Who is Herman Cain

He's the establishment's boy, that's who. He came in second behind Ron Paul in the GOP debates in SC.
YouTube - Who is Herman Cain?

Fox news has been lying and pulling all kinds of tricks to try and say that Cain won the GOP debate. This ass clown Luntz on Faux news had a 'focus' group of 'undecided' voters that said Cain won. Luntz has been caught lying before and has again. The supposed 'undecided' participants are nothing more than shills.
YouTube - Fox News and Frank Luntz caught red-handed!
Futhermore, Faux news is now on it's 3rd poll of who won the debate. Ron Paul keeps winning, so they keep pulling it down and seemingly padding it with Cain votes to try and get one that shows he won.

Re: Who is Herman Cain

Herman Cain questioned in Nashville

Herman Cain supported the Big Banker Bailouts and chided those who believe in Free Market Economics... in his own words:
http://004eeb5.netsolhost.com/hc133.htm
I politely attempted to question Herman Cain on his support of the TARP Bailout and tried to obtain his opinion on the fact that billions of American Tax Payer Dollars went to Foreign Banks... As a Tea Party member who is deciding on who I should support for the Republican Primary I was shocked to hear him say "That's too long of a question to answer" Mr. Cain seems very protective of the Federal Reserve and their secretive financial transactions.. He has lost my vote...
Which Banks borrowed billions/trillions from the Fed during the Financial Crisis?

Re: Who is Herman Cain

Herman Cain's Enron-esque Disaster

The story the GOP presidential candidate won't tell you about his years in corporate America.

"As chair of the compensation committee, Cain also saw fit to dole out $30 million in bonuses, not including stock options, to the top five execs at Aquila in 2002, with the company's stock plummeting. A month after the Kansas City Star reported on the hefty bonuses in July 2002, the company laid off 500 employees, and the losses to employees holding company stock had reached hundreds of millions of dollars."


"As a board member, Cain would've had direct knowledge of Aquila's activities, says Fred Taylor Isquith, a New York attorney who litigated the employee class action. Asked if it was fair to place blame on Cain for the debacle at Aquila, Isquith replied, "Yes, I believe it is."



Will Cain Flip-Flop Just 4 Months Later?

An article from the Atlantic in late May quoted Herman Cain as saying "I don't believe that the president of the United States should order the assassination of citizens of the United States. That's why we have our court system, and that's why we have our laws."

Now that Anwar al-Awlaki has been executed in Yemen, we await for Herman Cain's response. Will he flip-flop and join the clear majority of Americans who agreed with it? or will he stick to his principles, even if it means being with the minority of opinions?

His Plan;

Phase 1 - 9-9-9
Current circumstances call for bolder action.
The Phase 1 Enhanced Plan incorporates the features of Phase One and gets us a step closer to Phase two.
I call on the Super Committee to pass the Phase 1 Enhanced Plan along with their spending cut package.
The Phase 1 Enhanced Plan unites Flat Tax supporters with Fair tax supporters.
Achieves the broadest possible tax base along with the lowest possible rate of 9%.
It ends the Payroll Tax completely – a permanent holiday!
Zero capital gains tax
Ends the Death Tax.
Eliminates double taxation of dividends
Business Flat Tax – 9%
Gross income less all investments, all purchases from other businesses and all dividends paid to shareholders.
Empowerment Zones will offer additional deductions for payroll employed in the zone.
Individual Flat Tax – 9%.
Gross income less charitable deductions.
Empowerment Zones will offer additional deductions for those living and/or working in the zone.
National Sales Tax – 9%.
This gets the Fair Tax off the sidelines and into the game.


Phase 1 Enhanced Plan – Summary
Unites all tax payers so we all pay income taxes and no one pays payroll taxes
Provides the least incentive to evade taxes and the fewest opportunities to do so
Lifts a $430 billion dead-weight burden on the economy due to compliance, enforcement, collection, etc.
Is fair, neutral, transparent, and efficient
Ends nearly all deductions and special interest favors
Ends all payroll taxes
Ends the Death Tax
Features zero tax on capital gains and repatriated profits
Lowest marginal rates on production
Allows immediate expensing of business investments
Eliminates double taxation of dividends
Increases capital formation. Capital per worker drives productivity and wage growth
Capital formation will aid capital availability for small businesses
Features a platform to launch properly structured Empowerment Zones to revitalize our inner cities
We all know the Fed has tripled the money supply since 2008. They have been printing money out of thin air to finance the Obama spending machine. While true Fed reform that restores sound money may have to wait for my election, the best thing we can do now is to pursue policies that increase the DEMAND for dollars to help mitigate the risks associated with the increase in the supply.
Pro-growth economic policies equal a strong dollar policy

Re: Who is Herman Cain

This guy worked for the Federal Reserve...and people are actually considering voting for him?

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?...."

Re: Who is Herman Cain

Herman Cain Exposed: The Patriot Act

"Herman Cain said recently in an interview with The Atlantic (link) that he agrees with 90% of The Patriot Act, which is arguably the most detrimental attack on our civil liberties since our emancipation from the British in 1776. When asked what the 10% he disagreed with was, he only gave a vague dismissive response, which indicates that he probably hasn’t read it (as most people haven’t) but wanted to retain for himself an exit strategy if ever criticized on the issue.

Though most Americans arbitrarily support the Patriot Act in respect to how “9/11 changed our way of life”, few are aware that the Patriot Act was authored long before that date. This negates that notion altogether and confirms that 9/11 was craftily used as a convenient device to instate the legislation..."
