If he were debating Barack Obama, Newt Gingrich could chew him up and spit him out.And it would be worth the price of admission to see it.

Politicians can solve almost any problem usually by creating a bigger problem. But, so long as the voters are aware of the problem that the politicians have solved, and unaware of the bigger problems they have created, political "solutions" are a political success. Yep, like proposing a lowl low, low national sales tax on top of the income tax to cure high taxes.
Oh, but it's okay - Congress won't break their legs, falling, tripping, and laughing hysterically to vote to raise those low, low, low taxes as soon as they can.
And you can also trust - my fellow Americans - that once this national sales tax is passed, why, Congress will then throw out the income tax altogether, because they simply won't need it anymore to satisfy the Federal need for money.

You bet it would. Obama doesn’t have the guts to do it, not even close.

I’m curious as to what Dr. Sowell thinks about Herman Cain’s economic plan.

I hope the people who are challenging Obamacare in the Supreme Court point out that the equal application of the laws, mandated by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, is violated when the president can arbitrarily grant hundreds of waivers to the Obamacare law to his political favorites, while everyone else has to follow its costly provisions.That point has not been hit nearly hard enough, IMO.

I am too and we may see a column on that from Dr. Sowell.
In an interview last week Dr. Sowell was asked about Herman Cain. He replied that Cain is articulate then when asked about Cain’s lack of experience in an elected office Sowell replied that the White House is not a place for on the job training, that was all he said.

Just WHAT do you think they have been doing with the tax codes/rates ever since the 16th?
BTW, Cain's plan REPLACES the current federal income tax code.
WHY are you spreading LIES?
BTW, proposing a lowl
How about a LOL at your stupid post?

Most of us may lament the fact that so many more people are today dependent on food stamps and other government subsidies. But dependency usually translates into votes for whoever is handing out the benefits, so an economic disaster can be a political bonanza, as it was for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Don't count Obama out in 2012.
When it switches from "never let a crisis go to waste" to 'creating a crisis in haste isn't a waste,' it'll be over.

I didnt take him to mean WH experience. So what does on the job training mean for someone who could have never possibly held the job?
A man can be expected to have a back round that could conceivably lead to his qualifications as POTUS, I think we can agree on that.
So the next question now becomes what is the back round the man should have?
I think Cain has the right stuff in terms of economics and management and more impotantly success in what he's done. Unfortunately I'm not sure about the political accumen. He knows well enough that no one man can be the master of all trades and knows how to subordinate those necessary tasks with people who specialize in those areas....yet some find fault in that. I find it refreshing.
In my view, Cain, Gingrich?, John Bolton (SOS), Paul (sec treasury) Palin (energy)??
Just some thought.
We have such a long way to go and quite frankly my support is behind no one 100% at this point.
I'm of the mind right now that tomorrow could change everything, up in the air as they say.....so, we'll see what happens.

Regardless of how the current Republican presidential nomination process ends, I hope that they will never again have these televised "debates" among a crowd of candidates, which just turn into a circular firing squad damaging whoever ends up with the nominationYour attention span just couldn't manage to hang on long enough to read that one, huh?

You’re right. Of course it would never happen. The big 0 would never agree to it. Newt would lay him bare.
