Cal - do you think that candidates like Cain and Trump hurt the Republican party? They are beginning to look like the party of 'candidates who have their own personal agendas to further'. Selling books, PR opps, heightening name recognition.
You even have to wonder about Newt. Can he reasonably be expected to get the nomination - with his past? Probably not... but part of the party faithful are rallying around him like the next great savior of the GOP. Does putting forward candidate after candidate that have real problems hurt the brand?
What I feel is hurting the party is there are two many candidates running, and all they are doing is stepping over one another.
Cain seemed to have been the only one with some sort of plan to get this country back on the road to recovery.
As for the rest of them. I don't want any of them as president.
Maybe I should throw my hat in the ring.
Couldn't be any worse that the garbage we are hearing from the ones running now.
As president, my first order of business would be to to blow Iran of the face of the earth before they get the chance to do it to some other country.
Then I would demand that Israel get back to the bargaining table with the palestinians, and come up with an agreement to settle this mid east turmoil, or else face a cutoff of aid,and military hardware.
Then I would inform Pakistan we are going to stop funding their miserable country, and concentrate on better relations with turkey.
Next, I would cease all trade with China until such time as there is a trade balance between the two countries.
Next, would be an executive order freezing all government pensions in this country until a solution is at hand on how to fund them.
Next, I would instruct homeland security, and ice, to come up with a way to round up the 15 or so million illegals in this country, and deport them back to their own countries.
I would instruct the irs to cut the business tax to 6%, so that small business could get back to expansion, and employing new workers.
Medicare would be shifted to the states, with some government funding.
I would do away with any program that caters to illegals, be it welfare, food stamps,or housing and education, and make provisions in the programs for people who can prove they are citizens of this country.
I would cease all federal funding to any state or city that is a sanctuary for illegals.
I would complete the fence at our southern border, and tear down, and remodel those sections that were built to resemble a foot ladder.
AS for the tunnels, I would fund the border patrol so that electronic surveillance could detect tunnels being built underground, and make provisions for their immediate destruction.
These are some of the pressing issues that would need to be addressed as soon as a new president takes office.
How does President Robert Hubbard sound?
OH, and I state right from the gitgo, I have not slept around with any one, ever, and I have no skeletons in my closets that could come back to haunt me.
Now, it is obvious, Cain was not able, but fixing the country is one hell of a job, and who better to do it than a guy named Bob.
Bob
