Herman Cain: slice of stupid with extra arrogance.
"GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain said Sunday he doesn’t have a plan for the war on terror and won’t share his thoughts with voters until he gets into the White House.

“The right approach is that the day I’m elected, I would start on that plan,” he told “Fox Sunday News.”

Mr. Cain, former Godfather’s Pizza CEO, said he can’t make those decisions until he sees intelligence files that he is not privy to at this point.

“I think it is disingenuous to tell the American people what I would do,” he said."

My teabag neighbor is all-in with Cain. I'd say Cain doesn't have a chance of making it through the first primary, but the stupid is in its zenith now, so who the fuck knows?

4. That was Bill Clinton, when he was President.
So the story is not only trivial, but extremely old.

7. Reminds me of the season finale of The Office
One applicant for the manager's position said he had a "3 Step Plan" to boost profits at the company, but he wouldn't tell them until he got hired for the position. It was hysterical AND it wasn't real, just like the republican primary.

I can't blame any viable candidate from staying away from this circus. Many would never recover politically.

10. Reminds me of McCain in 2008
when he was going around saying he knew how to get bin Laden.

Cain isn't stupid but if he expects people to vote for him before he talks about his plans he certainly is naive.

11. That's exactly how Walker and Johnson got elected
they repeatedly wouldn't tell what their plans were for anything when asked by reporters, during debates and interviews. Then they got elected and said "well, we told you we were going to do this" - no they didn't..Democrats told everyone what they would do and were accurate, but the people that voted for these two fools convinced themselves that because it was the Dems warning them - that it was all campaign bullshit and Walker or Johnson wouldn't do those things...well they did. The Dems told everybody that the repubs wouldn't say what they were going to do because no one would like it.

14. Did not know where else to post this?
Edited on Sun May-22-11 11:07 PM by RightNoMore
Came across an interesting Poll about Herman Cain on a PRO Right Wing gun site. AR15.coW. The Poll asked if ; "Herman Cain being black would stop me from voting for him " and so far 14.3 % have said they would not vote for him because he is African American.
This site is about 99% TEA Baggers and RONBOTS.
Poll results says says it all.

17. The race card...
It's funny how his "supporters" keep saying that Obama wouldn't be able to play the race card in 2012. The dopes don't realize that they just played it. However, I would be interested in seeing this guys unqualified MILF running mate.
