Finding a clip on youtube of Cain's participation in the debate was difficult. All were titled Ron Paul. However, the persistent person in me wouldn't give up and I have the 60 minute video. It was late by the time I found it so I haven't seen it yet.
I'm not sure what anyone living in the 'deep south' would have to do with it, as far as not wanting a man with a plan in the Whitehouse. Many who live here now, came from New York and other northern states generations ago and they are still migrating for jobs and better weather.
I liked what I saw and heard from Herman Cain last night in the debates.
Many of the Obama lovers have accused me of being a bigot or racist, which is simply not true.
Ditto everything you just said.
I think we need a man with business experience as POTUS. Especially in these horrible economic times. And Cain is also not part of the current political machine, he is proud of this fact and he should be.
Your second sentence makes you sound like an apologist, and serves the intent of this thread being based on race. Try to keep out of it.
That was the entire point of this thread, I would imagine...why else would Cain be compared with Obama? There is nothing that connects them aside from their race.
His statement does not imply any kind of "religious test."
I'm certain that Cain's point is that if someone is openly Muslim and is vocal about their views/beliefs, that makes him uncomfortable and he would not want to have that person advising him about oh, say, actions to take in regard to the Middle East.
Kinda like how Juan Williams said he's uncomfortable seeing a Muslim in traditional garb on an airplane. Nothing wrong with it, just stating what humans naturally feel.
At least Cain has the balls to be honest about it.
Cain would end the racist cry's of the ignorant left, and he would take more than half of the black vote which obama got for no other reason than being half black.. Had they had a choice between a good black leader or a corrupt socialist POS, obama would be left sucking hinder....!!
He is still an advocate of the Fair Tax, but also likes the flat tax. (http://http://caffeinatedthoughts.com/2011/01/an-interview-with-herman-cain-a-common-sense-solutions-candidate-in-the-2012-presidential-race/ - broken link)

Herman Cain, Republican and potential presidential candidate, has vowed his support to put an end to the federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
I'm sure I could find more, like his radical budget-cutting proposals, but that's a start.
Herman McCain will never be president. Let's just say he has certain "characteristics" that conservatives find objectionable.
Next.
Yes. This is why conservatives were begging Colin Powell to run for president in 1996 and 2000.
They don't want a black guy in office.
