Default Perry and Cain are evil

Presidents come in all kinds of flavors. Some are good, some are bad. To parse it further, some are incompetent (Obama). Some are Clintonian. Some are Reagan-esque. And so forth.

Looking at the GOP field, I have picked out two candidates that I say are evil. Let me explain. Perry has a very clear record of using public office to enrich and reward his friends, as well as to accumulate money and power for himself. At the expense of his fellow citizens. Evil. If in fact Cain is a serial sexual harasser, that tells me something: that he uses positions of power to manipulate and extort persons in subordinate positions, for his own personal gratification. If he did that as the National Restaurant dude, imagine what this clown would do as President of the United States. Washington - Jefferson - Lincoln - T. Roosevelt - Reagan........Cain? ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME???

Pick who you want, but please don't pick evil.

Cain was a math major and has a MS in computer science from Purdue. So he is a Carter-like geek with managerial competence. Not saying I'll pick him.

Cain is a geek? Coulda fooled me. You would think he would have more than about 3 talking points in that case.

He's also a businessman building a name brand through repetition.

Yes, he may actually be the one who fully gets how stupid the GOP electorate is.

Me being in the GOP makes me feel like a Rhodes Scholar sitting in a class on how to hold up a "Caution: Workers Present" on the side of a highway.

Perhaps the level of awareness is fuller and so we are not aware of how dumb the complete electorate really is. Once upon a time, only modestly informed and intelligence beings participated but not the complete morons run the show.

Cain is telling people that God told him to run for president. Which raises the question, why is God telling so many people to run for president?

I'm guessing this video will not improve Waters' opinion of Cain.

Kissinger likes Cain?

There is not better benchmark for evil.
