I never, NOT EVEN ONCE,said that your picks and Cains are/would be the same. This was just a lesson in why the average citizen isn't ready to be president.

I never claimed that I "know everything".What I have been saying is that YOU don't know enough and neither does Cain!

Coolidge? You're claiming that Silent Cal picked talk show hosts and columnists for his cabinet? REALLY? LOL

You can keep on asking me for "m,y list" until the cows come home; I don't have to post one. That isn't what any of this is about!

And what about judge-ships? How many judges do you personally know? What about advisers?

Come on, just accept my point...............people who don't know about the minutiae of government and don't have advisers who do are left out in the cold; lacking the cornerstones that every president needs. Some presidents make lousy choices, but they still know people who are on their side, whom they trust, and whom they listen to. WHO THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?

Would a GOP run House and Senate pass Steyn for a cabinet post? NEVER! Neither would they pass on many of your other choices. And if you can't figure out why, I'm not going to explain it to you.

Just get a grip...................

“Coolidge? You’re claiming that Silent Cal picked talk show hosts and columnists for his cabinet?”

As you said, “I didn’t get all the cabinet posts listed.”

I only took what Coolidge used.

“You can keep on asking me for “m,y list” until the cows come home; I don’t have to post one.”

Sure, but you demanded that I post one. So I did. Is it perfect? No.

“And what about judge-ships? How many judges do you personally know? What about advisers?”

As for personally? I wouldn’t nominate someone because I knew them personally. The only one that I do know personally who I would consider, is someone I would appoint for a position that got axed.

“people who don’t know about the minutiae of government and don’t have advisers who do are left out in the cold; lacking the cornerstones that every president needs.”

I don’t accept your premise. If we were to take a look at Bush’s choices, would you say they were all the best out there? Nobody should pick people because he knows them or they were in the right frat, but because they are the right person for the job.

“And if you can’t figure out why, I’m not going to explain it to you.”

Still waiting on your list, BTW. :)
