I’m concerned about how Herman Cain wins on foreign aid/foreign affair issues and on the issue of affirmative action. There’s a debate coming soon that’s, just, focusing on foreign aid/foreign affair issues, and Herman needs to do very well in response to foreign aid/foreign affair issues. The MSM could, also, continue to attempt to make Herman look very bad on the issue of affirmative action, and the MSM has, already, tried to make Herman look bad in his responses to the possible hiring of Moslems/those of the Islamic faith in a Cain administration. The MSM wants to “trip up” Herman Cain very badly!
How about a full effort in finding each and every penny of waste, fraud, and abuse, from each and every department of government and at each and every level of government? Then, how about showing the complete results to the general public?-No excuses, and no exceptions! I would be very surprised if, even, as one example, the Department of Defense doesn’t have a single penny of waste, fraud, and/or abuses in it somewhere, and dittos to the rest of the U.S. government all the way down to its most local level.
He plans to do that - did you actually listen to/read the interview?? 10% cuts across the board, deep dives, etc?
In another interview he even went as far as to say that if a cabinet member couldn’t find a cut in their dept, they would be sent packing (not in so many words)
Your missing my point. A 10% cut across the board is, just, a symbolic move that’s limited to 10%, while doing nothing to get rid of ALL of the ongoing waste, fraud, and abuses that are happening at each and every government entity. Accurately, find all waste, fraud, and abuses that are happening-each and every penny and everywhere in government. Then, show the complete results to the general public. Finally, take the proper actions to, fully, resolving these results.
The more that I think about Cain, he seems like he could be the next Reagan - a major difference is he’d be a black Reagan. To those of us who are truly colorblind his skin color is of no consequence.
And the next Reagan CAN ONLY COME FROM THE BLACK SIDE OF THE FENCE – given our society’s bigoted prejudice against “white males”
Even stupid people will at least listen to Cain about capitalism because he’s black, but if Cain were white, their minds would be slammed shut, for they are true racists. They must hate themselves.
So Cain is the conservative Trojan Horse who just might have a chance to unseat this crazy socialist cancer ravaging its host organism (the USA).
There are so many ways to, successfully, criticize Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, at the same time, on many issues, but, so far, the other ‘12 GOP Presidential candidates haven’t touched these criticisms: Mitt’s ongoing support of man-made global warming; how Mitt implemented RomneyCare just before leaving the Massachusetts Governor’s office; full details on Mitt’s flip-flops on many social issues; Mitt’s failure to prevent gay marriage from happening in Massachusetts and throughout the U.S.; Mitt’s ongoing campaigning for POTUS since 2005; a Governor Mitt’s lack of power over a Democratic dominated Massachusetts state legislature on a majority of state issues; Mitt’s ongoing refusal to believe that RomneyCare is a mistake; Mitt’s probability that he couldn’t carry Massachusetts, during the ‘12 November election with Mitt as the final ‘12 GOP Presidential candidate; Mitt’s probability that he couldn’t win another term as Massachusetts Governor; Mitt’s refusal to encourage “fixes” to all of the problems with RomneyCare; Mitt’s refusal to believing that the mandate in RomneyCare is unconstitutional;...
He also needs to make the govt. subject to the same laws that the rest of the country must honor. For example, when Obamacare passed, Congress would be under Obamacare. No more cadillac plan for them. Federal workers, except for the military, should not have better health insurance and pensions than the average citizen.
Purely symbolic. A Congressman or a Senator with a family -- this salary isn't excessive in Washington. If they'd cut the rest of the government down it would be more meaningful to the taxpayers.
OUTRAGEOUS! I have suggested in the past that term limits be imposed on Congress: three terms for the House and two terms for the Senate. With NO pensions. Career politicians have been our nemesis! Begin by voting out of office anyone with more time than that! Cut their pensions to $25,000 a year for five years. That’s for the really old timers. They can earn their living by making their little speeches or writing their little books., or serving at the local level, should the people so decide.
This is fair. This is reasonable. Herman Cain would, indeed, set a fine example for the new or recent inductees.
Symbolic my tax paying arse!!!!! they get the best medical care in the world and many do not live in DC but rent a place in Northern VA or Maryland...they can live in a dump for all I care..they retire on a fat cats wages. Mishandle our money and whine that they need more...bs
Not really - as I watch the actions of the one who wants to lead. We the People doesn’t mean the same to everyone. History repeating itself but too subtle for some to grasp and for some too wrapped up in rhetoric they could give a flip.
Supporting the same guy we want to get rid of and celebrating his victory is seen as a no biggie - all can be said is his supporters were, also, obama supporters. That makes me ready for a 3rd party or it will be ‘write in’ time - and I’m not alone in that thought. The devil in the details exactly in ways more than one.
Cain really is making an impression on folks, and they must be worried. Saw the first link put up by a leftie friend over on FB today - criticizing the 9-9-9 plan (an MSNBC article, IIRC). Anyway, if my friend cares enough to spend time putting up the negative article then I KNOW word is getting out that they ‘have to stop him now’ - which means he’s doing AWESOME! :) Just thought I’d share.
