Herman McCain will never be president. Let's just say he has certain "characteristics" that conservatives find objectionable.

Next.

However, I did see this:

YouTube - Herman Cain Wins the South Carolina GOP/ FOX News Presidential Debate

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.

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.

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.

What I do know is that earlier this year he publicly stated that if he were president he would not appoint Muslims to the Cabinet or a federal judgeship.

In case you're wondering, this position violates the Constitution.
From your link: 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.

Do you have a link for this?

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....!!

I'm sure I could find more, like his radical budget-cutting proposals, but that's a start.

How is any of this radical or extreme?

I think the Obama people despise Cain.

Look how they treat other minorites and woman that don't think exactly as they do.

Just goes to prove that Democrats are the most racist, anti-woman, hateful people on the planet.

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.
