Obviously the 'Pubbies are getting serious because nothing frightens a Republican more than a Commie sitting in the WhiteHouse.

Indeed. Herman Cain is da MAN...not a politician...but a citizen bent on serving and correcting what he sees wrong from the perspective of serving in the trenches of the working men/women of this nation.

He has my full support.

I was hoping he would get it.
The Libs really hate him.
Lot's of people like him, Conservatives , Moderates and Conservative Dem's.
Now watch the libs are going to bring up the untrue things that has been said about him again.
People want someone in the WH who actually knows something about economics.

Obvious that the media does not have a bullring in the nose of Florida Republicans (maybe unlike alot of other Republican voters).

Career
The Pillsbury Company, Minneapolis, MN, vice president/corporate systems and services, 1977-82; Burger King Corporation, Philadelphia, PA, regional vice president, 1982-86; Godfather's Pizza Inc., Omaha, NE, president, 1986-88, president/CEO, 1988--.

Life's Work
Herman Cain has enjoyed a stellar career in the business world. He became the youngest vice president in the history of The Pillsbury Company in 1977 after just three years with the company. He left this position in 1982 to learn the restaurant business at Pillsbury's Burger King subsidiary. In 1986, his success with Burger King prompted Pillsbury to select Cain to assume the presidency of another of its struggling companies, Godfather's Pizza. Finally, he became the first black president of the National Restaurant Association, the food service industry's leading trade organization.

When Cain started working at a Minneapolis Burger King in 1982, he cleaned toilets and flipped hamburgers. After completing the management training program in only nine months, Cain was named vice president and general manager for the Philadelphia region of the Burger King Corporation. Attaining this position was particularly special for Cain, considering that he and several friends were refused service in a restaurant in 1952 when they attempted to buy a hamburger.

Although there have been many reasons for Cain's business success, he credits maintaining a sharp focus as a key component. The 1997 website for the Business Leadership Summit held at San Joaquin Delta College, Leadership Summit, Inc. stated, "Faith, focus, and follow-through are the ingredients of the successful recipe of Herman Cain." Eric K. Washington in American Visions wrote, "Cain credits a single overriding principle--'focus, focus, focus'--for his success." Cain told Wallace Terry in Parade Magazine, "My philosophy has always been to exceed the expectations of the job." Responding to a question by Policy Review about establishing a successful business in the competitive market Cain remarked, "Because I am a black American, I've had to perform better than my white counterparts. This is a personal standard that I've set for myself: I've got to perform a little better in order to get the same opportunity. I can't just be as good; I've got to be better. It should not be this way, but it is."

After receiving the International Food Manufacturers Association's Operator of the Year/Gold-Plate Award in 1991, Cain was quoted as saying in Restaurant Business, "Success is a journey, not a destination."

Cain's relentless focus and continued striving for excellence turned Godfather's Pizza around when its survival was questionable. And he did it in less than eighteen months. In 1988, Cain purchased Godfather's Pizza from The Pillsbury Company and became president and chief executive officer. In 1995, Godfather's Pizza, Inc. was the fifth-largest pizza chain in the nation.

Despite his successes, Cain does not forget his humble beginnings. His parents, Luther Cain, Jr. and Lenora Davis Cain provided examples of hard work that he would remember the rest of his life. His father at one time worked three jobs: cutting hair in his off hours, working part-time at Coca-Cola as a chauffeur, and working an evening shift as a janitor in a bakery. His mother worked as a domestic. This work ethic would inspire Cain, not only to work hard, but to "rise up singing," as DuBose Hayward's lyrics stated in "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess. Singing would come later in his life. Cain told Wallace Terry in Parade Magazine, "My father never looked for a government program, a government handout. I never heard my father complain about somebody owing him anything. All I ever saw was how hard my father worked to get what he wanted out of life. My mother was my spiritual light--Mom talked to me about God. She taught me that success is not a function of what you start with materially but what you start with spiritually. Those were my beginnings. They have been with me ever since." Cain carried these values through Morehouse College in Atlanta, into his work as a mathematician for the Navy, and later to Purdue University, where he earned a master's degree in computer science.


In 1994, after Cain was elected president of the National Restaurant Association, he proposed several reforms affecting the restaurant business, such as allowing sixteen-year-olds to work past seven o'clock on Friday nights. He also envisioned restaurants of the future that would use architecture, lighting, service, and decor to expose patrons to different geographical regions or eras.

[eflatminor]

I'm still going to vote for Paul in the primary but I'll tell you what, I'd vote for Cain in the general in a heartbeat.

Cain's negatives for me are that I'm really not crazy about opening the door to a national sales tax AND an income tax. He's said it could never go above 9%...but I haven't heard him explain how that could be avoided. I also don't like his support of the Federal Reserve...but that sure isn't going away with any of the other candidates, save Paul. But what do I know, we're all just racists, right?

Anyway, nicely done Herman.
