IF Cain becomes the front-runner the pile-on and tear-down will begin. I don’t think he will fare well.

You’re pushing too hard.

Your Cain on gun control post is a paraphrase of a paraphrase of a snippet of a quote, without the full context of the quote being provided.

The actual snippet is:

““… yes, that (gun legislations) should be a state’s decision.”
June 7, 2011 , An interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer “

Although Cain says he supports the Second Amendment, in the next breath
he says he fully supports any and all state gun control/prohibitions.

Whoa!.....
hadn't heard that gem!

I actually agree with him. And he probably agrees with me that, as is normal, whatever legislation is passed in any state cannot violate the US constitution.

“Cain seriously worried me when he said his choice for vice president would be Mitt Romney”

Come on now, he said that jokingly in rhyming with regard to the titles of his and Romney's economic plans. He then answered seriously that he would choose Gingrich.

“I hate the sales tax, however, it would capture a large amount of people who pay no taxes on income by working under the table, IE ILLEGAL ALLIENS!.”

True, but it also ‘captures’ every dime of SS, dividends from tax free municipal bonds, etc. Then it taxes savings which have have already been taxed by another 9%.

Businesses get to deduct all sorts of things under the 999 plan, but individuals only get to deduct charitable contributions.

It has zero chance of ever passing.

That being said, it is a start. Tax reform is essential. The broadening, fattening, and elimination of the current 70,000 page tax structure would in itself unleash an economic cornucopia of goodness.

Gingrich makes the most sense as VP as he has the experience Cain is lacking.

Only a racist would attack Cain. Shame on you! Sarc.

There have been suspicions in the way Cain wouldn’t in the least criticize Romney that he was, like Bachmann, egged (with whatever motivations Romney’s cash-rich campaign might have offered) into the campaign in an effort to dilute the conservative (and possibly the Palin) vote.

Really neither of them has the credentials to run seriously on his or her own.

Drudge has put the results of the Rasmussen poll up and I think the take away should be not to concentrate on Herman Cain but to look at the trajectory as one sees the sequence of polls beginning on June 24 when Obama was beating Gingrich 48% to 30% right on through to this last poll which he dates at September 26 in which Obama finds his margin reduced to 39% to 34% over Cain.

My take is that one could substitute virtually any Republican wannabe's name in these last few polls and one would obtain substantially the same results because Obama is crashing and whoever Rasmussen puts up against him last is the greatest beneficiary.

It is my hypothesis that the less we have the fear on the issue of electability the wider our scope to nominate a hard conservative. I take this as bad news for Romney, good news for Cain, of course, but also good news for Rick Santorum, Bachmann, and, yes, Newt Gingrich.

I support a flat tax with deductions for only things that have already been taxed, like SS.

>>Again, a lot of the negatives here are from die-hards supporting other candidates in the primary fight.<<

Actually, I couldn’t find even one...do you read or just post your feelings at random?

It’s true when I tell people I like Herman Cain at least half say who is that? When they find out he is a black republican conservative they seem pleased!

Yep, same here... :-)
