Forgive me for beating a dead horse on this. I’ve made a five-minute video and a resource page on Cain, and I’ve written this post and this post. I just cannot get over the fact that we are faced with unprecedented economic dangers, we see default coming in Greece and catastrophes all over the continent, and people think what we need is a guy so clueless that he couldn’t perceive a bubble economy staring him in the face?

Only Ron Paul predicted what’s happening to a T: he warned of the NASDAQ bubble, and then warned that Greenspan was replacing that bubble with a housing bubble. Who has a better track record and a better grasp on our situation than Ron Paul?
