Funny, you say it is a strawman to bring up 'keep electing career politicians' yet you then you want someone with history "in elective office". As for business experience, I'll argue it is exactly what we need. Business is accountable to keep their books in order, politicians aren't. Business is accountable to show results. Politicians aren't. Business succeed when they reduce expenses, maximize profits, and turn around successful products. Politicians are exactly opposite. The business model of government is to maximize expenses, have negative profits, and are rewarded when what they are selling fails.
I go back to the definition of insanity because that is exactly what I'm seeing.
I do see your Paultard roots are showing though. Tear down whomever isn't your preferred choice. What I see with most Cain supporters is they would be happy also with a Palin, Bachmann, West or many others and don't tear them down.
I made the distinction between career politicians and someone who has served in some capacity in elective office up thread. It's up to you to figure it out.

All true to some degree. But businesses only affect a certain group of people. Politicians answer to everyone. A guy like Cain cannot sell limited government and less spending to Congress & the people than say a Sarah Palin. He'll get eaten alive by the Democrats and liberal media and will be forced to compromise.

Well, let's just run anyone off the street for Presidency. My post also applies to Donald Trump as well. People don't support businessmen for President without having served in public office first. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

Not tearing down anyone. I'm just stating that Cain will split the conservative vote and we get a RINO for the nominee.
