he never supported any bailout, nor any stimulus by Obama.
He does not agree with Ron Paul on everything but he has also said he will not stand in Paul’s way in auditing the Fed. Those two things do not contradict each other. He has addressed this numerous times and it doesn’t matter to Ron Paul followers because they hear what they want to hear.
Yes he sat on, and chaired a board of a branch in Kansas City. Do you even know what it means to sit on a board? Mr Cain has said back then people didn’t dream of the Fed doing what they are doing now. By the way - who exactly are the banksters? So many like to use that scary moniker, but is it some big secret organzation? No, it is a corrupt few. People cross the line trying to draw some imaginary association Mr. Cain with the likes of Dodd and Frank. If you have some proof Mr. Cain was involved in any unlawful or corrupt activity in the banking world, bring it.
He is all for cutting government waste and abuse not only now but he has spoken about it during Bush, even in Clinton days. You can thank Herman Cain that we are not already under Hillarycare.
Immigration - you only picked up one of his FOUR point plan. Secure the borders. 2-enforce the laws on the books 3-enforce the path to citizenship that is already there and 4-empower the states. The last one is because he understands that you cannot micromanage everything from DC.
Food stamps - he believes we have to move away from the current system. He believes in a hand up instead of a hand-out.
I don’t know why he supported a democrat once, if he did. I voted for a Democrat once in a local race because they were actually more conservative than the Republican, so I’m not going to worry about it too much.
