Cain, Romney and Obama in a Virtual Tie

Hi and Welcome back,

Herman Cain is smiling because he is the man with a plan!

Why is Herman Cain smiling today?  Herman Cain is smiling because he is the man with a plan, and his plan seems to be gaining traction!

Did you hear?  In the latest Quinnipiac poll, Herman Cain has pulled into a virtual 3 way tie with Mitt Romney and Barack Obama in the race to become Americas Next President!  Yes, it’s the same Herman Cain that has proposed overhauling the tax code and the IRS with his “999″ plan.  He seems to have hit some nerves and caught the attention of the electorate. Herman claims this plan would help alleviate the budget shortfall, eliminate capital gains tax, the death tax, and when combined with making the federal government the “right size”, will eat into and eventually do away with the national debt.

There are still those that say he can’t be president because he doesn’t have any experience.  Some of those same people are attacking Mr. Cain’s “999″ plan as unworkable because it’s too simple.  His argument is the government is too complicated and too involved in each and every persons life, therefore it needs to be downsized and simplified.

After Monday night’s Republican Presidential Debate and the other candidates going after him because of his new front-runner status, Mr. Cain said “You know you must be doing something right when so many are shooting arrows in your back.”  “This is the first time arrows have felt this good!” (more…)

Freedom Not Worth Having

Gandhi and Nehru together in 1929

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”   – Mahatma Gandhi

When you combine this idea with George Washington’s warning against putting party before country, well it’s not too hard to see that as a nation, the United States has veered dramatically from the course our founding father’s set for the it.

They created a nice plan, including rules to run the government with, and the people we have elected, or allowed to be elected, just couldn’t bring themselves to follow that plan!  Maybe America’s Next President will get us moving back in the direction of the intended path! (more…)

The Field of 2012 Presidential Challengers

Hi and Welcome back!

The race starts here

I wanted to ask you a question today.

“Ok, what is it that you want to ask?”, I hear you saying to yourself.

The question is, What do you think of the current field of Presidential candidates?

Are you pretty excited about any of the folks that have declared “I would like to be President of the United States!”

There have already been a fair amount of people declare that they are in it to win it.
