What I find odd about politics...is why does one man or canidate have to be 'good' and the other 'bad'??

Why can't all parties involved be 'good' or decent people with different 'plans'....


On talk radio they're already making the comparison between Barack Obama and Herman Cain....

It's like they frame it as one being good or holy, and the other bad or evil....

Well why can't they both be 'good'...two men, with different visions or ways of solving things??

Two men, or canidates that appeal to different voters??

I mean just because Herman Cain is 'good' to some...doesn't mean Obama has to become the devil...and or vice versa....

Pepole really need to grow up and become more balanced...

Herman Cain is a pro-capitalism businessman.

Obama is a socialist community organizer.

They are very different. They can't be both good.

Empty suits don't don't turn around two failing businesses, dont get elected to a Fed Reserve Board, Pastor a congregation, don't have a BA in Math and a MS in Computer Sciences. So, quit your childish prattle.

Mr Cain may or may not be qualified for the Presidency, may or may not be nominated by his party, may or may not be elected if nominated. But he is not an empty suit.

Why the need to anonymously denigrate another? Because you can? That indicates poor impulse control, which is part and parcel immaturity. Hopefully time and life experience will help with both of those.

Neither of them are 'bad'....

There's more than one type of car...

Toyota is good, and so is Ford...

Disagreeing with someone, doesn't make them 'bad' or 'evil'....

And being a 'community organizer'...doesn't make someone bad...
Speaking for or trying to empower those who are less fortunate is not a bad thing...

One could say Tea party leaders are 'community organizers'...infact they are...but that doesn't make them 'bad'....

Herman Cain is not 'bad'...nor is Barrack Obama...there just two men with different ways of doing things...


(this need to always demonize those we disagree with comes from where? and benifits who?)

obama is corrupt and incompetant. He is destroying this country. If he were to be re-elected, the country will not survive. He wants to turn this country into Cuba.
There is no good in the man, he is evil and must be defeated....!!

100% talk radio rhetoric...straight from the lips of Rush Limbaugh and Sean H and Micheal Savage...

1. The current President is no more or less corrupt than any of his predicisors...

2. Incompetant??....that cannot be substantuated, and is simply your opinion based on the bias you hold in your heart towards the man....basically fiction...but fiction sells on talk radio...

3. Destroying the country?....again more rhetoric straight out the lips of Limbaugh....
Nothing has changed in my life...I don't see fire falling from the sky...a see people daily shopping, eating out, going on vacation, and getting along just fine...

Step away from the talk radio....

In todays political climate, it has to be one is right and thus righteous and the other is wrong and thus evil. This how we have been programmed to think by both parties and the media.

Very unbiased post.

The rent is 2 damn high, and Herman Cain wants to tax it.
