Herman destroyed himself by allowing his Cain to chase Ginger.
I knew Bill Clinton, and Herman Cain was no Bill Clinton.
yanno what, I don't care, what I care about is the fact that I liked a whole lot of what Herman Cain talked about, and talked about on his radio show before he ran.
And I'm not saying Cain was a Clinton....
I didn't like Clinton, and it wasn't about the women he ran with....he was a very brilliant man....but....
You don't think maybe he should run for Congress, mayor, school board first before the most responsible elective position on earth? What in heaven's name qualifies Carson to be President? He has some rhetoric you like? You can't be serious. There are a couple of right wing candidates that talk just like him but bring some expertise to the table. Get behind one of them.
I agree to an extent but do we want career politicans. The issue is we have candidates with no experience and candidates with lots of experience. There's not much of a middle ground. Even Cruz had spent time as attorney general and solister general before winning the Senator position.

He has been commander in chief during a period of extreme economic growth, also contrary to what many conservatives believe. Our country is very well placed economically compared to the rest of the industrialized world so again, I just don't get it. Do I agree with him on everything or like everything he does...heck no! But to say he is the worse president ever or deny that our economy has rebounded since the recession/depression of 2007-2010 is pretty silly IMO.
Yeah, I didn't vote for him in 2008 and again in 2012, I didn't think he had the right vision for the solutions we needed but perhaps I was just wrong on it.
Good job showing your staggering lack of ignorance about his Directors and Leadership positions at his former employers.
Or maybe you were aware of them and are just as ignorant as to how that experience would translate to POTUS.
Or maybe your a racist, I mean he is black so that must be a factor, right?
Now wait a minute, everyone is entitled to their views....and I want everyone to feel free to express their views on this man, b/c I want them to show me why he may not be a good candidate....
enough of the slamming each other....lets discuss, if you disagree, stop the insults and say why you disagree! PLEASE! That is what a discussion is....
First of all, I don't use derogative names for politicians I don't like. I think that speaks to a level of maturity you evidently don't possess.
Secondly, President Obama was not my first choice from the candidates seeking the Democratic nomination. I seriously entertained voting for McCain in 2008, until he selected Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Thirdly, Obama's time as an Illinois legislator, and as a federal legislator, is EXPERIENCE. While it wasn't as extensive as Senator McCain's experience, it was experience. Which Dr Carson does not possess.
And finally, your use of the word "terrified" is a failed attempt to depict me as some sort of emotional basket-case. I'm not "terrified" about any candidates getting elected. I expressed my disagreement with Dr Carson and his social and economic views. Which was the topic of this thread, and did not denote any "fear" at all.
Personally, I think they gave us McCain, b/c Obama was wanted in....they knew McCain wouldn't be voted in....
My major beef with Carson, as with all Tea Party types, is that they are too big on social conservatism. People outside of flyover country don't really care about abortion and gay marriage anymore, they are non-issues nowadays.
......... and Obama had experience and intelligence?
Did you vote for Obama?
Obama had a gift of gab, he was extremely Charismatic at the time and at the time, people were so sick of Bush...but it's the same game over and over....we vote in a dem, then we vote in a Repub...then it's back to square one, and we vote in a dem again.....
It's the people....if they wouldn't stay so darn loyal to these two corrupt parties...maybe things would change....
mkpunk I agree to an extent but do we want career politicans. The issue is we have candidates with no experience and candidates with lots of experience. There's not much of a middle ground. Even Cruz had spent time as attorney general and solister general before winning the Senator position.
I agree to an extent as well, I'm sick of these career politicians, what the heck, if the man who is running for the POUS, doesn't have experience, so what, he has people guiding him...and to be perfectly honest...Obama did what he wanted to do...and/or tried....so, maybe someone, who really feels like Carson does, might give this country half a chance....?

I voted for him in 2008 but never ever again, I wouldn't even vote him in any political office any longer, now that I know where he is coming from.
If he is serious, they will do to him, what they did to Herman Cain.....
They will smear him, and that is how you can tell, he will not be owned by the corporations....
Do you like what he has to say?
They are trying to dig the dirt on him.... The problem is, he is clean as a whistle.
Unlike The Hill.
