We have lived thru 3 years of pelosi telling us she (libs) are ethical and 3 years of obama speeches , only to discover his rhetoric does not match his motives. We have reason to be careful and vette our candidates.
But on the same thought, with any idea, especially one changing tax code, requires planning and excution. So, on the surface, I like the 999 plan. I like its simplicity. In business, simple is cheaper. Do I want more info? Of course I do, but I've experienced ideas scuttled because the delivery and timing was wrong. In vetting Mr Cain, I've had a couple of issues with a few comments, but nothing major. If anything, he exhibits a knack to understand his missteps and overcome them. He is now flourishing in the debates......I like the fact he can learn on the run, so to speak.
Don't forget the fact he is a businessman. Its how he thinks and imo, it is why he is delivering his 999 plan as he is.....Think of it as a product....And he has two, the 999 plan and himself. He is selling both. He has watched other products blow all thier grand opening budget in the first few weeks and now no one is buying and it doesn't matter why. Allow him to grow his brand.
I know it is hard.....We conservatives have been burned....We don't want to be burned again. We have an agenda and by god, we want it, we deserve it....But, (there is always a but) two things. First, my gut....and my gut likes and trusts this guy. Second, I like him because he branding himself, just like he did his business...and it led to success. The other guys (and gals) are over in the discount bin today, feverishly attempting to be relevant or attempting to re brand an old product.
So I'll give him leeway. Some rope. I've made an investment and he hasn't reached my stop limit. Actually, he is appreciating in value.
