Herman Cain speaks in such simple sentences and terms... I don't know how people think this guy is some great economist/philosopher.

And when asked a question with some bite to it, he always give some sly remark like "well, we have a difference of opinion, let's move on."

Ron Paul should bring that up at the next debate. "Mr. Cain, what kind of advisers will you surround yourself with? Perhaps I should advise you on who should advise you since I saw the housing bubble and economic collapse before you or your advisers did? Better yet, maybe you should drop out of the race and let those of us who know what we're doing make choices."

In the debate he said he was here for 9-9-9.

So he's here to tax you.

That's his big plan? Define how he's going to tax you?

But the Tea Party people know better, they know that for the first 100 years there was a federal surplus and NO DIRECT TAXES on the People, who are sovereign, above the government, creators of the government, the boss, and thus can't be taxed directly.

Why wasn't any of that info in the text books in high school?

I'm a bit worried about Cain and his army of the uninformed. They seem to be multiplying like gerbils. I know we're all on the "trend of the week" kick...but these people seem like a dangerously moronic hive-mind:

Nah... Cain won't survive sounding this stupid on the economy. As long as we strike while the iron is hot we should be able to unseat him.

Cain is a liar (again).

His defense, to why he didn't see the economic collapse coming:

When I wrote those papers I was only responding to reports that I like everybody else was getting through the media - those kind of public reports.

Here's a quote from one of "those papers":

As a reminder, we still have not had a recession since 2001, using the standard definition of a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. But don't tell the Democrats and the mainstream media. You might disrupt their imaginary recession.

Great catch. This deserves its own thread. Yet another lie we caught him in that we can spread around, this time letting people know he was clueless about the economy's imminent collapse.

Thank you.. I gleaned another good quote from there "At a minimum, the Cain plan is a distributional monstrosity. The poor would pay more while the rich would have their taxes cut, with no guarantee that economic growth will increase and good reason to believe that the budget deficit will increase."

"distributional monstrosity"... yep that just about sums it up.

All those years Herman Cain was at the Kansas City Federal Reserve, in corporate business, and that's the reply he gives Chuck Todd? That's something I may expect out of an 9th grader in an economics class when they don't know much.

hehe im honored. I can or someone else can put clips together (just simple without any effects), if you find the clips needed and note the time and for how long you want the clip to play. and then either write me or post on the forums.

like the format:

use music: http:\\youtube.com\link
scene 1
clip: http:\\youtube.com\link
use: 0:45-0:48
clip: http:\\youtube.com\link
use: 8:01-8:09
notes: fade to black
notes: start text on 1:05 of music track
text: "the Only One We Can Trust"
effect: zoom in slowly

if you have it laid out like that I can do that whole project with about 20 clips in 10 minutes. It's just really hard digging and finding the clips to use.

a simpler format is just clips:
clip: http:\\youtube.com\link use: 0:45-0:48
clip: http:\\youtube.com\link use: 8:01-8:09

then you can add your own music or whatever :) birdlady can also do editing if you guys need it (among others here, captainamerica, coffee..something) seriously we should have a list of people that can do edits hehehe!

It needs to be attributed to the copyright holder (the corporation's watermark is generally acceptable), but Fair Use laws generally allow as much content as is necessary to illustrate a point. This can get much more technical, but that's the general rule -- never use more content than necessary to make a comment on or illustrate a point.

If used in an official ad, you definitely want the copyright holder's (or holders') permission prior to airing it.

wait a minute, wait a minute....OK, I'm on the outside looking in, so I miss out on all the trends, and not following the minute by minute parts of the campaign, so I don't know anything about Cain.

BUT are you telling me, this CAIN guy WORKED in the federal reserve at some capacity, completely missed the housing bubble and 2008 meltdown, and his REASONING is all he had to work with is what the MEDIA told him?

You mean, a guy who works at a place where money, interest rates, and the economy is all they talk about and deal with, but HE CLAIMS all he had to work with was what the MEDIA told him? So therefore how could he predict what was happening?

So sitting at the federal reserve he had to use the MEDIA to figure out what was happening....AND THEN, on top of it....HE DISAGREED with the media, so he couldn't even get that right. But he had no detailed information at his disposal to possibly predict it.

And to solve this issue of him sitting in the federal reserve and not knowing WTF is going on, is to have people who can do ANALYSIS? First of all because he's admitted he can't do the analysis, and secondly is he saying those people apparently DONT WORK IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE???? Because obviously if they did, he would have referred to them WHILE HE WAS THERE!!!!!

It's like he's showing how fucking clueless he is, and how fucking clueless the FED is at the same time.

In my experience so far this cycle, it would appear that the Cain and Paul fence sitters are the ones who in their heart want Ron Paul but are still feeling uneasy about him due to the last time around when everyone said he was crazy and kooky and unelectable. Cain was a 'non politician' and a businessman and that attracts people........ until they realize that he is an ignoramus.

I hope RevPAC has seen this. They did a great job on the Plastic Man ad, and the "Chinese troops in Texas" ad was great despite the naysayers. They need to take this gaff along with some of Cain's other foibles, mix them in with Ron Paul and Peter Schiff accurately portraying what would happen in the economy.

Now how to boil this all down to 30 seconds? Theme? Why elect someone who didn't see the collapse coming but now plans to surround himself with people who supposedly could have when you could just elect somehow who actually did see the collapse coming, sees the next one also, and has a real plan to prevent it?

Not to defend Cain, but there were some misunderstandings (and spin) in that interview.

When Cain said he was listening to the media about the economy, I guarantee that he was listening to Larry Kudlow. That was back in the days when Kudlow spent every single day disputing that there was any problems or bubbles at all in the economy. It was the "Goldilocks economy", and we had "King Dollar" and Alan Greenspan was "the Maestro". He would have Peter Schiff on his show, and he and his cohorts would make fun of him.

The media was almost unanimously in denial about any problems, which makes Chuck Todd's assertion that the media was "right" completely wrong. Ron Paul and Peter Schiff were complete outsiders, and if they were mentioned by the media, it was to ridicule their positions.

dunno why he makes such a big deal about he ADMITS it. I mean, the proof is there, he could not lie about it..so he thinks by saying he knows he was wrong is any big deal? If he did not know it he would be an idiot. In fact, there are a whole LOT of things Cain does not know, and he hopes his elite buddies are going to tell him exactly what to do. JERK!

My "speculation" about Herman Cain's economic advisers has been confirmed. Cain has revealed that Stephen Moore and Art Laffer helped to develop the 9-9-9 plan. They are peas-in-a-pod buddies with Larry Kudlow, and regulars on his show (and they were regularly opposing Peter Schiff and Ron Paul).

Epic fail. Ron MUST bring this up in the next debate.

Maybe. I would MUCH rather see this in a TV ad with Joe Scarbrough telling everyone on his show how Ron Paul predicted everything and then have a Ron Paul sound bite actually predicting it. Cain would then be revealed as the fraud that he is and Ron Paul the genius that he is. In the meantime we need to make this go viral
