Cain: ‘Look for My Army on Capitol Hill’

Herman Cain tells National Review Online that he will launch a new political-action committee in January. The outfit, whose final name remains under wraps, will be Cain’s main project next year. Its mission will be to enact his “9-9-9” economic plan.

“We continue the campaign without a candidate,” says Cain, who hinted at the endeavor during his departure speech. “There are a lot of people who are willing to support the campaign for solutions without the end objective being my election as president of the United States.”

As Cain transitions to private life, “Friends of Herman Cain,” the financial force behind his presidential campaign, is being dismantled. “Most of that money is being used to retire all of our debt, which is good news,” he says. His revamped operation “will be a new entity that will promote many of the same solutions that I spoke about as a candidate.”

Lotsa detractors here.. Hmm, maybe they are IRS shrills or accountants. If it weren’t for Cain’s plan, the only one talking about reforming the tax code would be Paul.

Have you ever heard of Rick Perry?...who is still running for the office, BTW!

[fieldmarshaldj]

A Perrybot calling other candidates “hucksters” is rich.

[SaraJohnson]

Or maybe they have a brain and don’t want to give the Congress a new pot of money - a consumption tax.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Hit a nerve, eh ? La Raza Rick is pretty good at playing the race card. What was that he called us ? Oh, yes... “heartless.”

[rogue yam]

Race card.

Nice work.

Commie.

[who knows what evil?]

Whatever.

[mylife]

People just don’t like Perry, and that’s their prerogative.

Sadly, America loses if we ignore this fine man, his values and his deeds.

[lonestar]

Still not sure he wouldn’t push mass amnesty on the heartless.

You have Newt confused with Perry... Newt is the amnesty guy!

[mylife]

Witty rejoinder /s

[mylife]

And maybe we don’t like the idea of calling on super committees, and we don’t like the idea of “empowerment zones”

[fieldmarshaldj]

You’re calling La Raza Rick a “Commie” ? Well, his good buddy and appointee Xavier Rodriguez is.

[pgkdan]

What a frigging media whore Cain is! Go away Hermie...you’re starting to bother people.

[pgkdan]

Perry has been talking tax reform since before he entered the race.

And long before...

9-9-9 was a bunch of populist nonsense. I wish he'd have the dignity to fade away quietly...but I guess that's asking too much from this shyster.

[SaraJohnson]

Yeah, that too.

[mylife]

You sure love to whip up that racial stuff don’t you?

[katiedidit1]

an Army of One?

[mylife]

Based on his punking of Perry today, he has no intent of going away with a shred of dignity.

[pgkdan]

You’re much nicer than I am and much nicer than that jerk deserves.

[altura]

Why don’t you ask Sheriff Joe? He’s campaigning with Perry.

[mylife]

Xavier Rodriguez served on the court under Perry for one year.

What’s your point?
