Herman Cain Has Officially Announced His Candidacy for President

Joshua,

Ron Paul has been a politician since 1976, which automatically disqualifies him in my book. A 35 year involvement in politics and 33 year tenure as a congressman meets the criteria in my initial post of what a career politician is in my opinion. I also find many of his views a little bit off the wall. I agree with him on some things but disagree with him on others, especially his isolationist stance.

I am one active duty military member who did not contribute to his campaign in 2008 and I will not this time around either. I want somebody in the oval office that has not spent any of their adult life in elected office, I want a candidate who has had to live in the real world and not the world of campaigns, focus-groups, or salient messaging. Sorry, Ron Paul’s long political career knock’s him out of this voter’s running.
