Are you kidding about Herman? He had nothing to say, only empty buzzwords, I think he was very bad. The fascist guy obviously has no chance, Pawlenty is boring, talks like a sleazy politician and has no message. We are left with Ron Paul and Garry Johnson who are amazing candidates and I wish luck to both. In that crowd they have no competition.
So I did find these.
Why I’m not excited about Herman Cain
The Truth About Herman Cain.
DID YOU KNOW?
Didn’t see anything abou the muslim comment, but I didn’t look for it specifically. And get a load of this title. You’ll get a kick out of it.
Rick Santorum is a theocon’s theocon. A portrait of everything that is wrong with America. Muslims are evil, America is unfaltering, the nuclear family / Leave-it-to-Beaver lifestyle is ideal for every human on the planet, “family values”. Yuck. It’s saddening to hear that he actually got some traction after the debate. My opinion of my fellow Americans sunk even further.
As for Johnson, Johnson didn’t get many opportunities and people should at least hear him out. He provides a balancing effect for Ron Paul. Johnson isn’t going to do any damage in the primaries, so at least if he gets invited to future debates, he’ll be able to make Ron Paul sound less crazy to an audience that has their thought directed by Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
Just posted about it bro, scroll up.
I like Herman Cain and Ron Paul the best. As long as Obummer gets out, we at least have a shot at steering things in a better direction with either of these two. However, it appears as though we may not have elections for much longer as the federal government is truly spending itself into oblivion.
Regardless, I didn’t agree with Cain on some things, like his unwillingness to show the bin Laden pic and not having a plan for war, but he makes the most sense other than Paul.
I disagree with Ron Paul on waterboarding. It’s very effective, yet he claimed it wasn’t. I didn’t understand this. However, he made a great point on Habeas Corpus and the elimination of secret prisons. How much more powerful should the state be? I still say have the terrorists undergo military tribunals as the juducial system is an absolute joke. Look at Cayce Anthony. How they haven’t convicted her yet is beyond me.
Brutus likes Herman Cain the muslim hating bigot, and ignores Gary Johnson. Big surprise.
Can you prove I’m a “muslim hating bigot” as you so claim? Careful, careful…
I believe he was calling Cain the bigot.
I think the “Big surprise” says it all though. I still haven’t heard a proof. In fact, I’m willing to be he can’t prove either of his claims, the direct and indirect one. How is Herman Cain a bigot?
He’s judging the capability of people working in government and their capability of upholding the constitution purely based on the fact that they are Muslim. That’s called prejudice. The proof for him being a bigot:

I did not say that you hate Muslims, but I did strongly imply it ![]()
Herman Cain may or may not be a bigot, but he most certaily is an idiot.
I believe it was Santorum (?) that dissapointed me the most. (The guy standing next to Gary Johnson.) He managed to wriggle out of that feminism quote fairly but somehow he just came off like a bigot.
Yea, I the feminism question was the only one he gave a decent answer to imo. Otherwise he comes accross as another pro-war social conservitive, which pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with the Republican party today.
I was also dissapointed with Herman Cain, I was looking foreward to see him if only because he was a non-politician with real business credentials behind him. However he dodged most of hte questions with a ‘we’ll have to identify the problem and then address it effectively.’ Which sounds to me like an admission that he has no idea what he’s doing.
I also must say how awesome it was that Ron Paul got applause for heroin. I’d like to see anybody else try that one…
What else should we expect from a former Federal Reserve bigwig?
How is he an idiot? Prove it, unless it’s yet another claim filled with hot air.
If you mean the muslims that want to destroy my country, you are indeed correct; I do hate them.
P.S. That’s not proof, that’s speculation. I asked for proof.
Having read the Qu’ran and acclimated to the cultures of Muslims, I do not trust active adherents to Islam. Muslims in name alone (ie: theists) are of no concern to me, but Islam, itself, proves to be a religion of which I am very wary about.
I have to wonder what exactly you mean by “active adherents to Islam”. Something tells me they’re not all created equal, but you seem to think otherwise. Why is that?
Regardless, my comment was in response to you saying that you were sold on Herman Cain simply because he vowed not to nominate any Muslims to his cabinet. I’m simply amazed that you would focus on that issue above all others.
Brutus, please read my PowerPoint that I made. I held the same view once.

Id est, the individuals who actually believe what the Qu’ran and the Hadith says. And not just generic Cafeteria-Catholic-esque, “Oh, I believe in God and my family is Muslim, so I guess I am too.”
Anyway, that was more or less a joke. I do agree with his decision, though that’s certainly not the only issue I’m concerned with. But he’s looking impressive thus far.
