Was Herman Cain ever a lobbyist?

[maine-iac7]

Are you asking an honest question or making a ‘CAIN was never a Lobbyist” remark?

Either way, the answer is “Why yes he was.”

“From 1996, when he left the pizza company, until 1999, Mr. Cain ran the National Restaurant Association, a once-sleepy trade group that he transformed into a lobbying powerhouse”

Oh, right, that wasn’t Newt, that was Cain.

Herman Cain has said he did lobbying as one of the faucets of his job with the National Restaurant Association during this 3 year tenure. He said that during his time at the NRA about 30% was spent on lobbying.

Of course not..nobody was interested in Cain.

No, not under the law, mr cain was an employee of NRA, if he represent his organization he was not a lobbyist. A lobbyist is a none employee paid to represent interest of varied individuals and organizations for a fee.
