Brooks is not alone with his eliteist viewpoint. There’s several lower level so called GOP pundits who have that same view. These fools do not realize what a threat Cain is to the established hyphenated democrat Demo-Coms order.
At the very top of the conservative order guys like Limbaugh, Levin,Savage are are supporting Cain in his travail because they realize Cain is a change the Demo=Coms don’t want..
So all that “we the people” is just a bunch of fooey, Mr. Brooks?
What has 25 years of "Professionals" got us?
Tens of millions have lost their homes, businesses, investments, careers etc.
The steady decline of the American standard of living, with a dying economy.
A country intentionally flooded millions of ignorant uneducated Mexicans who are literally choking off our entire system including our electoral process, schools, hospitals, jails, social services, all for dirt cheap labor.
A government who has made American citizenship all but pointless.
A corrupt growing controlling government has sentenced the next 10 generations into a life of debt, while forcing their parents to bail out the super wealthy corrupt.
Yeah, we need more political professionals.
Straight to the video:
An amateur built the Ark
Professionals built the Titanic
We're tired of "professional" politicians.
Brooks considered Obama a professional. What more do you need to know about him and what he thinks?
What the pros are best at is looting the public treasury - which is why we need amateurs to throw them in jail.
David Brooks is a bitter, hyperventilating little bitch when it comes to conservatives.
I think Mr. Brooks’s point was that although Cain appears to be a professional-pol frequency liar, his technique is decidedly amateur.
The best governors this country ever had were non-professionals who believed in non-professional government: Washington, Madison, Adams and Jefferson.
Professional Politicians is precicely why we are in the crapper. Give me an honest human being anyday.
Once Sarah Palin hit the scene, talking like a FReeper, it woke me up to realize that the PP class have been pissing on my leg and telling me it is raining so long that I nodded off. Now when a person can't say something with meaning in 1000 words or less my PP detector goes off.
Pretty much narrows it down to Sarah and Cain so far. Mittins is an obvious Progressive PP Plant, and Mr Texas is the RNC PP Plant, leaving Newt the Old School PP.
We need Americans running America, PP just piss me off.
So sorry to hear about David Brooks being diagnosed with colon-rectal cancer, obviously the brain is being eaten away first.
Brooks is a putz (a fool; an idiot).
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.
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.
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!
But apparently not the job of columnist.
