Herman Cain climbs up the polls

Bubblehead1980 · 09-29-11, 05:08 PM

Herman Cain, considered a long shot for the GOP nomination has quickly risen to 3rd place.I believe he will surge ahead myself barring something crazy.Cain's CPAC speech in January 2011 really was great, if he could deliever like this again, he could easily get this.For those of you who may have missed it, take the time to listen, it is worth it.

I think Cain is electable. Personally I like the guy. I think you will find his resume is quite extensive.

Cain might bring some of the moderates back to the GOP.

He beat Stage 4 cancer of the liver and colon diagnosed back in 2006. There's an impressive victory in itself.

He's anti-abortion, anti-DADT, anti-gay rights, came out and said he would discriminate against Muslims based on their religion, wants to lower corporate and capital gains taxes, he's for school vouchers, against immigration reform, anti-union, wants to abolish the IRS....what exactly is moderate about him?

Compared to the other GOP candidates that is.

Good point Mookie. You would make him a radical?

He's got some radical hard-right ideas, but the majority of his positions sound like your standard right-wing fare. I definitely wouldn't call him a moderate, but I wouldn't go so far as to label him radical either.
