CAIN "INSANE"

Don’t be VAT stupid

By Herman Cain November 21, 2010

{{ A national retail sales tax on top of all the confusing and unfair taxes we have today is insane! It gives the out-of-control bureaucrats and politicians in denial one more tool to lie, deceive, manipulate and destroy this country. }}

LAST YEAR, Herman Cain called a major plank of his own current 9-9-9 plan an "INSANE ... tool to lie, deceive, manipulate and destroy this country."

 I finally found something I heartily agree with about Herman Cain.

CAIN LIED in DEBATE!

Even the media is giving Paul his props on this incident.

DID CAIN REALLY SAVE GODFATHER'S PIZZA?

Is Herman Cain Really Such A Great Turnaround Businessman After All?

Cain did make immediate changes. He closed 20% of the company's restaurants, and fired between 300 and 400 people.

While Cain regularly claims he took a business leaking $8 million annually and turned a $4 million profit two years later, those figures are not available publicly and Cain has refused to release company records from the relevant years.

CAIN SUPPORTERS (Admittedly) RIG POLL

http://shark-tank.net/2011/10/07/20263/

Oh my! Too many people are VOTING for RON PAUL, so we have to disqualify 3/4 of his votes so we can claim Cain really won!

These Cain people are so dirty they should join the Obama administration. The Mafia would reject them on moral grounds.

CAIN REFUSES TO SEE BAD ECONOMY

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/05/herman-cain-occupy-wall-street_n_996265.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003

He says the recession and the housing bubble were "imaginary". He doesn't want to audit the Fed and was a former Fed Chairman. Yet he supported bailing out the banks frm this imaginary recession. And to top it off, Cain croons:

"If You Don't Have A Job And You're Not Rich, Blame Yourself"

 

Yes, Herm. I'll just go out to my job tree. It's right next to my money tree in the back yard.

CAIN FLIP-FLOP

Herman Cain Flip-Flopped on the Killing of Anwar al-Awlaki

 

 In May, he said the U.S. citizen could not be targeted for assassination legally. On Sunday, he praised Obama's decision.

 

TG: Is it any surprise that Herman had to check the wind direction on this one?

CAINSIAN ECONOMICS

ONE WEEK Before Collapse, Cain Says Economy Great

Amazingly, Herman Cain’s star continues to rise, which means Republicans think it’s all right for someone to endorse Mitt Romney, as Cain did, to support TARP (it’s not his fault, say supporters — he somehow had no idea it would be used to “pick winners and losers”!), and to be completely clueless about the condition of the economy right up to the moment of the collapse.

Now this really takes the cake: here is Herman Cain on September 1, 2008, saying the economy is in terrific shape.

Here’s what happened over the following two weeks:

– Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken over by the U.S. government (Sept. 7);
– Merrill Lynch was sold to Bank of America;
– Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy;
– The Fed bailed out AIG;
– Washington Mutual was sold to JP MorganChase;
– Treasury Secretary Paulson said the economy was so bad that $700 billion must be spent on bailouts immediately; otherwise, warned Ben Bernanke, “we may not have an economy on Monday.”

On September 1, 2008, Herman Cain was laughing at the “imaginary recession.” That is how clueless this man is.  That is also how clueless lots of Republicans are, since they think a guy this hopeless would make a good president during a time of general collapse, a collapse he didn’t even slightly see coming and whose nature escapes him completely.

And when the chips were down, Cain reflexively supported the Establishment by embracing the grotesque and indefensible TARP. He lectured “free-market purists” while doing it. But next time he’ll be a maverick and defy the Establishment, right?

Meanwhile, Ron Paul specifically warned in 2001 that Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve, whose NASDAQ bubble had just burst, were in the process of creating a housing bubble.  Here he is saying it: (see video on website).

He made comparably prescient statements over the next several years, while every single other Republican candidate in the running was either mute on the economy or actually thrilled with it.  Thus Joe Scarborough asked him: “How could it be that you knew this on the Banking Committee in 2003, and nobody else did until after the collapse?”
