Cain does well for the most part on the debate stage. It's the actual campaigning that he just doesn't do. He reported having only $1million on hand for a national campaign. That won't cut it, and it sure won't cut it against Obama.
His team better have him prepped to defend his claim less than a year ago that a national sales tax is the worst thing the federal government could implement.
If the Presidential race was about MONEY Ron Paul would have been the nominee 6 times over and ‘Bammy’ would be unbeatable.
It won't be hard to defend. Time Magazine, liberal bloggers and other FReepers have been taking it out of context to smear Mr. Cain. Here is the full quote:
The worst idea is a proposed national sales tax, which is a disguised VAT (value added tax) on top of everything we already pay in federal taxes.
He was specifically speaking of a European VAT that was proposed by Democrats a few years ago to be added on top of our current taxes. It would have taxes every level of productong (a VAT) unlike Cain's proposed retail sales tax.
Don’t be VAT stupid by Herman Cain
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I don’t know what ‘campaigning’ he isn’t doing. He’s giving interviews on every news station every day. He’s giving his stump speech every day. He’s traveling all over the place.
What else do you want?
I don’t see Romney or Perry on the news daily.
Cain is working hard.
Wow. Two lies in the same post. Good job.
