Sorry, but we've seen where this conventional wisdom that the candidate "must have this experieince...yada...yada" has gotten us.

It has gotten us the fiasco of the Obama Presidency when that "conventional wisdom" was ignored.

The American voters were reckless enough to ignore that "conventional wisdom" once but the American voters, especially in these very troubling times and after the Obama's first term, are not about to be that reckless two Presidential elections in a row. At least Obama will now be able to claim four years of experience instead of ZERO experience.

If Cain is on the ticket, he would have to be in the VP slot so that, at least, it could be claimed that, if elected, he would getting OJT as the second string quaterback in the first elected office he has ever won in his life.

Now c’mon — it’s not Obama’s lack of political experience that is the problem, it’s his wealth of socialist views that is the problem. His lack of experience has zip, zero, nada to do with the problems we face.

In fact, his legislative successes are what is killing us. If he had more experience and had been “more successful” then America would be even worse off than we are now.

False analogy.

Nice try, but it's also kept establishment types like Boehner, McConnell, and Cantor in positions of power allowing Obama to pass laws without a fight! Seems you forgot the bill that the Boehner led House sent to the president (with the assistance of Mitch McConnell in the Senate) that effectively lowered our credit rating from AAA to AA+, giving the president over 1 trillion dollars, with NO reduction in spending. Its this conventional wisdom that the GOP establishment adheres to that says; "compromise at any cost..." that has us in the sorry arse state we are today as a nation and a party. Sorry, if you were correct in your assertions, the Tea Party would've never been born.

Lets also not forget, Obama is a socialist and had a known past of hanging out with domestic terrorists and radicals. Cain is a hard working American who has contributed in great ways to this country.

Sorry, but you make one lame, weak-a$$ argument.
