Little secret: I actually like Herman Cain, a lot. I believe he would be mostly, though not always Conservative. He is a likable man!
I also believe Patriot Perry and Intellectual Newt would be effective, Conservative Presidents. Santorum would be ideal, but he is a non-starter.
The issue in this case is that the GOP has always prided itself on being the knowledgable party when it comes to foreign policy. Being ignorant of it is bad enough; but proudly thumping one’s chest, boasting of one’s ignorance on foreign policy is particularly unacceptable.
Cain is not ready to be the leader of the Free World and Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful military in the history of the world. That’s not some anti-Cain screed, that’s the truth. He is not ready, and the Presidency is not an entry-level position on these things.
Still, I will be supporting whoever gets the nod, as long as it’s not Mitt or Huntsman.
They can give them welfare, feed them, house them, educate them, provide them a drivers license, but for some reason they can't deport them????
Do you like / respect Condoleezza Rice when it comes to Foreign Policy?
If so, you might want to take a look at some of her opinions about whether a candidate needs to be an expert on foreign policy before taking office. She says no. And she has been specifically asked about Cain in this regard.
I know I keep saying the same, because it’s true, “not one primary vote has been cast”, but I think Newt Gingrich will likely beat Romney for the nomination, and I base my prediction on foreign policy along with Gingrich’s debating skills.
You’re dead-bang right, when you state that the GOP has always prided itself for being the knowledgeable foreign policy party.
Last night, Ollie North said that Newt Gingrich knows more about foreign policy than all of the candidates on the stage combined. A lot of voters probably agree.
The very thought of Iran with nukes scares every thinking person, but maybe that issue will soon be moot. Who knows? If not, it’s almost a guarantee that under obama’s watch, Iran has clear sailing unless Israel acts alone and then the US is forced to help.
