I am totally disappointed on how the “experienced” governors/politicians/senators have run the country so far. May be it is time to try something different.
Also why you keep saying Cain just ran a pizza company? How about his several years as chair of Kansas Federal Reserve where he had to interact with every bank in the region, his brilliant mathematics background as a rocket scientist, and other corporate accomplishments?
Frankly there is no one in my family close to being a rocket scientist although I was a pretty good heavy machinery engineer! How about Perry’s? Or Romney’s?
Romney’s father ran a car company, now no longer in existence.
Perry’s father was a cotton farmer.
So was Perry in his younger days, along with his father.
I can’t remember who said this, or I would credit them, but a FReeper once said that he trusted Perry the dirt poor cotton farmer with his vote for President far more than he could ever trust the slick, elitist, super rich Romney.
I actually believe that, as well. I have a college degree, but one side of my family was rural and involved with agriculture. I have also been to Paint Creek where Perry grew up and I understand the people. It doesn’t make anyone perfect to have that background, nobody is perfect, but I prefer people from that background in my dealings more than I do any other.
Perry was an Air Force Captain and flew the C-130. That is a positive on the Resume.
