The Republican Nomination For President: The Race For The Race For The White House

What have you read?

Cain didn't bring up the facility in TN on Thursday (7-14, I believe). He was asked about it later by reporters.
The Murfreesboro Islamic Center, he is quoted as saying, "...is an infringement and an abuse of our freedom of religion."
"(T)his isn't an innocent mosque."
"This is just another way to gradually sneak Sharia into our laws."

What have you read?

Your post is the first mention I've seen...

Do you have a problem with what he said?

Yes, I do. I am old enough to remember or hear about the hatred of the Jews. I remember the thing about JFK, the 1st Catholic president. The White House was being remodeled at the time, and the rumor was that the Pope was going to move in.
I am not a big fan of Mitt Romney (gasp) but it pisses me off that a certain percentage will vote against him solely because he is Mormon.
I can't understand Cain's anti-Muslim stance. It is, as you are probably aware, not the 1st time he has expressed that sentiment.

Then you don't understand what Cain said and I'm getting
strong indications that there is little that you truly understand.

I am certainly willing to hear your understanding of what Mr Cain said. Please explain his/your logic.
Thank you.

I understand what you posted and claim Cain said - it sounds like he was clear.

Yes, it is clear what he is saying. Fortunately, very few people will agree with him and he will end up on the scrap heap of fringe candidates.

He's already a "fringe candidate." I believe the consequence of his stance will only become his death knell. The 35% of so-called hard-core conservatives will continue to support him - as well as Palin.

If you cared to look, you would find that most hard working American tax payers agree with Cain.

Positive intensity score

By Neal Boortz

After the release of the latest Gallup polls, can you guess who has the highest positive intensity score in the GOP field of candidates? That is – people who know this person, like this person. The person with the highest positive intensity score out of all of the GOP candidates and potential candidates is Herman Cain.

With about 50% of respondents actually knowing who Herman Cain is, he has the strongest positive intensity score with about a 25 .. that’s four points higher than the next two candidates, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry. Rick Perry? Yup, Rick Perry. Even though he is not a declared candidate, Rick Perry has a pretty high positive intensity score, though his name recognition is relatively low compared to Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, etc. Some not so good news for Tim Pawlenty, who scored barely above a 10 on the scale.

At this stage they will say just about anything to stand out from the rest of the muck pack.

I'm on the hairy edge of giving up on any interest in politics. I am beginning to truly believe we're the New Rome in the period of it's downfall and we've passed the fail safe point. I say this not out of paranoia but by viewing the state of things. I don't believe my children and heirs will ever see the prosperity or opportunity for it that we did and perhaps a redefining of what defines quality living is in order.

Let me qualify that last statement. I have crawled back out of a financial hole brought about mostly by significant health events, and I am now not in danger of going hungry, cold or shelterless, but I will probably never again have the sort of discretionary money I used to have. By rearranging my priorities and redefining good living I have everything I need if not everything I'd like to have, my living space is comfortable, my transportation is reliable, and I've regained my good health. Most importantly, when I lay my head down at night I am unconcerned about bills I can't pay because I've eliminated them. for me anyway, the new rich is a life unfettered by unnecessary things and the appreciation of merely being comfortable, well fed and securing the basic creature comforts. If I can afford more, I'll get 'em, but not unless I can pay for them up front.

Politicians of both stripes play on our fears that the big party is over and
our refusal to accept it and be happy that at least, even if the party is over, be grateful we had a chance to be there and enjoy it.

please forgive my rambling digression.

bvt, So much truth in what you say, but most importantly, congrats on your improved health.

A few of us are fortunate to have both good physical health as well as fiscal health; we can consider ourselves "healthy" by every meaning of that word.

Not having to worry about where our next meal is coming from, any cost for health services, our shelter from the elements, or whether to splurge on something that keeps us part of the on-going economy without money worries is a blessing.

I've been knocking on wood for several decades now, and appreciate the fact that we have done our best to save for that rainy day while trying to maintain good health habits.

Today's generation is having a more difficult time, and I worry about the future of our children. Our government's priorities lack the intelligence they deserve.

I can't say I entirely disagree, but I'm betting that we disagree on who or what will be primarily responsible.

If this is accurate, it is truly unfortunate, because we might share a common concern, but we will not share a common solution.

Today's generation is having a more difficult time, and I worry about the future of our children.
Obama's democrat administration lacks the intelligence this nation deserves.

WE are primarily responsible for our situation.

If when you say "We" you mean the democrats that voted this assclown Obama into power, then yes you are primarily responsible for the nations current and future situation.
