Yes, just ask Rick Scott and Ron Johnson. Both excellent conservative newbies.

Good ole windsock Brooks.

Perpetually deluded.

Hopelessly naive.

A eunich by his leftist bosses (I bet Jill Abramson has his two tiny, squishy Orbeez testicles in a jar on her desk).

NY Times house RINO.

Metrosexual NYer.

What Brooks overlooks is Cain's aptitude for succeeding in new situations (that's a specialty of turnaround experts).

I have known a few turnaround guys (my father-in-law was one) and they are very quick at adapting to new environments and new challenges. In fact, they thrive at it.

That is Cain's background.

He may be new at politics, but if his critics believe he isn't learning at an exponential rate...they underestimate him.

Then why did the beginner Kenyon run? IF any person in the history of this Republic was EVER unqualified to be president, it was the Kenyon.

Sarah Palin at the Republican of Florida Party Dinner:

Why should we trust the elite with more responsibility? I know that we are told that they're the smartest boys in the room, and they are pedigreed with the most expensive educations. Makes me wonder, though, If these people are so doggone smart, why are we so doggone broke.

Eat that David Brooks!

And......POTUS Barrack Hussein Obama is a professional, I take it!!! A “professional” that knows nothing whatsoever about American history and does not give a hoot!!! A “professional” that knows nothing about business and the private sector!!! A “professional” that has no class, no diplomacy, bad mouths his country, insults our friends, caters to our enemies and hangs out with folks that wish to destroy America completely. Is that the kind of professional that should run for POTUS??? No thanks, Mr. Brooks!!! Go back into the cesspool you came from!!!

I welcome the day that NPR is de-funded by the pen of Herman Cain.

"Governing" was NEVER intended to be a job for "professionals". It was never intended to be a profession.

The "Professional" (elected) government is part of the problem.

Hey David!
Does “professional” organizer count?

Obama was (is) NOT a professional anything!

He had a machine that cleared the path for him, finding disgraced politicians to run against, and employing questionable financing methods for his campaigns.
How’d his wife’s salary double to over $300 grand for a position so important, they didn’t replace her when she left?

David, if the country was a real corporation, all your professionals would have been fired. Since we the peasants are going to have to pay for all your absolutely poor performance, we are going to get ourselves people who are not so “professional”. After all we, our children, and our grand children may have to pay for all the professionals largesse.

The “professionals” who were trained at Yale and Harvard got us into this cesspool.

Only “amateurs” will be able to get us out of it.

As for David Brooks, he an elitist @sshole of no consequences.He doesn’t even know he just jumped the shark-—again.

To the bird cage liner of record - we don’t give a rat’s patoot what you think.

Your “professionals” have created the mess we’re in through their “professional” approach. And let me remind you, “professional” means “does it for money”.

I cordially invite you to the theological place of eternal punishment.
