I hope and pray that Cain does not get the nomination.
I do not trust the man and my respect for him dwindles daily.
However, should he get the nomination, I will vote for him as ‘not as bad as Obama’
Who is?
I do think his devotees bear an eerie resemblance to the worshippers who were for Obama last time.
I think they are the Republican counterpart of Obama supporters, wanting a ‘different’ candidate with no record and no accomplishments in government.
I think Cain is a semi-decent man who is a conservative democrat at heart.

Ditto vis a vis my feelings on Perry. In fact if the choices by the time my primary comes are Perry or Romney, I’m voting for Perry.
“I do think his devotees bear an eerie resemblance to the worshippers who were for Obama last time.”
“I think they are the Republican counterpart of Obama supporters, wanting a ‘different’ candidate with no record and no accomplishments in government.”
I think I can see a similarity in that nothing alleged about Cain seems to dissuade us from supporting him. It was the same for Obama and his supporters when he was running.
I admit that I am not really all that comfortable with that development.
“I think Cain is a semi-decent man who is a conservative democrat at heart.
I think he is better than that, but not much. I just feel like it is time to give a non-career politician a shot.
I long ago forgave Perry his attack on those of us that do not agree with him on the treatment of illegals in regards to in-state tuition. I can see WHY he wanted that policy even if I vehemently disagree with him on it. he is currently third on my depth chart behind Cain and Gingrich.
I can confidently say openly and honestly that I harbor no malice towards Governor Perry and I can see where he’d be at least as good as Bush as POTUS, possibly better in some areas.
Unfortunately that is not setting the bar really high as I view Bush as having been a horrible POTUS in two ways; Illegals and growth of government. If Perry were to keep his word on the border issues and “making government as inconsequential in our lives as possible” I think he’d be the best POTUS so far of this young century.
While I do not hate Perry or any of his supporters, I do find some of you highly annoying and will comment in negative ways in future Perry threads if I feel the need. My apologies in advance if this upsets you.
