Herman Cain is the current conservative fave in the not-Romney GOP race to the bottom. Because the Teaparty thinks the problem with the economy is there aren’t enough part-time minimum wage pizza delivery jobs:
Cain checks in as the first choice of 27 percent of Republican voters in the poll, followed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 23 percent and Perry at 16 percent. After those three, it’s Texas Rep. Ron Paul at 11 percent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 8 percent, Bachmann at 5 percent and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman at 3 percent.
The thought of running against a repugnant, delusional megalo-maniac is a pleasant one. But how long can Cain stay on top if, or rather when, retirees — and those of us within bottle-rocket range of retirement — discover his center-piece 9-9-9 plan is not only somewhere between nationally devastating and ludicrous, it would cut off Social Security and Medicare?
Oh, come on. I’m ready to vote for him….
In the GOP primary. If they really want to bring the crazy, let’s help them to it.
I wonder if anyone has told Mr. Cain that 999 is the equivalent of 911 in many countries, including the UK. I’m not sure whether he’d find that upsetting, or proof he’s on the right track.
But how will he distinguish himself from the other republican candidates?
