Again. I don't know of any successful businessman who has made a big splash in politics. Do you? The last non-politician to get elected potus was Eisenhower. But Ike's record and resume is full of major positions of leadership in serious historic times.
Aside from personality and good rhetorical skills, I don't see what Cain offers conservatives. There is nothing to measure him on or to grade him on. Cain is moving up on the cult of personality and nothing more.
What? Southern, mainly white, racist conservatives like Herman Cain? Impossible. /sarc
I choose to ignore nothing you are saying,how can one ignore something that the Perry and Paul supporters have flooded this forum for months with?
If you find fault in that I believe that’s your prerogative. I just choose to believe that in the United States one man can still make a difference. That a person can serve this country and not be a career politician beholden to many who holds their agenda above the needs of the country.
Pure projection by the Perry camp. That is exactly the complaint Conservative have about Perry. Other then personality and rhetorical skills, what has Perry offered us? Sure Perry makes great soaring speeches full of nice sounding platitudes. Platitudes are no substituent for plans and ideas.
Cain has offered up a serious Conservative plan for Government reform in 9-9-9. He has offered up a serious plan on immigration, on energy, on reducing the size and scope of Fed Government Power. Cain has demonstrated a fidelity to the 10th Amendment, even when that fidelity caused him grief with activist So ail Conservatives.
What has Perry offered? "Elect me I am a good guy who did some good things in Texas".
Sorry the one coming up short on the ideological, and intellectual, battlefield is Perry.
Stating your opinion as if it were fact is not "analysis" Nice you have feelings, your feelings are not facts. Try actually making a fact base analysis and people will start taking you seriously. Posting "because-I-feel-it-it-must-be-true statements is not "analysis".
What exactly are you talking about? Care to elaborate? FWIW. I haven't seen many Paultards around FR for months. The few I have seen have been of no consequence whatsoever.
Sure he can. He's showing himself to be strong in the South, where Romney is weakest. And, for many, his conservative credentials will take some of the bitter taste out of pulling the lever for Mittens. Plus he puts a crease in the race card that the Dems are sure to play. Romney/Perry, which some deluded folks claim is the Rino Master Plan, does none of that.
Unless Cain shoots himself in the foot, he's the VP nominee. Doesn't have the bucks or the organization to head the ticket. He realizes that and will play nicely with Mitt, IMHO.
He doesn’t stir up the same loyalty and admiration that Sarah did in August, 2008.
But, so far, he isn't tagged with the negatives that she piled up later, so it's at least a wash.
Why? Sincerely. I want to talk about this.
You are an adept twister.
First, with the ellipses. As a private multimillionaire, Cain knows what it is to see the unpleasant business end of the government where it doesn’t belong.
Second, we could point to Democrats who have served that long. Does this make them wise?
Let me say this. I have never knocked Cain's successful business career. Experience in any of lifes endeavors is critical to reaching the highest levels of success in business or politics.
Perry may be a career politician, but he's also a successful conservative Governor. That sends us in one direction on the political experience meter. Cain is on the opposite end of that meter. No experience does not trump serious experience. Never has, never will.
You twisted the meaning what I said with those guilty ellipses; that proves you are a twister.
It looks a whole lot like talk-out-of-both-sides-of-his-mouth-on-illegales “the heart” Perry will give us some kind of amnesty with consummate experience. I’d sooner see a rank amateur nix it.
That depends entirely upon our nominee. I will not support Socialist scum like Slick Willard, nor will I support open borders frauds like La Raza Rick. I won’t be the only one, either.
