Herman Cain sounding just like Ron Paul WTF!

[Valli6]

Let's keep tying Mark Twain's quote to Ron. it clearly describes the Ron Paul phenomenon (including tea parties). His opponents should be labled "the timid ones".

"In the beginning of a change, The Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned.
When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."​

Huntsman is doing the same and seems to be making progress with it. Can't blame them really, the message is getting popular.

Cain will say anything. Remember how he said auditing the fed was a "waste of money" and then later he said he would support an audit.

 

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

We had to worry about the "Yes We Can" idiots last election, now we have to worry about the "Yes We Cain" ones. Baaaaaaa.

 

[belian78]

The support for this guy is absolutely infuriating. I saw him on CNN the other day, and the man couldn't even pronounce half his words correctly. Add that to his entire platform as of now being 'elect me, then I'll get some advisors to tell me what to do', and I'm just dumbfounded how anyone with a minimal level of intelligence could support him.

 

[mconder]

Ron Paul's positions are conservative positions, and it's not too surprising to find other candidates with the same positions. Not in all cases, but many.

Until after the election of course.

We need to be careful not to reject other candidates becoming more like Paul. That is the ultimate goal: to change the view of government. If Herman Cain starts to sound more and more like Paul, that is a good thing...that is success. I'm 100% sure Ron Paul would say the same thing.

Yes, it is frustrating considering Cain is inconsistent, but this sort of restraint regarding foreign policy would have been impossible to support as a conservative in 2004. Ron Paul's opinions have really made an impression on the larger political arena.

 

[Romulus]

I don't care what he says... I get more po'd because people actually believe it to be true! Lie Lie Lie... get elected, then its TOLDJA!

someone needs to ask Cain about the Patriot Act, and the debt ceiling

And auditing the Fed...

 

[nandnor]

nvm

 

[jmdrake]

Even Sarah Palin is starting to sound like RP just a bit:

Wow! Good find.

That's a good thing. The goal of the liberty movement should be to reform the GOP into a Constitutionalist party, not simply get Ron elected.

 

[tremendoustie]

agreed. and cain is a pretty cool guys and now with the policy views he has shown recently, like no to world policing and yes to fed audit i think he has my vote if ron has problems

I wouldn't vote for cain in a million years. I'd take the opportunity to write in Paul, or any of a number of other real pro-liberty people.

How about yes to increasing the debt ceiling two days after saying no to it? Oh and why did he change his mind? Because Chris Wallace pointed out to him that federal reserve chairman Ben Bernanke wanted the ceiling raised. Don't be fooled. Herman Cain is a tool that will say what he needs to get elected.

 

[low preference guy]

federal reserve chairman Ben Bernanke wanted the ceiling raised

supported the bailout and ridiculed those who opposed it as "purists"

 

[kahless]

Beck has him on right now.

 

[low preference guy]

Beck has him on right now.

he should fucking grill him about some of his stands we pointed out in this thread.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

Not sounding like Ron anymore.

"If Israel was attacked, it would be an attack on America"

At Glenn's leading, of course.

 

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Beck has him on right now.

Yep, and he's trying to do damage control on his refusal to appoint a Muslim to his cabinet. I think he's just digging the hole deeper.

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

I believe Beck said they would be discussing his Federal Reserve connection later on. I am sure it will be excused because this has been a Cain lovefest so far with Beck basically endorsing the guy.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

He even appealed to Cain's position at the Fed as evidence of authority on world economy, and asked for his "expertise" in diagnosing Europe's economic woes.

What a joke, I couldn't be happier that Beck is getting the boot.
