Herman Cain for President!




Tea Party favorite and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain has all but announced an official 2012 presidential bid – he’s told several news media he’s seriously considering it but has not yet made it official.

What some Tea Partiers don’t know about Cain, a superstar within the Tea Party movement, is where he stands on some of the most important domestic and foreign policy challenges facing the country. So, The Daily Caller asked him his views in what could be considered a “presidential vetting interview.”

Herman Cain would suspend taxes on repatriated profits, which he said would encourage foreign companies to create jobs in the United States and he would have lowered the capital gains tax rate to zero.

“We now have no idea what our taxes are going to be January 1, 2011,” Cain told TheDC. “That’s not only bad policy, it’s irresponsible. The business community, the people who create jobs, they want some certainty. All of the policies of this administration have created more uncertainty.”

“Politics have had too big a part to play in how we handled working in Afghanistan. General [David] Petraeus and the other generals should decide on the rules of engagement, not politicians and that has been part of the problem,” Cain said. “He [President Obama] is not qualified to write a military strategy. That’s not leadership. Listen to the military experts. That’s my approach to handling war and international conflict.”

In terms of handling immigration issues, Cain said he would, first and foremost, secure the U.S. border with Mexico. “I don’t buy this malarkey that we can’t secure the border,” Cain told TheDC. “I don’t buy this malarkey that we don’t want to offend our southern neighbors. Neither this administration nor the previous administration got serious about securing the border. I don’t know why the previous administration didn’t get serious about securing the border but they didn’t.”
