Bill O’Reilly is no conservative.
Now we’re hearing conservatives being told Cain is deficient in foreign policy.
The Left failed to derail him with a phony scandal so now its trying another line of attack.
They and the GOP establishment are getting desperate.
It is not mastery of facts that make a leader, it’s mastery of principle.
Many an idiot-savant has mastered “facts” as such. They don’t do much more than show off.
Someone grounded in principles can get any number of experts to lay out facts. The set of principles put them together in a meaningful way.
"Dr.Kissinger have you ever heard of Alan Caruba?"
"Yes, he's a moron."
What is the capital of Assyria?
I am beginning to think that Perrywinkes define “religious like fervor” - as anyone who isn’t particularly enthused by being called “heartless” by a RINO.
Just saying.
Perrywinkes, used to regularly say the exact same think about Palin supporters. That we “went on Perry threads to disrupt”. Etc.
Word for word. The talking points remain on the same fax, only the candidate name is changed.
So did all the Palin supporters change religions?
Or are they simply realizing there is someone else on the scene, who believes as they do?
Now. Here we are on a Cain thread. A Cain thread.
Just saying.
Who is disrupting?
No one seems to recall the famous commercial Hillary ran about Obama being unprepared for that 3:00 AM crisis phone call.
The voters discounted it and thought Obama’s lack of foreign policy experience wasn’t relevant to his being President.
Now a different, higher standard is applied to Cain. How convenient.
Exactly. Pinheads can go read a book. You want a man of action that supports the value of hard work. The Constitution supports this and the right to pray and worship about it. It also supports your right to defend it. The over-educated numbnuts we have in charge now just expects it.
I tend to agree with you.
I think a candidate for President should have a well-articulated set of priniciples for dealing with foreign policy and concrete proposals for advancing them re the major challenges on the world scene. When the USSR was the foremost of those challenges in the 1980’s, Ronald Reagan had a well-thought out philosophy regarding how to deal with the communists: “We win, they lose.” And he had a program, both overt and covert, for making that happen.
We should now have the same attitude regarding radical jihadism, led by Iran openly and by the likes of Saudi Arabia covertly. A new President, explicitly unlike Obama, should have a program ready to go to frustrate and defeat this enemy. They don’t have to reveal every detail of it - they shouldn’t, in fact - but they should let us know they have one ready. or so it seems to me.
It’s not like this is the first time someone has questioned his prowess on foreign policy.
I had the same concern about candidate Reagan....
What do you want him to say?
How are all the foreign policy “experts” currently destroying America’s future, working out for you?...
Mr. Reagan was in a much different position. He put a big scare into the 1976 convention.
Concern trolls like you love to paint the motivation of the other side as something cultish. Trust me, I've seen plenty of that on the Perry side as well, running around foolishly claiming that Perry is the only one who can beat Romney. Well, guess what? Cain has doubled Romney in the most recent Iowa poll and has FIVE TIMES the support of Perry.
No criticism of him can be accepted or even discussed.
And another thing the concern trolls like to do is to pretend that they can't criticize a candidate. And that is pure horsecrap and you know it. You just don't like the retorts that get properly thrown right back in your face when you try to push liberal hatchet jobs against Cain.
Try this - working on your candidate to undo some of the positions that sunk him into single digits, instead of bashing the guy who is actually putting a hurt on Romney.
I never did. Reagan had been making his position clear for years.
