Americans haven't elected a non-politician potus since Dwight David Eisenhower. All Ike did was be General of the Army, Supreme Allied Commander in WWII, Military Chief of Staff, NATO commander, Military Governor and President of Columbia University.
I see no good reason why any conservative would so easily jump on the campaign bandwagon of someone with NO elective governing or legislative record. I surely have no idea what Cain would do as a congressman, or mayor, or governor, let alone potus. Conservatives I know are discerning in their analysis and skeptical in their support especially for anyone with NO public record whatsoever.
And which of the career politicians will be our savior this time around, in your view?
This is an unusual juncture in American politics. The Tea Party is all about ending the dominance of career politicians. Normally, I’d agree that non-career politicians don’t stand a chance.
And it might be true this time to. What I do know is that another career politician will doom us with finality. I’m willing to take a chance on Cain, even if my first choice might be one of the others.
Go ahead, snipe and demolish. You’ll get Career Politician Romney as your reward. And then you’ll blame exactly whom?
Gee, all those experienced politicians like Lyndon Johnson, Jimmuh Carter, Bubba Clinton, W. Bush, Mike Huckleberry, etc. have done such a great job of reining in cancerous govt. growth.
