Christie will support Romney, I imagine. I am sure Cain's social conservatism will play poorly in NE Republican circles, for the most part. We will see.

I am not in favor of adding a sales tax without removing the income tax. Future politicians long after it is instituted will have yet another lever to inch up every few years. You need to get rid of the income tax entirely and replace it with a sales tax, or just institute a flat income tax.

I’m guessing Christie will endorse Romney, but I’m hoping Sarah endorses Cain.

Why do you believe that Cain’s faith isn’t sincere?

“foreign policy platform?” Cain is one of those LEADERS who KNOWS how to hire the RIGHT people to run his administration, including foreign policy experts....he just hired J D Gordon who was Rumsfeld’s communications guy.....he’ll be getting good advice!

I’m just sick of politicians in general. Cain is a smart, plain spoken conservative. DC is a cesspool, and both parties have contributed to the effluvium. An outsider is exactly what we need. Plus, Obama will have a much harder time playing his stinking race card against a true, fearless black man. If Cain gets the nomination and picks a very strong VP, he will be a juggernaut.

No kidding, in reality you're then stuck with two ever-increasing taxes. Kinda like "trust me, Mr. Reagan, once amnesty is passed we'll work on securing the border."

My impression is that, although he is a smooth talker, he is shallow.

That is the definition of Obama!

He has to be proven a lot worse before I will go with those other clowns.

Cain is the clown in the field, second only to Paul.

. I can’t help wondering about the kind of person who would jump on board and seriously consider Cain as POTUS.

——————————>

I’m a small business owner and I don’t see anything shallow about Cain at all.

He is the only candidate who has developed comprehensive plans for the economy.

He is not a professional politicians.

Have you visited Mr. Cain’s website?

BTW - I’ve made a donation to Herman Cain’s Campaign...I believe in him that much!

Yep, I told my hubby earlier that Cain’s numbers will skyrocket! He was my second choice but I happily support his candidacy now. Not too many of her supporters are going to go for Romney!

Have you read Herman Cain’s 999 plan on his site?

IT DOES ELIMINATE THE INCOME TAX!

Review the whole plan. It made sense to me. My CPA might be too happy.

Why did Cain bring up the issue of a word painted on a rock that had already been painted out? It was a low blow and indicated a mean streak in the man.

What did it have to do with being POTUS?

I’m sorry but I am looking for a candidate who is not mired in pettiness and who has the big picture. Cain has absolutely no experience in governance, no credentials for becoming President and does not concern himself with the weighty issues that confront a President.

Foreign policy is of little concern on today’s FR. It used to be the biggest concern.

Sounds to me like you want more of the same. Perry, Romney, both of them are obama-lite.

Just like the so called tea-partiers who hold up signs at rallies saying, "don't touch my medicare." They are part of the problem, not the solution.

Stop the insults, please. It’s not becoming. If you are supporting another candidate present their strengths!

Romney and Perry “vanilla” politicians, in essence that he is race-baiting?

***

They are very “vanilla” in their establishment-ness.
