Dear Bill O’Reilly,
I am writing you this letter because you are in the unique position of being able to boost the profile of the single-most-conservative candidate in the Republican nomination process. It is already the Spring of 2011, and with an election less than two years away and counting, lines are being drawn and primary voters are picking their sides. By this time in the 2008 Presidential race John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama had all announced their run for the top spot in the White House, so for all those in the media (this includes you Bill) still holding their breath for a Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, or Chris Christie to swoop in and run for the nomination, it’s time to stop speculating about potential candidates and start paying attention to the real candidates running, which brings me to Herman Cain.
In January of this year, I noticed Mr. Cain was gaining steam among the Republican base when he easily beat out Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie, Rick Santorum, Mitch Daniels, and Newt Gingrich in a New Hampshire straw poll. Most recently, he was invited to speak at a Tea Party Patriot gathering in Phoenix, where he won their presidential straw poll. Not only does he continue to outperform the media’s expectations, but his message has really struck a chord with the Tea Party, who will decide the next election without a doubt.
As a Tea Party member, a successful businessman, and a true conservative to boot, Herman Cain brings to the table a flawless conservative candidate who doesn’t carry the baggage of a Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, or Mitt Romney. As if that weren’t enough, he is widely credited with helping bring down Hillary-Care in the 90’s when he confronted President Clinton in a town hall meeting that was broadcast on national television. If it had not been for Herman Cain, health care would have been forced on the American public long before President Obama thought about running for President. If there’s one issue that will dominate the 2012 election it is Healthcare and Herman Cain has the ability to win that debate.
With grassroots support and a message that is catching fire among the base, the only thing between Herman Cain, the long-shot GOP candidate, and Herman Cain, Republican Party front-runner, is the media boosting his profile, which is where the O’Reilly Factor comes into play. As the number one cable news show with a nightly audience in the millions, an in-depth interview on your program would thrust Herman Cain into the spotlight in such a way that he could no longer be ignored by the national media. Plus with a message like, “Stupid people are ruining America” you gotta’ agree with the guy, right Bill? Do America a favor, and have Herman Cain on the Factor!
Signed,
Les Dowrey
bill’s probing mind is too busy with his herd of moo cows.
Why does anyone get the odd notion that O’Reilly is a conservative?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Oh so it’s ok to trash a fellow Conservative like Palin as long as this RINO supports your candidate?
The difference here for me is, if Bill was going after Cain, I wouldn’t be looking at it as an opportunity to beg the attacker, but would be the first to criticize this shlub.
Thats the difference between people who want to fix America and those who want their guy to win. In that light, your letter looks quite pathetic at a time when we need to stand together against people like Bill who talks down to Conservatives while elevating true radical lefties.
bttt
He has never voted for a Republican. He has never endorsed a Republican. He has never harshly questioned a Democrat who counted when it counted. O'Reilly is a niche marketer whose assigned role in the media in to keep white, Catholic, blue collar 35-65 men on the Democrat Team. And to keep them confused. He has truly earned his pay with his twisting and spinning of the eligibility issue and his endless soft-soaping of Obama.
“I would like to send this letter to Bill O’Reilly”
Who is Bill O’Reilly?
Is he related to Mr. Bill, or is he the guy that runs an auto parts company? I have heard their commercials on the radio.
I missed the punch line.
Virtues and Values? LOLOL
Beg a guy who trashes fellow Conservatives?
How about a new name Tactics and Lack of principle?
What makes you think he would have any interest in doing this?
Brilliant idea Les. Next time you have a brainstorm, please keep it to yourself.
Odd notion indeed, why this writer would think Bore O’Really cares about anyone other then himself.
The fact this writer even thinks Bore is conservative or cares makes me wonder about Cain.
I feel like I need to defend myself a little here. I know O’Reilly is not a conservative...but I also know he has a large viewing audience and in order to win an election you have to become part of the national conversation. Like it or not, that is the way it works. All I want to do is make sure Herman Cain gets the same amount of media coverage as the other candidates. It’s not about propping up O’Reilly...it’s about giving Herman Cain a large forum where you can reach more voters and make a bigger impact in the GOP primary. What’s wrong with that?
Simply... he is not objective at all..
Les is a Huck fan, only been on here a couple of months....
A Huck fan?! Seriously? Let me direct you to one of my first posts on this site “Raising Cain”.
“Huckabee? When Mike Huckabee’s not busy commuting the sentences of known murderers and rapists, he is supporting Michelle Obama’s nanny-state agenda about what our children eat.”
Give me a break. I am not a Huckabee fan...I am a Herman Cain fan! Herman Cain is the only true conservative running for the GOP nomination, and he is by far more electable than any other candidate out there. The only reason I want to get him on the O’Reilly Factor is for Herman Cain to reach a larger audience and become a bigger part of the conversation in the 2012 race...If everyone could stop thinking of him as a long-shot candidate he would have a great chance to become the next President! That is all.
Herman is my man!
