Herman Cain

I have the same thing and also blew off filing in 2010 because I was needed for much of the filing and was too busy recovering from surgery and agressive chemo. Do you really think he intentionally tried to get away with skipping out on a MASSIVE 8k bill state tax bill? Do you really think in all his years of filing on time that this one time he was going to somehow outsmart the IRS? Get a frigging clue...that's some pretty deep digging compaired to scum like Barney Frank or little Timmy Gietner don't ya think?

With all his money he doesn't have a CPA?

CB, he's the front runner and all attacks count. IMO, it could have been the RNC that gave the MSM the info... They're that afraid of Mr. Cain. The estabishment Republicans are running around, "like they're heads are on fire and they're a$$es are catch'in"...

Yes......

And CB, it is still a tax lein he had put on him just 3 years ago. Remember this man is running to control all of the United States economy.

Do you think he's really running to be elected or just running for president to sell his book?

Last year around tax time my dad was in the hospital for about four weeks slipping in & out of reality. The family was much more concerned about him than his returns but we did file an extension.

But this took over two years to resolve. He had tons of notices and warnings of the lien and it took them actually putting on the lien to finnaly pay it.

Honestly I am not sure. SO many are questioning that. Now his campaign said they are going to slow things down and give him time to rest. And he only had, last they said, 4 people in Iowa and 5 in NH. And look were he has been campaigning! In States that don't have primaries till March! I don't get it! Alabama, Georgia and other southern states where he may not even make it to unless he wins one of the first 5 or 6. He has no money. Why isn't he spending what he has in Iowa, NH, Nevada, SC (he has a couple times there), or Fla? It is as though he really doesn't want to win. And not ONE good ad out yet. He is being attacked in ads and has no ads defending himself or giving other points. And now they are going to slow down? AND he has said that promoting his book IS campaigning. He doesn't understand how it works.

Unorthodox campaigning? I saw Herman on Hannity last week. That is a low cost but effective way to reach the Republican voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Makes more sense to me than shaking hands at diners in Council Bluffs. Plus being interviewed on Fox is a much better way to explain your platform than talking to a few hundred people in a high school cafeteria.

The press has changed a lot in the past 20 years, maybe time for campaigns to change too.

Just look at Obama, being on Jay Leno reached milions more voters than the few thousand he spoke to in Denver.

and had to pay for a ticket.

Cain did buy a lot of commercials on Rush's show.

Wonder if Rush would be more likely to support someone who is buying air time on his program?
