“We FReepers have vetted Romney for years and more recently we vetted Rick Perry. Now its time to vet Herman Cain. Its necessary. Especially since he has no elective governing or legislative record whatsoever. Like Rush and Hannity, Cain has been a professional talk show host in recent years. That is not the resume of a GOP presidential candidate.”
I’m all for commonsense vetting. I’m against circular firing squads by which FReepers destroy every candidate on the horizon.
You’re going to end up with Romney. You deserve him.
Who’s your guy? Who has survived your vetting so far??????
so there’s no one who meets your standards? Good luck with Obama’s second term.
I can live with Cain. He’s the only non-career politician in the whole bunch. How many times have we insisted that career politicians are the problem. The minute one becomes a serious contender though (how rarely that happens), we join the career politicians in shooting him down. They are laughing their a$$es off at us.
I can live with a number of the others. I just want to defeat Obama. And we ain’t gonna get there by the circular firing squad method.
Let’s keep this up. Fragment, split into a dozen conservativce factions, wait for Mr. Right on a White Horse to come charging in
while Romney sews it all in the next six weeks.
Where will all your hotshot expert vetting be then?
You are concerned about a national sales tax as the camel’s nose in the tent.
I’m scared to death of the endless sniping and fragmenting that conservatives do constantly.
There are no other liberals in the pool right now. Romney has it all to himself. Unless conservatives coalesce around someone,
Romney
is
our
nominee.
So, which of the others is your choice for us to unite around? Which one? Or do you only do demolition, not construction?
Rick Perry has been at the center of that circular firing squad and getting trashed for two months now with gratuitous and outrageous attacks on his conservative record as Governor of Texas and on his personal life. His poor debate performances are a different story and not off base.
So don't whine me a story of how bad Cain is being treated around FR. Cain is getting the same pass that so many FReepers gave to Sarah Palin for the last 3 years. At least Palin had a governing record. Cain has no public record in elected office. Period.
