When I point out a fact it’s a lecture? Don’t call us cultists anymore, okay?

Let me point out a fact. I never have. You're barkin up the wrong tree.

[no dems]

Palin/Cain or Cain/Palin? Either way, we could get our country back.

Amen, amen and amen!!!

[HighlyOpinionated]

Yeah, but he won’t.

It’d be more likely that it’ll be Sarah Palin and Lt Col Allen West on the GOP Ticket.

West has more name recognition and he also rides a motorcycle.

Unlike Mr ‘sissy-bicycle-rider’ Obama.

Geek says....”I like the idea of having a president who actually understands what it is to run a business and create jobs.”

I say....so does Romney. You like That idea? I don’t.

Vet .... Federal judge or cabinet post aside, you’re still more right than wrong. I would not vote for a pizza CEO, I don’t care HOW conservative he is (in primaries, that is - in the general I’ll vote for ANYBODY who’s not Satan himself, which we already have). What I don’t like is the copy-cat tendency of Republicans. (Our black man is blacker than your black man??? Puhleeze.) Cain is a fine man. There are many fine conservative men of all colors. They aren’t running for president. Have we not witnessed enough of what lack of experience does to this country??

Either Bachman or Palin with herman Cain as VP.

I don't like Romney because his past performance shows clearly that he's a big government liberal. Is Cain? I don't know yet, but I do want to know more about him - do you have any information on his views on RomneyCare and ObamaCare? Taxes and deficit reduction? The WoT?

The fact that Cain understands the negative business impact of the increasingly stupid legislation that Washington cranks out is a big plus - the economy and the national debt are the most important issues facing the US today, even more than the WoT.

George Will posts on FR?

WoT? Taxes? Terrorism?

[HiTech RedNeck]

What you call copy cat in this case is actually the GOP showing reality after the DemoRats have been projecting illusions.

It is by no means a slam dunk that Cain will be the GOP presidential candidate, but he bids fair for a prominent position in the cabinet of whoever the GOP presidential candidate is.

Liberals’ heads will explode, regardless of the details.

FRmail me to get on or off the Herman Cain ping list

Times have changed and there are younger voters who look beyond race as the deciding factor in voting for a candidate. Its the message of the candidate that is important. If you don’t like Cain that is your business. However as Cain says, having governmental experience can be a minus against you in this election. Just look at Newt if you want an example of what I am talking about.

[OldNewYork]

This is silly. America’s first Black president was Bill Clinton.

>>Palin/Cain or Cain/Palin? Either way, we could get our country back.<<

I can point out the specifics of Mrs. Palins problems — problems that could be overcome in a Cain/Palin ticket — with her on the top of a 2020 ticket after 8 years of being the best damn VP we ever had — one who makes policy and then sees to it being carried out.

Cain can do it — of we all pull with him.

He is well-known for taking on Clinton over Hillarycare in the 90s. He’s totally against Obamacare.

Against illegal aliens and sharia law.

Wants lower taxes and less regulation.

Pro-Israel.

"As I’ve said before, with Obama in the WH, experience is not an issue anymore."


I disagree, just because we put someone so unqualified in office, does not mean that we now can remove the qualifications for office. If anything, we need to be more insistent on qualifications. I see that as a matter of principle, but it will have practical implications as well. If Obama's popularity is still in the dumps come election time, a major issue could be made that it was a mistake to elect someone with so few qualifications.

That all sounds good to me. I want to hear Cain speak on the issues and learn more about his views, but so far, so good.

[culpeper]

Cain/Palin could put the White House into Republican hands for 16 years. I’d take it either way tho.

Forget it. The race card is already played.

[Paperdoll]

With John Bolton as SOS.

Many females members of FR agree with me.
