Real simple Treasure,I am an American,as such the two party system is all I know and all I am really comfortable with.Now in order for that to lead to a healthy vibrant political atmosphere we need two healthy vibrant parties...each tamping down the excesses of the other. The Republican party,particularly the conservative and religious right wings of the party,are in danger of reducing one of the parties to a status below healthy and vibrant.That is not good for my country,it is not good for our children and it certainly isn't good for the Republican Party. Irrelevance is just around the corner folks,last Presidential election the Repubs gave us Palin,now they give us Cain ? WTF, allow him enough time on the stage and we will be stuck with this no nothing the same way we are stuck with Palin's ridiculous commentary on issues she dent begin to understand. A better question Treasure,one that could be asked of both you and Firm is....why don't you care that a leading candidate for your parties nomination to be President didn't know that China had nuclear capabilities? China is sort of a big deal here in the new millennium ,post USSR ,age.......no?

Look`n bad Firm.... Can you axplain the figures or give us some plausible reasons why these figures are not damming?

Firm Well, if you look at the link I posted with the complete numbers, you'll see that while Cain was running things, one year the industry itself grew 10% while Godfather's Pizza dropped 5%.... I think if Cain is so damn proud of his 'success', he'd post audited balance sheets for us to verify his claims.

Well you are of course free to make that determination treasure....I won't lose any sleep over it at all.Of course given that position I am free to deduce that you have no argument,of substance ,to make...hence the impugning of my motives for having asked the question. Sorry to have bothered you....but I seem to recall you engaged me first.[8\|]

Why are you being so closed minded to examining cain's performance at g/f?

I have tried to do so with both you and your alter ego on numerous occasions to no avail.
