I'll let you be the judge. Please go to the article to read the whole thing, this is an excert of the middle two paragraphs, chosen because they were the middle two paragraphs and had what I deemed to be the most information -- there was good and bad stuff in the other paragraphs as well though, and I'm not an editor.
The Presdident of the United States wouldn’t need an Attorney General, a Secretary of Defense, or a State Department if he/she were able to do EVERYTHING.
It is nice when the Chief Executive has a photographic memory - but it isn’t necessary.
What is absolutely required is an individual of solid moral values and principles working for citizens in the White House.
You realize you're talking about Mark Steyn, right?
Not an unreasonable expectation at all. We already have a candidate like that: Newt. But because he is not perfect (and because he once sat on a couch with Nancy Pelosi in an effort to open up across-the-aisle communication) he is considered an also-ran.
Cleverer politicians will “cram for the test,” and pretend to have an interest in all these issues, even when they don’t.
Cain’s sin is being honest. But that might actually help him in the long run.
Sometimes I think Kraut and Rove have a little confab everyday with the GOP leadership so they have their attack points straight.
I think we need to remind Mark that we presently have a president that gets “wee-weed up” and has publicly given his opponents the finger.
Steyn’s obviously a racist. /s
Steyn, with his screechy British accent, is nothing but a RINO stooge and an agent of influence. Obviously he must be taking orders from some neo-cons like Rove, Kristol and Brit Hume. Clearly, the destruction of Herman Cain now is Steyn's highest priority.
Next thing you know, Steyn probably will abandon his wife and elope to England with arch-CINO Ann Coulter!
Looks like Steyn is participating in the attack against Cain. Woohoo! Who didn’t expect this would happen? Steyn is part of the GOP establishment, and he promotes the establishment’s Candidate du jour by fighting along the flank, and chipping away at the edges of whichever tea party candidate is leading the pack.
It doesn’t matter that the establishment candidate he promotes has been hiding out and has refused to do the tough media appearances that Cain has done. For a shallow analyst like Steyn, that type of risk averse behavior is respectable. It sure helps eliminate the opportunity for “so called” gaffes. Gaffes that are so subtle and inconsequential, they have to be documented and advertised through broadside attacks from establishment pundits.
Steyn gives the whole game away when he said that our politicians should “pretend” to be experts even when they’re not. What’s he’s saying is they should lie to us, they should be politically correct, and they should play the establishment game. No thanks Steyn; we’ve got that President already.
Oh, for crying out loud! This is Mark Steyn. He has lived in and paid taxes in America forever. He is raising his children here. He may opine. He is a conservative, and I for one appreciate him immensely.
Herman Cain needs to bone up on information. He needs to bone up on world events and leadership. Right now, he is only taking flack from other republicans, but if he makes it through the primaries, he will be going up against Obama, and the gloves will be coming off. This is a reminder from the right, and Cain would be well advised to listen and learn, if he really wants to be President of the United States.
Steyn has always been an establishment guy, like Mark Davis, but with an accent.
I’m assuming you’re being sarcastic.
I wonder about the inconsistencies in his philosophy and the gaps in his interests, too.
How could a talk show host who has said he is pro-life, who has run for office in the past, mess up the “government should stay out of it” reply so spectacularly?
And why is he getting a pass on all his jokes and statements that he wasn’t wrong, but “that’s the end of it?”
