His whole campaign has been and continues to be against against the establishment tide, Is anyone other that Ron Paul running a more untraditional race? Is anyone other than Cain NOT a career politician? Perry has done little other than run for this office or that office most of his life. Now EVEN in Texas someone doesn’t spend that much time in politics and NOT become ‘connected’ and yet you want to brand Cain as being on the inside?
A insider doesn’t go without money for long as has been pointed out about Cain. So tell me how can Cain be an insider and Cain can’t raise money at the same time? So which is it?
You want to claim that Cain is an insider working with Mitt, yet it was the insiders that did him in on his senate race so you think he owes them something? Now you have Perry who has now spent most of his adult life running for something or holding this office or that a career politician and yet you don’t think he’s connected? You don’t think he owes people?
The insiders are already whispering that Perry was hand picked by the Republican elite to help Mitt out, they just thought they needed him to handle Bachmann they never did consider Cain a threat until now.
Perry is a ‘connected’ career politician and an ‘insider’that would be far more valuable to Mitt. Perry is a career politician who knows how to get along a ‘Heartfelt’ compassionate conservative who can raise money and brings Texas into the fold for Mitt. Now you tell me where is the value of Cain to Mitt Romney?
judging from what Anita Perry had to say Thursday about how the GOP establishment is treating her husband, I doubt Perry will be a very enthusiastic fundraiser for Romney.
Let's get this straight. Cain HAS RUN before. He lost once, and dropped out the other time.
If he was successful, then he'd be "career." Now he is just an aspiring "politician."
So, no, he is not a career politician--but not for the lack of trying.
