Everybody and their uncle and aunt knows Cain has turned on TARP like a hot potato. To fail to mention this is to lie by omission.
Herman Cain is full of bluster and gets to hide behind the race card with us. HE is not fairing so well with African
Americans, a lot of retired folks dont care for his 9% national sales tax and he just took a big poke at hispanics but that is another matter.
It sure must be nice to not get hammered on the issues.. I don’t wish to hit Cain unfairly, so let me say that Romney is taking a cake walk.
Here Cain says TARP was not implemented correctly and he would let the banks fail if it happened now.

Well since you diverted the thread to perry with you initial post why dont you go ahead.
This isn’t vetting. It’s bashing from the biggest Rick Perry supporter on FR.
Perry supporters have been bashing the Tea Party, Sarah Palin and now Herman Cain ever since Perry got into the race.
Then they whine about Rick Perry getting “brutalized.”
You know what? Every time they smear Herman Cain or the Tea Party, the more popular they become and the more Rick Perry declines. It’s a really stupid way to support a candidate.
I came to this thread looking for the honest vetting of Cain in the headline. There are about three posts’ worth of that in the thread. The rest is back-and-forth between Perry fans and haters.
As someone who doesn’t understand many economic issues, I come to threads about economics and taxes and Wall Street sans occupiers because there are some interested and smart folks on those issues who post here.
I hope a few of them show up on this thread to talk about the subject of this article.
I’m still wide open, really like Bachmann but don’t think she has much of a chance.
I live in a state with no income tax but a hefty sales tax from which the state gets most of its revenue. The last 9 of 9,9,9 means that my sales tax would be 18 percent (9% federal, 9% state.) I think it important that in a Federal system, the national government keep its hands off the sales tax. So, Herman, I’m willing to talk about 9,9 but not willing to go for 9,9,9.
Interesting post & thread. Thanks to all posters.
Herman Cain is going to be vetted for the 2012 election?
Is Obama going to be vetted for the 2012 election?
Is Cain perfect? NO! But, he’s a damned sight better than Romney. Plus, I’m pragmatic enough not to allow “perfect” to be the enemy of “good enough”.
Absolutely nothing wrong with vetting Herman Cain. But the Perry people are not the ones to do it. They have a dog in this fight - a big, slow-witted dog, admittedly, but a dog nonetheless.
