    A recent spate of polls showed Cain joining Mitt Romney and Rick Perry in the top GOP tier.

    Cain said Sunday that his signature 9-9-9 tax plan would lower taxes for most Americans, but conceded some middle-class-Americans might pay more. The plan would scrap the current federal tax code and replace it with 9% rates for personal income and corporate taxes and add a 9% national sales tax.

    Many independent analysts say Cain’s plan would lower taxes on the rich and raise them for many middle class Americans, but the Georgia businessman disputed those doubts on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

    The main question to ask yourself is “Am I better off than 4 years ago?” If so, keep Obummer. If not, vote him out. On the Republican side, there’s Cain or “more of the same”. Pick one.

    If it make some yidden happy to watch this vaudville clown entertain for a few more weeks, so be it. He is totally lacking in the intellect and experience to lead the country and cannot even explain the basis for his simplistic tax plan which would expose the large percentage of lower and middle class Americans to much higher taxes. He has virtually no knowledge of foreign affairs and was unable to identify the names of the heads of state of our major Allies in a recent interview. There are many talented and experienced Republicans like Huntsman and Romney who are much better than Obama but please stop promoting these circus clowns like bachman, Perry and Cain.

    The only way Obama can win is if the republicans don’t have a serious candidate.

    Another reason why Ron Paul is the only serious candidate. 9.99 plan is great…for a pizza!

    You may be totally right about his ultimate fate in this race, but the convention is a long time from now. The race needs to be run from now until then. There are no foregone conclusions.

    The only way Obama can win is if the republicans don’t have a serious candidate.

    “and totally raised our standing in the world” correct..with the Muslim countries at the expense of Israel. Nothing like bowing before a Saudi King to raise our standing..nothing like telling Israel what to do and haw to do it to court favor with the Arab world.
    Sherry..you sound like a West Coast liberal who no matter what will find Bush to have been bad and Obama to be good…you are allowed your opinions but I respectfully disagree!
    BTW …for someone who expresses solidarity with Jewish people i’m surprised that you can’t see what he is doing to our only true friend in the Mid East to raise his own standing in the Muslim world.
