What to do about Herman Cain?
This question goes not to the Republican Party, where “establishment” candidates like Mitt Romney privately dismiss Cain as lacking the experience, gravitas and resources to beat President Barack Obama and then to soundly govern the country.
Herman Cain is not going to be the GOP nominee.
Without a serious star-power staff, a ground game, chits to be called in by the candidate or the candidate’s influential network of friends of influence, the “fat cats” sit on their checkbooks until and unless they believe their horse can win. A serious presidential candidate is not one who, like Cain, breaks from campaigning for a book tour timed to coincide with his unlikely quest for the White House.
No, Cain is a clear and present danger to the Democratic Party – and their invaluable near-monolithic black vote. Cain says things like: “African-Americans have been brainwashed” into voting for the Democratic Party; “If you (Wall Street protesters) don’t have a job or you’re not rich, blame yourself”; “People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use racism as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve”; and “I don’t believe racism in this country today holds anybody back in a big way.”

Cain got off the establishment's plantation a long time ago and has made it on his own without handouts. What a success story.
We need someone with his confidence in Washington to restore our basic capital and moral principles.
RAISE CAIN
Raskew, the "establishment" GOP wants a globalist, like Perry or Mitt Romney, not someone that is not part of their "good old boy" network They will pick who they want, regardless of how straw vote polls go…they don't have to regard them!!
Cain as GOP Presidential candidate in 2012 or I'm voting Constitution Party like I did in 2008.
Follow the Constitution by auditing the Fed, bringing the troops home and out of these illigal wars, free Larkin and balance the budget. Ron Paul will do all this, not Cain, Romney, Bachman or anyone else.
Ron Paul 2012
The republicans and Romney have more experience than 90 year old teacher, but the republicans and there elected officials have been screwing up our economy for more than 50 years. Give an outsider a chance to improve the system, who knows, Cain might do a good job running our government like a business rather than a professional politician like the republicans and democrats.
He's just another politician at heart:
You can only say the follwing statements so many times before the American people catch on:
"You've just misunderstood me."
"That's not what I said."
"You misquoted me."
"What I meant was…"
"That was out of context."
"I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about…"
"When I said that, I didn't have all of the information. Now, I have advisors telling me the exact opposite."

Now, what was that you said????
All those quotes are from Cain, he won't audit the Fed but Paul will. He won't bring the troops home but Paul will.
Romney, He brought $50 co-pay abortions to MA and claims to be pro-life. He appointed more homosexuals than republicans. He called himself to the LEFT of Ted Kennedy.
If your for the Constitution there is only one clear choice, Ron Paul
I WOULD VOTE FOR CAIN IN A HEART BEAT OVER MITT ROMNEY. IF ROMNEY RUNS MAYBE JUST MAYBE I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN. SOME OF THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTING AND I CAN NAME SOME. ONE THAT COMES TO MIND IS SNOW FROM MAINE, ANOTHER IS A SENATOR WHO JUST RECENTLY GOT ELECTED FROM MASS. JERRY BROWN, LINDSY GRAHAM. I SURE HOPE THE REPUBLICAN LOOKS AT SOME OF THESE CANIDATES FOR SOME DO NOT HAVE CONSERVATIVE VIEWS. GRAMHAM VOTE FOR SOTO MAYORTA A SUPREME COURT LIBERAL JUSTICE.
Don't be a fool and play into the radiacal left's hands. This will lead to obama's 2nd term as president! This mentality is certain to cause the destruction of the America we know and love. Paul is to radical/isolationist and will never be nominated or elected! Herman Cain or Newt Gingrich is our only chanceof winning 2012!
Cain is a Federal Reserve insider, and will never get my vote. He will do nothing different than the present usurper in the Whitehouse. Stop believing the Medai and GOP establishment, for they are all lying through their teeth. Cain will be the good Uncle Tom they have hired him to be, and we will get more of the same we have had since George Sr. sat in the office. Ron Paul is the only real candidate in this race from any political party. If the voters can not, or refuse to listen and learn, then they deserve this failing nation that we have. This is our last chance to change direction, after this, you will request permission to speak, and then do as you are told.
Looks like you've not read 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' … do you not know that Uncle Tom worked hard to help runaways on the underground railroad and, at the end, as an actual Christ-like Christian allowed himself to be beaten to death to protect a woman slave … I'd like to be considered that honorable, wouldn't ;you?
Sadly, most people–black and white–are clueless about the real Uncle Tom.
Here is the real truth about Cain and the Federal Reserve…
I keep reading negative comments about Herman Cain‘s service to the Federal Reserve and how this one issue is the litmus test for his candidacy. If, during Cain’s tenure with the FR, he was found to be very influential in the banking industry, it could be a litmus test.
However, if you did some research, you would soon discover that Cain was a Class C director and not allowed to deal with the banking industry. Bet you didn’t know there are 3 clases of directors with different and specific duties.
and as such:
cont'd
cont'd
and as such:
Class C
Three Class C directors also represent the public, but are appointed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This adds another layer to the blending of public and private control over the nation’s central bank. The Board of Governors also selects both the chairman and deputy chairman of each regional Federal Reserve Bank’s Board of Directors from among the Class C directors. These directors are highly insulated from banking relationships. They may not be an officer, director or employee of a bank or bank holding company. Additionally, these directors may not own stock in a bank or a bank holding company.
Cain was selected due to his business acumen.
He should know of the workings of the Fed, why won't he audit them?
Follow the Constitution, the Fed is NOT in it.
Ron Paul 2012
In my comments, I was attempting to point out the limitations that Cain had with the banking system while he wasserving as a C Director with the Federal Reserve Bank.Direct comments by Herman Cain 10/11/2011….When I served on the board of the Federal Reserve in the 1990s, we didn’t do any of the things that this Federal Reserve is doing. I don’t agree with the actions of this Federal Reserve. I don’t agree with the actions that have been undertaken by Ben Bernanke. We didn’t have a $14 trillion national debt to prop up with some of the actions that they are taking.And I have also said, to be precise, I do not object to the Federal Reserve being audited. I simply said if someone wants to initiate that option, go right ahead. It doesn’t bother me. So you — I’ve been misrepresented in that regard. I don’t have a problem with the Federal Reserve being audited. It’s simply not my top priority. My top priority is 9-9-9. (Laughter.) Jobs, jobs, jobs! (Applause.)
Cain is right in—and honest enough to publicize—his ideas—
but it is obvious that he is not THE candidate.
Although his rise to fame has been meteoric he just doesn't have enough experience.
He is a very valuable asset to we black Americans as he is honest enough to
bring out our betrayal by obama and his thuggish circlefor they have betrayed us.
If Cain will throw his weight to Ron Paul—who is the only candidate who is proven in all areas—
it will be great.
God Bless him for his candidness—and his defense of black Americans.
A big thanks to him
It is my belief that Herman Cain would come closer to beating obama than any other canidate. Let's play the race card for a minute. You know that it will be brought up by obama if he is running against a white canidate, but this would be very difficult to do against Cain. Cain has much more experience than obama had when he ran. Cain would capture at least one third of the black vote. I don't think there will be as big a turn out among blacks this time for obama, he has done very little for them. I would love for Cain to the nominee. I like Mitt Romney but I do think there are enough bigots to hold his religion against him. Like this so called Baptist preacher Jeffers. Why is he even given any credence on anything? I have as much as he does, why don't they put me on national news. This guy is a ignorant idiot.
And, even though there are other examples I can cite, I will close with just this fundamental one: that is, I need to be reassured that that Cain will (asap) commit himself to doing all in his power to end the ongoing abortion holocaust!
If I am thus reassured, then not only will I drag myself out to vote for him (on account of the fact that … at least he's not Obama), but I will be vigorously supporting him, actively campaigning for him, and backing him all the way to the white house in November 2012!
I like Herman Cain … a lot!
I agree with what he has said (sincerely in my opinion) … so far!
But before I go bonkers over him (which I admit I am tempted to do), I need to be reassured on one or two other issues I haven't heard him articulate.
For example, I sure hope he doesn't agree with Romney; who alleges that not only is global warming 'real', but also that it is somehow caused by 'we the people'!
This (imho) infers that 'we the people' need to suffer the consequences for it and/or even ought to expect to be 'punished' for what we are falsely accused of causing.
How so?
By making us pay through the nose for it … with ever-increasing confiscatory taxes; by killing jobs (that are not 'green'); by forcing us to depend on hostile nations for our supply of oil; by forcing 'we the people' to refrain from drilling for our own oil; by making us more and more dependent on big government controls, less opportunity and freedom, etc., etc.
