He and Bachmann seem to be the most Constitutionally trustworthy of those currently on the stage and that's the most important criteria to me.

I totally respect your reverence for our Constitution.

But don't you agree that the Constitution gives Congress the right to issue money? Not some bogus "Federal Reserve System" which is owned and run by foreign bankers?

That's my main beef with Herman Cain. How can a man accept a position with the Federal Reserve who claims to respect The Constitution?

That's an excellent question and I'd like to hear his answer. If I'm wrong about him, then now's the time to find that out.

I can't dismiss him outright because he was a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's board of directors in 1992 and then served as its chairman from January 1995 to August 1996 until I hear more about that experience from Herman Cain himself.

As a younger man, I would have been very impressed by that experience and what it said about his competence.

As I've gotten older, I began to question the legitimacy of and need for many of the institutions I've grown up with and taken for granted, such as the Federal Reserve.
