The Virtue of Strength and Herman Cain
Posted by CarolSeer2014 9 years, 8 months ago to News
Remember Herman Cain? Ran in the Republican primaries in 2012. He said: "You mess with Israel, you mess with me!"
I bet ISIS would have thought twice if Cain had been Commander-in-Chief!
Anyway, that set me thinking. It is not the strong black man I'm afraid of. It's the weak black men who have been told for decades that they are entitled to what I have. I have no qualms that Cain would defend me from the young black hoodlums, and even the young white hoodlums, and do it with a fair application of justice.
Instead, we have Holder, that "poor thing". Apparently we must feel sorry for him because he was profiled by cops when he was young. If you're looking for pity, Eric, you won't find it from me. My vote is for Herman Cain!

I think what I want most is someone who will turn us from this "guaranteed a power-pulling 8 year term" and return us to a nation (and presidency) that we can be proud of. And have a president that is for *all* the people... not just the select few they have a personal interest in.
Even so, I believe the Dems will be running a woman, since they're absolutely certain they can't win with a man. Although I personally believe any republican can beat any democrat--
My idea would be change the term of office to one 6 year term, and once you're done, you're done forever. And there has to be at least one break before an immediate family member can hold office - and maybe even then, they should be disqualified if they held certain positions (First Lady, for example). No more spending 1/2 of your term playing electioneer. No more 4x2 fiats, no more handoffs to the spouse/kin/children of yours.
Yeah, I remember the Pe-loser's crap about "needing to have a private 757 to travel back and forth weekly" due to "National Security concerns".
Hell, if her (or any of their) security is such a big concern, have them fly in unmarked USAF C-140's. Or hop a cross-country that's already scheduled on a C5A.
Other than the PotUS (yes, even PotUS Potus), who has a legitimate reason for his/her own aircraft, NONE of those congresscritters or cabineteers need their own special private airplane to show off their pull and power in. Catch a dotmil transcon hop (like we in the service used to do when we had to get somewhere)... or take the train. Or DRIVE THERE like the AMERICAN you espouse to be, not ride like an empress.
I'm tired of our ELECTED SERVANTS getting privilege, not by the right of EARNING it, but by schmoozing an electorate for it. I still remember sitting next to a Congressman on a cross country flight - in coach, nonetheless - when I was young... because he took his position as a JOB, not as a goodie-bag ass-grab (pardon me). And he was a damned fine conversationalist as well as someone I had wished was *my* congressman. But that was then, and this is now.
