This from someone that can’t even see the irony in their own screen name.

Cincinnatus was held in such high regard, because he refused to become a permanent politician. When Rome was in crisis, he became the leader of Rome. When the crisis was over, he could have stayed on and become a lifetime dictator. Instead, he stepped down and returned to his regular life.

Between Herman Cain and Rick Perry, which one sounds more like Cincinnatus? The one that has never held office; sees the country in crisis; and is running because he believes he can solve that crisis, or the career politician (state congressman, ag commisioner, governor) that is running for president because it is the next step up from his current office?

You don’t see the ironly of someone with your screen name supporting the career politician?
