Please look closely. I believe Herman Cain supported TARP and does not support an audit of the FED. He was Kansas Fed Chairman.
The DC Establishment is always looking to keep the Black Man down.
Oh look – a Paulette.
There was nothing wrong with the original intent and scope of TARP. The problem was that when the next *cough* President took over, tarp was bastardized into a vehicle for government takeover and control of private businesses, including those that had nothing to do with the financial institutions Tarp was originally intended for.
So, what did he do wrong as state fed chairman? You Paulettes are always whining about that – yet you NEVER mention any specific malfeasance.
If it turns out that he was running it properly, with a different ideology than, say, Bernanke…. won't you feel stupid?
well, probably not…
He did support the tarp. You will have to go a long ways to find a candidate who didn't and has a real chance of winning. Also, he was in the Fed for two years and then Chairman for two years. It was the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. I believe he said he would not oppose an audit. You have to take everything about a candidate and weigh every thing.
I think all these questions will arise in the next debate. At the end of the day, we will get a good look at all these candidates, and have to make a choice. What is really important in 2012 is to drive as many democrats from congress as possible.
he says he supports ron paul in auditing and limiting the fed, said it before the debates on a video about that topic as soon as it was an issue. i think hes upfront and honest about how he feels. different from the current leadership.
Cain/Bachman? Yes or no? It's lookin like them or Romney. What do people think?
I like Cain, having listened to his show from Atlanta on occasion. He seems more on the fiscal conservative/pro business side and I find that refreshing after the last 2 and a half years of "tax and regulate". I too, would like to hear what he has to say on the Federal Reserve.
"There was nothing wrong with the original intent and scope of TARP…"
I might have to disagree with you there. TARP was a pretty by-the-book Keynesian Intervention in the Market. Identifying myself as a Capitalist, I disagree that the government has that responsibility.
The problem is, it was government intervention, throught the CRA/redlinning/Fannie/Freddie boondoggle, that lead to the boom/bust in the first place.
So is it a good idea for government to bail out the private sector from a mess the government created?
Asking it to myself that way, i've got to say no, TARP was not an appropriate response to the crash of '08. Get out of the people's way, and let the FREE market resurect itself.
You're right to say look closely. America swept in a novice that we did not study adequatley once before.
However, simply being a member of the FED is not enough to disqualify. If anything, it gives him excellent credentials for dealing with the looming inflation crisis vis-a-vis QE2, as he would have extensive experience in monetary policy.
I am an AUDIT the FED Tea Partier, not an abolish the FED.
Wow, are you calling me a name? TARP was totally wrong from the beginning, there is no way government should ever bailout any business using taxpayer monies. I didn't say he did anything wrong as Fed chairman, but the fact that he was is often overlooked in coverage. I don't intend to trash Herman Cain, just point out the facts. He was Chairman and Member of the Board of Directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He does not want to audit the Fed to see where the money goes. He was for TARP before he was against it and Cain is one of 13 U.S. business members who belong to the powerful North American Competitive Council. The council is part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) that was established by the American, Canadian and Mexican government at the June 2006 Trilaterial meeting in Cancun, Mexico.
Don't fall for the smear campaign against Herman Cain. He's more than capable of explaining his position on TARP and his record with the Fed. His presence in the primary campaign along with Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin can only help the Conservative cause. Obama's record will do him in unless he's up against some milquetoast RINO too "polite" to call him out for the complete failure of his presidency in dealing with the economy, national security and the disaster that is ObamaCare.
Then he has truely become a politician and changed his position because in Jan he said there was no need to audit the Fed. There is a youtube video
Just want the facts out before the election, like to make up my mind based on facts.
What I believe is important in 2012 is to look closely at all the candidates, get the facts, find principled people who are consistant in their views and don't flip-flop over poll numbers.
Ron Paul did not vote for TARP.
H. Cain is exactly the kind of voice that needs to be heard in this election.
Clear, straight, truth just got in the fight.
Let the chips fall, RINO's be damned.
Is Herman Cain going to FIX Glass-Steagall?
Everyone with their issues in a bunch should STOP and take the moment to understand it. Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform (hats off Brother…AWESOME WORK!!!!!) will give you a foundation for critical thinking if you aren't sure how destructive.
“I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the Bank…You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out and, by the Eternal, I will rout you out.” – Andrew Jackson
We want the next Andrew Jackson. With all due respect to Ronald Reagan, the battle is against the "vipers and thieves" versus the other viper and thieves.
BELIEVE ME. FIXING Glass-Steagall is THE ONLY issue that matters. Do you think the Banksters give a flying fig about your job?
Is Herman Cain going to FIX Glass-Steagall? I could give a rats *** about what he looks like.
I'm not looking for a job but I would be honored to work for his prosperity.
But if Mr. Cain doesn't see what I see then God help us.
Even though he'll never win the nomination I hope people listen to his support of a FairTax of 23%.
If this is our MAN……………we need to start piling up the cash behind him.
It's going to take a billion dollars…………….at least.
Or as those criminals on capitol hill call it……………….."walking around money."
That's how much our government burns through in about 8 hours and 20 minutes.
Mr Cain had better put a stop to it………….
I know that Ron Paul did not vote for the Tarp. I believe in most of what Ron Paul says and stands for. I just do not think he can govern this country effectively. I also do not think he can win the nomination. Of all the candidates I see now, I believe Cain is the best.
I am looking forward to the upcoming debate in the June and the ones to follow. I think it will become even more clear to the voters that he is the one.
Going nowhere…
Just a fact…
I like him just fine from what little I have heard…
Anybody but Obama…
I want Sarah…
Herman Cain is a stand up fellow. I'm waiting to see what Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin are going to decide, but whomever does throw into throw into the race, we really have to do our homework. The era of media choosing our candidates based on what THEY report should be over. The internet is a fine tool if you use it to investigate the candidates.
I don't believe it is the presidents job to "govern" us. I do hope the next president will be able to lead and tell us the truth. I am so tired of republicans and democrats, neither party wants anything power. I hope we can take our country back and I think the only canidate that understands the problem and has worked for decades to wake Americans up to the problem is Ron Paul. He has my vote and support.
I agree with much you have said.
The problem is you are not looking closely at your own choice for POTUS and examining all of his positions. Such as his foreign policy and Osama Bin Laden positions.
You need to remove the plank from your own eye before tellling others to remove splinters from thiers.
Be well.
He KNOWS all about 'working from the bottom up'…something Obama NEVER cared to, or had to do!!! As long as he calls Obama out on everything unAmerican that Obama has done, he has my vote! He didn't talk the talk, and then wuss out like Trump did, and I don't see him as hating 'white America' like Obama….
What I love about Ron Paul's position is that it has not changed and no mater what the political consequenses he stated it plainly. This impressed me and sealed my vote for him.
He is the best of the current field of declared candidates. He seems to not be a RINO, but I want to know more.
Bachmann has my support for now, Allen West is my dream candidate.
I understand what you're saying. We have to do our homework! Cain was great in the debate and, at least until Allen West joins the race, he seems to be the best choice. But he is also the least known. So let's ask the tough questions. More importantly, let's get answers to the tough questions.
Agreed, Ron Paul has not changed his positions.
He is possibly the best candidate in the world for Sec of Treasury, not for POTUS.
You are only looking at one or a few of his positions, and not all of them.
Your blind faith in Ron Paul is no better than that of those idiots who will vote for Obama again…
Examine ALL of his positions sir.
Of all years, 2012 Ron Paul is Perot II.
Or possibly he did a little research and changed his mind? It's a tough call, is he thoughtful and flexible, or is he a politician who changes positions with every new poll?
I just don't trust Romney, mainly because of Romneycare. He seems to be the choice of the party, which is another strike in my book. Just a younger version of McCain. My hope is that Allen West will be convinced to run. He would be a candidate we could get excited about. What the republicans can't do is choose a candidate simply because he's "electable." Of the current choices, mine so far is Cain.
Party-pooper!
Happy con-TRAILS!!!
; )
Wish I could give you ten thumbs up! You know, Reid is calling for tax reform in return for spending cuts. Does anyone have the cajones to respond by introducing the Fair Tax? Close those loopholes, right Senator Reid?
Dont count on Congressman West this time around. There are electoral deadlines approaching and he has not taken any steps twoard forming a campaign infastructure.
I also admire Congressman West, but belive that he would do better to serve in Congress, then the Senate when he has the oppurtunity, and run for President in 2020. Assuming we're still around by then, heh heh heh….(nervous)
Oh well, I voted for Perot too….lol. Sorry, I only vote for people I believe in. I have taken the time to examine Ron Paul's positions, have been studing them since 2009. I absolutly find him refreshing. I also agree with almost all his positions. So in spite of all the pundits and talking heads telling me he can not win I will support him in every way I can.
I hear you. I think Romney's a suit. He flip-flopped on abortion, and as for Romney care, kindly do not give me the Federalist argument- for a true Conservative, socialism is not good on a state level, federal level, or dogcatcher level. He has just shown too much wilingness to compromise when faced with adversity and he has caved to the liberal base in Massachusets- how will he hold up under the intense, dishonest, and partisan scrutiny of the nationwide MSM 24 hr news cycle.
I agree that we need a strong Conservative, unashamed of being a Conservative, and articulate and quick-witted enough to adequatley defend Conservativism for the middle-of-the-road 20%.
In other words, all we need is Reagan!
Of course, as the Great One, Mark Levin said, I'll vote for an Orange juice can before I vote for Obama.
See, I have watched the debate several times and never saw Mr Cain give one straight answer. Just platitudes and generalities. I like specifics. Hard during a debate but need better answers.
Agree all around.
He would be chewed up in any foreign policy debate.
People need to come around to the fact that Sarah Palin is it.
If we want it, we can make it so. I have no doubts.
WEST 2012!!!
He's the REAL DEAL!!!
Happy Trails, DM!
; )
Just like mcPain failed to call him out in 08..
Can't be squishy with slime like oCommie..
Netanyahu took it too him and he can't stand the heat..
Gets pissy like a two year old..
Agree Joe, NO doubts… and it's time to begin fighting back against those who spew out the meme,
"she's unelectable"( like a bad case of Montezuma's revenge), every time her name comes up.
GO SARAH, 2012!!! She has the FIRE!!! LMAO, watch lil o fumble and stumble trying to take her out.
That would be a show worth tuning in for… and she CAN raise the money… Who else in the (R)
field can.
Happy Trails!!!
; )
I'm sorry, but Cain just doesn't have it for me. When I watched him yesterday give his speech about running for President, I only saw the "Preacher" of yore in 2008. Looks to me like Cain is trying to emulate Obama circa 2008.
Now give America Allen West; a man I can truly support.
If the Republicans don't run Allen West; Obama wins. Independents/Tea party and some Republicans are already behind Allen West trying to encourage him to run.
Allen West/Michelle Bachmann
or
Allen West/Paul Ryan
Herman Cain will be the next President of the United States. He is a proven leader and has demonstrated repeatedly his ability to turn around failing organizations. Obama, our Campaigner in Chief / Reader in Chief, has certainly made sure the U.S. is a failing organization. None of the other candidates in either party have Herman's combination of leadership skills, experience [real world as opposed to politics], intellect, communications skills, integrity, and guts.
Hey lady!
Yeah – the fear that the dims and their lefty accomplices in the MSM have poisoned the water is still there.
It was true, back in '08.
But they overplayed their hand – badly, and now it's obvious to everyone that they are merely peeing in their own pool.
The blue dye is swirling all around them. They are too close to see it, while everyone standing on the deck is going, "WTF – can't they at least smell themselves???"
Cain is the guy, the racist C-Span call in this morning proved it to me.
It was 45 minutes worth of highly racially charged attacks and the radical left program callers and "concern trolls" ran the table beginning to end pretending to be both sides.
The left is very afraid of Cain, much more so than any of the other potential candidates.
The left always attacks the candidate they fear and they always clam up on the ones they think they can beat.
HITM 2012!!!
Only thing is, Ross Perot was a stalking horse for Bill Clinton and always WAS so. In the years prior to the 1992 elections, Perot was a frequent visitor with the Clintons for dinner in Little Rock–a fact that the MSM has conveniently kept hidden. Perot HATED Bush Sr. for cancelling a billion-dollar computer system his company had contracted with the DoD. His SOLE reason for running was to deny Bush a second term. If Paul runs as an independent, all he'll do is guarantee Obama a second term too and he SHOULD know it if he's even 10% as smart as the Ronulans seem to believe him to be.
I did not know that about Perot. Ron Paul did not run as an independant last time although I could not support McCain even with Sarah Palin who I believe he tried to ruin. I refuse to vote for people I can't belive in and can't see any difference in the parties on most issues. Only Ron Paul talks about monetary policy and how we accually got into this debt mess.
At this point, I believe a chimpanzee could do a better job!
I have no problem with Mr. Cain and could support him without much problem, but I believe that the utter disaster that is Obama MAY taint the pool for other black candidates for some time to come…as unfair as that may seem to be. There are lots of people who voted for Obama ONLY because he was a black man and he's turned out to be simply awful. Those unthinking voters (and it's a pretty large pool of people) will be gunshy about supporting another black candidate for awhile, regardless of how good a President they might be. It's stupid and unfair, but that's the way I'm reading a lot of the "moderates" or "independents"…those that allow the MSM and entertainment industry to shape their opinions about folks.
It's a little early in the race for me to pick a winner, or to even really get behind someone. However, there are a couple I won't get behind.
Mitt, nice guy, smart guy, but we don't need a RINO. Sorry Mitt, it's not your time.
Newt. I like listening to Newt, but Newt as the nominee? No way. ANd all it takes is one gaff like the comments on the Ryan budget during to real campaign and it's all over. Sorry Newt, but go away.
Herman, keep it up. I don't know where he'll end up in this thing, but at this point he is talking a good game. Keep it up and we'll see what happens.
So how are the Dems, MSM, etc. going to spin hating a black man? Remember you can't even mildly disagree with Obama unless you are a racist or now a "coded" racist. I'm sure they are working overtime on it right now at OFA. The trolls should be here soon with the new spin. I say we just reply with "you hate Cain because he's black and you are a racist, period."
No, Paul did NOT run as an independent, but he'll NEVER get the nomination from the GOP. There are too many people who believe his libertarianism is a little bit nutty. If he wants to run, he'll HAVE to run as an independent–or as some other 3rd party candidate. He'll NOT be the GOP nominee.
My sentiments exactly.
Good grief. We have plenty of time to "look closely" . Right now, I'm just happy that some good people are expanding the Republican field.
Cain sounds good to me.
Romney is McCain.
What is Glass-Steagall?
Breitbart has said it before
Cain/West That would be the ticket
Cain/Bachmann would be good too
But Palin /West would be the best.
No RINOs, Don't make me hold my nose in the voting both again.
He is running now and I will vote for him because to me the nutty thing would be to vote for more of the same. And if enough people vote for him in the primary he will be the GOP nominee. And he has polled as the best chance of any GOP prospect to beat Obama, he will have my vote.
Yes, I hope we do better than last time.
Just had this vision of a secret service agent making an emergency run for extra underwear.
The SPP membership bothers me as much as the TARP support and the not auditing the Fed part, but they are all troubling. Enough that Palin is still on top for me.
Let's see. You have a man who stated he would follow a religious litmus test in making appointments in direct contradiction to the Constitution and is against abortion, even in the cases of rape and incest. Good luck. You will need it.
I really like Gov Palin, but she has been through a lot. I hope she will support Ron Paul as she did back in 2008 before McCain choose her as VP and let the press destroy her.
This self made man is the real deal…great news for America.
<DIV>Then, by all means, vote for the man you think will win. All I'm saying is that he has NO CHANCE of being the GOP nominee and is likely to run as an “Independent” or other third-party candidate when he fails to become the nominee–which MAY throw the election to Obama…which would be a disaster for America. Am I a “died-in-the-wool” Republican? In no way, shape or form. I am a conservative first and a registered Republican second…but ONLY because this is essentially a two-party country and the next President WILL be either a Republican or a Democrat and we KNOW who the Democrat nominee will inevitably be. I dislikethe GOP “elites”…the “establishment” types who are just Democrat-lite, just as enamoured with political power as they are, but the ONLY way to fix the system is to effect change WITHIN the GOP, by poking a finger in the eye of those same “elites” and nominating a candidate who will adhere to the Constitution and conservative principles. A “third party” just gives elections to Democrats, most of whom are mindless automatons who would vote for a yellow dog if it ran as a Democrat.</DIV> <DIV style=”FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt”> <DIV style=”FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt”>
We'll see.
Make me a racist? You are a moron. I simply pointed out Herman Cain announced HE would follow a religious litmus test.
Perfect is the enemy of the good.
Levin's got a great idea. We could recycle all those "Run, Juice, Run" signs.
My, my Husk you are touchy this AM. I thought this is the game as it was established by your side, if one criticizes Barry, therefore by extension, you are a racist.
Missy, you know that I really like Cain. But I have to say that he has some real weak areas. He was just on Fox News Sunday. I watched (as much as I don't like Chris Wallace) and he was asked about Ubama's speech on the Middle East. He took a good stance, but when Chris asked him about the "right of return," he didn't have any idea what that meant. Chris explained that meant the "Palestinian right of return." Cain still didn't get it. He actually said "Sure, they should have the right to return."
It looked pretty clear that he had no grip on the subject. If you didn't see the appearance, it'll be on a couple more times today. I'd like to hear your opinion on the interview.
please explain
I will vote for the person I believe is right and will do all I can to help him win. There really is no reason to believe he can not win as he is the best candidate the republicans have and the only one who can beat Obama. Polled almost even with Obama in Rasmussen a year ago and closes to Obama in CNN earlier this month.
Oh, Bo is definitely racist.
Coffee-hued is ok for dems – but dark brown/black?
Forget it.
And that accent! My God – talk about your "Negro dialects".
Harry Reid's wondering "Why the hell is this Negro trying to sound like James Carville? Must be trying to pass."
And Urkel's noddin' his head, going "you got it, brutha Reid!"
I caught that as well.
That was his Palin deer in the headlights moment. We might as well be objective here, and discuss it rationally, because you know come Monday morning, that is all the MSM is going to be talking about.
There was a pregnant pause, while Chris Wallace asked him again.
The he lobbed a softball at him.
Granted, I don't expect everyone to know everything, and sometimes, things are lost in the set up of a question. I do think Cain did a good job with the interview.
Keeping Muslims out of Government is an ideological litmus test, not a religious one. I wish people would stop referring to Islam as a religion when the context is politics. Islam want's to change the constitution by getting Muslims in government. Therefore its as valid as choosing not to appoint Marxists.
Herman Cain is not perfect, no one is. However, if we are looking for someone who can solve problems, and fix things, Herman Cain fits this bill very nicely. Once you audit the fed, then what?
It really is shocking to see so many ready to jump on the Cain bandwagon. The guy was chair for the friggin federal reserve. Before you shout me down, I am NOT A RON PAUL supporter either. I just dont think it is a good idea to have an Ex FED Chair in the white house. I am a STAUNCH supporter of LT COL ALLEN WEST, IMO he is the only one worth looking at, and he is not running unfortunately. Go ahead and let me have it. Cain SAYS a lot of good stuff, but I am not ready to drink the fair tax " hope and change" kool-aid. Anyone that is firmly grounded in reality knows the crooks at the fed are not about to emancipate their slaves. I dont think having a Bernanke or Geithner in the white house is that great of an idea.
HA! Classic!
I saw the interview, Cain was forthright and I think it was a positive trip up for him.
Something I've known for a long time about Cain is that he is a doer, when he finds a need for improvement in anything he does he gets on it.
I think the soundbite will make its way around the talking head circuit in a hurry as a negative narrative but it is not the campaign buster the left hopes it will be.
The difference between O and Cain on foreign policy and everything else is that O has a canned "focus group" response for everything and Cain takes each topic as they come with the knowledge he has in hand.
This isn't a negative for Cain, in fact it shows he's not going to play Mr Know-It-All the way everyone else is bending over backwards to do.
Cain knows economics, business, mathematics, science and broadcasting and he's not afraid to admit that he would rely heavily on surrounding himself with the right people to tackle the issues he isn't experienced in.
Chairman O markets himself as the messianic "guru" on every topic and that is a very big weakness, especially since he consistently proves himself to be nothing more than a rank amateur at so many things.
Cain doesn't speak in all knowing professorial tones on every topic under the sun, he speaks America's language and that is a net positive in the end.
Just playing by the progressive rules. You can't have it both ways. If I'm a racist for disagreeing with Obama's policy, that makes you a racist for disagreeing with Cain's policies.
I agree with you 150% I am picking up on the same thing. I think people are only looking at what they want to look at with CAIN, and totally ignoring the fact he was a CHAIR AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE. Sorry but that is a deal breaker for me. The idea of a fair tax sounds good, but that is like believing in Santa Claus. IT AINT GOING TO HAPPEN.
So what do people think about Romney for president? I am personally against him, but am eager to hear out any supporters with an open and honest mind.
I'd say it looks like Cain/Bachman or Bachman/Cain gets my vote, as it stands today.
Please, Rick Perry! Please get in the race!
But I know you won't. You're too smart to let O run against W again like he did in '08.
We bring our troops home, take care of the people here and start weaning them off the warfare/welfare state. Start living within our means, get rid of bloated departments and cabinet positions. Balance the budget and start paying down the debt. A president who will protect our constitution. At least it won't be the same ol same ol.
Sad to say, but it's pretty spot on.
Not that that means you get away with it anyway. If being correct was enough to convince people, we'd be living in a capatalist paradise with no war anywhere right now.
Just not gonna happen like that.
Paul has no chance with Republicans because he blames the Islamic problem on our foreign policy. While most of us can appreciate the isolationist position of no foreign aid, etc., to blame their ire, printed in their holy book, on OUR behavior is ludicrous, and hows a deep seated hatred of Israel and all that goes with it.—
If I'm not mistaken, the original intent of TARP was not to bail out banks and insurance companies that were too big to fail. The original intent was to use the money to buy "toxic assets," namely, mortgages for properties that were worth less then the loan value and on which the mortgagee had defaulted. The government created the mess in the first place as you rightly point out, thus, the government should be responsible for correcting its error. If that pain is ultimately felt by the taxpayers, both and present and future, then those voting taxpayers should be more vigilant about what its elected officials are doing and correct the problems at the voting booth. This should most particularly happen at the Primary voting booth, or even sooner by encouraging strong conservatives to run in the first place.
Yeah, on the overall, I think he did well with the interview. But I have to say that when a candidate is asked a question on anything that's fairly central, I expect them to have a better answer than I could give. At least as well informed, even if I disagree.
Just one moment like that answer Cain gave could sink a candidacy, particularly through the media echo chamber.
I really like Ron Paul's view of the Fed, but unfortunately, that's pretty much where it ends. He probably has a few other positions that I support, but on the whole, he is sorely lacking a full set of values that true conservatives agree with. To single out these two points about Cain without balancing them with all of the other positive aspects he has is to do him a disservice. I'm not saying these things didn't need to be brought forth, but they could have been qualified by stating that these are the only things you found offensive about his record. No candidate is going to be perfect on all scores, but Mr. Cain comes darn close. A lot closer than most of the rest of the prospects.
Your attempt to assassinate his candidacy gives me hope that he is being viewed as a real contender. Thank you for that.
The NACC membership has been debunked taking him out of any SPP connection by this route. CEOs are on the panel (NACC) he was not the CEO at Westinghouse. Correct me if this is wrong.
Islamofascism is still fascism…just a religious variation of suppression of people…
People should be recognizing its more a governance system than a religion anymore…
You are dreaming, looks. He will NEVER get the GOP nomination…not in 2012 or any time afterwards. Neither would he win the election if, by some strange event, he WERE to become the GOP nominee. He has too much screwy baggage that's well-known. The only reason the Democrats aren't hammering on him today is because they KNOW he represents no real threat to them. If you want to know who they really FEAR, look at who they are constantly villifying….and it ISN'T Ron Paul.
If you're SO set on a Libertarian, you should vote for Johnson…
He'll let you keep your money AND your dope…
And he has a tried and proven fiscal ability…
You do not believe that our foreign policy is partly to blame? Please look at the difference between isolationist and non-interventionist. A few radical people would have a very difficult time spreading hate if our foreign policy did not give them so much ammunition. I do not believe Ron Paul hates Israel, or anyone else.
Well, you certainly don't have to sell me on a comparison to Ubama. I'd support almost anyone over that freak.
But that wasn't my point. What I saw in that moment reminded me too much of Palin's answer to the "Bush Doctrine" question. And the media will be out for blood in this election looking for anything to discredit Ubama's opponent.
So, it's not that I don't like Cain. I would vote for him in a heartbeat. But just for comparison, replay that interview in your mind and imagine that it was Allen West answering the questions. I know, he's not running, but if we don't have someone of that caliber on the ticket, we are going to have a tough time defeating the lying, cheating, despicable scoundrel that's currently in the White House.
Bachmann, Cain, Paul, Palin, all Tea Party approved !!!!
Pawlenty, Newt, and the rest of the rinos are out.
I like Herman Cains energy and am not trying to assassinate anyone, being a basically non violent Ron Paul supporter. Ron Paul because he has a record I can trust. Please enlighten me to Herman Cain's positive aspects, because auditing the Fed and ending the country's addiction to Kaynesian economics is what I see as the beginning of solving our economic problems. All the rest is window dressing because we are broke and the dollar is failing.
At least he did it without a teleprompter!
Yeah, it's both, but the concept of overthrowing whatever government is in place and ruling by Sharia law should have made it illegal here, I can't for the life of me figure out why they haven't.—
Agreed. I hope Sarah runs too.
She is Ron Reagan in terms of fiscal, foreign AND social policy. 71% of the candidates she stumped for won and that is comparable to the landslide victory of Reagan in 1984. I also like that fact that she is a Bible believing Christian.
