Yes, those are you only choices. Choose your own adventure. :peace
 
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong...That would be Cain. I think before I could vote for any one, they would need some actual experience in the government.
 
That's kind of depressing.


eta I mean the poll choices, not the post above mine

You mean like a community organizer and a Senator who votes "present"?

I went and made the part which is government experience in your post bold. He was also a state senator, which is, surprise, a government job. Reading comprehension is gud.

Also note we are not voting for Obama 4 years ago, but Obama 1 year from now, with 4 years of executive experience to go along with his time in the state and federal government.

I'm not sure that's a ringing endorement.
 
I would take a very successful businessman who has no experience in government, but who understands how the free market works and has a great plan to boost our economy over a man who has had 6 years experience in government and has done nothing but crap all over our country anyday.

But we're not talking Obama v. Cain here.

It's one made on facts, which is much more than you have done. I at least know that being a senator is working in the government...

So you would take some one who has experience, but in something completely unrelated to the government, that operates on entirely difference principals, and has a completely different way of doing things, over some one who actually knows how the system works? And calling his plan "great" when it is vague and could never pass is amusing.
 
Sorry, I would not vote for either. I might vote for Cain/Romney though. I'd have to think about it still.

The principles the government has been operating on haven't exactly been successful.
 
Rubio will be the GOP VP choice....I guarantee it. The GOP needs Florida and they are going to need to go after the Latino vote. The only way that Rubio is NOT the GOP VP is if he declines it.

Yeah, dammit, we have only become the greatest superpower on earth. That is so hardly successful...

Obama doesn't know how the system works....he only knows how to destroy it.

Why are you arguing Cain v. Obama when the poll is Romeny v. Obama?

Romney isn't going to pick Cain, that would almost like McCain picking Sarah Palin. Get over it.

Oh good lord, stop listening to Beck.

Then why did you make the poll about 4 people if it is only about 2?

We became a superpower eons ago. We've been on a downhill slide for awhile now, don't you think?

No I do not think. I see no evidence to back up that conclusion.

Because.... I thought this was obvious .... that's how Presidential elections work. Obama would be debating ROMNEY, not Cain. So.....why is Obama better than Romney?

For one, Obama wasn't the CEO of Bain Capital.

You did not ask me who I thought would win a debate, you asked me who I would vote for. I would not vote for any ticket with Cain on it(despite thinking highly of the man) as I feel he would be a detriment as president or VP.

Actually, remember the cold war? Our style of government against theirs? Remember who won?
