There's nearly 3 million Muslims in America and even if only 25 thousand of them out of maybe several hundred thousand who aren't children and have the education and capacity to possibly work in government were hardcore Sharia minded Muslims, I'd call that "many" and "a lot".

Again, what part of him saying he WOULD hire a Muslim after the explanation do you not understand??

Many = a large number of.

1,000 apples out of 3,000 apples.
1,000 apples is a large number of apples.
There are many apples in that bunch.

So neither of you can link to a single example?

Efficient? He can't even explain the simplest of his policy beliefs. Can't explain whether he's pro-choice or pro-life, can't understand how a 9% sales tax bilks the poor when they have to pay that on top of state taxes, has zero understanding of foreign policy. I am begging the republicans to nominate him. He'll get crushed.

he doesn't need to raise a billion dollars to get his message out.

Dude doesn't even understand how a Constitutional amendment gets passed. He's not fit. He's a motivational speaker who's running for president to make a name for himself. He's Sarah Palin with a dick.

I'm no fan of Cain, but that's harsh.

One month I'm an Obama lover, then I'm a conservative Christian, then I'm a liberal, then I'm a libertarian only because I don't want to confess to being a Republican, and then I'm a socialist, etc. ad infinitum. I get absolutely sick of people more interested in repeating talking points and throwing out labels instead of actually discussing the issue.

To answer the big question that I'm so sure that everyone has been dying to know though... Socially, I'm pretty liberal. Economically, I lean very slightly to the right, but I'm about as centrist as you can get. My current view is that corporatism and our desire to be the world police is the cancer in Washington. Anyways...

For years I Thought I was liberal because I'm pretty open minded..

He's going to take off Once the real shit starts and the lay person starts paying attention to this shit. Right now the vast majority could care less who's running.

Cain has Hannity, Beck, Savage, Limbaugh, Cavuto, and Culter only just beginning to voice their support as they've just recently learned about him and begun liking him and his stances. He's going to pull at least a third of the black vote and probably more.

It's silly to make such a definitive prediction with so much time left anyways.

So did Bachman and then Perry....blah blah blah.

Romney will win the nomination because he is the most moderate. That's who wins the general election the moderate.

Also stop quoting straw polls they have never been an indicator of who wins the presidency. The winner of the straw poll is the one who buys the most votes. Bachman won the Ames poll two months ago and now her whole NH staff has quit on her. Cain will fade by Christmas.

You should change your name to Non Sequitur. I'd like to think I'm better than most when it comes to detecting sarcasm, but you baffle me.
