Many of us went through this with Gov. Palin. As the left/MSM continue the hatchet job on Mr. Cain, the more I’m inclined to support him. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
As a Clarence Thomas constitutional conservative, Mr. Cain in 8 years would undercut the foundation of LBJ’s welfare state and be an effective antidote to the left/media propaganda based on racism/sexism that pervades virtually EVERY policy debate. We will get no real change so long as the “Big Lie” is unchallenged- and Establishment Pubs, concerned only with survival in their private fiefdoms, will never challenge it.
In that sense, Mr. Cain’s value is not just winning in 2012- his value is 8 years of a conservative Black American undoing a dynamic that has perennially paralyzed the Republican Party on all levels of government.
I agree with those who say there may be a better “candidates-”— but I don’t believe there is one that can better serve the ends of constitutional conservatives than the redoubtable Cain.
Instead of tearing him down- conservatives should be building him up-— his value to constitutional conservatism may well be transformational.
Cain might be better in the VP slot because were the GOP nominee to win, he could gain experience for the top slot and be put to work reforming the bureaucracy.
He’s not experienced enough to be president.
I like the guy on a personal level having spoken with him 1-on-1, but he’s not ready.
He has a lot of support here! He’s only made rookie mistakes on his own. The other slams were media lies and smears, but he seems to have over ome that.
He really has to do some cramming to better himself on foreign policy if he’s going to debate the Marxist.
Perry and Newt said they would strengthen if they knew what was in it FIRST...Time for this feeble reporter to whine about them too.
Why doesn’t the WSJ endorse the pro-amnesty pro-mandate influence peddler and get it over with, enough with the pretense.
