Palin was my first choice too. It seemed like the media had emptied all its cartridges at her, and had no more bullets left to fire. Since she had weathered the worst they could dish out—worse than anything I have ever seen against any other candidate at any time—it appeared her time to shine had come. As you said, prayer and seeking God’s guidance led to a different outcome.
I had reservations about Cain at first. I have since investigated him, and the kind of person he is—and the True Conservative he is—won me over completely. I am behind him now a hundred percent.
He has a steep hill to climb. Axelrod knows Obama would be defenseless against the critique of a true black man—hence the women, who all originated in Chicago [Axelrod’s home turf, but a place where Cain has never lived or worked].
The GOP antipathy toward Cain is, if anything, even greater. The GOP Ruling Class Establishment, enriching itself on legalized insider trading, is terrified of an outsider who might upset the gravy train. They can’t be sure Cain would rubber stamp their institutionalized corruption, and so they must guard against him.
I pray Cain can overcome the resistance of both parties and win the election. We need his business savvy now more than ever, not to mention his upbeat optimism, can-do spirit, and passionate love of the USA.
Go Cain!
He is a businessman, a very successful one at that. THAT is what we need right now. Someone to get us out of this mess who is not “in”.
If he is not on my ballot, I will be writing him in. I must vote my conscience. I will deal with the consequences later....if any.
