I'm for Ron Paul. If he drops out, I may consider Cain. I just hope it's not Romney at the finish. I'd have to vote for him against Obama though.

I posted a link where that came from. I quoted my alloted three. You'll have to actually go to the work of reading it.

My point was, you're being a fake. You will never vote for a republican, so your questions aren't sincere, they're trollish. As long as a pol has a (D) after his name, he's got your blind allegiance. You don't really care what HC stands for because he has an (R) after his name, therefore he is the enemy.
I had no idea only a candidate's/office holder's supporters were allowed to post on him/her! I guess that means all the "bash Obama" threads were started and perpetuated by Obama supporters?

In addition to everything else, your post makes ass*umptions about me that are unwarranted, but I have a policy of my own of not responding to snark, so you'll never hear when I last voted for a Republican, which was probably more recently than you ever voted for a Democrat.

Herman Cain can capitalize on this ignorance by pushing his "9 9 9" in a fashion similar to Obama's "Hope" and "Change." Which do you think will resonate more with voters this time around?
The current tax code is so convoluted who could possibly begin to understand it? I don't think it's wrong (or ignorant) for voters to want a tax structure that they can actually understand.

One thing, while I think everyone should pay the same tax across the board, it surely would put a whole lot of accounts out of work if that were the case.

It has never taken me more than 15 minutes total to prepare both my state and federal tax returns. It's not rocket science, you know.

It can get complicated for the average person, too. Ex: short sales/foreclosures, cashing in 401ks before retirement age, etc.

Let see Cain goes to Israel 2 days before the straw Poll.
Says during the florida debate "If you mess with Israel, you are messing with the United States of America."

Then he wins the straw poll in Florida hmmmm suddenly is now a top contender.

I think you are trying to be sarcastic. That, or draw, what is a loose connection at best to hisIsrael trip. His win of the Florida Straw Poll, as well as the The National Federation of Republican Women Straw Pollis largely attributed to his participating (where Romney and Perry did not), his being likeable to Republicans at least, and down to earth approach to things. I really don't hink there is any hiddent meaning and connection as you draw it.
