You can watch the full video, or separately the interview with Cain or the Debate between Jindal (for Perry) and Pawlenty (for Romney)

ping for later.....
he wont go on record for a full border fence or for deportation and he wants to pass the burden the Feds should be carrying to the statse to "do what the federal government can’t do and won’t do as far as dealing with illegals that are in the United States today.”
Hey Cain why dont you give them in state tuition so they can be productive citizens or at least their children of whom the states have been paying for for years to educate anyway. Since you wont deport or are you gonna pass deportation to the states?
And Rick Perry has been the Executive of the most successful state in the Union since the Obama recession.
If you watched Mr.Cain’s responses on foreign issues and you’re okay with them then we have differences far too large to solve here. I expect a candidate to know what “right of return” is. To know the underlying ideas of neocons so he can understand their strengths and flaws. I don’t expect him to admit to being unfsmiliar with the term. I expect a candidate who is asking for my vote to have an understanding of the wars in which we are engaged and some framework of ideas on how he will deal with them. Mr. Cain has not demonstrated that he has any plan to deal with the world. We elected one POTUS who had no experience or even concept of statecraft, I don’t think, with the world falling apart, that we can afford to elect another.
What do you think about Jindal?
I think it's great to have a candidate who is honest for a change, and doesn't bluff you into thinking he already has an answer for everything. Cain doesn't have access to the info a President would have to have before making decisions. When decisions are made rashly, you get disasters like WW1, or the Iraq invasion. As a former business executive, he knows you have to have briefings and work together with others.
When Perry was asked about Pakistan, he wandered off into irrelevant trivia about how India was our friend, etc. All bluster and blowing smoke.
Because he doesn’t know that now, what does it do to change anything having to do with it today? Nothing. In the military, a commander who thinks he knows everything or worse professes to, is more dangerous to his troops than the enemy. Any officer is only as good as his senior NCO’s.
I earned my position in my trade not because I could memorize a book three semesters before I intended to take the class. In some cases I did not take the class but Cleped it instead. I categorized what I needed to remember to quickly find an answer to a question. I don’t consider myself as “smart” but instead rely on my “smart books” to catalog the knowledge I need when I need it. And yes, even at 3:00 AM.
Immigration is not one of Cain’s strong areas. He only rates a C- from NumbersUSA. Michele Bachmann is the champion there, with a B-. But people seem to have deserted Bachmann; Perry’s candidacy served its purpose for the Establishment in that regard: divide the conservative vote with a faux conservative candidate.
We have a congresswoman and a defeated Senator and ex Speaker of the house a businessman a guy who worked for Obama and a nutjob who runs for President every election, then we have Romney and the Governor of the reddest state in the Union and the most successful. You are delusional.
Like I said in my first sentence. Differences are far too large to be settled.
Geez, another one who “thinks” he knows everything. I am sorry for the burden you have to prove to yourself everyday and having to live up to being a legend in your own mind.
Not really, I just don’t suffer fools lightly.
I’ve been polite and civil through this discourse, but I guess since you don’t suffer fools lightly you find it hard to live with yourself.
OOOOOOOOO! So should I take my brain out now so we can start the slip fight on even ground, or would it be more productive to stick your head out the window to change your mind?
You really don’t want to get in a clash of minds with me. If we live nearby we could settle this physically. If you want to send me a message. Otherwise give it up, you’re fighting way over your weight.
I agree!
You wouldn't accept the answer that common sense habitually outsmarts know it all elitism so go cry somewhere else in your beer. Or would that be a latte?
Common sense??? Do I sense a soured on life Palinista.
