Exactly right, and that’s why Cain’s response should be taken very seriously. He doesn’t seem to fully appreciate the nature of the Federal Government and its relationship to the states. This defect is quite severe when we are discussing electing the nation’s chief executive, charged with executing the laws of the land. If Cain doesn’t understand this fairly straightforward concept, where else is he intellectually and politically lacking?
“If Cain doesn’t understand this fairly straightforward concept, where else is he intellectually and politically lacking?”
I would add philosophically as well. All these ideals have a philosophical underpinnig. I’m not sure Cain understands the basic ideal of free will and what it means to be an individual in the classical sense. I know of one person who does and that’s who I support.
