Cain discusses his position in the polls, illegal immigration, and the release of his 999 movie
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
He needs a thought that doesn’t include any 9’s.......
It’s become meaningless.
If we don’t want Mitt Romney (and eventually Obama), we better hope so.
That's his problem. Cain is a one trick pony. He used 999 and his motivational speaking skills to bluff his way this far, but he simply doesn't understand the issues very well. Once he has to venture away from 999 it exposes his policy ignorance and people move away from him.
"I've got all this stuff twirling around in my head" and "we need a leader, not a reader" are simply not sufficient answers to policy questions.
Pinganator!
999 the MOVIE!

Latest Poll Averages- Iowa Republican Caucus (IA - Cain 22%, Romney 17%, Gingrich 16%)

He would be completely unknown, as he would be at the mercy of his advisors, given he acts like he doesn’t care to study the issues. INCREDIBLE arrogance, IMO, for someone to run for Prez and not even try to learn the issues.
I certainly pray that he can. Teh last thing we need is insiders slippery Newt. Those insiders, including pundits, love Newt becaue he is one of them, they hate the idea of an outsider breaking thru the ranks and actually changing the way business is done in DC.
Cain thought he could get by with his motivational speaking skills alone. He gambled that he really didn't need to understand policy. And hey, for some folks that is good enough. Never mind that Cain clearly has no grasp of most of the issues he'd have to deal with as President. For many people, ignorance now makes one an authentic conservative.
I am still supporting Mr. Herman Cain. I will not allow a SRM/dnc/GOP Establishment initiated smear campaign sway my thinking.
No, he Cain’t....
Cain is a phony who is bluffing us. Perhaps a Cain supporter can explain to a dufus, like I, the difference between profiling and “targeted identification”. http://isearch.avg.com/search?cid={ae157968-1a6d-45fc-a3f5-c18da78d43d4}&mid=2b7deab70c8130c446a46b72b3fceebe-9c44491d38cff258efd08874e83314cc390e2ef0&ds=AVG&lang=en&v=8.0.0.40&pr=fr&d=2011-10-01%2021%3A36%3A08&sap=dsp&q=Cain%2C+profiling%2C+targeted+identification
Can you tell me the difference between profiling and “targeted identification”?
Yeah I think there are some surprises waiting for when the actual voting starts.
The media sells their manure to the simpletons but real tea party types aren’t easily fooled.
“Here’s his 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”

Hahahahaha.....He continues to make confusing statements on policy (such as his new stances that immigration should be left to states) and idiotic videos like this one (http://youtu.be/jneGy5tz3Io).
What come back.
I love Herman but its starting to look a lot like Newt. Momentum is the key factor this close to the first three primaries. As long as its not Mitt.
Baloney. Cain has said he is learning foreign policy. All he has said is he doesn’t need to know EVERYTHING about foreign policy.
He is well versed on many issues, anyone who takes the time to look past the smears - they will see that.

He also waffles on abortion, TARP and gun rights and these are his own words. http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/do-we-really-know-who-herman-cain-is/
Nope...
To sit there and say Cain doesn’t understand the issues, as some posters say, is simply ridiculous. He gives great answers most of the time. He has had some bad moments, too.
As an outsider, this is the criticism he would need to overcome to be a viable candidate. As a political newcomer, he simply has to show a level of competence on both domestic and foreign issues that would allow people to be comfortable with his entering the White House. No one has even a sliver of the competence on the issues as Newt. The next tier are probably Santorum, Bachmann and Paul, as they have had their hands in the day to day Federal government decision-making. None of the governors have a high level of experience with many of the policy areas of the federal government, although they do have significant executive political experience that lends important skills to get things done in DC, and do deal with some of the policies on the state level and in dealing with Federal mandates and programs.
