Looking back at American history, Herman Cain has a lot in common with George Washington. Washington never really wanted, nor actively sought out the top military leadership role in our fight and war for independence from Great Britain.
He was, like all of us a flawed man, to a degree, with many mistakes, shortcomings and failings in both his personal and military life. Brash actions in conflicts, a French diplomat killed while on diplomatic mission, witnessing the death of his sixteen year old step daughter in his arms, all served to mold and form Washington into the future great leader he became.
Upon receiving the top command, he continued to be haunted by this trail of stumbles throughout the campaigns and battles of Revolutionary War. But……little by little, bit by bit, miscue after miscue, mistake after mistake, Mr. Washington through experience and leadership, developed into, both a mature and wise leader of, first the Continental army, and later the nation itself.
And…..as a leader who often sought the advice of others, he wisely heeded the counsel of his French allies to engage the British army at Yorktown, Virginia, rather then New York, where he had previously been beaten badly by the British enemy…
And yes, like all great men and women, he effectively learned to choose a team of subordinates that were able and vastly capable of supporting him, in battle, in administration and wise counsel…
Such a man was George Washington, the man, the war leader, the first President …..of America. And as the work in progress continues and America has an opportunity to bring a man to the fore that will forge us all into one nation with equality, freedom and liberty for all citizens.
Such a man is Herman Cain.

How so?
Is that the game where you try to get pellets by mashing on hippos?
Cain can be president of Mensa.
Forrest for the trees, babe.
BTW, are you saying you make your decisions on which politician to support based on a post made by a Freeper that you dont even know in real life? Thats pretty weak.
It has no basis in fact that’s how so. Otherwise I suppose you would name the FReepers you’re insulting.
Call it a notion. A Nagging notion.
I accused no one. I only stated a notion.
Which exists only in your mind. Thus the evidence that it is projection.
The sooner we get beyond race and gender the better off this world will be.
That is what I believe, in my heart.
Ok,
You don’t have to wait anymore. Most of the rest of us have.
I'm the one who used "Hymietown" in reference to J Jackson's racism. I had never heard the term before. I don't have a problem with miss m because she is Jewish but because she is obnoxious.
Miss m seems to be paranoid so I stopped caring what she thinks a long time ago.
Trust me...she never gets a point so you're wasting you time with her.
I had an interesting conversation last night about how people of like minds who agree on 99% of things can get sideways with one another over 1%
I feel like we are getting sideways of one another on FR as of late.
Yes, babe, when I see bigots posting about their favorite candidate (and not being castigated by others), I tend to think the guy running for President might not be such a good guy. After all, one is known by the company one keeps.
P.S.: Forest has one “r” unless you are talking about Forrest Tucker, star of “F Troop.”
Perhaps you can take comfort in this thought; everything is temporary.
Are you referring to me? Thanks for the courtesy ping.
BTW, have I discussed my candidate?, I thought this thread was about Herman Cain and how he is like George Washington.
Sorry if I didn’t notify you. You are a Perry supporter, not a negra supporter.
Fair enough.
I see you have me defined. LoL
