Tell me about Herman Cain

[PressCheck]

What was Godfathers pizza policy on employees ccw when he was CEO?

I worked for Domino's and was told not to ccw, I did anyway but risked getting fired.

Jeez, who carees.

Christie I would love to see run, he is a no bull, straight talking politician, which a lot of people would be drawn too, but he has his hands full, and has said he isn't going to run, repeatedly, yet.

Do a little research...Christie has MANY very liberal positions.

Our instructors can carry guns concealed, and it appears to be no problem? Gun dealers have insurance and their employees can also carry firearms... I think "no" company is a bit far.

Point well taken. I'm just guess'n but I'd bet my next paycheck that gun stores pay an exorbitant price for their insurance. You don't want to pay that for a pizza parlor. If anybody has any real dollar amounts they can share........

He'd win the south all right, but Obama would still get most black votes in the south. The democrat always does, even though historically the democrats were the architects of Jim Crow.

How long can that stupidity sustain itself?

[yellowfin]

Of course TX is a pro gun state, NJ is anti. IIRC TX has a republican legislature and NJ has a democrat one ie Perry has a more friendly legislative environment than Christie.

That's no excuse or reason for Christie to not be pro gun.

How long can that stupidity sustain itself?

Hard to say. There's a lot of complicated history dating back to Reconstruction in southern politics.

No it's not. I don't know much about him, but I understand he's been quoted as saying he's OK with NJ's gun laws. Still I'm gonna go with any republican over Obama in 2012. None of them can be worse on 2A issues. I gotta be realistic. A vote for a third party candidate more to my liking will be a vote for Obama. It stinks, but for now we still have a two party system with one party generally far better on 2A issues than the other.

BTW what happened with your Sen Gillebrand (who is one hot babe) and her so called support of 2A issues? She sure changed on that once she got elected to being pretty much in lockstep with Schumer.

Ron Paul will not get elected, ever. Not that I don't like the guy, infact, he has some great ideas, the problem is centrist will not lean his way. All we can do, is hope when he doesn't get the nod, he stays out of the way this time. As much as we all hate to admit it, its a two party system.

I used to vote that way, until I reflected that this kind of thinking got us Bush and multi-trillion dollar deficits. The only way to fight for small government conservatism is to vote against big government candidates, no matter whether they have a (R) or a (D) next to their names. So Romney, Huntsman etc...I will not vote for them. If that results in Obama getting a 2nd term so be it - his presence energizes small government conservatives in Congress, whereas Bush's election all but emasculated them.

Summary: Gun control should be state decision

More power to you brother but IMHO this explains a lot about how CA's state government got to be so 2A unfriendly. And if the majority of the electorate has this way of looking at the 2012 election the possibility that much or all of CGF's hopes for improving the 2A situation in CA by way of SCOTUS decisions could go up in smoke if just one pro 2A justice dies, retires or is incapacitated during Obama's second term.

BTW I thought the deficit passed the trillion dollar mark during Obama's tenure. It's not like he turned off the spigot. I'm gonna have to research that.

Cain supported bailouts and it's not easy finding a pro-gun track record on him. About all i could find was a soundbite: "I have six guns and that's not enough...hahaha!" I smell RINO.

There is a very good reason you can't find a track record on him. He's never held public office.

The idea of checking his company's ccw policy is brilliant,

No so much. He hasn't been the CEO of Godfathers since 1996.

Cain was interviewed on the Glenn Beck Show this afternoon. Softball questions. He didn't do badly. No glaring issues.

Screw gun rights. None of that means ****. If the country is in total anarchy than it is a dog eat dog. That is what the NWO wants. Call me crazy, but just watch in the next 2 years what happens. You will be begging me for your safety, because I am well prepared for it.

Economics is not a zero sum system and all of the fed conspiracies rely upon the concept that it is. The federal reserve is a huge part of daily life and is relatively transparent. One can disagree with its current policy stance (I personally think it's being too accommodative right now but there are real and serious arguments the other way too) but it's hardly a conspiracy.

The problem with the gold standard is that it doesn't map well to a non zero sum creation of wealth as wealth grows faster than the supply of gold which leads to all sorts of perverse problems. If you want a real conspiracy go do some research on ConAgra and ADM and get back to us.

Now, can we go back to the qualities of a highly qualified GOP candidate who can beat Obama - a requirement if we want to keep our gun rights?

The problem with Cain is that he is part of the system that got us here.
Most of you guys are missing the point that the FED sets financial policy. The FED is at the heart of the problem.
The money that our govt. should be issuing at ZERO interest is controlled and issued by the FED. The cost for printing a $1 bill vs a $50 or a $100 bill is the same. When it is put into circulation it is loaned out at face value plus interest.
Then when we get it in the form of loans it has an additional amount of interest tacked onto it. There are multiple layers to this issue, and to try and explain the different facets would take far too long.
This is one of the main reasons Ron Paul wants to audit the FED.
If the average American were to find out how much money the FED makes off our taxes just in interest alone every year there would be a revolution by morning.
I'm not saying someone should not be in charge of the monetary policy or money supply. I think that whoever is in charge of those things should be elected by us serve in the official govt. structure and conduct the business of our country's monetary supply with transparency and accountability.
Ask yourself this, if you were able to do anything you wanted with money and didn't have any accountability to anyone what would you do? Probably everything that they've done, right? That is exactly why we are in this financial mess.

In an interview a couple of weeks ago, Cain did speak to this issue when he was asked about why he opposed auditing the Fed. He said in substance, I don't oppose auditing them. Audit them all you want. It's just not a priority of mine, because you won't find anything. If they are smart enough to do all the things they are accused of doing, they are certainly smart enough to not leave the evidence laying around.

If nothing else, you have to admire his honesty.
