I was already put off by him being a former member of the Fed and saying the Fed didn't need to be audited ... but this is the last straw.

Go right ahead and support Mr. Frodo. I'm supporting Cain. Besides, he wasn't in any position of power to do anything about TARP when it was passed.

Go sit on a spork.

So everyone that's for TARP is an *******...except if it's your guy thats for it.

Gotcha.

When I listened to Eric Ericson's radio show (editor of RedState and the guy who took over Cain's timeslot) Cain called in and was asked about his support of TARP.

He said he supported the idea, but thought that it was poorly managed and extended beyond the scope that he was comfortable with. FWIW.

Doesn't Cain also receive a paycheck still from Rupert Murdoch?

I have great respect for what Herman Cain has achieved in life, and he is every bit as qualified to be president as the incumbent, or the other "usual suspects" of both parties who always get their names mentioned in the media.

But, aside from all that, he has about the same chance of being nominated President (by either of the two major parties) as the people who post on this website. Everyone here understands that, right?

And that's what's wrong with our system.

As long as people who have accomplished nothing in life have a better chance to become president than people who have actually accomplished something, we're going to be poorly governed.

Look at the last five presidential candidates. Obama, McCain, Shrub, Kerry, Gore. Probably the biggest accomplishment of the five was McCain getting shot down in Vietnam. What does that say about our process?

Where is the melodramatic smilie...LOL.

I realize the current system sucks, but these guys did not get to where they got on a whim. You also can't callously dismiss what Obama has accomplished with his start in life as a black kid with a single white mother. Hate his politics all you want, but you can't deny that fact.

Exactly WHAT has Obama accomplished? What has he actually DONE? He's BEEN some interesting things, but he doesn't actually appear to have DONE anything useful while he was being any of those things.

I'm very serious. I simply can't assign much value to anything he has ever DONE. If you can identify something useful that he has accomplished, I'd be interested in knowing what it was.

And this is not political, I can't think of anything useful that any of them have done. Our political system is like Chance the Gardner on steroids. These guys may not have gotten there on a whim, but it wasn't much more than a whim.

How does having a white mother make his "accomplishments" any more impressive? Yes, life must have been brutal for him as he was ushered through private schools in Hawai'i. All he has done since becoming a career politician is to win an election, then immediately start campaigning for the next higher up position.

He is a self made millionaire and the leader of the free world. That's a little better than the 2,000,000 I scored on Galaga in 1987.

Funny how being a "self-made millionaire" is an accomplishment when you're a Democrat, but it means you're evil and greedy when you're a conservative. And America isn't exactly the "free world" anymore.

It's funny that's what you really think liberals believe.

Liberals want to be rich too

Poor conservatives...always the victim of the liberal superiority.
