I don't know whether this is accurate, and I have my doubts based on the source, but if true, blaming your potential voting base is asinine. He should be placing the blame squarely on Obama and the growth-killing policies of the federal government, not unemployed people who are trying to advance despite it all. Talk about reinforcing the worst elements of the stereotypes of conservatives as being the uncaring party of the rich. I hope this isn't true.

Mr. Cain said at the outset that he didn’t have the facts conceerning the protests, but he offered the interviewer his opinion os why they were occuring, and I agree with Mr. Cain. Organized protests to distract the public from Obama’s mischief and failures.

I doubt he was talking about young people. He was talking about people with families. Young people can blame the minimum wage laws for their plight.

But men and women with familiies to support should take any job they can get to bring in money for food and housing for their gamilies! unfortunately too many of them refuse to take a job less than the one they’ve lost and are happily collecting workmen’s c9omp, which the government keeps extending. Cut off the workmen’s comp, and those blood suckers would find a job fast enough! Wallstreet has nothing to do with it!

I think the protesters are those brainwashed people Mr. Cain referred to at one time.

God bless Herman Cain!

The term “Self-Made” is an alien concept for those protesting near wall street.

I don’t agree.

# 1 - He’s right.

# 2 - These people would never vote Republican ANYWAY. I hardly think they are anything less than Obama Democrat Plants.

We can expect a lot of Romney backing going on from all sources and in all possible manners. After all, Romney is the candidate of choice for the Democrats as they think they have a better chance of beating him and, well, heck, if he DOES get elected, he’s the LEAST conservative of the pack. After all, this worked back in 2007 and 2008 when they railroaded a REAL nitwit, John McCain, into winning the nomination.

Cain and Bachmann were the best genuine conservatives running. Bachmann is gone. Perry was ALMOST a conservative but he crashed and burned over the Illegal Aline issue and poor performance in the debates. That leaves Cain or Romney. See the above. Have a great day.

If you walk around Wall Street looking like zombies and homeless people, don’t expect to get a job.
If you sit around playing xbox all day, don’t expect to get a job.
If you go through college taking bogus courses such as gender studies, don’t expect to get a job.

Not everything can be blamed on government.

We have to get rid of unempolyment check.

AND!!!

We have to get rid of governement regulation and taxation that is a barrier to all forms of business.

Now how precisely can we continue to sugarcoat those statements when we are adding over a hundred billion to our deficit in just the last four days?

The end game here, is that the government as we know it today will soon collapse under the weight of the debt and self reliance will be the way it has to be for many years after that.

And we are arguing over whether telling the hard truth to your potential voters is a good or bad thing?

We are so far past the “tough love” stage of this problem I’m laughing here. Might as well tell it hard and like it is. Anything less is an insult to us all.

If you don’t have a big, fat income that’s dependent on big, fat government (where most big incomes come from), you have only yourself to blame.

Cain is on MSNBC ‘The Last Word’ now (8 pm EST) taking on Liberal Larry and schooling him for each accusation he throws.

A black conservative Republican candidate taking on a MSNBC (Sleezy race-baiting ) white liberal face to face on civil rights. I have dreamed of this for many years. Even Bachmann couldnt pull this one off.

Go Herman! You are taking me over....

Cain just told MSNBC Liberal Larry he was ‘offended’ with his accusation of him (cain) being a Vietnam draft dodger. Offended ....LOL Cain is great!

Was Bammy in the military??? Hypocrite Larry had no such standard in 2008 over Bammy and McCain .Cain was working for the department of the Navy then

I am loving Cain! It is on again at 11pm EST. DVR it!

Thanks for the out-of-context, media drivel.
