hen81 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 What are the real world effects if Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain’s 999 tax plan went into effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeon Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Bro Herman is pathetic. I watched him last night in an interview with Piers Morgan and I had to turn my head in embarrassment. This man has zero understanding of international and foreign policy and has no expertise nor savvy in politics (something he openly admits). His shrill rhetoric and defense of the Tea Baggers is a sham. Every credible independent tax policy and analysis entity has dismissed the viability of his vague and misleading 9-9-9 fantasy. His flip flops, retractions and FUBAR's have become the standard for his speeches. But it is funny to see a colored guy as a major GOP contender......for now......

Troy Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Can you image two different Black men as consecutive US Presidents? Wow. While I'm not convinced that Cain will emerge as the GOP candidate it would be a fascinating study of American politics -- too bad the future of our country is on the line... Missed ya Xeon.

Cynique Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 What would be equally mind-blowing would be a presidential race that pitted Cain against Abel - oops - I mean Obama. White people would then have to do what Blacks have done since they were granted the right to vote: choose between 2 candidates of the same race. Cain serves a valuable purpose. He deflects accusations of racism being hurled at the Republican party, and would make an ideal figure head president, serving at the behest of the powers behind the throne. He would be America's token CEO, beholden only to the shareholders represented by corporate America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Oh my. What a quandary. I would have to go beyond my shallow ‘voting for the Black man because he’s Black’ huh? Naw. The walk talks. You got this Mr. President! Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Cynique it seems to me your description of a future Cain presidency "beholden only to the shareholders represented by corporate America" would fit Obama, Clinton, Bush I, Bush II...
