I enjoy a fine cigar once in a while and love having them after dinner. Now, with all the nannie state laws in place, I feel like some kind of criminal when I travel around trying to find someplace to smoke.

Debating on national TV with Bill Clinton against Socialized medicine, successfully if I may add, is exactly the type of Lobbyist we need.

By definition, any one pushing for any agenda is a “lobbyist”. There are good lobbyists and there are bad lobbyists. Some one pushing for pro-life issues is a lobbyist. Another one pushing for flat tax is a lobbyist for tax reform. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

And in 3 years, “Mr. Cain ran the National Restaurant Association, a once-sleepy trade group that he transformed into a lobbying powerhouse.”
But he is inexperienced and naive and stuff and things. ROFL.

Bwahahah!!

This article makes me admire him even more. I’m a bit fuzzy on what the NRA has to do with a patient’s bill of rights, though.

Previously, for the NYTimes, Cain did not exist. They wrote nothing about him. I guess now that their is a chance he could topple their pseudo-chalenger Romney, they feel compelled to bring out the daggers.

I'm a Perry fan and I don't dislike Herman Cain at all.

In this case the NRA stands for National Restaurant Association, not National Rifle Assocaition

Amen.

How about we let restaurants, and the market, decide whether or not they want to allow smoking?

Many restaurants would opt to ban it, many would not. And everybody would be happy, except the nannystaters.
