If we work hard most of these guys are going to be gone and we should get some real leadership in the Senate.
Is there an echo in here? ;-)
I do trust Perry more than the rest of the field.
Romney and Newt are shapeshifters.
I think many of the rest are too rigid.
I think Cains repeatedly relying on the super committee shows me that he is a shape shifter too.
I really want to like the man, and I believe that you will find me being a proponent of him many times in the past, but the man is in the arena now and he has some splainen to do.
GMTA
How is he going to do that?
They are elected officials, but Cain has elevated the idea that representation can go to hell.
We'll just rely on a hand select "Super Committee"
He has in his own proposal elevated them as the voice of America.
"Not my fault if they make a bad call"
Color me skeptical of the 999 plan.
Of a certainty there is a hole involved, but having his head shoved up it should take care of the tinfoil leakage.
Look I don’t care if you like him or not, your post show you to be a loyal Perry back. I have no problem with that pick who you want, but stop pretending you want to find out more about Cain. Back your man ride for your brand I can respect a man for that, but what you are doing won’t change your mind or anyone else’s so why do it unless you want to cause strife. Good luck I am sure if nothing else Perry is a good American and a good Texan.
I do agree that we should focus on the Senate as much, if not more so than the executive office this go around.
So what if he was associated with the Federal Reserve, though? Heck, at least he understands what they do. The rest of this bunch has no clue, and Obama is even worse.
The select committee only operates at the will of the current treasury head. A victory for Cain or any other Conservative (Perry, Pawlenty, etc) would mean a rejection of Obama’s agenda. To get the numbers for a Presidential win, that means you would have greater Republican turn out, and thus, it won’t just be the Presidency that is affected but house and senate races as well.
It would also be a swift kick into the general attitude of Obama’s theories. He has put all his cards down and if they are rejected, the Dems would be afraid to go back there for a while lest they also lose their jobs.
Being a Regional Federal Reserve bank President means he wasn’t involved in monetary policy or currency valuation or any of that Jekyll Island stuff, but he does have a better knowledge of how the entire system operates and can deal with it more effectively than those who screech about it the loudest but don’t even know the difference in the Regional Banks and the Board of Governors (or don’t even know the difference between the Fed, Treasury and Mint as some of the vocal ones seem to portray).
Mr Cain has some vetting to be done.
I like the guy.
I just think his plan is weak.
1. You’ve been here a little over 10 years and this is the best you can do?
2. Why do you spew this worthless garbage here? Free Republic is demeaned by your crap.
3. Why, after posting this tripe, do you run and hide? You won’t even hang around to defend this rubbish.
I think all of our candidates reject Obamas agenda.
Yes, but my point is that whether he was or wasn’t involved in monetary policy has little to do with anything, except that I would rather have a guy who has a clue what the Fed does. I think Romney probably has a loose understanding, and the other candidates probably have a vaguer understanding, but Obama has none.
Well I guess you know better than a guy like Steve Forbes So tell us all about it.
Like said if Perry was such a good candidate you should be able to promote him on his merits and not have to use what you see as faults in others.
I'm calling post traumatic disorder.
The economy is rolling here in Texas.
You’ll hear more about it.
Perry is FIGHTING Obama and the EPA, You’ll hear more about it.
Perry is fighting the feds on illegal immigration, you’ll hear more about it.
Didn’t mean to sound arguing, just trying to deflect some of the conspiratorial stuff like in the original post that tries to equate Cain to Uncle Ben Bernanke.
(I ramble a lot).
