Cain discusses his position in the polls, illegal immigration, and the release of his 999 movie
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
It worked for Obama.....
999 is inter-related. One step at a time is the best approach. Cain has turned around failing businesses; the national economy needs the same approach. The economy needs to be fixed, then everything will follow.
CAIN/2012
Excellent bio. And, that is why it is so sad to see himself look like a fool on public policy issues. Time and again. He should go back to private sector or try to become a politician on a smaller stage.
I'll take Cain's grasp of the issues anytime.
Single payer mandate: Cain = NO, Romney = YES, Gingrich = YES>
Amnesty for illegal aliens: Cain = NO, Romney = YES, Gingrich = YES
Spending taxpayer money on global warming: Cain = NO, Romney = ?, Gingrich = YES
Cain not only understands the issues, unlike the other two top tier candidates, he holds the correct, conservative position on them.
I also continue to support Cain. Noot and the rest are Washington insiders and will give America a wink and a nod as they continue the same old thing in Washington
So far Cain is still a better option than Romney or Gingrich, IMHO.
ou apparently are only listening to sound bites rather than full interviews and speeches. I am still for Cain.
He never said all of the immigration should be left to the states. Empowering the states is part of his FOUR POINT plan, which he has been promoting since day one:
Cain’s plan:
Secure the border, enforce the laws on the books, promote the path to citizenship (starting with coming here legally) AND empower the states what the Federal government can’t do.
Sure, sure...
Let me ask you this - if Mr. Cain is so smart and capable, how come he doesn’t have a government job?
Lord knows the government always keeps an eye out for smart people!
My support for Herman cain never dwindled.
The basis for my support is his honest and decency, not because he’s a policy wonk or an intellectual.
Nothing has changed, and I won’t be voting for anyone else.
Cain has always said that handling illegal immigration should be handled by the states. Contrast that with Newt’s blanket amnesty plan.
Newt is being pushed by the lame stream media and the GOP checked pants crowd. When Chuckie Schumer and B J Clinton like Newtie for prez then I say NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Cain has my vote in March along with my families vote. Allowing a few states to go first is a severe injustice.
It doesn’t matter whether it is the majic exlixor to cure all ills, it does NOT communicate a message that resonates with the voters.
It is not a substitute for thinking on his feet and providing substantive answers to questions.
It is NOT a foreign policy response!
Having watched the two man debate/conversation - it was clear that Newt and Herman would be a perfect team in the WH.
Herman and Newt bring so many strengths to a broken Nation. Brains, mutual respect, optimism, redemption, faith, practicality, vision, experience, success,failures, lessons learned and love of the Constitution.
EDITORIAL: Cain’s foreign policy

FOREIGN POLICY
“My foreign policy is an extension of the Reagan philosophy. My philosophy is peace through strength and clarity. We must clarify who our friends are; clarify who are enemies are; and stop giving money to our enemies. We need to tell the rest of the world who our friends are and that we stand with our friends... If you mess with Israel, you mess with the United States of America.” - Herman Cain

______________
From Herman Cain’s website:
The primary duty of the President of the United States is to protect our people. In fact, it is the principal duty of a limited federal government. They must ensure that our military and all of our security agencies are strong and capable.
Unfortunately, national security has become far too politicized with our elected officials using the issue as a means to polarize our country as the “war hawks” and the “peace doves.” In response, the safety and morale of our brave men and women in uniform are often at risk for political gain. The judgment of our military experts on the ground is often underutilized in exchange for political purposes. National security isn’t about politics. It’s about defending America.
While diplomacy is a critical tool in solving the complex security issues we face, it must never compromise military might. Because we are such a free and prosperous people, we are the envy of the world. Many regimes seek to destroy us because they are threatened by our ideals, and they resent our prosperity. We must acknowledge the real and present danger that terrorist nations and organizations pose to our country’s future.
Further, we must stand by our friends and we must not be fooled by our enemies. We should never be deceived by terrorists. They only have one objective, namely, to kill all of us. We must always remain vigilant in dealing with adversaries.
We must support our military with the best training, equipment, technology and infrastructure necessary to keep them in a position to win. We must also provide our men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families with the benefits they deserve for their tremendous sacrifice. These heroes have served us. We must never forget to serve them.

Cain’s Foreign Policy Team

I’m voting for Cain for one central reason - He brought companies back from the brink and he’ll try to do the same with the government.
He also does not care about the meaningless machinations of political wonkish speak, he thinks big picture.
I think the problem with him is that his staff tries to limit his opining in order to keep him away from gotcha moments. I don’t want him to triangulate and circumlocute like Obama. I want concise, to the point answers that Obama does not know how to provide.
I agree.
Yeah, he be a real dummy, don’t he?
/s
Cain is a bright, successful businessman.
That doesn’t confer Presidential breadth on the man.
He simply doesn’t have answers for critical questions.
“I’ll consult the experts” doesn’t cut it!
The GOP won’t nominate “hope & change”!
