We need to nominate, then elect Herman Cain!

Can anyone give me one good reason we shouldn't?

Cain has a record of results-oriented private sector success in business better than anyone in this race, perhaps one of the best of anyone ever to run for president. He is not a career politician, at a time where the electorate finds both political parties, and politicians in general, unsuitable and unpalatable, this would seem to be exactly what we want. His credentials with business are impeccable compared with Romney, he only lacks experience holding political office. So what? Is there suddenly some prerequisite that one must hold political office to obtain political office? Are we saying that someone who has been corrupted by politics for a certain number of years or terms, is somehow a 'better' choice to serve? The ONLY bad mark Cain gets, is for not having enough experience being a politician... but is that really a 'bad' mark?

Disgruntled Libertarians... Defiant Independents... Disenfranchised Conservative Democrats... If ever there is a hope to bust up the GOP establishment, and elect someone who is truly a conservative and believes in Conservatism over Republicanism, this is your man! If ever there is someone who believes in the Constitution and Constitutional roles of government, etc... here is your candidate! If you are realistic enough to understand we aren't going to see an emerging third party, and if we did, they wouldn't be able to effectively govern with a D/R congress... Cain presents a unique chance to revive the founding principles of government by the people.

Finally, there is the issue of race. May as well talk about it, the left plans to attack with it, so let's face reality on this. If John McCain could have picked up the same percentage of black votes as Bush gained in 2000 and 2004, he would have won the election. Cain offers conservatives a unique chance to articulate conservatism to blacks in America, who may otherwise dismiss what the "republican" had to say. It also completely short-circuits the left-wing "racist" allegations, as Cain is actually MORE African-American than Obama. Taking their Race card is HUGE, it is what they use to bludgeon conservatives with 24/7/365... it is their Shield of Deflection for Obama's trail of failed policies, and by extension, their own policies of Liberalism.

OMG. Where to start? He is a bona fide homophobe and Neanderthal. A misogynist. No foreign policy experience. Never having held a political office before (isn't that the one they used on Barack Obama?). Let's see, if it's Democrats, it's an issue. Republicans, no issue. Hmmmm. He's condescending to blacks. And he's a demagogue.

I find it interesting, that based on your previous racially-charged rhetoric, you're willing to eschew any past grievances concerning race, why?
And how can you determine who and who is not "more African-American", given the history that once upon a time, the "one drop rule" was the law of the land? The fact that Barack Obama had a black parent, makes him as black (in the eyes of whites) as any other, including Herman Cain. He might be viewed with contempt by some blacks for having a white parent and being of "fairer" complexion (and having "good hair")....but by all accounts (including his own) , he's black (African-American).

Obama's failed policies? Sorry, but you can't quite separate them from the failed policies of the Bush administration. If you're given spoiled ground meat to make a hamburger...you can spice it up, and drown in in condiments, but it's still spoiled, and more than likely, will taste bad. And may kill you.
 
It's my understanding that Cain supports making abortion illegal even in the case of rape.

So, he won't be the nominee.
 
1. Because he isn't acceptable to enough of your fellow conservatives, Dixie.

Next case.
 
As usual homo-victim Poet plays the race card. His premise is that Dixie isn't liberal, therefore racist, is as false as his religious beliefs.

Cain's my number one choice right now. The fact that he's not a politician is a benefit in my book. He's got no favors to pay back to anyone for where he is in his career. He's a self-made man, period. Of course he has no foreign policy experience; neither have most candidates for president who come from governorships or haven't been in congress long enough for a handful of committee positions.

He's the only one running for national office who has ever uttered the words that I would if I was running. His stated choice for dealing with broken federal agencies is not to tweak and modify, but to dismantle and throw them out. He's a problem-solver, and brother, we have a problem.

And I predict he'd get less than 10 % of the black vote. And less than 2 % of the gay vote. And I doubt if independents would be swayed away from Obama, in significant numbers.
 
While I disagree with Cain's position on making abortion illegal, I will say that the position he holds re: rape and incest are the only intelectually honest positions the anti-choicers can take. I respect the integrity.
 
Cain will not be the nominee. Im willing to bet if someone comes up with an acceptable bet.

Homo-victim? That's a new one. Did you come up with that one all on your own?
Race card? No. That would be your side, playing a reverse race card...you know, pitting one black against another, all in an effort to benefit, mostly, white people. How ironic. Unprecedented. The "great white hope" , Herman Cain, ironically, a conservative black man, pitted against "hope and change" Obama. One for the books, for sure.
Too bad it won't play out...the tea baggers will have 'second thoughts' about their blind willingness, based on their hatred of Obama, to actually put another black man in the Oval Office. It will dawn on them what they are doing, which is totally against their nature...and at the 11th hour, broken and desperate, they'll vote for Romney, as the only sensible choice, holding their nose. LOL.
 
LOL "gay vote". Like 1% means much.

He'd get a significant number of black voters. They ain't all brainwashed. The Obama got 90% or so. I'll assume 40% of all blacks are going to vote Democrat no matter what, similar to the population at large. That leaves 50% up for grabs. I'll assume 1/2 are brainwashed, so that leaves 25% voting for Cain, plus the 10% that will vote GOP regardless, for a total of 35%, if nominated.
 
So should we nominate and elect a person who advocates a religous litmus test for Judgships and cabinent positions?

Again you bring up some kinky sex act that only liberals knew about until recently, then throw the race card, nearly a whole deck of them. Is that all you've got? :)
