Survey

Sometimes it is useful to examine the actual data behind surveys. The “Post” shared theirs and that is helpful. See it here.

“Washington Post-ABC News Poll

This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone September 29-October 2 2011, among a random national sample of 1,002 adults, including landline and cell phone-only respondents. The results from the full survey have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by Abt-SRBI of New York.”

Give it a week and another poll. If Cain say's something 'Republican', he'll be down there with Perry in the hierarchy of liberal media polling results.

LOL

As it stands social security is much like a ponzi scheme and will remain so until measure are taken to provide policy that doesn't have a generation paying into what they may never be afforded as a service. This is not a Republicanism. A+ to GOP for bringing this to the public's attention and wanting to fix this for future generations to benefit.

True, Americans should be taking steps necessary so that they are not relying solely on SS to support them in their retirement.This shouldn't be considered a Republicanism. Fail.

No government service should be hijacked by union interest in furtherance of their political power and influence over governing taxpayer paid for services. As this is a liberalism we will call this one true as a Republicanism.

Mexicans with out visas or work permits should be returned until they comply with the law. This shouldn't be a Republican only ism. Fail.

There would be no illegals if the laws were enforced. Same as above. Fail.

We have enough foreigners? If they are Americans they are not foreigners. So I don't know the context of such a statement or for that matter heard it from the GOP.

Every household can have a gun if they want. It's the law. Not a Republicanism. Fail.

Creationism is on par with Darwinism. Both are theories. And there is room for both as long as one or the other doesn't become institutionalized as the one and only theory and the religion of government. Assumes only Republicans are religious. Fail.

Liberalisms not fairing so well on my common sense meter. Hope that doesn't make me an evil Republican by default. LOL.

I don't believe religion in of itself is a fault. Man is a spiritual beast. The fault lies in the weaponization of religion. And like so many other issues, that's a fault of leadership.

Personally I like Cain better than Romney, Perry, or any other current candidates. I also believe Cain would prove the toughest competitor for Obama in a general election. Cain could split the independent and democratic vote more than any of the other candidates also.

Thats it..You see the truth..

Bottom line that these snake republicans are looking closely at right now. The republican insiders and rich donors are trying to decide if these closet racist republicans can swallow having a black represent the republican party in a general election; and still get republican closet racist voters to vote for him in a general election. They know now that Christie won't run and that Cain would be the strongest candidate against Obama in a general election.

Or should they just stick with the weaker candidate in Romney or Perry because they are white and hope for the best..Big question mark for them now..lol

Exactly, problem was Steele, like some black republicans in general, couldn't see the political forest from the trees and realize he was just being used as a token. As soon as the republicans felt they didn't need him anymore after the 2010 elections, he was gone..lol That was just all/only about Obama being elected and the huge loss republicans suffered in 2008. It was so obvious to those who could see through it. Even FOX News bought in all these black republican political commentators..They are all gone now also..lol

Wide open, let's contemplate things that he might say are "Republican."

Social security is a ponzi scheme

True Americans take care of themselves and don't need Social Security

Unions should be outlawed, especially public employee unions

Round up all the Mexicans and send them back

No benefits for any illegals

We have enough foreigners

Every household needs a gun

Creationism is on par with Darwinism

No free lunches...Social Security can be a program administered by private sector firms, selected by individuals, however, as in the case of all essential needs, participation should be mandatory funded as a deduction from payroll.

The Supreme Court will provide some guidance on that in the next year.

Agreed, government services should not be hijacked by unions or PACs.

Agreed that illegals should be sent home.

BS on creationism. You are own your own.

Religion is a pervasive fault, and not my fault.

That may be true, but do you see Republicans going in that direction?

They put an African American, Michael Steele, in charge of their party as they panicked after the Obama win, remember. Then, the guy actually tried to do his job though got caught acting like a "real" Republican.
