You seem to confuse the GOP--a national party organization--with the ideals and principles that lovers of Liberty hold dear. If I enter a city looking for good pizza, and find only poorly made pizza (say, Godfathers), it doesn't mean I'm against pizza. It just means there isn't any good pizza to be found.

Apparently, you can't handle that. You'd talk yourself into believing bad pizza is good. How this helps anyone is beyond me. It's seems like just an inability to face facts.

The GOP clearly lacks executive talent. Hell, the only actual executives in the field are Romney, Huntsman, and Perry. You're impressed?

Huck, I was very excited about President Reagan before he was a front runner. I see a lot of the same optimism, charisma and folksy wisdom in Mr. Cain. He is a self-made man who has risen to the top. He achieved his dreams. He is a shining example for others, especially those who have lost their confidence in the United States of America. He is not a power hungry fool like Obama.

Your smarmy, lying attacks here are highly offensive. I think that we have a very good field of candidates this year. I will be glad to support any one of them in the general ellection against Obama. If you don't have anything constructive to offer... you are helping the other side. You are merely a tool for the other side.

You don't belong in this forum. This forum is for people who believe in this country and want to make it a better place for our children and grandchildren. You are using it in a destructive way, trying to tear down our candidates. I hope and pray that your efforts will win you some scrutiny from one of the administrators. If they take a look at your large volume of disgusting disruptive nasty posts they most likely will zot you back to where you came from.

“Hell, the only actual executives in the field are Romney, Huntsman, and Perry.”

Herman Cain’s bio:
Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
Master’s degree in Computer Science.
Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).
All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!

Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.

Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.

In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.

He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.
Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!

Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.

Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.

After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!
Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.

Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).

He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.
