Since no one, NO ONE know much about foreign policy until they become president, Mr. Cain also leads on that subject. He has said no one can answer a specific question about what they would do about this or that without their daily briefings from their ad visors. He is the only one who has said that, and it is true. The man has an enormous amount of common sense.
The rest of them fly by the seat of their pants and jump in to save the day all by themselves! Watch out, folks!
Herman Cain is the only one who is not a self serving career politician in the field , bar none, and he sees clearly but does not use political rhetoric or trite platitudinal fast talk to try to make points. Points, I might add, that too many airheads take for right or real!
To be honest, I'm not altogether that concerned with foreign policy views. I think he could use some work in the area (i'm not a blank check kind of guy), but its really not a big concern to me about Cain. I think in those cases, whom you select to be your team, is the highest priority.
I really don't have a big issue about his experience or lack of it, it would be hypocritical to attack him on it, when, looking across at the other candidates, most of them don't have any either.

I have not a clue what that is in reference too.

I don't have a problem with the rhetoric. What I would like from him, is to answer questions about his job at the NRA in regards to that organizations history with illegal aliens, did they become this way after he left ? were they this way when he was in charge ? How does he feel about their attacks on anti-illegal pols ? What about their attacks in the past on Tom Tancredo ? Obviously the issue of illegals came across this desk, what did he do ?
Since he isn't a "life long politician" and has no political record, we go what we do have, and in this case, he had a job, that was much much more direct in terms of the issue of illegal aliens then any politician.
Herman Cain is not GHW Bus. Bush is a politician of over fifty or sixty years. Read “Family of Secrets”. by Russ Baker. The fascinating book it will tell you a good deal about the Bush family, and how things are done in Washington. The like of which we must discontinue! Washington is so corrupt it will take running all the old timers out of Congress, as well as installing a fine American with the necessary skills to do it. Honesty and integrity. Herman Cain has them! Our country desperately needs them both in Herman Cain.As for questions we would like answers to, it is too bad that we cannot speak directly to the candidates, isn’t it? So we need to put the puzzle together patiently and correctly.
I doubt we will ever have another chance.
(I am not a member of Cain’s campaign. I am strictly a fReeper who happens to understand and agree with this amazing man. And I pray that more voters will see beyond the media’s misrepresenting him, and omitting him. He is still a very strong candidate in the top tier.)
I meant to say that you are a good FReeper. You use your head, and are civil. I appreciate that very much.
Keep in mind, I am honestly not a "cain hater" or someone who wants to tear down a candidate, just to make my own (and I don't really have one yet) look better.
I think Cain has an amazing life story, but it does leave me asking alot of questions.
Something to think about, Cain, cuts his own hair, he has been doing this since he was in the navy when in 1967, a black barbershop refused to cut his hair because of their white clientele, less then 3 decades later, he was the senior economic advisor to the senate majority leader on his white house run.
Think about that, a guy, who came from the worst life could toss him, winds up being the right hand man to the leader of the republican party establishment and its nominee for president, and on the most important category, and he wasn't even an economist. Thats fantastic, but its also something that is so unusual, that it begs for questions, starting with how ? How did a man rise from such humble beginnings, to become chairman of the K.C. board of directors of the federal reserve without ever having even worked in a bank ? (I've read his version of this, if I said it was vague, it would be an understatement). In his defense, Alan Greenspan has praised him and spoke glowingly of him, however, a big problem is, that Alan Greenspan has praised him and spoke glowingly of him (lol).
FWIW, I'm more of a sketic then a hater, and I like alot of things Cain said, but I do have alot of questions, not just about him, but about all the candidates (except Romney and Huntsman, I just want them gone, I don't care about anything else with them).
Have you read “This is Herman Cain?” I enjoyed it very much some months ago when it came out. It is a good read, and I lked Mr. Cain’s candor in writing it. Indeed he has lived the American Dream, and he wants everyone to be able to live it too.
I actually do not recall anything about his working on anyone else’s campaign.
I am not a hater either. I have been interested in politics and in how it affects my country for 60 years. I think it is up to each voter to educate themswelves on all candiates before selecting who to back. I began with Michelle Bachmann at the top of my list, then Rick Santorum, then Herman Cain. But as I got to know them, Herman Cain rose to the top, and there he has remained.
I actually started out on the Michelle Bachman side, I like but am not a solid supporter of Perry and Newt (more or less, interested in them, but many many questions and lots of skepticism), I'm not big on Sanctorum, and while generally not a hater, I'll concede, I do strongly dislike, and am strongly opposed to Romney and Huntsman. I like Cain, but I'm frustrated (not with him), but with others to really delve into him, on a variety of issues and his background. I'm sick of bogus fictional harassement charges, and him being referred to as the "pizza guy". I'm curious about his policy teams, and am trying to get more info on them. I'm wondering if they are folks from the Dole and Kemp camp.
