Cain continues to rub me the wrong way

I can't believe this guy is getting any traction at all.

First Cain shot his mouth off at the racist rock that had the N-word on it back in the 1980's prior to Rick Perry's family taking rights of the property. 

Then yesterday I hear him on Dave Ramsey saying that with his 9-9-9 plan, businesses would only be able to deduct purchases for products if they were made in the United States.   This is around the 16 minute mark on the Monday 10/10 show if you want to listen in over at DaveRamsey.com

That is in the top 10 list of dumbest statements ever made.  So if my bill of sale for a widget made of smaller widgets has 20 cents profit and 80 cents costs on widgets made outside the US, I now have a 50% tax rate on the net profit of my widget.  Either he's communicating very badly or he is clueless on what a global economy looks like.  Is the tech industry supposed to pull all of their billion dollar fabs in from other countries?

Now rule in that Cain misspoke on Dave's show.  This was a pretty friendly media.  The fact that he totally blundered communicating his own plan to a friendly host is a total face palm.

This guy is not a serious candidate.  I don't care how much he pisses off the congressional black caucus and all the other racebaiters.  If he communicates this badly or his ideas are this bad, he doesn't even belong on the podium.
