Herman Cain has many of the same qualities of leadership George Washington had

This from the guy Bachman to Palin to Cain. Emotion is the only reason to back Cain. Logic and record certainly isn't.

[annieokie]

hahahaha, and they just keep coming.

I like this. Cain seems to “forge” himself stronger through the media attacks. G-d bless Herman Cain. As he said last night, “Do you think I am doing this for FUN??”

[DeusExMachina05]

Oh please. This article is such horse crap I can’t even believe someone posted it. Herman Cain is done.

[Paperdoll]

We are dealing here with the products of the Brave New World Educational System.

Herman Cain definitely shares many of the characteristics of the father of our country. He is a clear thinker; has the right instincts for what needs to be done to save our republic; is bold and forthright, and walks with the same Co-Pilot.

We are very fortunate to have such a man running for the presidency today.

I could Google that word to find out what it means, but Im just gonna pretend like I didnt see it :)

Painful parsing of words.

Cain is the quintessential BSer.
Then when he gets picked apart and trys to be serious he stumbles about.

He is not good and NOT being a BSer

[Tennessee Nana]

and George Washington’s Mom was a Loyalist and supported those same “British enemy”

[mylife]

He is not good “at” NOT being a BSer

Nobody is worthy of being compared to Washington in this day and age. Washington was a man with conviction and purpose.

Although I like Cain, he in no way is comparable to Washington. This IDOL WORSHIP reminds me of 2008 when Obummer was being portrayed as a messiah, worthy of being worshipped. It’s completely ridiculous! We are not going to find a second comming of Washington or Reagan in the current GOP field...probably ever, though it would be nice to find someone with the ethics and morals to try to fix our country!

I do not want our very own Negra president, or our very own First Female president.

I want someone who understands the challenges and understands the job.

I want someone who understands the machine.

[newzjunkey]

First of all he has values and principles that are conservative.

Entirely untested and, at times, not articulated well. I don't know why people still take Cain's candidacy seriously. He's not interested in studying and he's no sharper on message.

They're still clinging to the hope that Cain will be what they want him to be rather than what he's decided to be.

[Mr. K]

so you think we need MORE professional politicians in washington?

I would take 500 Cain’s over the group we have now

Gingrich too- he is not perfect but he BALANCED THE BUDGET ONCE BEFORE!!!!!!

While you may not agree with the assessment making comparisons with historical figures is not uncommon. All good (or great) leaders have characteristics that make them successful. Such characteristics are finite, therefore someone making such a comparison between 2 people they admire isn’t ridiculous and doesn’t warrant such condescension.

I can see similarities between Newt and Ben Franklin. Both men are erudite and capable of clearly explaining complex thought. But, there are also qualities (good & bad) that they don’t share. Is it possible for you to discuss the particular qualities being compared instead of making a blanket statement and then insulting someone? Make an argument for why the 2 DON’T have XYZ in common.

Seriously, what do insults do to further the conversation? Heck, you might be right but we’ll never know because instead of sharing your knowledge of history & historical figures you start insulting people. I see that kind of attitude on display all the time with liberals, when they’re discussing conservatives. Can’t we be a little better than that? You might even be able to increase our understanding of important people and events that helped make this such a great nation.

Can’t we be a little better than that?

Apparently not.

[gardencatz]

Well then why not share your knowledge instead of hurling insults?

I’m still waiting on Johnnie to prove the lie he tried to float about me, claiming I was running around from thread to thread trashing the other candidates. Seems Johnnie needs another hobby.

[TigersEye]

I like Herman Cain but after describing a number of Washington’s characteristics the article fails to point to a single characteristic of Cain to make the comparison. The article fails on an academic basis. Half of an analogy is no analogy at all.

[normy]

Do me a favor. Go back to the post you responded to and re read it and note the "insults" as you called them.

Then go back to the post I was responding to and see if you can find any insults in that post. I think it would be interesting to read your response back. Thanks.
