so you have a problem with oaths????
I do when you single out a certain group of people, as Cain is. What if Cain said he wants Whites to take an anti racism oath, would you be ok with that. Of course it will never happen.

Cain is not retarded. Hes actually a VERY smart man.

He knows he has no chance of winning.

However he DOES have a radio show and his run for president is bringing him tons of viewers and Ad revenue.

So he is taking the Rush Limbaugh/Sara Palin path to fame by saying totally outlandish things knowing that this will bring him National media attention.

If hes lucky he will end up with a show on FOX taking about how Blacks and Muslims are destroying America while dodging the "racist" charge by saying hes black.

Jesse Ventura has his faults but I have to say that I'm inclined to agree with him on this one. I have no proof, so I'm open to correction, but it IS worth thinking over. Even if the chummy part isn't true, being told what to do by the same group of people is NOT difficult to believe in the slightest.

Obviously. There's been no real difference in terms of national outcomes between Republican and Democratic politicians for decades now... The only differences are the stupid mess that the media focuses on. that a self-proclaimed "educated" country is so ignorant of the reality that the media spoon-feeds them what it wants them to hear and vehemently blackballs any reporters/journalists who bring different points of view to the table is somewhat appalling but not surprising.

He'll be laughing all the way to the bank, with the money from the teabagging fools who took him serious.

The only problem I see with him getting a show is that he lacks charisma, but then again so does Huckabee.

Both you and Cain are operating under the idea that its common knowledge that most Muslims report to a hive agency that conspires against America. If you actually believe that, then you should realize that America would be LONG GONE if there were ever a network of that scale working against us.

This is no different than when the government called the Black Panther movement - and by extension working class blacks - "the greatest threat to national security in the history of America". Do none of you ever notice that the government always picks the group they stand to gain something from extorting? I feel bad for those who don't connect the dots between our government's murderous oil campaign and our anti-muslim campaign that justifies it.

Exactly...if even 1% of Muslims are actually true radicals then we would have no chance to stop them.

Cain probably thinks that if the 911 hijackers took an oath when they entered the country they would have never gone through with the attack.

Herman Cain Would Require Muslim Appointees To Take A Special Loyalty Oath | ThinkProgress
I am not surprised, he did work for the Fed, they are a bunch of control freaks.

The only oath needed by everyone in politics, is to uphold the constitution but we see how well they follow that one.

Absolutely. When I hear these same people call Christians "sheep," I just roll my eyes and laugh to myself for two reasons. First, because they're the pot calling the kettle black for exactly the reasons you mentioned. They've fallen for the brainwashing done by the media, government and big business. Secondly because they don't realize that, in Christianity, being called a "sheep" is a good thing. They, on the other hand, are what they Bible calls "the goats." Things don't turn out as well for the goats as they do for the sheep.
