Reagan once said "Trust but verify", since I can't verify, I can't trust Herman Cain. I do have nothing against the man, its simple as that.

You could verify if you bother to try instead of putting your hands over your ears going "not listening...not listening....nannanana". IT IS your job to verify not waiting for someone else to verify for you.

So in your world, the only candidate putting out a real serious agenda for reform and renewal "cannot win" because he isn't part of the Establishment machine?

Have you noticed what a mess we are in now days because both parties have been following this "electability" dogma for the last 60 years?

Maybe if in 2012 GOP voters finally start to think for themselves, instead of letting the Party machine tell them what to think, we can fix this mess we ar

I've heard him, he gives great speeches, wow, he sounds exactly the way I would want him to sound, why, if I didn't know any better, I would think he was saying all the things a conservative would want to hear if that guy was running for office.......which he is.

My world is called earth, whats yours ? Last time I checked, Sarah Palin wasn't a part of the establishment machine, neither is Michelle Bachman, Rick Perry is debatable.

Here is a fact, Mr. Cain has never ever cut taxes once, he has never ever taken one single action against abortion, he has never ever reduced spending, not even once. Now, I'm supposed to trust him to do those things, all for the first time, because he says so ????? Um, no.

P.S. I don't know what you define as the establishment machine, but the guy was on the board of directors for the K.C. Federal Reserve, and he was the senior economic advisor for the Bob Dole/Jack Kemp campaign. You don't get there by being an anti-establishment guy bucking the machine.

Yes, but how electability is defined is debatable, I sure as hell didn't think John McCain, or Bob Dole were electable, I don't think Mitt Romney is electable. If you can't win any elections, at any level, you sure as hell are not going to win the biggest election at the biggest level.

Maybe if in 2012 GOP voters finally start to think for themselves, instead of letting the Party machine tell them what to think, we can fix this mess we ar

Agreed, but if they think for themselves, and say we want someone who does more then talk about what he is going to do , we want proof that he has done it, you are not going to like it.
