The more I read about this man the more I like him. The first thing to like is his utter dislike of taxes. How about that for a change? He's the one candidate who actually has a new and novel idea on how to have a tax system that's fair and simple and pretty easy for anyone to understand.
Herman Cain earned a Bachelors in Mathematics from Morehouse College and a Masters in Computer Science from Purdue. Herman Cain was also a ballistics expert in the Navy, and is a strong proponent of the 2nd Amendment.
Herman Cain is the author of four books on leadership. He’s also a survivor of colon cancer and a fierce opponent of ObamaCare.
Herman Cain is also Christian. He attends and participates in a church near Atlanta, Georgia. Another plus these days he is staunchly anti-radical Islam.
Unlike others, he want to increase spending on the military and maintain America's strong defensive stature. He's a Constitutionalist and a proponent of strong borders coupled with easing the way to legal immigration and citizenship.
I'm not sure where his candidacy will lead, but the more I know about him, the more I like. He's a man to watch, and right now the man of the hour.

A lot of military equipment is getting very old and needs to be replaced. As long as there are places like the middle east and particulary Iran, we need a strong military. I firmly believe that 10 years from now people will be asking how we could have been so stupid as to not stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think so.

Right on target, Ladydoc. We have pilots flying B-52's that their grandfathers could have been flying and there are many more weapons systems that need to be upgraded and replaced.
We can never let any other nation for one minute think we are vulnerable to any attack without they themselves experiencing a massive response and annihilation at our hands if they were so foolish as to attempt it.
Guest
09-26-2011, 10:33 AM
The cost of the military is subordinate in amount and priority to the pet projects of the lawmakers and their special interest groups, lobbyists and of course their personal agendas.
Ladydoc's observations are 100% correct. Just like the infrastructure in our country that has been allowed to deteriorate to a point of gross neglect to shunt money to their special projects.....ditto for the military.
A priority item that a field commander approves today as needed to maintain position, save lives or support a mission takes a minimum of 90++ days to get approved with too many taking 6 months....purely political. The aides get the requests, then they do their second guessing of how well the request might be viewed by their boss(es)....the ones that get forwarded then go through the same second guessing by the lawmaker as well as how it fits his or his constituencies agendas.....meanwhile...the troops wait.
The system is broken....all the 545 in Washington know it...because it is business as usual....nobody minds, or cares and nothing gets changed from one administration to another.
When another bridge falls or a military disaster happens tied to fauklty equipment AND when the media decides to ride that horse....will there be some attention. If the lawmakers in Washington were firefighters they would, everyone of them, wait until they saw the flames and felt the heat before making a decision whether to fight the fire or not. Note I did not say to decide to fight the fire.

I do not know how any American can be satisified that our military spending should either remain status quo or be reduced.
As aptly pointed out much of our equipment is outdated and /or need of repair.
Mostly our military needs to purchase the latest innovations to keep us ahead of those whom would oppose America. (More on that below)
Our volunteer military needs to be adquately funded while serving and if disabled be given the medical care they need. If we cannot afford to keep this force properly cared for we will have to return to the draft. Personally I am for the draft because far too many of our young people are too disengaged( i.e. a meaning let George do it attittide")
I believe Obama has made a mess of our foreign policy beginning with reneaging on the missle defense system in Poland, with underestimating Russia. He has made enemies of our friends and friends of our enemies. His time table in Afgan and Iraq are ill conceived. While we lost 4,000+ troops over these last ten years. Yet we lost 26,000 troops in Korea and have had a contingent of 36,000 soldiers to protect our interests and that of our allies in that part of the world for 60 years and rightly so given threats from N Korea and China It will all be for naught if we leave only 4000 troops in those two middle east countries. I also believe he lost many opportunities within the Arab Spring .
Time will tell how costly his mistakes will be. Pray breathen that I am wrong
No other country can defend democracy better than America because we will not allow anyone to take our freedom from us and so in the long run we always move in our best interests That is the reality of our world situation. We have all learned that with freedom come cost and sacriface
So we will need to have a strong and updated military defense. Of course I do believe that any Administration should have controls to prevent fraud and abuse

Actually, Herman Cain seems to know what he wants for the government to work better. His ideas are good on the surface but it would be next to impossible to get them through Congress. It is the same network of politicians and even though a President has very good ideas, it has be passed by both the House and Senate.
Cain is a lot better than some of the other candidates and is a very intelligent and capable person. He may be out of his element as far as being President of the USA but is certainly worth thinking about.

I wish I could find that link that explained about the bills going through Congress. Seems that the House has passed many bills to help the economy but it dies in the Senate and rarely gets voted on. Seems Harry Reid gets a free pass on this and the left always use the Tea Party as a scapegoat.

Obama sure didn't get much done when they had both houses. Yes he got Obama care. It was his and Nancy Pelosi's top priority. They still were delayed time and again by their senate...yes Uncle Harry was there (still). They did manage to push the Obama care package through, however, with nobody having read it.
Whoever becomes the next POTUS in 2012 the candidate will have to be strong enough to challenge the business as usual in Washington....Obama while promising to do so to get elected has proven he certainly is not the person to get the job done. In fact he has strengthened the business as usual with the Chicago political spin on deal making VS leadership.
He is in a great position to step up to the bar and prove to all he can make a difference. Since it is becoming more apparent every day that he is destined to be a one term POTUS...he COULD take a flyer and do what needs to be done to start America in the right direction. Again he has proven that he is not interested. In fact alluding to be OK with being a one term POTUS. After all he has accomplished his mission. First black POTUS, executive priveledge for the rest of his life and secret secuiry protection for the rest of his life and financial gain for the rest of his life as well as steering American policy at home and abroad so far from the good of the American people....he will eclipse the post POTUS chatter rained upon Bush.
Cain is a business man and a leader. The current administration does not have a single person with such credentials. And for the narrow minded partisan banter....it does not matter what the product is to be a good leader and business person. The attributes and expertise are universally applicable...yes even to the hopelessly broken 545 in Washington.

mr cain was very well received here in the villages several months ago...his nine nine nine plan makes sense and would be easier to get passed than the fair tax...last night craig miller spoke at the tea party meeting and said although he was for the fair tax, he would never trust our govt to implement a consumer tax BEFORE the income tax had been dismantled, and that would take a long time and a difficult effort...you can see how we could end up with BOTH taxes with our congress licking their chops! i think mr cain would be a strong candidate with no political baggage and a great business leadership record. craig miller is running against nelson for US senate. also impressive.

American voters have seen the damage caused by the 2006 take over of congress by the democrats while Bush was still in office. Many people do not bring that up in the debates. Pelosi and her ilk promised all kinds of things including open government and job creation. I think 2006 was the start of the decline of the USA.

I've seen the polls about Congress, and with the state of the union right now I'm not surprised. (FYI: you do know that Congress is the House of Representatives and the Senate)
Where is your poll of voters expressing their rejection of the Tea Party. Did Gallup, Zogby or some other polling outfit take and release that poll? Is there such a poll of voters or is this just another example of your fertile imagination?

Congress's ratings have been low since it was taken over by the democrats in 2006. I suspect that their ratings will go up when Tea Party endorsed candidates take over the Senate and then we can pass some real legislation to get America working again. To be strong and heal we will have to repeal the bills passed in the last 5 years that have weakened our economy.

Just like they wanted McCain. They can use the same old arrows they have used time and time again. "Repubs are racist". "Repubs hate the poor." Cain comes from humble beginnings. They can't use racism or class warfare.
Cain can solve problems. Career partisan politicians got us here. We cannot let the Republican talking heads or the dems give us the next candidate.I do not think Obama could beat this guy in a debate. Does he even use a teleprompter?
It would be a mistake to have another John McCain run in 2012.

A couple of others mentioned that they thought Cain would never get his ideas through Congress. May I ask what you like about the 9/9/9 plan, why you think it is better than a revised federal income tax system and how you could imagine it as specific legislation which could make it through Congress, even if there were a Republican majority in the Senate.

I'm not sure how Mr. Cain can get Congress to debate his proposed tax overhaul. I just like the simplicity of it and the fact that it would render the gargantuan IRS as obsolete. We could dissolve it and institute a small accounting firm that could perform the resulting task.
It removes a lot of the underground economy by instituting a 9% federal consumption tax that law-abiding and lawbreakers alike must pay. It'll add a lot of new federal revenue in just that aspect.
It's a plan that everyone can understand unlike the monstrous and convoluted regulation of our current tax code. Can anything like this actually pass? I don't think so, because it takes a lot of power out of the hands of legislators. I don't have to say anything else.

So, as I said before, Cain's 9-9-9 plan sounds good but it would not be possible to get it through Congress. Lots of good people can come up with good plans but they are not politically feasible. Candidates can say they want to abolish the IRS. That is not going to happen. Look at the huge number of employees that would be given pink slips. Politically, that is a nightmare in every state. Government agencies cannot easily be shut down.

There has to be a way to shut down government agencies whose original purpose is expired. Government is like an obese person stuck in a fast food restaurant at night eating every thing he can find. Government is people on the wagon and the citizens are pulling the wagon. Every time they hire a new government employee, he jumps up on the wagon. Eventually there will be more people on the wagon then there is people pulling the wagon.
It is about time we lighten the wagon-the citizens are tired of pulling all this dead weight!!!

Your work at the VA is greatly appreciated and it sounds like you were doing vitally important work. But I read Villagegolfer's post to say that the Government has hired too many workers. It didn't mention anything about the work ethic of those workers. Having worked in both government and private sectors, I saw "slugs" in both arenas. No offense, but Government Union workers were by far the worst.

Sometimes you've got to do it. You've just have to shut down the buggy whip plant.
With a simplified (Fair Tax?) system you can have an IRS that is scaled down probably 90% (I made that up for expediency) and transformed into an accounting firm with techs monitoring computer reports and calculations.
Will it affect IRS workers? Of course, but time heals all wounds and those people will survive or fail on their own initiative; but it's not our place or duty to have to provide lifetime jobs just "because".
Remember our conversation over a cold one when I tried to explain how government employees don't live in the real world of the marketplace for the reason that they can't see how any problem with incoming government revenue is applicable to the job they do. This is a wonderful example of that.

We could debate this forever and the answer will still be the same. We may agree that a Fair Tax is best for everyone. The IRS, though, is not going away. Cain's plans may sound wonderful - but would never get a vote in Congress. Candidates can promise the world but reality kicks in and they never can go anywhere without being watered down in Congress so much nothing looks the same.

I agree with you as I said previously on this tread. The problem with changing the tax code is that the people who have to vote to do it would be, in effect, reducing their own power.
Guest

I will tell you why I believe that the 9% National Sales Tax will work. Because the politicians are worried to death that the Baby Boomers are retiring, and the "income" tax is going to miss out on trillions as their income is replaced with pensions etc.
As a "Boomer" I'll gladly pay the 9% just to get the government out of manipulating this country and tax code.

Perry has been awful in the glare of the debate spotlight. He wasn't prepared for it; that's obvious. He has time to make a comeback. Can he? That's the question. He needs to expand his presence; maybe by agreeing to as many interviews as he can handle; on FOX News especially. FOX News because that's the station conservatives watch. He doesn't need to consider the left in this primary season.

RichieLion has a wonderful idea when he says Ricky Perry should do as many interviews as he possibly can and to do them on FOX. That is about as funny as it gets. Let a Tea Party Republican just do interviews on FOX! Let him do the interviews on all the networks and not just FOX. If they are just on FOX, it will show he is afraid of real questions from real news anchors. Of course, there is the good possibility that he will implode during real questions by real anchors like Sarah Palin did with Katie Couric. That one interview showed American voters what Palin lacked for credibility as a viable candidate. Same would happen with real questions for Ricky Perry.
Your post did give me my ROLF for the afternoon. Thanks.

I live in the real world and not the world of your liberal fantasies, so I'll explain it again. Rick Perry is running for the REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. Rick Perry needs to present himself in a good light to REPUBLICAN VOTERS at this time. If he wants to be seen by REPUBLICAN VOTERS he will go to the media that REPUBLICAN VOTERS trust and thus watch and listen to. That network is FOX NEWS. It's not CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS or PBS. It's really just that simple.
After, if he is successful and has the nomination, then he might have to succumb to being attacked, lied to and lied about and generally disrespected by one or more of those leftist media arms of the Democrat Party. But that's not the case at this point in time.

I like herman Cain and will vote for him in the primary. However, I worry about the fact that he's in remission from stage 4 colon cancer:
1) Does he wear an Ostemy pouch to collect waste? What are the implications of that? Is there an ever present danger of infection?
2) I think he has been in remission for about 5 years. That's great! However, I can't help but wonder if we are taking too big of a risk here, and a risk to him as well, with the stress of running for office and eventually holding office. Do we have any idea of what the risk is to him and to the country?
I just think he's too good to be true and something's going to happen to spoil it all. Are we rolling the dice with him? Is he rolling the dice with his health? What are his chances of remaining cancer free?

I like herman Cain and will vote for him in the primary. However, I worry about the fact that he's in remission from stage 4 colon cancer:
1) Does he wear an Ostemy pouch to collect waste? What are the implications of that? Is there an ever present danger of infection?
2) I think he has been in remission for about 5 years. That's great! However, I can't help but wonder if we are taking too big of a risk here, and a risk to him as well with the stress of running. Do we have any idea of what the risk is to him and to the country?

He said in the debate that it was a very fast spreading cancer. He's been free of it for a long time. A fast spreading one would probably have come back already if it were going to.
Beyond that, you never know with ANY candidate whether they're going to live or die in office. The whole thing is a crap shoot. Except that Herman Cain is the most refreshing, geniune, can-do, America-loving and solution-oriented candidate we've seen in a long, long time.

I intend to vote for Herman Cain. I live in Atlanta with land in Buttonwood. Herman had a conservative talk radio show here before he declared his candidacy for president. I find it exceedingly refreshing that he acts and sounds the same now as he did before he declared. He is consistently conservative and consistently genuine. These qualities form a good foundation for being deemed trustworthy.
