I have yet to decide on who I may support for the Republican spot on the Presidential ticket. I am enjoying the hell out of the Republican debates and all the posturing and discussion. The American style of campaigning is wonderful but in my opinion, way too long. I like the British style, five weeks prior to an election is the beginning of the campaign season. No more, no less. In America because we have 50 states where a person must establish a campaign (with lots of rules), things have stretched out to two to three years. Yikes!
But one of the benefits of all this campaigning is Americans get to see and hear so many different people and all the ideas one could ever like or hate. Out of the pack lately is Herman Cain. He has never held apolitical office but has been in business as a CEO. Like a Governor, a CEO has to run a organization of many people with many ideas. Unlike government though a CEO has to make a profit or he will be sent packing after a while if he doesn't make one. In the political world, a politician can get elected time after time and yet be as dumb as a post regarding capitalism and American history. I actually blame the voters for electing the stupid people like Schumer of New York and Baucus of Montana.
Herman Cain is smart. He has a particular flair I like. We are so used to a politician being so PC and careful they all start sounding like the teacher Ben Stein played in Ferris Beuller. Repeat, repeat repeat. Well, Cain is like me in that he just doesn't like to repeat himself too much. I know he probably should repeat himself because in modern politics people forget so fast you HAVE to repeat yourself to drive a nail in their heads so they will reembark what you stand for. Okay, boring, I know, but Cain doesn't appear to do that, except for his 9-9-9 tax proposal. Well, Cain is catching on. I voted for Romney in 2008 in the California primary and of course he lost to the even more boring McCain. Well, one thing Cain isn't is boring.
Lately Cain has been dissing those new hippies wandering around New York City. The new hippies are crapping on police cars (literally), trashing private property and causing all kinds of problems for that goofy Mayor, Michael Bloomberg. The unions have now jumped on board with the new hippies and started protests in other cities around the country. Even Obama is wishing he was their "community activist" I bet. To show you how stupid theses new hippies are, they have a few nuts at the Capitol in Sacramento. They forgot or maybe don't even know that California is their socialist nirvana. What the heck are they protesting here?
Well, Cain seems to be the only candidate on the right that is speaking truth to the Wall Street loons and letting America know they are just plain dumb protesters. Most are the mushy brained college kids whose parent sacrificed to send them to get a higher eduction. Some are aged 60's hippies wishing to relive their glory days. I feel bad for the parents who thought their kids would actually receive a education and come away with a skill to survive on the planet. Oh well, $120,000 down the crapper. Anyway, Cain is telling it like it is and he just has no room for the numskulls at these protests. Since he is a successful businessman, trained in capitalism and more or less a self made man, Cain has no sympathy for the leeches pooping all over someones private property and crying how tough they have it. Good for Herman Cain!
So, when you read the tripe in the LA Times about Cain's comments and the lamestream media's inane perspective n the leftwingnuts at these camp outs around the country, keep in mind that Herman Cain represents most Americans on his perspective. That is just one more reason I like him.
This is where " From the people,,For the people,," and with any luck BY the people.
ReplyDeleteCain will make a damned good statesman.
But he cannot and will not win the Presidency. Obama Campaign will eat him alive with all of Cain's various statements and lack of compassion. Americans dislike a cold hearted politician with a closed mind.
ReplyDeleteYou my friend are the epitome of what is a "closed mind". Either that or you just don't have one.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Has Bob ever commented on an actual topic here?
