Why did that guy smoke? Why did herman cain do a troll-face?
I seriously think Cain is just trolling the GOP. If he were to win the nomination and be all like Y'ALL GOT TROLLED he would be the king of the internet.

I mean, case in point:
It worked for bush. I agree with occupy not really knowing what they are trying to do, but good job defending investment banking with the whole that happened 3-8 years ago never mind that it still is raping the economy today.

Anti-capitalism, lol. I'll tell you what's anti-capitalism: Too big to fail. I can't believe the absurd things that come out of his mouth. "That was 2008, this is 2011." Yea, uh, okay...
There's no way he will win anything with rhetoric like this. Obama's playing it safe, the warrior of the "middle class". He embraces occupy wall street, saying the people are "frustrated, and rightfully so" while at the same time using double speak and defending wall street. But then you've got Cain basically blasting not only poor people but everyone in the middle class that lost their jobs because some company went overseas or the economic collapse caused downsizing... who is going to vote for him?
And the best tax plan he has is to increase the burden on poor people, while at the same time telling them that it's their fault they're poor? That's what he's trying to sell to voters? No, sir, we do not like this product.
I say Obama's got this in the bag if Cain gets anywhere near the GOP nomination.
Please, America, don't elect Cain. Whereas Obama and Romney won't make your country any more livelier and better off, at least they won't ruin the whole world like Cain would.
I was just browsing around and saw several clips from news channels that 1) questioned his intelligence and 2) questioned his attitude towards even his own race. He "jokes" that he will install an electrified Mexico border fence, only to insist its a joke, but then it might be serious, but then really, he just wants to offend nobody. He categorically hates Muslims, and identifies with white and fanatically conservative group who actually have more in common with the 99% but somehow are supporting his 9-9-9 which will benefit the 1% more than all else (flat taxes are regressive, that's the end of it, and OP's fairtax.org link is a group headed by businessmen, also, I believe Laffer's endorsement is in terms of overall tax revenue, not the equality facet of taxation (I do, however, share his view that taxes should be lower overall)).
Plus despite the focus on the economic side of the presidency, we mustn't forget about foreign policy. Obama's economic inability has overshadowed his diplomatic prowess. He handled Libya deftly, not committing until Gaddaffi was good as defeated, and only jumping in at the last moment to claim all the friendship of the NTC. He embraces his black minority heritage and uses that to befriend Africa and Muslims. His pulling out of Iraq will surely win him favours in the UN, and in all, he doesn't make foreigners hate him. Whereas Cain wouldn't know the name of the President of Nigeria (I don't know either, but I'm not running for President), he'll increase tensions between America and Islam who are already mired in generations of misunderstanding (you can live in peace if you actually tried), and he'll probably start a trade war with China only for it to backfire spectacularly. (Romney will, too, but that's another rant for another thread )
That's not the first time I've ranted about Cain, but I do hope it's the last.
This guy is ridiculous. How is he so close to the GOP nomination? I would personally want Ron Paul or Jon Huntsman to take the nomination but theyre too principled and/or too moderate for most Republicans to vote for them. As long as they dont vomit out talking points they really dont stand a chance
