Cain is a nice guy, but Palin is better. If they run together, they will win.
 
I'm curious about Daniels. I lived in Indiana in '06...the state's a world away from Texas in terms of the general personality and way of life even though both are fairly conservative in many ways. I know Indiana was hit very, very hard by the recession, so I imagine he has had quite a challenging run up there.

Awesome! Thank you Mark Davis for having him on.
The more Cain talks the more I love him, if that's even possible. :)

I'm going to try to use this thread to keep current with Cain's opinions etc.
Here's something I just found.



Cain Slams Obama for Bringing 'Poisonous' Rapper to White House

Well based on this alone no vote. Any politician that is this dramatic, out of touch, bias and this blindly partisan would never get my vote. Politicians like this are part of today's problems, not solutions. Said thing is the majority seem to be this way:(
 
Herman Cain is just another cookie cutter Republican who has no idea of liberty and a limited government.
 
Been listening to TV. Fox, MSNBC. The media is still trying to pick our nominee for us. Romney, Christie, Hunstman. {{Yawn}}
Funny, none of them are even in the race yet. It was Daniels, but now he's out.
Anyway Cain is going to be on Hannity tonight. They can't totally ignore him. That would look too weird.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to it.
 
Wyoming doesn't hold primaries and our candidate selection takes place after it has already been settled by the other States. I've represented my county at Wyoming's Democratic convention, but I sincerely doubt that the GOP would allow me the same honor.

I will be watching him with great interest, however.
 
Which primaries, not everyone has them.
 
No. Why?
1. He supported TARP.
2. He flip flopped on auditing the Fed, and likely wont confront the problem it poses.
3. He has never held public office, and has little political experience. Didn't we criticize Obama for that?
4. His foreign policy is: "I don't know the facts, so I wont tell you."

He is one of the better ones (most are RINOs) but I would vote for Ron Paul. Paul has consistency with his free market beliefs, and the record to prove it. Plus, polls show he has a greater chance of beating Obama. Who knows what Cain will actually do when given power. Yes, he is a successful business man. But that does not mean he will govern according to the constitution. I don't like having no way of knowing.

Hard to say until the primaries play out and get to see them in action a bit.

I like a lot of what he says, but one of my big issues with Barack Obama was his lack of relevant job related experience. I think Cain has less than even Obama did . Its hard for me to justify throwing my vote behind someone with so little actual experience garding the government and the executive branch of it.

We have had lots of experienced politicians over the course of time.
Are you really so impressed with the results?

It is so hard to know what a candidate will actually be like in office.

Campaigning is the easy part. Do we not hear the same rhetoric every four years regardless who is in office? Everybody wants to help out the working man and everyone wants to make America number one again. I can sound pretty good too but doubt I would be effective in an elected office.

Not having any elected government experience it allows him to throw rocks at other's records but he remains teflon. Give him four years in office and I think he would have a lot of targets on him to throw rocks at.

He is a gamble but every candidate is. But to all giddy over him is immature.

At least with experienced politicians you get somewhat a glance in how much they suck up to their lobbyist and cronies. With a total green candidate one is clueless how corrupt they are.

But you just said..
"It is so hard to know what a candidate will actually be like in office."

So what difference does it make?

Herman Cain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seems he has a lot of executive experience.

Executive experience running businesses, trade organizations, and lobby groups. That's only slightly better than people trying to say that the executive experience of Obama being a Community Organizer was his "executive" experience.

I'm speaking with regards to a government sense. Mayor. Governor. President. Something where he's had to serve as an executive over a form of government. To me, his business executive experience is similar to how I view someone who served in the house...its helpful experience, but its not directly correlating experience.

Even in the business world, I wouldn't say someone who was president of a non-profit focused on Resturants would be greatly experienced to be the CEO of say Hewlett Packard or GM. While it speaks to some of the skills he may have, the realities of what the jobs focus, duties, and responsabilities are may be significantly different.

He's never had experience running any kind of government entity...not an executive branch agency, not an actual executive branch, nothing. He's got little to no legislative experience. For all the talk that went on about Obama, if Obama was a "rookie" then Cain's not even in Triple A yet.

I admit, I like his business experience, but we're talking about running the most powerful country in the world not a regional pizza chain.
 
The idea of making someone president who hasn't ever held any political office doesn't sit well with me. As far as I can tell some conservatives have found a guy that represents a conservative version of what they think of Obama and are rallying behind him. No experience, good talker, great at talking points, has no idea on policy etc...

Sorry but being the head of a large chain of burger kings and godfather pizzas would give you next to nothing as far as political insight goes.

not to mention his lack of knowledge.

I like Herman Cain, mostly for local reasons, but as far as politics go Gary Johnson is more likely to fit me politically.

same here.
 
Herman Cain will be on Becks radio show in a few minutes. About time! he said he's going to ask him some tough questions.

He turned both of them around in short order. He can do the same for the country. He's a smart, focused man and he knows how to lead.

You'd vote for "blame America first" and "I wouldn't have killed Bin laden like that" Ron Paul, before you'd vote for Herman Cain? :(
