All your going to do is get Romney elected. Thanks.
Because beyond 999 and Herman Cain is a “real conservative”, there’s really not a lot to talk about in depth about Cain. No political record does that, but you can fill it with skittles and unicorn farts and make it magical.
Look up hypocritical in the dictionary and you will find your post there.
No, as a Cain supporter I don't need to do that, anymore than I need to explain why he would be a better president than Michele Bachmann or Rick Santorum.
I only need to explain why I think Herman Cain would make a good president.
The height of hypocrisy! The queen of Perry supporters with the very first post on a thread about Cain, complaining about Cain supporters getting on Perry threads.
You are really too much!
I would refer you to the 1980 presidential election. The same spin was used against Reagan. Polls showed a significant percentage of Americans weren't sure Reagan was up to the job of being president. His ideas were too radical, and he was too much of an outsider to get anything done in Washington.
By the time election day came along, the American people had gotten to know more about Reagan. He won in a landslide, and the things that made people worry (an outsider with radical ideas) are the very things that made him a great president.
By the time elction day rolls around, the country will know more than enough about Cain that they can confidently vote for him. And like Reagan, the things that now make people wonder about Cain (and outsider with radical ideas) are the very things that will make him a great president.
Simple answer: Cain is more conservative than Anita.
He's against illegal immigration, for starters.
First, there is no reason that Rick Perry is the benchmark for any candidate to compare to. Second, the better question is "Why will your candidate be more likely to win the GOP nomination?"
Interestingly, the thread article answers most of this question in regards to Rick Perry .....
In contrast, Perry left this group cold.
On the fifth-grade exercise, eight of the 12 wrote down “bully” as the kind of kid he reminded them of.
“Annoying,” said Lisa Cedrone, an independent voter who supported Obama in 2008 and is undecided today.
Like it or not, a majority of the American voting electorate of 2012 are ill-informed on the substantive issues and the "likability" factor will loom large, in addition to the "articulate" factor. Unfortunately, it is American Idol Elects A President [Exhibit A: 2008 POTUS election].
Herman Cain is likable and articulate, in addition to being authentically conservative.
As is often the case, the parts cut out of the story are more important than the parts left in.
Confirming what the Gallup polls have found, Cain was seen as the most likable of all the candidates in the race, a people person, a hard-working businessman, a potential problem solver and, tellingly, someone who many said would be a good neighbor. “He’s Main Street,” said Becky Leighty, a Republican. “He’s not Wall Street, and he’s not a politician.”
At one point, Hart asked the participants to think back to fifth grade and the types of students they had encountered. From a list that included descriptions such as “teacher’s pet,” “loner,” “hard worker,” “nerd” and “know it all,” Hart asked them to write down which most applied to Cain, to Romney, to Perry and to Obama.
The majority described Cain as the classmate who was the “hard worker,” with the others saying he was the “all-American kid” or “the kid everyone respects.”
In contrast, Perry left this group cold. If Perry is the person many GOP strategists believed was destined to challenge Romney for the nomination, no one had given that memo to these Ohioans.
On the fifth-grade exercise, one described Perry as the “star athlete,” but eight of the 12 wrote down “bully” as the kind of kid he reminded them of. When the discussion turned to other attributes, he was described as the kind of neighbor others would not want to mess with, or someone who would build a fence around his own property, or someone who would be in everybody else’s business.
“He wouldn’t be on the casserole committee,” said Sydney Mathis, a Democrat.
“Annoying,” said Lisa Cedrone, an independent voter who supported Obama in 2008 and is undecided today.
Voters like Herman Cain as a person.
“problem solver”, “good neighbor”, “hard worker”, “all american kid”, “kid everyone respects”—all things you would say about someone you like and respect.
Voters do not like Rick Perry as a person.
Go back and look at those descriptions of Rick Perry again: bully, busybody, someone you wouldn’t want to mess with, guy who would build a fence around his property, annoying—all polite ways to say MAJOR A**HOLE.
Nobody can get elected if that’s what voters think of him—nobody.
“..don’t you think your time would be better spent supporting your candidate and explaining why he would be a better president than Rick Perry?”
Gov. Perry is so far behind in the polls that there is no point. It’s sort of like explaining why he would or would not be a better candidate than Sarah Palin. Gov. Perry is at that “put a fork in him” stage, but for whatever reason has decided to stay in the race.
The time would be better spent discussing why Mr. Cain would be a good President.
