That is the right answer. You can not offer CRAZY people anything.

In the last election we had a candidate tell us what he would do when he was elected, how did that work out?
He was going to close Gitmo. He was going to bring the troops home in Iraq and Afghanistan. Last time I looked we are still there.
Should I go down the rest of the list of lies from Obama?

Thanks Matt for running an article on an actual policy position by a Republican candidate. Please keep it up when covering both Republicans and Democrats as we approach next year’s election.

Note to libs: This is what a ” real ” American looks like.

When Mr’ Cain says I, it’s in a sentence such as ” I ” admit ” I ” do not know that answer, so ” I ” will not give a false answer.

Although ” I ” upon my very first day as president, if elected, would consult mith ” my ” experts and bring myself up to speed.

A great CEO, whether a giant ” real ” American corporation or a ” real ” America knows he is not an island, but the leader of the free world, with the best and brightest minds on the planet at your beck & call…….and unlike Barack he will utilize every last one of them to restore America to pre barack & michelle dayz.

If you walk into a house that a herd of hogs have been running through you tend to find crappola everywhere. Don’t lose faith gordon. America will give Obama another four years to help clean up Bush’s messes.

Hilarious: “All seemed to be going smoothly until Cain was questioned about the Palestinian right of return. When Cain seemed confused about the term, Matthews elaborated on the issue, asking whether Palestinian refugees should have any right to return to Israeli land.”

The story is with Chris WALLACE, not MATTHEWS!!!! You liberals can’t get MATTHEWS out of your brain!

I probably won’t be voting for him, but it’s nice to see a politician not wearing the rose colored glasses and ignoring what the palestinians say and do on a nearly daily basis, whether it’s attack innocent children or elect a terrorist organization who wants the complete destruction of Israel.

LOL

Son, Barry said to elect the problems , not to be the Blamer In-Chief.” He is a failure like you.

Bush left in 2008, too bad you didn’t.

Cain knows absolutely nothing about Palestine and Israel. He does however, know the usual sound bytes that get the conservative base chattering. So someone who hasn’t done anything besides presiding over making pizza, I am not so inclined to listen to. And the conservative base has lost its credibility. After having a very public and protracted temper tantrum, they gave the country back to the same people and corporations who generated the crises we are in, so that they could perform what is tantamount to a hostile corporate takeover on a state by state basis that includes the raiding of middle class assets. The right doesn’t really want the 2012 elections, they want to wait for 2016 to come back for the court-ordered auction of the remaining assets. Truth is, as Limbaugh has directed, the right would rather destroy the country than see President Obama succeed.

All seemed to be going smoothly until Cain was questioned about the Palestinian right of return. When Cain seemed confused about the term, Matthews elaborated on the issue, asking whether Palestinian refugees should have any right to return to Israeli land.

That was definitely a sour note. He’s best not make that mistake again.

Cain wasn’t sure about what to do in Afghanistan either, yet explained “I think it’s disingenuous to tell the American people what I would do, when I don’t have the intelligence information.”

i don’t know anyone who’ s sure about what to do in Afghanistan. If Obama is, he isn’t telling us about it. What Cain is saying is that if elected, he’d do what Obama did. He’d conduct a review of the situation (with all of the information and all of the advisers that you get when you’re POTUS) and decide where he was going to go with it. Obama did that, and in June ’09 put Stanley McChrystal in charge of running it. Then McChrystal asked for more troops, and Obama decided to…review the whole thing AGAIN, just 4 months later, in Oct ’09.

If anyone could give a me clear, concise explanation of what our endgame is there, I’d sure like to hear it. Obama hasn’t done it, and he’s sitting in the Big Chair. It doesn’t make much sense as a knock on Cain.

Stop those racist comments!

i think it would only be fair and have obama sit this election out and send in biden. it would still be obama’s presidency, but it’s kinda like when your basketball team is embarrassing the other team and you start to feel sorry for them. just send in someone to at least make the other team seem like they’re still in the game.

i almost feel sorry for you.

Unless he’s offering me free pizza, I’m not interested anyways.

Matthews? What does he have to do with this story?

E. Joyce Moore said:

See, we have different interpretations of success. Obama wants to force everything to be “equal”, which ends up destroying everything. (See the inner cities for perfect examples.)

The Right wants to make things better. So the correct answer is to oppose Obama’s ideas so we help the country.

As opposed to the pandering 0bama who during his campaign was more than happy to repeatedly open his pie hole about a whole range of issues that he actually had ZERO intelligence about and make definitive statements and promises. Definitive statements and promises that he now realizes aren’t possible in the real world. IE… outside the liberal fantasy land of equivalence, pandering and fairy tales. Gitmo, military tribunals, drones, Afghanistan and on and on.

Herman is in the Koch kamp, where his red meat language is appeals to the idea that Bush was a good President and that our current path is bad, scary and unchristian. The Bush presidency was Conservatism run amok. How badly? I’ll put it in simple terms. Barack Hussein Obama. 7 years after a guy named Osama orchestrated the most successful terrorist attack,and 5 years after we took down a guy named Hussein we elect a guy named Barack Hussein Obama. Barack of course came to the ship of state with sunk along side the Titanic. It’s fate a result of a conservative shibboleth to deregulate the financial sector. Bush blew 8 trillion dollars to protect us for brown religious sharia law driven Mooslims. Now a few months after bring 2010 the mooslim hating conservatives want to keep the financial dog off the leash, and put sharia morality police officer in every womens vagina.

That’s partially why the ultimate Republican nominee doesn’t really matter. Even a billion dollars and the media in his shorts won’t cover up the mistakes this narcissist has made.

My problem with Cain is that on foreign matters, he’s ALWAYS said “I don’t have the info and I won’t make a decision”….that’s all well and good for bumper stickers, but not in actual governing. He’s new to the scene and so for that I give him leverage, but he also had a Muslim comment and it’s just not a good start. He’s better than others, but just not a preferred choice.

T-Paw over the rest. Boredom might be the ticket in 2012. HA!

Nice to hear a candidate tell the truth. Two competing peoples want that land, the Israelis and the Pals. Neither one will willingly, without war, give it up. The Pals should have been cleansed from the West Bank decades ago, just to settle the peace once and for all. Muslims lands reach from the tip of NWAfrica to Pakistan and then on to Indonesia and so on. The Pals could live anywhere; the peace process is all about destroying Israel. It’s so transparent.

Sir, you have my vote.

Cain is a moron, hence he has no prayer.

The Palestinians will grabbed the right to return with both hands (lol), what the hell is Mr. Cain talking about? The Israelis are more wary about ‘right to return’ than giving up lands. They will never agree to that, lol.

By the way, where in the constitution does it says the Country most devote itself blindly to a foreign country?

I really like Herman Cain, but this particular comment about offering the Palestinians “nothing” is not Presidential.

Herman Cain: I Would Offer Palestinians ‘Nothing’ For Peace, They Don’t Want Peace

That’s true.
You don’t elect a terrorist organization (Hamas) if you have the intention to make peace.

Cool thanks for posting this Mediaite I watched it this morning in stunned silence. This man knows zero about the Israel/Palestinian conflict. Good thing this guy has absolutely no chance of even getting the nomination, I have a feeling this guy could do some serious damage.

That is better than the Obama foreign policy method, which is making decisions irregardless of the facts. For instance, the closure of Gitmo. For instance, a premature withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan. For instance, lecturing Israel on its strategic survival. For instance, cozying up to Hugo Chavez.

It is better, I think, for a presidential candidate to speak of things he knows about, and to be honest about the things he does not, or which he has not reached a decision. This will not be the first time that Herman Cain or other candidates will be asked questions which they should refuse to answer.

Herman Cain seems to actually know Muslim history and what they have written about Israel/Jews. A rather refreshing change.

What you said was “the guy is just an uneducated republican teabaggin whackjob with a black face”.

Herman Cain is a trained mathematician and computer scientist with degrees from Morehouse and Purdue, so he is not uneducated. “Teabaggin” is itself a slur, regardless of the color of the person you are insulting. “Whackjob” is another insult,

And then you just had to include his color for emphasis…. when you include “black face” in a long list of insults, it is reasonable to assume that you consider “black face” to be an insult as well.

One one point we are in agreement — neither one of us cares much that you are a racist asshole.

So yes,

Actually, ProObamaAgenda, I had not intended to single you out as a racist asshole — you just took it that way, originally. What I noted was that a surprisingly large number of progressives are racist assholes. I guess you surmised that I must have been referring to you, but there are a great many others of your ilk.

Using your same twisted logic, that means Israeli citizens are terrorist’s.
And since I know you are for the killing of terrorist’s, that tells me you are for the killing of Israeli citizens/terrorist’s.

Well, a timeline changes everything. maybe, just to be sure, we should pass a law that says that what we want to happen does so according to the timeline. And we should send the Taliban a copy, so they’ll know what we expect them to do.

So now you know Obama’s plan. You want more? Why don’t we just send more info to the Taliban?

You cry about not knowing the plan then you cry about knowing too much about the plan.

Seems to me you either all ready knew or don’t even care, you just like to bitch and moan.

So you lable the people of Israel as terrorist’s and you want them and your extended family dead because they elected a right-wing government that’s not affraid to defend it’s people and land from suicidal nomad’s?

I’ve heard of self hating jews, but this is a whole new form of insanity.

Thing is, we don’t know that to be the plan. If it is the plan, it isn’t working very well, because our Afghan partners keep killing their American partners. Their ability to fight the jihadis would be bad enough already, if not for their sympathy toward them.

If we’re just going to bail out, then for God’s sake, let’s call it that and do it. I’d be OK with that. But that’s not what we’re doing. So, what are we doing? What we seem to agree on is that we’re spinning our wheels.

When I say Israel I mean the government, it’s like someone saying I hate American drone attacks in Pakistan. You assume that because of that statement I hate Joe Blow from Kansas City and blame him for droning wedding parties in Pakistan. None too bright.

Hermann Cain is just demonstrating that yes, you can be both black and a radical, racist bigot.

Thanks Herm. Now I suppose the fact that you came across as a blithering idiot with no concept of anything resembling a “Middle East policy” (hating Arabs and Muslims is not a policy) is because of liberal Fox News pulling a hit job, right?

On the contrary. Herman Cain states the obvious. Judging by one’s actions and not one’s empty words alone, the Muslims have demonstrated thousands of times that they do not want peace nor have they ever wanted peace.

THINK of the BILLIONS of our dollars that have been poured into various peace summits encouraging the Muslims to not make war against the US or Israel and ask yourself one simple question: Have our efforts to broker peace proved fruitful? If you don’t know the answer to that question, you’re probably an artichoke…maybe a sponge.

He doesn’t have the intelligence information, nor a very good handle on foreign policy. It can’t be reduced to Israel, right or wrong. The over arching policy of demanding an honest assessment of Palestinians’ commitment to a negotiated peace may be correct, but the issue of the ‘right of return’ is basic to Levant politics and he should have been aware of it. Too bad, since he made an impression at the debate early May.

if Cain wants to get further along in the primaries than 29 raised hands in a focus group he’d better brush up on foreign policy but quick.

All this clueless clown understands are questions like, ‘Will that be ham or pepperoni on your pizza?’

Saw Cain on FoxNewsSunday. Don’t understand what the hoopla is all about. He was contridicting his own statements and didn’t have answers when pressed. Another irrelevant candidate.

Cain is a moron, hence he has no prayer.

What was your prediction for the November 2011 elections?

Girth Brick said:
Only the GOP could dredge up a pizza flipper and claim he is ready to be President.

Yeah! RIght! All he ever did was be a mathematician for the US Navy working on ballistics, he took a large division of a company that was unprofitable and made it profitable. He took another company that was unprofitable and made it profitable and he has decades of excutive experience. That pales in comparison to Barack Obama who took the Southside of Chicago and transformed it into a paradise!. It is a paradise now, isn’t it? I haven’t seen it since 2009 when I last worked in Chicago. It must be a paradise cause President Obama became a millionaire while doing it!

How can Hermain Cain think he can run the Executive Branch of the Federal Government when he only has decades of executive experience. Compare that the President Obama who spent his 1/2 term as a US Senator running for President.

On another note, why does that real racist king guy call Sarah Palin the quiter for serving 1/2 term as Governor of Alaska, but never calls Barack Obama the quiter for serving 1/2 term as US Senator?

And Cain never went to a business meeting to merely vote “present.” ;)

Seriously, this will be a year and a half running joke. Liberals denouncing every running republican for any reason they can come up with as if BO wasn’t the most inexperienced nobody do nothing ever to be elected.

J Baustian said:
What you said was “the guy is just an uneducated republican teabaggin whackjob with a black face”.

Herman Cain is a trained mathematician and computer scientist with degrees from Morehouse and Purdue, so he is not uneducated. “Teabaggin” is itself a slur, regardless of the color of the person you are insulting. “Whackjob” is another insult,

And then you just had to include his color for emphasis…. when you include “black face” in a long list of insults, it is reasonable to assume that you consider “black face” to be an insult as well.

One one point we are in agreement — neither one of us cares much that you are a racist asshole.

So yes,

What’s Moorehouse and Purdue supposed to mean when we have right wingers running around saying Columbia and Harvard Law School mean NOTHING and demand to see Obama’s transcripts to prove he deserved to be there?

I’m sorry. Treat Herman Cain like you treated Obama.

Herman Cain is an associate minister at the Antioch Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. Where are the video clips and transcripts of HIS SERMONS, and those of the other ministers there?

What? We only care about Reverend Wright? What about Minister Cain?

Hypocrites.

There is no such thing as a Palestinian people. There is no country called Palestine. It is not now, nor has it ever been recognizes as such. The city of Palestine is made up of Syrians, Jordanians, and Lebanese therefor, they have no legitimate claim to Israeli property.

Herman seems to very pro-American; Obama and many of his cohorts were/are very anti-American.

I suspect that you guys would want to suppress Herman’s speeches as he is anti-liberal.

I don’t want to suppress anything. I want ALL of Herman Cain speeches and sermons to be screened and vetted.
And then I want all of the ministers at Antioch Baptist Church’s speeches and sermons screened and vetted, too.

What problem do you have with that, Alz?

–Cobra

And after they are, we’ll do like the left did with Wright’s sermons and say it doesn’t matter.

Cain knows way more than Obama does. Look at the stupid comments he made about Israel in the recent screwup he made speaking on going back to the 1967 lines. What an idiot and an anti-Semite he is!

Go ahead and vet them, but we can see the guy is Pro-American. You’ll only find some exceptions. With Obama and his cohorts, the exceptions are related to being pro-American.

You liberals are so dense.

Do you also want all of Obama’s speeches and sermons screened and vetted? I’d sure like to see this one. I suspect it would be quite instructive for the current topic.

Why is the LA Times sitting on that tape? Do you think they should they release it?

If Minister Cain sounds anything like Reverend Wright, I want to know about it. I want to see the tape. But I highly doubt he does. By all means, dig up whatever you can find, and let’s see it.

Let’s see… the US Navy hired Herman Cain before he finished his masters degree. Then Coca Cola hired him, and after that Pillsbury hired him, and promoted him, and promoted him again. Then he put together some investors and bought Godfather’s Pizza from Pillsbury.

Following that, Cain was hired to run the National Restaurant Association, a trade group.

During this period, Cain also found time to serve on the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, and served 18 months as its chairman.

The point is this: over and over again, for 40 years, Herman Cain has been hired for tougher and tougher jobs, and he succeeded in everything. It is easy to tell when someone is a beneficiary of affirmative action — they are given jobs in public relations, or in some cool-sounding office with no authority, where they can do no harm. This is not a description of Herman Cain.

Herman Cain has been vetted.

Now look at what Barack Obama did when he got out of college. Who did he work for? What responsibilities did he have? How often was he promoted? Did he ever take a failed enterprise and turn it into a success?

Herman Cain’s political views have been public knowledge since at least the 1970s. He has never had to reinvent himself into a totally new person, or write autobiographies that were filled with imaginary facts.

I guess that over the last few months I’ve been thinking of Herman Cain as just a regular business executive, not crazy like Donald Trump but not especially qualified for political office. But the more I learn about him and the more I compare him to Barack Obama, the more sense a Herman Cain candidacy makes sense.

Obama and Cain couldn’t be much different. I saw Herman speak in October and he was very good. From watching him, he seems very consistent too. Is he perfect? No, of course not, but he;s ligt years ahead of Obama.

Obama is bad for America and Cain is good for America.
