I’m happy if Cain’s catchy little 999 comes down to your level. He’s a hellofa lot more complex man than that, aspiring to a hellofa lot more complex job than that. I sure hope the average voter does not need 999 to think Cain is smart or to understand him. If that’s the standard, then we are in a lot worse shape than most imagine.

Wow. That was completely uncalled for.
For the last 12 years I’ve been watching the conservative message being lost in a sea of disingenuous liberal soundbites.
The average voter does not delve into the world of history, psychology, human-nature and politics in depth. They are snagged by the five-second clip, the bumper sticker or the catch-phrase. The younger voters are particularly susceptible to this. (This is how democrats are able to get away with out-right lies.)
One of the reasons that the idea of the Fair Tax has stalled is that it simply takes too much time to explain. It doesn’t catch the attention of these (idiots who have no right to be voting in the first place) people who don’t pay close attention.
Herman Cain has the ability to snag these people. Sadly, they are becoming the majority as public schools and parents fail to educate the generations. (’hope and change’ anyone?)
So Cain snags people’s attention with the clip, then it’s up to the individual to delve deeper into the details, if they are so inclined. A large number of people will follow if the soundbite makes since to them.
If you don’t like it, then take us back to the days when only landowners could vote. That would eliminate a lot of the riff-raff.

That reply took much more thought and consideration than your unprovoked insult warranted.
