You have posted many times your opinion of his tax plan, experience, etc. Nothing I can offer will be viewed with reason, but will only provide fodder for your rants against him.
In addition, trying to trash Cain will not promote Perry. Perry has presented his own problems, unconnected to Cain.
No, it is a serious question that NO Cain supporter can answer. No one has a valid reason why they support him and no one even wants to try. I guess there aren't any? If there are, please tell us!
I've noticed the link to Numbers USA in your sig line... Viking doesn't want any more legal brown skinned people in this country either. Do I see a trend?
1. Perry almost tripled the Texas state debt, from $12.7 billion in 2001 to $34.08 billion in 2009. Texas began borrowing money in 2003 to pay for roads and sold $2 billion in bonds (debt) for unemployment benefits, and it's authorized to sell $1.5 billion more if necessary;
2. Perry signed a budget this year that is balanced only through the use of accounting gimmicks, such as delaying payment on bills coming due in 2013;
3. 10% of Texas’ hourly laborers earn less than the $7.25 an hour minimum wage, sharing that bottom of the barrel distinction with Mississippi;
4. Texas’ unemployment rate is 8.2%, higher than in 25 other states, including liberal Massachusetts and New York (CNN Money);
5. Perry made Houston the smog capital of the nation, according to the Houston mayor’s report;
6. Nearly 26% of children in Perry's Texas live in poverty;
7. Financial connections between Perry and the human papilloma virus vaccine's manufacturer, Merck. Merck's political action committee has contributed $28,500 since 2001 to Perry's campaigns;
8. Perry's Ni**erhead hunting property;
9. Anti-Mormon stance of Perry's campaign associates;
10. Perry believes that citizens of foreign countries deserve our tax money to go to our colleges in our state funded education systems. Texas is a sanctuary state for illegal foreigners.
Viking, these are the reasons that I support Herman Cain. Does this sound stupid to you?
Well, let's turn it around and say I support Perry because Cain..............
Well, Viking, that is also stupid
