I really like Herman Cain and a lot of the things he has to say. We seemed to be on the same page on most issues. But I found out something this week that has made me change my attitude a bit.
One of Herman's top advisers, Scott Toomey, is a homosexual and former treasurer of the Madison Pride Board. There are some allegations of misconduct against him stemming from when he held that position. Madison Pride said in 2008 that its board removed Toomey as treasurer after learning bills related to its 2007 event had not been paid and discovering other "financial discrepancies" that it said Toomey had failed to report. Toomey moved to Florida and "went underground" after the scandal. Toomey's promotional company also has been accused in court of not paying vendors. Toomey filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and reported more than $20,000 in pending legal judgments against him from companies and a credit union, court records show.
Having someone with such a shady background as a top adviser shows a distinct lack of judgment. In response to a question in Iowa on June 6, Cain said he would have no problem appointing gay staff members to work in the White House as long as they were qualified. Having someone who is proud of his sin as a top adviser shows a distinct lack of moral fiber. And that's a deal breaker for me!
