I don't have time to go back through the comments but it has been a huge topic. Because Perry has money it means he is a crony capitalist and is corrupted. It has been repeated time and again.

If you've been reading any of these threads you've had to have seen it.

The truth is candidates need funds to run a campaign and Cain had better hope he gets lots of it.

So you can't cite a single example of anybody saying "Perry is bad because he has money," despite your claim that you've seen it "over and over."

Crony capitalism is not "having money," so its not the same charge. Crony capitalism means that you take money from private interests to influence your decisions on public policy. People have charged Perry with that, based on some of some of his controversial decisions and the fact that those decisions benefitted people who had given him significant amounts of money.

It's not possible to charge Cain with this as he's not made public policy.

But nobody has said Perry is bad simply because he has money. That a nonsense charge that you simply made up.
