Wow, I am impressed Feisty - not derogatory comments

Nice job old girl

"I don’t snuff my own seed"

gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross

Cain simply shows how weak the GOP/TP candidates are. With Palin just two points behind Romney; that could be the contests. Tea Partiers would love to dump Romney. They would support Sarah to do so. Who won the GOP/TP beauty contest? Nobody.

Feisty

Cain/Lowden 2012 - A chicken in every pot delivered, in 30 minutes or less OR it's FREE!

Hey Feisty

Yea, right; in 30 minutes or less OR the right to return the chicken!

LMOA

WALLACE: Where do you stand on the right of return?

CAIN: The right of return? The right of return?

WALLACE: The Palestinian right of return.

CAIN: That is something that should be negotiated. That is something that should be negotiated.

WALLACE: Do you think the Palestinian refugees, the people who were kicked out of the land in 1948, should be able or should have any right to return to Israeli land?

CAIN: Yes. But under -- but not under Palestinian conditions. Yes. They should have a right to come back, if that is a decision that Israel wants to make.

The spread for the entire field looks more like smashed eggs than anything else. The various candidates 9or potential candidaes) are diluting the voter pool amongst themselves.

There's precious little actual differentiation among them, other than personalities and backgrounds. None are really very strong, at least now, and the caucus/primary process may well divide what voter base each attacts to the point of driving backers of losing candidates away.

I don't give Herman Cain much of a chance. His entry into this contest really hurts the GOP, by emphasizing again the somewhat zany character of the entire field and accelerating voter revolt against the right-wing.

Cain still in the race? I thought he went back to school for foreign affair studies. because he didn't impress the last time he was on FAUX NEWS.

CarDog- I cannot believe how racist your comments are. He has done more things in his life than President Obama can possible dream of doing. He is a successful businessman and to say that he is a token because he happens to be an African American conservative. That is beyond offensive. But the liberals hypocrisy is monumental when it comes to race.

And PIus, if you noticed, later in the week Mr. Cain stated that he was caught offguard by the question and then researched it and then knew what it was about. At least he is humble enought to admit that. The current White House occupant would never admit to not knowing something.

Beverly in Chicago wasted no time in insulting Cain, an African American. Racism is only a bad thing when conservatives do it in the eyes of the racist liberal.

Please keep posting Cardog. Will enjoy watching you make a fool of yourself based on your elementary school name calling in lieu of factual comment. I'm not a Tea Party guy, but folks like yourself make them look pretty intelligent.

Rocco

sincerely, there's something bugging you. You sound so defensive of w bush era. do you know something we don't know.......common. reading your posts, so gives you up....uh.

Yay! I got included in the rant against liberals by poor Rocco! ALWAYS glad to know when what I write is that threatening to the "teabaggers"! Thanks, Rocco, you made my day. What is interesting, is Rocco, our holier than thou right winger is insulting to MY friend Navy, a man that put it on the line and served his country with distinction. See, the "teabaggers" view the military as being monolithic (look it up Rocco) and only support them when they spew the right wing garbage that masquerades as thought. So, Rocco, you owe Navy an apology, and another one to all others who serve.

How about Herman Cain, "The corporate-conservative pizza tool". Kinda catchy don't ya think! Looking for a review of any conservative, that happens by.

Wow, Beverly, I thought only conservatives are racists. I truly believed that all libs are fair, tolerant, and inclusive. I'm going to report your racism to Feisty, the leader apparent of this lib site.

ROCCO - So many charges of conspiratorial theories. Yeah, go ahead and blame the left for supposedly starting them, your sources shovel that bull for your side to happily ingest. But really, who's the stupids that clutch and cling to this crap? The answer is looking at you & yours in the mirror, every day. Just use a little soap and a lot of water to remove, said crap, from your eye sockets.

Amused, The birthers contain both parties. As I said , the birthers supporting Hiilary did not go away. The truthers are almost entirely radical liberals so they are the stupids who cling to that crap not me. I think anyone who is a birther or truther is an idiot. Now the hate group the Racers are entirely radical liberals as shown on this website every day. Go ahead and defend the racers. Their hate filled racism has no bounds. Nice reach there New day, you were only included as to your predictability being that of an old dog sleeping and you did not disappoint. But if you want to defend the racers,go right ahead. And refering to Navy as I did is not an insult to the military as you try to spin it. It all about Navy being a racer and if anyone needs to apologize, it is him for his blatant racism.

Re: Ed Schultz

I don't know why MSNBC keeps putting these bombastic left wing ideologues on its station night after night.The ratings are obviosly a clear sign that the public doesn't want what they are offering. It wasn't long ago that Ed was all about civility in the public discourse and then he turns around and makes degrading comments about a woman, merely because he does not like her political outlook. What a sleaze bag hack!!!!

Now they will be attacking Herman Cain with all kinds of sleaze bag tactics, but I guess their favorite tactic, the race card, will not be able to be deployed against Mr Cain. So now the will try to make fun of the fact that he ran a business empire. All I can say is good luck with that tactic, at least he has pratical real world experience, which is a lot more than any one could ever say about Obama. Plus, in a debate, Obama will look like a child against Mr Cain.

@King K -- Are you kidding? I saw Cain on some weekend talk show discussing Israel. He clearly had no idea what he was talking about. Personally, I can't wait for the foreign policy debate. Cain tried to bluff for the particular commentator with whom he was interviewing, who did not ask any follow-up questions, but his lack of knowledge was evident, even so. Debating President Obama on a national stage will be something else entirely.

Democrats won't need the "race" card when they've got the "qualifications" card firmly locked up. Mr. Cain's supposed "real world" experience may equip him to run a pizza business, but it does not equip him in any way for most of the myriad things that a President does every day, which have nothing whatsoever to do with pepperoni or mushrooms and everything to do with the "real" world of foreign policy, wars, economics, education, the environment, health care, Social Security and Medicare, Constitutional law, and a whole host of other things as to which Cain has no experience whatsoever.

p.s. I just looked up, and I noticed that Beverly's post contains the exact exchange that I was referring to. Believe me when I say that Mr. Cain looked as every bit as inexperienced and uninformed as Sarah Palin did when discussing the "Bush Doctrine" with Charles Gibson.

I've already been saying it, "Herman who"

Most of the clowns will leave the car, permanenly, after Nevada.

We'll know who the real candidates are in about 9 months.

Rocco - We can agree that birthers and truthers are a kooky bunch. As for the racers, I think your way out there in space, if you can't see that the hateful racist are far more represented by the forces on the right. In who's party are the old Dixiecrat's residing, here's a hint, which party was the majority when the Dixiecrat's were in control of the South and which party is currently in control of the South? The RNC tried to show a more inclusive face with the election of Michael Steele, but that experiment was short lived. Steele did provide ammunition to his detractors, I grant you that, but the success of the GOP in the 2010 elections, should have in my mind given Steele a pass, since he reined in his mouth quite a bit. That I think would have put the GOP's inclusive foray in a much better light. We have a black president and it was a lot of white & brown liberals & moderates and independents, along with the black vote that secured the POTUS's victory. The Repug's party is mainly a white party with little diversity. I believe they are the party of racist!

And there you have it folks: Rocco, our resident "teabagger" thinks that it is okay to call a retired military man names. Where do the rest of you stand on this?

Racers? Never raced a car or horse in my life...

Rocco the teabagee also, enjoys called women - azz pimples!

What a manly MAN that Rocco is! *insert snark*

He's nothing more than an ordinary keyboard warrior who, in 'real' life, his wife probably wears his b@lls for earrings!

And you folks can always believe what Feisty says. Did she just call somebody else a keyboard warrior? Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaa!

Feisty and Bev must be the same person waiting to get her negative comments posted first and collapsed first. Never do they get banned for even a day.

For sometime they have played the race card and are now complaining about a very smart black man running for president, one who has some real world experience, that doesn't deny his mothers race. He is going after the most articulate and intelligent man in the world, with transparency. The best the left can do is sling mud at him for being smart, successful and honest. His only detriment is that he his a republican which makes him a target for hate by the left. They can't use the typical race bating, although they would like to as that is there usual mantra.

I can only hope he shuts them up, shuts them down. What will they have to say if he gets elected? That republicans are still racists? That he was elected by fools? That he isn't black enough? That he isn't an American?

Maybe they can attack his education in math and computer science. Or that he was a ballistics expert for the Navy Department. Or that he took a company going bankrupt around and made it profitible without a government bailout.

Maybe they can attack him for being a cancer survivor or that he sees himself as an America and not an African American. He is the man. The first black ever to run as president that is not using his race as an issue because he knows that putting African before American is itself racist.

That will hurt the true racists in America and that, along with his being a republican, doesn't sit well with the real racists - those who think race matters in America. It doesn't and the sooner the left learns that fact the sooner racism will end.

Cardog

"Well here's the deal, my friends, when the heat in the kitchen gets to hot and Herman Cain has to actually produce rather then talk a bunch of B/S, he'll be kicked to the curb so fast, we all will be saying Herman who?"

Have you reallgot any freinds? I mean the kind who would take a bullet for you? Didn't think so. Your kind of friends will kick you to the curb once you stopped paying their way. Need examples?

clever on you Groucho!

feisty is far from being quick witted. It's called sarcasm at it's best.

Sarcasm and irony, done quickly, are the essences of quick wit.

Groucho, the difference is that the rolls are reversed. Cain is a good guy. Obama and the dems have run uop the debt far beyond anyone in the past. He also isn't a former lawyer like the current president who ran away because of legal problems. What lawyer voluntarily gives up his law license if he is innocent of pending charges? Never happens. Same goes for Michelle.

It is time for an honest person in the white house. One who is really transparent and not afraid to reveal his past.

Bob, According to the Treasury Department Reagan raised the debt 189% in 8 years, GWB raised it 87%, so far Obama has increased it 37% so what are you talking about?

cardog, he save a company that was going down due to previous poor management. Obama only saved union jobs at the expense of the public and that isn't working out so well. Obama is trying to borrow America out of debt. When you are in debt, do you borrow more or cut back on expenses? If you borrow more because you think someone else will bail you out then you are just like Obama.

The government IS a corporation and it needs to start acting like one. The reason corporations survive is because they cut spending during rough times. America is in a rough time and increasing spending by 1.5 trillion per year is a stupid approach to solving the problem. No corporation that is worthy of surviving does that, but it seems that leftist are willing to freely spending other peoples money (except their own) because they think that will solve the problem. Argentina did the exact same thing nearly a century ago and it destroyed them.

Bob, the federal government is NOT a corporation!!! The object of a corporation is to make profits!!! The object of the government is to make sure the people are safe, and free to pursue life liberty and happiness.

In your response to Cardog talking about how Cain closed restaurants and laid many people off you say the government is a corporation, does that mean you think like Boehner does, that if it loses jobs so be it as long as the republican agenda is enacted?

Can't you just see the campaign? Cain: Of COURSE I have foreign policy experience....I made PIZZA for God's sake!

On the domestic front, he also filed for bankruptcy... lol

Did he really Feisty? I didn't know that. Why does that NOT surprise me?

He's a real Donald Trump wannabe NDD! lol

Then there's this:

Herman Cain, who officially announced his candidacy for President on Saturday, was once the spokesperson for a highly controversial group that, among other things, suggested Democrats wanted to kill “black babies.”

The group, called America’s PAC, spent millions to run advertisments on black radio stations in swing states during the 2004 and 2006 elections. Cain served as a spokesperson for the group and performed voice-over work in many of the ads.

The New York Sun reported on one of the ads that focused on abortion:

“Black babies are terminated at triple the rate of white babies,” a female announcer in one of the ads says, as rain, thunder, and a crying infant are heard in the background. “The Democratic Party supports these abortion laws that are decimating our people, but the individual’s right to life is protected in the Republican platform. Democrats say they want our vote. Why don’t they want our lives?“

Another similar ad featured Herman Cain’s voice:

“If you make a little mistake with one of your ‘hos,’ you’ll want to dispose of that problem tout suite, no questions asked,” one of the men says.

“That’s too cold. I don’t snuff my own seed,” the other replies.

http://thinkprogress.org/2011/05/24/herman-cain-led-radical-group-that-accused-democrats-of-wanting-to-kill-black-babies/

As opposed to the egotist we elected in 2008? No experience but hey "if you don't vote for me you are a racist" Obama?

Heck, a real 'Godfather' my take exception to Mr. Cains claim of being a pizza baron!

Those Godfathers pizzas are the absolute worst.....made on the cheap...strange cheese and little meat!

strange cheese

I thought the same thing - cheap imitation plastic cheese!

It's certainly, 'NACHO' cheese...

Well, Feisty, your source isn't exactly a main stream news outlet. "Think Progress" is a far, far left organization hell bent on destroying Capitalism, Republicans and ultimately Freedom. They are looking for a nanny state where everything and I do mean everything is run by the Federal government. Good luck with that!!!

What is it with YOU people?

You can defend that he said it so, instead attack the source... *yawn*

I'm moving on now before I doze off! ;o)

Gee Feisty, Cain's foreign policy experience is about the same as Obama's was in 2008, and you voted for him!

Not so, spider. Jay Rockefeller, head of the intelligence committee, stated that Obama was one of the few senators that he knew who actually had read the super secret intelligence documents and was familiar with the issues.

I don't think that qualification applies to Mr. Cain.

For all his purported lack of experience, Obama was against the Iraq was from the beginning, proposed a timeline for withdrawal that was agreed to by the Iraqi leadership, which Bush then adopted almost exactly, and favored concentrating more on Pakistan, the wisdom of which has recently been borne out. He made the right call on the pirate situation in the Indian Ocean, as he did on Osama bin Laden. All of his decisions have proven correct. I'll take his study and proven judgment, any day, over bluster and ill-informed braggadoccio of the type I saw from Cain on the Sunday talk shows.

newdayDAWNING10

"Can't you just see the campaign? Cain: Of COURSE I have foreign policy experience....I made PIZZA for God's sake!"

Tell us what foreign policy experince Obama had before elected. Let me help you: none.

Tell us what foreign policies are Obama endorcing: destroying our allies.

Tell us why Obama is no longer licensed to practice lawand tell me why Michelle isn't either.

You voted for quacks.

Ah, isn't that cute, poor bobby only listens to the nonsense from Fox "news".

I never pay attention to Faux news, Do you? What crap do you listen to?

Bob: if you want to know why President Obama and Mrs. Obama are no longer licensed, look it up on the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission website. You can look them up by name. I think you will find that they have retired from the practice of law, i.e. they have voluntarily decided that they will not be practicing law in the furture. I don't know of one President or first lady who activly practices law while living in the White House or any former Presidents or First Ladies who practice after they leave.

Simply by asking the question, without doing your own research, indicates that you must think that there is somethig wrong with someone who gives up a professional license. Are you now or have you ever had a professional license ? Have you given it up ? Do you plan to in the future ? Why ?

Hey, don't knock it, whambam. He presents you with yet another opportunity to spew your juvenile, pointless vitriol!

The Republican field of candidates gets stranger by the day.

It's almost as if they don't want to run a credible candidate, or any credible candidate doesn't want to enter the fray. Afraid of the Teabaggers, disclosure, or whatever!

They don't chilled because they KNOW they can't beat President Obama. Americans are waking up to the Republicans destroying America with the extension of food stamps, no jobs, no regulations, Eric Cantor defending speculators for high oil prices, no extended unemployment benefits, wanting to destroy Medicare(now with co-pays), Medicaid, SS. and the middle class just to gain the White house.

Eric cantor told oil speculator in Chicago Republicans would do everything to help the speculators.

The GOP/TP is in such a turmoil....they aren't even trying to enter the race for 2012......Maybe by 2016 they will be better positioned at least with a viable candidate.

2012......they should forget it.......I think they already have.

Crazies on the right wing are driving the GOP/TP into oblivion!

And are you going to pay for the crushing, ever-growing cost of Medicare, Cardog?

And, by the way, if you like Obama so much, you might want to learn how to spell his first name!

"The Republican field of candidates gets stranger by the day."

Actually, the dem last choice was as strange as it gets. They voted for a guy with no experience running anything, who claimed he would be transparent, hid his birth certificate for over 2 years, won't release his college records and has surraounded himself with tax cheats (who said they forgot) and socialists who think the constitution doesn't apply to them and you thin the republican candidates are strange. When are you going to use the race card on Cain after electing a half white president that won't acknowlege his mother. according to his own words?

You have obviously never read his books.

Gary, this mythologizing of business executives by the right-wing belongs in the world of romance novels.

The hardest working, and most competent people I have met, were middle managers, self-employed craftspeople, teachers or farmers. The very brightest people I have met were in the healthcare field.

Most millionaires I know either a) inherited their fortunes b) stole their fortunes or c) married their fortunes. If you know differently, do speak up.

If you know differently, do speak up.

You don't get around very much. This man worked his way up, without the benefit of having used his race to get him everything he has.

Herman Cain grew up in Georgia with wonderful parents and little else. Cain's father worked three jobs because he wanted his family to have more opportunity. As a result of his dad's encouragement, Cain earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Morehouse College in 1967. He earned a master's degree from Purdue University while working as a mathematician for the Department of the Navy. Upon graduation, he worked as a business analyst for The Coca-Cola Company. In 1968, he married Gloria Etchison; they have two grown children and one grandchild.

In 1977, Cain joined The Pillsbury Company at age 31. Within three years, he rose to the position of Vice President of Corporate Systems and Services. He resigned his senior position in 1982 to begin work at Pillsbury's Burger King Division. Using his business experience, Cain worked his way up in the organization, even flipping burgers on the grill to better understand every aspect of the industry. Nine months later, he was managing 400 Burger King units in the Philadelphia region, the company's poorest performer. Within three years, his region ranked number one.

In 1986, Cain was appointed president of then financially troubled Godfather's Pizza, Inc. chain. In 14 months, the chain regained profitability and in 1988, he led his executive team in a buyout of the company from Pillsbury.

Cain was elected to the Board of Directors of the National Restaurant Association (NRA) in 1988. While serving as Chairman, he developed the organization into a pro-business voice through national debates and speeches concerning healthcare reform, employment policies and taxation. Following this experience, he was appointed to serve on the Economic Growth and Tax Reform Commission. He then became a senior advisor to the 1996 Dole/Kemp presidential campaign.

While continuing as President and Chairman of Godfather's Pizza, Inc., Cain became a national keynote speaker. Using his powerful messages as the foundation, Cain created a leadership firm and he has authored three books on topics ranging from leadership to self-empowerment. In 2002, he became an Executive Lecturer for the Gallup Organization.

In 1996, Cain was elected CEO and president of the National Restaurant Association. Cain leveraged his restaurant experience with the technology market when he became CEO and president of RetailDNA, a software technology company, in 1999. Despite his global industry reach, Cain devotes time and energy to his family and indulges his passion for music and golf. Now former Chairman of the Board of Godfather's Pizza, Cain is still on the Boards of Directors of various companies. Cain also serves as an associate minister of Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta.

Amy,

You are ignorant and prejudiced against wealth and financial success. Most businessmen earn their way to the top through hard work and consumate people skills. Motivating and directing people is an essential art that the mundane and ignorant do not usually understand. Their organizational and time management skills are also frequently far beyond what craftsmen, tradesmen, and middle level managers have mastered. Boards of directors pay top dollar to get the best managers because they save the jobs and incomes of those who do the mundane tasks in the organization below them. These are the same management skills that serve top level managers in government as well. You are just another of those deluded socialist in Oregon that continue to hold Oregon back despite incredible natural resource wealth and natural beauty.

SHAME ON YOU, GARY!!!

Amy is from Maine, not Oregon!!! Learn to read!!!

If Amy was from Oregon, she would have access to Chocodiles!!!

And now comes Gary Root, who tries to insult our friend Amy, not even recognizing that there might be more than one Portland, even though Amy tells him in her title. Good defense of the rich, Gary, never ceases to amaze me how people ignore that current malaise that Wall Street caused. But, God forbid we should point it out.

Exactly how many millionaires do you know personally, Amy B? If it's so easy to become one, why don't you do it?

Steven B - What a wonderful and inspiring story you have provided on Herman Cain. The fact of the matter is this, he might make a good cabinet secretary. The Federal, or for that matter any, government is not a business. There is no profit motive involved in running a government. Co-managing a budget by getting input from many and varied parties is the job of chief executive and Congress. Because the bottom line isn't to show a surplus, it is incumbent on the executive and Congress to allocate resources to address the problems of their countrymen. Leadership qualities of running a successful business, in no way automatically equates, to running a successful country. An inspirational ability, methodical reasoning, a core sense of fairness for all, the ability to make hard decisions if the hard data doesn't ensure success and just plain luck are a few qualities that make for successful presidents. There is no way at this time to be able to tell if Cain has many of those qualities. He has a compelling story, but will that translate to capturing the Repub's Pres. nomination? The jury is still out. Cain has the right to run but that doesn't translate to the right to claim his party's nomination at this time.

Gary: There are only four people in the world with as much "real experience" being President of the United States of America as President Barack H. Obama. Three of the four are Constitutionally prohibited from running for the office again, and President George H.W. Bush won't run.

So tell me again, who has more experience as President, Herman Cain or President Barack H. Obama? And yet, you would prefer an inexperienced "pizza man" to the President of the United States to be the leader of the free world.

Herman Cain brought Godfathers back to profitability by shutting down many locations. He also introduced a few new menu items and up dated their delivery operation. While it's good that he was able to bring the company back from bankruptcy, what he did doesn't take a rocket scientist. It's pretty much business 101. If conservatives think that a small pizza business can compare to the US economy, they need to have their heads examined. Cain would be reliant on the same people Obama has to answer to on the economy. To think he is going to have some magic formula to save the economy is just plain ridiculous.

Dirp, so Obama will be our last President? He may very well be if he doesn't address this country's problems. What we're looking for is someone who will address our problems without chasing all those with deeper pockets out of the country. Watch out, their will be a major backlash when the Democrats have nobody left to take money from to pay for the handouts they've bought votes with for decades. As it is, less than half of us pay any taxes at all. Where is the Democrats' deficit reduction plan? Currently, the Democratic leadership is missing in action on that very important issue.

D-nice, comparing Obama to Cain regarding anything to do with business is ridiculous. And to say what Cain did for the pizza company doesn't take rocket science leads me to believe you have no idea of what that entails. How many companies have you and our President saved from extinction? Let's not count those that were saved with US taxpayer dollars. That isn't an option for the vast majority of business people.

The left is still listening to the teleprompter. The man in the white house has nothing to say except that which other tel him to say while having no original thoughts.

DBO, I 'd go with the St. Paulie girl myself:)

Herman Cain has been around a lot longer than the whelp in the White House.

And, he's actually worked for a living too!

Riiiiiight. Guess he he could just respond to everything with . I read everything in front of me" LMAO Now a debate between Cain and bible Spice, that would be hysterical and entertaining.

mikek: I'm one of your liberals. I have nothing against Herman Cain. I just have no idea who he is or what his positions are on any of the issues. It is unfortunate that he will get lost in the crowd.

I have no doubt he is likely an articulate, intelligent person, you don't grow a large business organization without those qualities.

What continues to amaze me is why any intelligent person (at all) would be a Republican :D

Simple dirp, the Republicans are the only alternative to the decline of this country that continues under the current liberal Democrat leadership. Nothing there to be amazed about.

Rio-lover: Cain would "SPANK Obama's Semitic-ARAB butt!"

RIO-lover: Great post... and I know what you mean.

"Technically" since our "community dis-organizer" is 6.25% Black, so he does "qualify to SAY he IS Black. BUT HE has NO RIGHT to EVER be referred to as "African-American" because that is not true and our "community organizer" aka Obama, is absolutely, positively NOT AFRICAN-AMERICAN.

How or why ANYONE EVER refers to him as African-American is just STRANGE and makes NO sense. Sure, I understand "some people" do inter-change the terms, but that is NO EXCUSE for the "so called journalists" who keep repeating the LIE.

Herman Cain would be "America's First African-American President".

How do you come up with the 6.25%. Father- from Kenya (that's in Africa) mother from Kansas (that's in America) thus President Obama is "African-American", do you understand ?

And Speedy, has Herman Cain produced his "long form birth certificate" to prove he would be "America's First African-American President" or was that really just a racist ploy ?

RIO & Speedy - Gee, I think having a black father, who was born in Africa, would qualify our POTUS, to be in fact, an African-American. Of course, our POTUS self-identified himself as African-American on his census form, a copy of it can be found on the web. And lastly, do both of you really think your eyes are lying to you. Now be good boys and go make up more lies about our POTUS being a foreign born citizen or have you come to your senses on that subject. LOL!

They liked Condi Rice and Colin Powell pretty well. The loony left called them "Plantation errr, pizzas".

Yep they are real solid that is why you have never seen either one of them ever campaign for any republican since they left office, not an op-ed, nothing, maybe distance makes the heart grow fonder, but it does not seem so. BTW neither of them were eleceted to anything, ever.

It's called "being respectful of the current administration and minding your own business".

Something Democrats are terrible at. Look at that loudmouth Carter. What a disgrace. He's an embarrassment to every POTUS before or since.

Nonetheless, I notice you do not deny my assertion about the derogatory comments made by liberals and democrats about Rice and Powell.

I personally have never mentioned them in any post until today. The derogatory comments probably stem from the fact that they were both complicit in the mushroom cloud, weapons of mass destruction, we must invade Iraq debacle, not to mention that 3000 + Americans were murdered on THEIR watch. You get blamed for stuff when your the top military man, and the SOS of the USA.

Nice try Forrest, the derogatory words were because they were African American Republicans and you know it.

They don't speak derogatory words about Obama, or will you say just half the time because he is half black. Nice try but it is all about performance, and telling the truth. They don't speak that way about all the other black republicans.

they were both complicit in the mushroom cloud, weapons of mass destruction

One sided memory loss?

http://www.davidstuff.com/political/wmdquotes.htm

LOL, I can read Wikipedia and campaign literature too. Here's a few things you left out.

The reason that his Burger King region went from least profitable to most profitable in 3 years is because he closed all of the unprofitable stores and fired a bunch of people. Nothing more. He didn't have the business talent, leadership skills or intelligence to actually create or grow anything, or actually turn around the business, he just shut the unprofitable part of it down.

Same thing at Godfather's Pizza - all he did was close the unprofitable stores, leaving it with stores that were already profitable. Did same store sales increase under Herman? NO. Did he grow the chain? NO.

Yes, and let's look at his record at the National Restaurant Association. Once again, all we see Cain doing is trying to screw over the poor and middle class. Fighting against minimum wage increases, fighting against restaurants having to provide benefits. Fighting against nutrition disclosure laws, fighting against FDA regulations to make restaurant food safe.

Yes, he's the real thing - his nickname is right on - the Herminator, which he coined. Because all he knows how to do is terminate people.

Back in 2005 he spoke at Sodexo's mangement conference when he was running for Senate. An hour of the most arrogant conceit I have ever heard. We all left the room shaking our heads at the absolute lack of any humility he displayed - never once did he give any credit to anyone. Just look at his recent stint on Fox News, talking about himself in the third person like he was God or something. This is not a man who has even the remotest sense of what it is to serve others - he would be a complete and utter failure as president.

Speedy and Bob: Thanks for the information (and opinons)

I now know more about Herman Cain and will be able to judge him more critacally than before.

Has Mr. Cain stated he is in support of the Paul Ryan plan to gut Medicare/Medicaid and other domestic programs ?

And Obama is handing out exemptions to Obamacare to anyone with a check made out to the DNC.

I refer you to that bastion of right-wing propaganda, USA Today.

WOW! Bob - did you or someone in your family work for Burger King or Godfather's Pizza? You sound extremely bitter...not so much in defense of Mr. Cain, I would simply say that from my own personal experience with both of those fast food chains, the food wasn't great...maybe they didn't have enough business to make it worth keeping the stores open.

No, not bitter. No one I know works for either chain. And, you make my point precisely. Instead of actually doing something about the food, or the stores, or the marketing or anything else, all he did was shut the stores. So shutting stores and firing people is the definition of business success?

So if he was currently President and the hunt for Osama bin Laden wasn't going well back in 2010, I guess he would have shut it down and fired Seal Team 6. I guess he would have shut down GM and fired everyone, and so we wouldn't have given GM the chance to make a comeback and we wouldn't have 2,500 works in Michigan going back to work next month due to the success of the new Chevy Malibu.

It's not leadership, it's not success and he's not presidential material.

I'm sorry you can't have an original thought of your own. But what company was it back in 2005? My company is Sodexo, headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD. You can call them and verify Herman Cain was a speaker at the management conference.

And of course you can find literally dozens of instances every day where President Obama has praised and given tribute to the success of our military men and women, the people at FEMA working to help those devastated by the tornados, etc. You don't see him fraudulently putting on a flight suit that he didn't earn and declaring mission accomplished or claiming that he is responsible our successes. It takes a real leader to go about getting the job done and serving others. Herman Cain knows nothing about either of these concepts.

nice plagiarism jim. but then again, it's expected from you. original thoughts aren't your cup of tea.
