Bump!

[RockyMtnMan]

This should be a lively thread. Cain himself addressing many of the same claims I’ve heard many times on FR.

[Paperdoll]

And another bump

I love Cain, the headline on Drudge made me happy then I saw Zero was taking his tax funded black buses on another campaign tour, and that soured my mood!

[commish]

But but but The establishment RINO’s told me he can’t win and this is nothing but a VAT!

[Pigsley]

I wish somebody would explain “bump” to me...but I guess it means to add interest to the thread....So...BUMP...BUMP..BUMP..MR. CAIN...CAIN...

[Paperdoll]

We need to get rid of the rusty, crusty career politicians in Washington in order to restore the country back to it’s Constitutional Republic status! The president can only lead. We need fresh faces to follow! Scrape the Commies out of Congress, and happy days will be here again!

[Paperdoll]

And incidentally.

I use “bump” as a means to file away a thread for future reference.

[RockyMtnMan]

Which appears to be identical to the source I posted. I got the link from the official Herman Cain page on Facebook. I’m assuming only official members of the campaign can post to the FB page and doubly so as Herman Cain.

[Carry_Okie]

I'd really like to see a credible Cain v. Hillary poll. My gut tells me Zero won't run again.

[RitaOK]

TRUCE....?

I do think it is cool that Cain has a war room for damage control purposes, and HE is it! He is his own war room. Given my tag line, I having been wishing for more of that kind of gumption for my guy and for quite some time to no avail. Good for Cain.

Typically it’s used to move the story to the top of the latest/most active news list for greater visibility. Some people use it to “mark” the thread for later reading and others will use a “ping”.

I’m in the camp of “it won’t get out of Congress.”

Anyone who has looked at the Congress in the last 20 years knows why it won’t get out of Congress.

Simplifying the tax code strips Congress of their power.

Look at what happened after the Reagan tax reform of ‘86. We crushed the layer cake of brackets, got rid of dozens of cherished deductions and tax shelters in the code.

In the next 20 years, Congress sold their ability to put those back in to the highest bidders.

Selling tax code changes is 80% of the business of Congress and is the real source of their power.

Before the creation of the IRC, Congress wasn’t in session anywhere nearly as much per year as they are now.

The only way this plan gets through the Congress is a POTUS has to declare martial law, use the Marines to imprison all of Congress, pass it by fiat and get the country operating on it for two full tax years before releasing Congress from prison. Once people become accustomed to the reduction in paperwork and have sorted out the changes, they’d prefer that to the amount of money and time spent dealing with the current tax code, even if they’re paying some more.

Very well reasoned and written. Some of Cain's responses to the questions border on brilliant. My favorite:

Claim 2: Creating a new tax is merely setting the stage for higher rates on all taxes, as untrustworthy politicians will surely raise them. Response: First of all, that is not a criticism of the 9-9-9 plan. It is a criticism of politicians. If you don’t want the rates raised, don’t elect politicians who will raise them.

The more people hear and read from him about this the more they are going to appreciate the plan and the man behind it, especially the fact that he will approach the Presidency as a problem-solver, not a politician.

[RockyMtnMan]

I’ve resolved to never bash opponents only offer my opinion of their ideas. What stands out in this response from Cain is his statement:

“Politicians propose things that can pass. Problem-solvers propose things that can work.”

To me that’s a testament to his way of thinking and exactly what I want to hear.

I wouldn’t have any trouble voting for Perry but would much rather vote for Cain.

[Paperdoll]

Sorry, I don’t have time to read links this AM. I have a bunch of Concerned Women of America coming to my house for a meeting shortly. God bless.

Yes, I have been wondering a little about Hillary. But, she would have to be begged first, and begged just as vociferously as she was publically dissed and dumped by her pals, who favored Obama. She likely will let them all stew in their own juices, however, and she will retire relagating them all to kissing her feet for their errors and responding to anything and everything she asks in the future. This will include all things Chelsea, her pet projects, her political endorsements, etc. BHillary will be the permanent sages of the Left into oblivion. All that “smart power”.
