Huge point you made there. NOW is the chance, before Iowa, to coalesce. If we don’t make dang sure that Iowa and SC bring out one strong non-Romney, we have to send a ton of money to him or her now. Or soon. Seriously.
We don’t have a Perfect Candidate. They don’t exist, and a lot of good people don’t want the job.
One of this pack is strong, conservative, and a refreshing outsider, and that is Herman Cain. He is bold enough to stand up to the media, and he’s proved that. He can do what we want, which is to tell and show Americans that constitutional conservatism works best for all Americans to have a chance at a good life.
Perry and gingrich have too much pity for bad guys. According to their stance on illegals, if they find a terrorist who’s had a family, or who’s been here a long time, why, it would be cruel to remove him from his family. Good thing they weren’t at osama’s compound with seal team 6.
Seriously, Cain could beat Obama. He is more real and likable than Obama. There is the same race so that becomes moot for all but liberals. And it’s the apolitical ( better term than independents) whom we need to convince. A lot of them have been hurt by Obama.
I think Cain is our best shot at besting Obama.
Cain is a nivr guy, but he isn’t ready for “prime time”.
I actually respect Newt more after last night. He knew he would take heat for his position but he made a reasonable statement about illegals.
There is so much hate on this forum for illegals that some of us would vote for a ‘kill on sight’ candidate.
That will not happen. We should look at this problem reasonably and figure out a way to handle it that’s possible and (sorry) humane and practical.
The current administration has shot down every state that tried to do something on its own. That’s why Perry stayed out of that for now.
I cannot stand Cain. He’s just not capable and not totally a nice person imo.
