Help Me Figure Out The Candidates

[NoMoreCareerPoliticians]

Realizing my assessments of these candidates are of no value to anyone but myself I ask for some help with your opinions. They will be greatly appreciated. I have watched all of the debates and done reading a plenty.

I’ll take them in alphabetical order, here are my assessments, tell me where I’m wrong:

Bachmann
I wish I new more about her, very little information available. She does not strike me a quick witted and when she tries to be she says foolish things like the 9% tax could rise to 90%. Now if she was to have said it could rise to 12 or 15 percent it would have been believable.

Cain
He changes his position like we change our shorts, daily. I would hate to go to the movies with this guy, by the time he decided on what seat to sit in the movie would be over. Cain is probably the only candidate we have that Obama would beat in a debate. Cain has little experience and when he tries to improvise he is terrible.

Gingrich
Now here is a man that is very quick witted and when he does so he makes sense. Until the last debate he was never caught with his drawers down. But apparently he is loaded down with personal baggage and has an extremely extravagant wife.

Huntsman
I’m sure Obama and the Chinese love this guy. I see phony all the way.

Paul
I like his positions on a lot of things but he appears too soft on having a strong military. I agree with him on bringing the troops home immediately and getting our troops out of all those foreign lands that either don’t need us or don’t want us there.

Perry
Man, this guy went at Romney like a grizzly bear with a sore tooth. I like his spunk but when it comes to illegal aliens he has not a clue. Comparing an illegal alien working in a landscaping company to $100,000 handouts to illegals is ludicrous. Someone stick a fork in this man – he is done.

Romney
I can tell by the tone on this website this man is not liked one bit. There is not enough meat left on this man to stick a fork in, you would be hard pressed to find enough meat left to make a stew.

Santorum
This man is the opposite of Paul when it comes to our military foreign presence. He hasn’t figured out yet that Muslims hate Christians. He would keep us in Afghanistan and Iraq until these Muslims cut every one of our heads off.

In-state tuition for people who have resided in and paid taxes to Texas for 3 years

Looks like it.

[Kirkwood]

Cain is starting to remind me of Pontius Pilate.
He states that he is for or against something, and then turs around and washes his hands of it because he’s trying to make everyone believe that his personal opinion doesn’t matter. Eventually people are going to demand that he stand by his principles and not come across as believing one thing, while doing the exact opposite as president.

[South40]

What about the vaunted 10th Amendment?
Education is a state issue. Period.

Do you really fail to comprehend the concept that it ceases to be a state issue when a man who advocates for such a thing seeks national office?

There is a federal law prohibiting giving instate tuition to ILLEGAL aliens. La Raza Rick and the Texas legislature discovered a way of circumventing that law by making the requirement 3-years of high school as opposed to residing within the state. Americans don't like that. I know because I am one.

The 77th Texas Legislature passed that bill with a veto-proof majority. It would not have mattered if Perry choose not to sign it. That he did merely illustrates that he did not have national office in mind at the time.

I've said this before but I guess you didn't read it. It doesn't matter that it was a veto-proof majority; Perry signed it BECAUSE HE SUPPORTED IT THEN AND HE SUPPORTS IT STILL. It's not the fact that the Texas legislature approved it with a veto proof majority that bothers Americans. What bothers them is Perry advocated for it then and does to this day.

BTW, many other states beside Texas have the same residency language.

A fact that has absolutely ZERO bearing on this debate. But for the record, if any govrnor had signed a similar bill (mine did, and he is a liberal jackass) that man would NOT deserve or get the support of the very same people who do not support Perry.

NoMoreCareerPoliticians Since you're a new member (home page no created, Since Oct 15,2011), just off your pen name, I'd say Cain is your man.
I have a few questions?

Have you visited 2012 Presidential Candidate Selector and if so what was the recommendation?

Did you visit Pick Your Candidate and if so what was its recommendation?

Have you seen this chart and does it help you?

Have you seen this position chart and does it help?

Finally have you read The Tea Partier versus The Republican?

Bachmann Very conservative, and my first choice, since Palin isn't running.

Cain Very Conservative, very confident, a man I've personally had about an hour conversation with in 2004, and a man I trust.He's my second choice

GingrichThe smartest man on the ticket, and very conservative, but I'm not sure I trust, however, I'd vote for him, my third choice.

Huntsman Not worth my time, an "Establishment Republican" that's just too liberal. He won't ever get my vote.

Ron Paul Wants to legalize drugs, and isn't worth my time, I'd never vote for him.

Perry He's done, and he'll lie to you in a heartbeat. He's an "Establishment Republican" pretending to be conservative, and He'll NEVER get my vote.

Romney He's a real RINO, a real liberal, and he's the "Establishment's Favorite". He'll NEVER get my vote.

Santorum He's too inexperienced, but he's conservative. As a last resort, I MIGHT vote for him, but I'm not sure.

[NoMoreCareerPoliticians]

Cain a man I've personally had about an hour conversation with in 2004

Very interesting, I like Cain also but he needs some good advice. Are you still able to contact him?

[Vendome]

Cram it nOOb.

Come back in a year.

Paulbot attempting what you see as a clever ruse?

We’ve sure got some bean counters on this thread. :-)

This is an old cartoon, so don't forget the "Pro-Communist Health Care" and "Anti-Communist Health Care" podiums:

[Yosemitest]

No. It was a random encounter at Lake Charles Terminal Radar Approach Control.
Herman Cain flew into the airport in a radial engine Bi-Wing aircraft, and he parked it between the control tower and the general aviation operations building.
He asked for a tour of the tower and radar facility before he shut the engine down, so we (FAA) authorized it and opened up the break-room door about 50 feet from where he was parked.
He used our facilities to change clothes, get a rental car, and while he waited for it to arrive, he toured the radar room and the control tower.
He asked many good questions about our operation and we talked about many things.
He spoke of being diagnosed with cancer and how his family really helped him, as he prepared to fight it.
He talked of prayer and how that had given him strength and motivation.
He was with us for about 30 minutes before he left in the rental car to do a surprise inspection of Burger King.
He returned about 3 hours later, spent another thirty minutes with us while the aircraft was being prepped.
There was only about 5 of us on duty during his visit, and we all had ample opportunity to talk about whatever we wished.
He really is a pleasant and bold man, very easy to talk to.
He's a highly skilled private pilot, also.

[Yosemitest]

"I like Cain also but he needs some good advice."

I have NO DOUBT that Herman Cain is comfortable and skilled at choosing executive officers and delegating responsibility,
as well as controlling board meetings, and taking advise since he's overseen the turnaround of several corporations.

He has a pretty impressive resume


Cain is best known as a conservative talk show personality and former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, a Midwestern pizza chain Cain bought from Pillsbury after bringing it back from the brink of bankruptcy.

But there is more to Cain than just pizza. He has also been a:

• Rocket scientist (he developed fire control systems for the U.S. Navy)
• Computer scientist (he has a master's degree from Purdue University)
• Senior Vice President of Systems for Pillsbury (he oversaw construction of the company's World Headquarters in Minneapolis)
• Regional Vice President of Burger King (he turned Philadelphia's 450 restaurant from the least profitable to the most profitable in the country)
• Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Board
• President of the National Restaurant Association 
• CEO of RetailDNA, a retail marketing startup
• Motivational speaker and author through his leadership consulting company, T.H.E., Inc, or The Hermanator Experience

Haha great. Do you think he interrupts himself as well, taking up all of the debate time?

[Atlas Sneezed]

Your first post ever is a vanity thread smearing the GOP candidates?

[Atlas Sneezed]

It really is the only policy he put in print.

Yeah, aside from all the policies he has had on his website:

I’ll just say your post sucks, a waste of time to read your “thoughts”. I can’t imagine why anyone would care about your analysis, I know I don’t care for meaningless tripe.

[NoMoreCareerPoliticians]

Thanks for the info.
It’s nice to get meaningful conversation about a topic.
My topic was to get help with opinions about the candidates.
I have never voted for a single Democrat in my life.
bfree - just seems to be a nasty person.

Policies pasted on a candidate’s website don’t impress me much. They will be changed as soon as the primary is over.

Have we really forgotten how soon Obama changed his websites?

[Semper911]

A retread?

Nah, a concern troll. And a Paulbot.
