I can see that the blogger likes him as I can see that many bloggers here like him.
I am trying to understand why I should like him, too.
Believe it or not, I am not sold on Perry, but I am not willing to vote for Cain ‘on faith’.
As Reagan said, “Trust, but verify.”
That is all well and good, but that it not what you wrote earlier. You wrote that nobody seems to know who he is or why they like him, and that is a fairly common comment around here in the past few days. It is starting to appear that some folks want to marginalize Cain by painting his support as blind and/or shallow.
"Believe it or not, I am not sold on Perry, but I am not willing to vote for Cain ‘on faith’."
There is absolutely no reason for me to believe you or not about being sold on Perry ... I didn't mention Perry or respond to anything that you wrote about Perry. I haven't the first clue what you think about Perry.
Herman Cain is a good man and I am supporting him fully at this point in the race. However, I'm not going to be one of the freepers that abuses everybody that doesn't support him.
Lord knows that the Guiliani and Palin followers on this forum did their candidates more harm than good with their attacks. After first being really high on Palin, I cooled-off significantly after enduring attack after attack for simply trying to explore and question her record. That wasn't Palin's fault, but she either benefited or suffered from the actions of rabid fans.
Hope that whomever you choose to back in the primaries is a solid conservative. That is what would benefit the country right now and in the long run.
