“9-9-9, for starters. His idiotic sales tax advocacy makes him toxic as far as I’m concerned. No experience, for another. The Oval Office isn’t an entry level position. Running a fifth rate pizza franchise doesn’t impress me. Neither does shucking and jiving.”
Actually, I really can’t fault you on 999. I will just say that I don’t bother to worry about it. It would have to get through Congress first...but that’s just how I look at it...it’s perfectly reasonable to judge him on it, since he keeps talking about it.
As far as political experience goes, I could care less. The most politically experienced president in my lifetime was Bush-41 (W’s father) and he was a DISASTER in many, many, ways. Next was Bush-43 (6 years as Texas governor), and he lost it right after re-election. The most politically experienced candidate we ever ran (McCain) got his head handed to him by the LEAST experienced candidate to ever run for president. It seems to me that the more experience a politician has, the more out of touch they are with the base (at least as far as Republicans go).
Shucking and Jiving...that’s personal taste. I like it because it shows he’s at ease...unlike Romney who’s a robot.
All in all, thanks for answering me, but we’ll disagree on Cain.
I appreciate that. I agree with you that it is DOA. But I find it very disturbing to have a "conservative" promoting a national consumption tax. It will come back to bite us. And I find it humorous that someone would think a man who is fundamentally wrong on the most pressing issue of the day should be president.
But I appreciate your manner of response. Thanks for that.
