Do you go to a doctor who has never worked on a patient before?

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.

And I'll take that one step further. Bush in 2004 ran on the Ownership Society platform. He was re-elected and was deemed to have this large bucket of political capital. He went about attempting to reform SS and the REPUBLICAN CONGRESS stabbed him in the back and started the 2006 downslide.

I like that. What's worse is that they not only don't solve problems they generate problems, sometimes huge ones like the sub-prime mortgage fiasco that almost destroyed our economy. The best way for a politician to solve problems is to pass bills getting the government out of peoples faces.
