Running a Pizza company where the toughest decision is to open or close a Pizza joint and to increase or reduce the price of a Pizza is not a qualification to run the most powerful government in the history of mankind. The decisions that the President make affect the lives of all Americans and in many cases the entire world and Pizza CEO does not qualify to make these decisions the same way a community organizer showed us that he does not qualify to do this. Having a degree in Math does not qualify someone to be a President. Being a good debater does not qualify someone to be President because a President does not enact polices in 30 seconds sound bites and does not negotiate with Congress in 3 seconds zingers, Presidents do not govern by debates.
If Herman Cain is the nominee, I would not vote for President on the ballot. I would just vote for Congress and the elected offices down the ballot.
Your ignorance of Cain's resume is total. Rather then continue to scream this same ignorant bile on thread after thread, try actually learning some things about Cain
Thank you for proving the point. Your opposition to Cain is wholly emotional and is not based on any rational thought
Welcome to Free Republic!
Freeping since Sep 21, 2011.
Have you ever held public office?
Do you think you have the skills and mental accumen to replace Obama?
Being 35 and a natural born citizen qualifies you to be president. Being a math major, rocket scientist, self-made success, multiple-time CEO, talk-show host, brilliant conservative qualifies you to be an excellent president. Shove off, noob.
Right!
George Washington and the Founders should never have been President.....they had no political experience whatsoever.
Citizen representatives is what this nation was based upon, not career politicians.
You drank the Kool-Aid.
Well that's good news, one less vote for Hillary.
I doubt that
“Having a degree in Math does not qualify someone to be a President. Being a good debater does not qualify someone to be President because a President does not enact polices in 30 seconds sound bites and does not negotiate with Congress in 3 seconds zingers”
You obviously misunderstand the nature of the office of the presidency. Cain has real world experience and has demonstrated that he can get millions of voters to rally behind his plan.
Perry has demonstrated that he can’t even EXPLAIN his plan. He is automaticaly disqualified. Even if you assume that he is not a closet democrat (which he is), he will never be able to garner enough support to implement any of his policies. He inherited the governorship without a fight and had a rubber stamp legislator at his disposal. This background will get him killed in Washington.
He and his wife are already crying in public because of the bad treatment they are getting from the MSM. They should just go home. Washington D.C. ain’t Texas.
Records don't matter. It only matters what he says he's going to do!
Running a Pizza company (...) is not a qualification to run the most powerful government in the history of mankind.
Why the hell not? Being a community organizer is qualification enough.
Having a degree in Math does not qualify someone to be a President.
Why the hell not? A law degree from Harvard is qualification enough.
And besides that ... jumping on the Cain Train with The Hermanator! sounds freaking cool as hell!
(Conservatives behaving like 2008 libtards in love with Hope-n-Change disgusts me. It's the height of hypocrisy.)
Did I say that out loud?! Whoops! I meant, er, um, ...
Mmm-mmm-mmm Her-man-Cain!
Mmm-mmm-mmm Her-man-Cain!
Mmm-mmm-mmm Her-man-Cain!
**..the most powerful government in the history of mankind***
I think you have identified the problem. Time to make this behometh less intrusive, less expensive, less controlling and more dedicated to the life and liberty of citizens.
Isn't that the perfect description of a politician?
Sure, they tell you how they are going to fixe everything from the economy to healthcare, but what is their real experience? Running for political office.
In a real sense, Cain has more practical experience than any of the politicians running. Cain has "worked on patients", he has fixed real problems.
Heck, I've been hired as a salesman serval times. I'm a lousy salesman, but I'm great at getting hired as salesman.
Politicians are lousy problem solvers, they're just good at getting hired as problem solvers.
If Herman Cain is the nominee, I would not vote for President on the ballot. I would just vote for Congress and the elected offices down the ballot.
ANY DECISION Cain would make would be far wiser than anything the current POTUS would make. It’s “voters” like you who gave us Obama! If you want to finish the destruction of America, then be my guest. Unfortunately, all of us have to suffer what YOU deserve!
are you aware that so-called “professional politicians” are the ones who got us into this mess?
You show an incredible ignorance about what the CEO of a substantial corporation does, but put that aside. Even if people agreed with you about Cain's experience, who would we be left with? Certainly not Perry or Romney who have no experience in foreign affairs and their being governors historically is a very strong negative indication for being a good president.
The only ones left would be Gingrich or Paul. Do you really think the Republicans should endorse Paul or Gingrich?
Our Country was not set up to be "ruled" by professional politicians. Unfortunately we did not heed the warnings of our Founders and find ourselves burdened with an incredibly huge, oppressive central government. The only thing that will change it is good people from outside the corruption that is Washington, and people who have experience "turning around" failing organizations are especially valuable.
You can elect people like Jimmy Carter over and over again because of their "executive experience" but the result will be the same and it would be "insane" to do it. I'll take my chances with a smart, experienced, principled outsider like Herman Cain.
3 weeks on FR?
You are late to the party!!
Better be bringing a 24 pack...a 6 pack or a 12 pack won’t pass muster!
There are so many empty spaces in your argument that Freepers will poke into!
We are tired of lifetime politicians.
I would gladly vote for a person who has a wide range of experience, military-business-finance and who has NOT obtained political baggage that must come along with him .
Every other candidate has ‘owezeeys’ to a myriad and long list of prior supporters.
Not a big job to decide where or when to open a pizza joint? Not a big job to decide what to charge for a pizza??
Boy, you sure are telling us you don’t know anything about business. Whether it is a plumbing supply house, a grocery store or a ‘pizza joint’, as you call it, there are lots of thoughtful decisions involved.
None of those decisions are made in a vaccuum—careful, decisive thought is involved.
Where to locate the store?
How much is the rent?
What is the traffic that store & others in the area generate?
Will other vendors in that area create walk-in business for my operation?
What is the local labor force capable of?
Are they willing WORKERS who will show up past 1 or 2 weekly paychecks & be properly groomed & personally sanitary enough to prepare food? Or will they mostly be unable to pass the drug tests I demand for employees?
What are the local & state taxes I will have to pay?
What are the local permits processes like & how much are their built in delays going to obstruct my plans? Some smaller communities can delay your permits for years & you will go elsewhere.
What amount of advertising will I have to pay for in advance to generate a customere base?
What are my sources locally for my needed fresh ingredients for my pizzas & salads? Can I get a complete array of soft drink products that my customers wish to have? In some areas of Oregon, you cannot find a single restaurant that carries Coca Cola products. It is only Pepsi.
How stable is the local economy to substantiate my initial investment in this location & to justify keeping it going?
The minutae of detail in running ANY kind of business is not a joke. The details in the paperwork alone is staggering.
That is another reason why American business is so wary of Barry the Imposter.
Perry has lots of good things he is capable of. He also has a solid state legislature behind him on most items.
Supporting Perry is your right.
IF YOU have his ear, you might get him to see a broader picture on ILLEGAL intruders. That issue alone is hurting the entire country.
OK so in a nutshell, you don’t think Cain is qualified to be President so you will refuse to vote for him against a President who has demonstrated himself to be unqualified and despite his four years in office, still less qualified than Cain.
Got it.
