No offense

Don't kid yourself, you are offensive

but “common sense ordinary citizens” aren’t qualified for the most important job in the world. It takes decades of work in the public arena. No one with Cain’s thin public record has ever been elected prez for good reason.

Give your head a shake. It's been the professional politicians, elitists and insiders that have brought America to the edge of cataclysm, "work in the public arena" my ass, what you call Cain's "thin public record" is more substantial than most Americans will ever achieve in their lifetime, especially YOU!!

Take that elitist attitude and stick it where the sun don't shine.

You are closer to the OWS movement than you know. The Founders didn’t set up a country where the common man ruled. That’s why orginally only Representatives were directly elected.

Think Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, etc. were the common man? Even Lincoln was one of the leading railroad attorneys of the day.

The first person to run for the “common man” was Andrew Jackson. Look at his personal history and say there was anything common about him.
