Herman Cain Wasn't the Savior of the Republic (Vanity)
Self | 12/3/12 | Self

Posted on 12/03/2011 12:22:28 PM PST by Lou Budvis

Although I understand why Cain supporters feel let down and disappointed, I don't understand those who are thowing up their hands, conceding the election to 0bama, and declaring the end of the Republic.

Where was there any evidence that Cain had capabilty and experience to lead the Nation?

Did he have years of fighting the good fight with the scars to prove it? No. Compare the battles Sarah Palin fought even before 2008.

Since he is a radio commentator, was he a leading voice of conservative thought? No. If you want a radio host with a thorough understanding of the Constitution and gov't, Mark Levin would be a better choice.

He didn't have a distinguished military career like Col. West. Working on weapons gives you no geo-poltical experience as to when to use them. Oppenheimer may have been the father of the A-bomb, but he was never qualified to decide when to use it.

Finally, if his business experience was in manufacturing or finance, he would have a better understanding of what it will take to bring America back. But,the US doesn't need anymore fast food joints.

He added to the debate for sure, but he wasn't the end all be all.

You believe the media smears without much thought don't you? I will bet that there are several women or Men in your life that need money, and are less than stellar people. Anyone could give lots of money to them,and have them say that they had unnatural sexual relations with you on many occasion's. You would fiercely deny,but by the time you looked around the innuendo has done it's damage. Nobody will believe you,why would they? These people do not have to prove anything, they take their money in cash,then slowly disappear,and are never made to pay for their lies for cash deal.

I’m not looking for a savior, just somebody who will save us from the “saviors.”

“We simply want a responsible adult who can PRESIDE over its administrative functions, without deliberately destroying our economy, culture, and national security. “

I want someone we can be proud of and say, hey look! We have a really fricken cool prez! He’s an amazing guy.

We had that in Cain. Maybe that’s not important to you, but it is to me. That comes along so rarely, that it’s really something else.

I was too young for the reagan years. I remember him vaguely, but by the time I was old enough, it was only later that I came to understand just how special he was.

Perhaps it was too much in this day and age to get another Reagan. Perhaps it was too much to even expect another honest and decent man like President Bush.

Perhaps not.

If Cain had become president, we would have surrendered to France by 2014.

So now the surrender will be to Mexico.

Exactly right, I know that at least two of these other candidate group supporters have no idea what is in store for their candidate. These candidates have some really nasty stuff that will be brought out soon, and there will be shock as to why they never knew these problems.

I think the big “turning point” was the Milwaukee editorial board interview. Cain just brain-farted it and looked totally lost. THAT (IMHO) was the incident when inertia took over and the comments of “not ready for prime time” started to snowball.

Much like what Palin discovered, to become POTUS is a long, sticky, and stinky process. You need to get a lot of ducks in a row, have an infrastructure, play the game and have some luck in the process. Just to get to the point of saying “I’m running” is a long quest within itself. Many candidates in the past had to spend a lot of “background” work kissing babies, making speeches, meet-and-greets, meeting local leaders and eating a lot of rubber chicken dinners.

Apparently someone didn’t like my post and had it deleted. Waiting for my other one to be deleted as well.

A pity. There was so much more that could have been said.

Why are you bashing Newt over what happened to Cain? in the beginning Newt was the ONLY candidate that took up for Cain...like it or not they are friends. Newt bashed the media for digging up dirt on gop candidates while they ignore all the garbage with Obama. On the gop side...it was Paul, Bachmann that went after Herman Cain.

You think your candidate will survive even 24 hours once just the things I know surface?

I think you better do some research and ask some Texans that do not support Jimmy rick and why they dislike him so much.

“I thought you’d never stop!”

I KNOW! I never do. I even had more to say but opted to be sensitive.
