I usually don't give a crap about the stuffed shirts who are running for president, but I'm impressed with Herman Cain's background. He's not a lawyer; he has a BA in math and a MS (from Purdue) in CS. He worked in the private sector, managing real businesses, for 20 years. And he didn't have Romney's connections.

I wish he had a better platform than 9/9/9 though. I have no want for a sales tax.

Yeah. Given the unlikelihood of tax reform happening, I'd give that a pass. Although, I agree nobody should dangle the prospect of a NEW tax in front of Congress.
Anyway, I think I like him the best, after Ron Paul. I think it's time we elected an African American as President anyway.
What? Obama? Not American.
Ok, fine. But he's more kin to white people like me than he is to descendants of slaves from West Africa.

1. I just learned of a Rick Perry SCANDAL involving allegations that he saw the N word once and didn't remove it.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs....og.html
In the article, Herman Cain said: ....“I really don't care about that word. They painted over it ... I’m not playing the race card.”
2. From teh same article: "Former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain ...."
I didn't know he was the CEO of Godfathers. They made kickass pizza, at least when I lived near one in South Dakota. He has my vote.

“People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use racism as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve.”
Amen.

So, basically, he's saying that if you think poor black people are just lazy, it's not racist it's just fact?

Black people attack Cain.
West said Cain, “needs to get off the symbolic crack pipe and acknowledge that the evidence [of racism] is overwhelming.”
Ah yes, Cornell West, nothing better than using imagery of crack pipes and black people.

Cain's getting popular, time for the press to jump on him.

Wouldn't that make them racists?

No, he's a conservative, so that cancels out his blackness.

Don't care. Refer to the facebook post I just made:
FYI - If Herman Cain gets the republican nomination for President, I am going to have a lot of fun calling people who don't like him racists. Of course I don't think people who don't like him feel that way because they are racists; you would have to be a psycho to really believe something like that. But turnabout is fair play, and this is going to be really enjoyable.

I was not aware that race WAS an issue with Obama 3 years ago, at voting time. I thought it was his complete lack of executive experience, history with terrorists, and long time association with racist religious nutjobs.

Thanks for filling me in, CNN.

Well, I had to answer "Neither" and "High" on almost every single question. And this is my results:
Gary Johnson* (100%)
Ron Paul* (100%)
Barack Obama* (80%)
...
Herman Cain* (30%)
I find it strange that it puts Barack Obama so high on the list, considering.

Yeah, I was surprised to see Obama above 50% on mine too.
