I don't understand how he thinks his answer "my plan to not raise the debt ceiling won't work" is an acceptable answer, and he is not up to speed on foreign policy.

I now know why the folks at Red State love him so much. Cain appears like he has no idea what he is talking about or he is just pandering to the base. He is wrong about the debt ceiling. He is wrong about the fair tax. He is wrong about the "right of return." He is wrong about Israel. <br /><br />And by the way, I have criticized him in the past. Hopefully the Republicans won't fall for his silver tongue.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622986304847436893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-62104649044775637262011-05-22T19:21:01.387-04:002011-05-22T19:21:01.387-04:00You ask some very good questions, RWN.

While Cain's goofs do remind me somewhat of the 2008 edition of Sarah Palin, I can't imagine the 2011 edition of Sarah Palin making them this badly. <br /><br />Every candidate makes gaffes now and again. They are only human, after all. But these Cain gaffes betray a distinct "not ready for prime-time" quality about him.<br /><br />Too bad.marKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-7433751127006731912011-05-22T18:59:42.079-04:002011-05-22T18:59:42.079-04:00If he were six months out his CEO position with Go...If he were six months out his CEO position with Godfather's Pizza, his mistakes on foreign policy might not seem as big. Learning foreign policy takes time, and I understand that a CEO's time is very tightly focused on the business. However, Mr. Cain has been out of the restaurant business since the late 90's. He ran for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia in 2004. He's been doing talk radio for a while. He's had opportunity to educate himself on foreign policy. If he hasn't done so, he either doesn't understand the job of the president or doesn't know how to prepare. <br /><br />I wouldn't draw this conclusion if he had made only one mistake, but the Israel question comes after his fumble on the Afghanistan question in the South Carolina debate. Many experts on Afghanistan and the issues around that region are not in government service right now. They could talk freely with him about the primary issues and facts that are involved. They may still know some secrets that they couldn't share directly, but they could educate Mr. Cain enough to give better answers. Considering his status as a talk radio host, former Senate candidate, and potential leader in the GOP, many of those people would have been happy to talk to him. <br /><br />I like Mr. Cain, but if he can't turn around his answers on these kinds of issues, he's not going to be a viable candidate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
