CAIN, GINGRICH DEBATE ---POSSIBLE GOP TICKET

CAIN, GINGRICH DEBATE ---POSSIBLE GOP TICKET

As I watched the debate last night between Cain and Gingrich I could not help myself from thinking this would be a great GOP ticket to get America back on the right track.  

With Cain you have a man that knows how the financial system of this country works, knows how to create jobs and just where the government is too involved.   While some would have us apologizing for America, Cain passionately believes in America. He repeatedly calls Americans to pursue our historic ideals of liberty, justice, and goodness. Although we won’t always achieve these ideals, that’s no reason to abandon their pursuit or downplay their rightness.  America is unique and exceptional and worth celebrating. Cain would inspire us toward our best.  We don't need just a good speaker, but we do need someone who can use the Presidential platform to inspire Americans to our highest and best
ideals. Cain can do it.

With Gingrich you have what I believe is missing from Washington, a Statesman.  Gingrich knows how Washington works and he is very intelligent on the history of the country.  He is the most eloquent speaker the GOP has running, and can out debate any other candidate on how this country was formed and what the framers and founders meant when they put together the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  Gingrich too knows how the economy works; after all he did have a part in balancing the budget back in the 90’s.  And yes Gingrich has some baggage, but who doesn’t?  As Christians we are to forgive and forget (as long as they are not continuing in their dishonest behavior).  Hopefully he has learned from his mistakes and become a better man as a result.  Some people will say that Obama and the democrats will use his past mistakes against him, well if that is all they have, let them go ahead and do it.  Gingrich will run against all of Obama’s record while he was President.  I believe that will be a fight Gingrich will win.

There have been too many politicians in DC over the years and not enough Statesmen.  To me the difference in a politician and a Statesman is, a politician runs on promises he can’t keep and Statesman runs on principles he believes in.

I believe that both men are Statesmen and have a core set of principles that they will govern by.   

We also need somebody in the Whitehouse that will talk to the American people and make them feel good to be Americans.  Our current resident doesn’t do that, maybe on occasion he does, but for the most part he is either belittling some part of our society, or telling us how bad we are to the rest of the world.
