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.

So the company that the candidates keep includes anonymous posters on Free Republic?
No oneder (like that mis-spelling?) you missed the point of mylife’s post. I think you really are paranoid.
God Bless us one and all.
Thanks. I’ll leave it alone from now on.
When you learn to write comprehensible English, I’ll read your posts.
Porque eres tan intellegente
.George Washington was a friend of mine.

.I knew George Washington well.

.I know it gives my age away, but who cares!

.And I agree, Herman is same as George with a much better tan and much better teeth. No wooden teeth in Herman’s mouth.
When a corporation fails to trim excessive payroll, guess what happens?

Everybody loses their jobs when the corporation goes belly up.

.Unless one has worked in higher levels of a corporation, that concept is unfathomable to many other folks.
I thought you would understand the JJ reference. When you didn't, I explained it. You still didn't get it.
I don't care what you think, what you understand or don't understand, and I really don't care who you vote for!
Are you aware that it doesn't matter who the GOP nominates because you live in a state that will vote Democrat regardless?
Go wallow in your misery.
It's not every American woman, certainly, but there are an exceptional few who excel at this sort of constant scam, and they all meet the profile, where Cain's personality simply doesn't measure up to a serial molester.
Hey, taking Godfather's private, using a leveraged buyout and a consortium of investors to buy out Pillsbury is kinda like declaring independence from the British Empire, forming an army and winning a revolutionary war. And what is his resignation from Godfather's to become CEO of the National Restaurant Board akin to if not Washington stepping down as the head of the army?
I see. I thought you meant like “Political machine”. Details of how government works can be learned.
Character and dedication to and understanding the Constitution is much more important. Much of the way the government works now, it ought not to.
And I’m telling you that using the Hymietown reference was a slur against me and New York - and you meant it. You Texans have got to update yourself on Jewish slurs - not every one originates from the mouth of Jesse Jackson. Calling a Jew a “Hymie” is as old as anti-semitism.
You are a bigot and a jerk.
Yeah that was BS. You’ve been pretty reasonable as I’ve encountered you.
Right on! Bump. I love it.
Yup, but don’t claim that you created jobs if you meted out austerity.
You wear your feelings on your sleeve like a damn liberal. Grow up. Basing your decisions on emotional reaction is no way to go through life.
LOL - looks like a few people knew which buttons to push on yet another arrogant, emotion-driven yankee.
They make good chew toys sometimes, don't they?
Kudos!
Nomm Nomm Nomm Nomm....
This is a bad day to be an ankle-nipping bully-wannabe on FR.
Another one of the worst offenders is getting the smackdowon on a different thread. :-)
