Herman Cain for president?

Would you vote for Herman Cain for president?

Sorry, but I didn't buy into the smear campaign on Palin. She is a true conservative and a great American, who is quite intelligent. She energized me enough to vote in 2008. Of course I didn't know just how bad Obama would be. I thought he couldn't be much worse than McCain. Anyway, I did vote for McCain, and it was less painful because she was on the ticket.

Sorry but what you said changes nothing, it actually helps support my post even further because you cant even see you are supporting my post :D
 
:shrug: well, I would imagine that while such a poster is correct in their personal life, they would be remiss indeed if they were not willing to enforce the laws of the nation first. Either be willing to enforce the laws of the nation and only the nation, or refuse to take the position - those are the only two legitimate positions.

the problem with comparing the two faiths, is that the founder of Christianity specifically made the point of arguing that government and faith should be seperate, while the founder of Islam made the opposite argument.

It is possible to fully live a Christian faith in a 'Christian' country with an utterly secularist government. the same is not true of Islam - as it is antithetical to the teachings of that faith.

except the fact that everything YOU said is YOUR opinion on the two faiths and nothing more LOL
there are Christians on this very board that want the law in their faith and their faith only as there are Muslims out there that want the freedoms of America and are fine with their religion being just that, theirs for them not thiers to be forced on all.

so again my post stands and shows his reaction was a judgmental stereotypical one that shows clear bias.
 
So answer his question. Can someone swear in on a quran and be trusted to follow American law over sharia law?
As far as having yes men in your cabinet, there are people in Obama's cabinet that he's never even talked to in 2 plus years. He gets his advise from the likes of Union Thug Richard Trumpka and any number of radical czars that hold his same values.
I have no problem with Cain wanting to do the same. He wants to be 100% sure that those he appoints will uphold our laws and Constitution. He wants them to be on the same page he is.

to answer your question the answer would be YES and just like we trust them to hold up AMerican law over christian law.

To act like this isnt a concern for most if not all religions is niave, bias and or bigoted.

Want to see the hard core chrsitians that could not be trusted to support american law? simply visit a abortion, gay equal rights thread or one about musilims vs terroist threads.

Now is that all christians? absolutley not but they are out there and ignoring them while focusing on others is where people have the problem ;)
 
Dayam, talk about being a deer caught in the headlights :roll: Herman Cain didn't even know what the Palestinian Right of Return is ... Chris Wallace had to tell him what it is! And then Cain proceeded to make up a position on the matter on the spot! Haha!!

"The right of return ... ? The right of return ... ???"

 
Sorry, but no.............................
His own people would tear him to shreds as an Uncle Tom. He'd either change completely, or go down in flames. Imagine what the media would do to him.

I dont know that term either
 
The Liberal media would be the first to hang him by his short-hairs. Consider what Chris Matthews would say about him, for example.

I say... let them try, he's excellent at debate.

I say give him a job, in a GOP administration. He'd be great in numerous capacities.

I couldn't agree more. C.M. would serve as a wonderful rug, in front of my fireplace.

Doesn't really change the fact that Cain didn't know what "right of return" was, now does it?

It's all the liberal media's fault though!

Are you running for president?

Better yet, are you going on national television to criticize the President of the United States for his policies on Israel/Palestinians -- only to suffer a "Sarah Palin" moment by getting caught awash in ignorance by not knowing yourself what the policies on Israel/Palestinians are?

How critical is it? Hmmmm? You won't vote for him because he didn't know that?

So what? He knows now. Besides, he was always aware of the issue it describes, in all probability. I appreciated his honesty. I can trust someone like that. Obama would have lied. Cain told the truth.

...Well considering it's a commonly used term in a perennial foreign affairs issue faced by the United States, I'd say it's very critical. At this point, I would not vote for him due to a plethora of reasons, but that particular gaffe doesn't help.

Barack Obama would not have needed to lie, because Barack Obama would have known what "right of return" was. And I, too, appreciate his honesty. Just not his ignorance.

Herman Cain flat out lied. he said:
"The thing that you're going to learn about Herman Cain, if he doesn't know something, he's not going to try and fake it or give an answer that he doesn't know what he's talking about." ~ Herman Cain
Except this past weekend, that's exactly what he did. He was asked a question about something he didn't know anything about and so he tried [badly] to fake it and talk about it as though he did know what he was talking about.

I'm not saying that disqualifies him, if anything it means he's adapting well to being a politician since they all lie. :peace

I don't know that I'd say he "faked" it. I simply think he answered with what he knew the best he could, no matter how poorly it was answered.

That being said, he'll definitely know the answer the next time the question is asked.

.............for asking those tough questions like the one to Palin, what do you read?

The press is just merciless, merciless I tells ya! :sun

No, he completely faked it. He later confessed he didn't understand the Right of Return when Wallace asked him and that he learned about it afterwards. So when he gave the answer he gave on Sunday, he was doing exactly what he claims he doesn't do -- fake it when he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Under most conditions, there is absolutely nothing wrong with not knowing something -- no one knows everything, but in light of it being a question on Israel/Palestinian issues and he was on that show criticizing Obama over Obama's position on Israel/Palestinian issues.

Ouch #1.

But then to say he doesn't fake it when he doesn't know something after he was practically begging Wallace to clue him in on what the Right of Return is so that he could fake an answer is ouch #2.

He is very good at throwing rocks at everybody but when they start throwing back I think he will run into trouble. I also hear he makes a good pizza.........
