Even if you don't like Cain, and I do, it would be great to have him win the primaries just to be able to say "If you vote for the half-black candidate you must be racist".

Nobody by that name.
What on Earth do you think that a high level Business Executive is? It is all about Politics. On an even more intense level than Government, since Corporate Executives are fully accountable for their actions and they are not immune to prosecution. But the same political principles apply.
I wish all of Washington were under the same set of rules as the Corporate World. We would have far less corruption than we do.
Exactly where I’m at. Don’t know about Mr. Cain’s position on the Second Amendment yet but will soon find out.
I'm with you. Let's find out a bit more before jumping off some cliff.
Moving too fast has always been cause to put on the brakes.
Problems/flags include his FED time, and support of the 'Fair Tax', which as written had a bunch of problems, imho.
Has it really come to this? Now we’re bragging that “our” candidate is “all black” while “theirs” is only “half black.” Republicans and conservatives will ALWAYS be called racist. The left is not going to give up a tactic that works so incredibly well for them. No matter how much we grovel, apologize, or vote for candidates who are blacker than their candidates, we’re never going to stop being “racists.” Black conservatives aren’t considered to be “real” blacks, anyway. So why don’t we vote for the best candidate, the one who’s best for the country, instead of swooning over every candidate who’s female and/or nonwhite, just so we can pathetically, uselessly throw the racism and sexism cards back at the left? Stop letting the left set the rules. By swooning over every “diverse” candidate and bragging that “ours are more diverse than yours,” we are agreeing with the left that diversity is all that matters, not the most qualified candidate.
Agreed, and we support them for the right reasons not because they are black or are women.

Dittos that! And frankly, I’d want West on any of the three tickets, I don’t care what slot. All I care is that he’s in charge of national security against our enemies, foreign AND domestic.
Oh yeah. Very happy to see he got the Big Zot right away.
Any of the four will drive the leftists even more batty, if that’s possible. Any of the four would be great for our country.
LOL! Yes and I ask a SANE QUESTION about getting some answers before we back him up then I get accused of being a Ron Paulite.
It’s laughable. maybe if some of these brain dead freepers would do a little research, they would find I am a more of a SHERIFF JOE-ite! Ron Paul is the LAST person I would vote for.
But SIGH, that is why so called conservatives are NOT conservatives at all but only ARM CHAIR WARRIORS!
I like Herman Cain and would happily vote for him if he won the nomination. My personal preference is Michelle Bachmann but she’ll have to face the firing line too. In my opinion, the more conservatives we can get in this race the better.
