Herman Cain to launch 9-9-9 bus tour

LOL. Had to look her lyrics up a few times to understand what she was singing. You’re right, she will be missed.

The Axelrod Chicago tactics ????

He was strung up by the very same policies of every single EEOC compliant HR department in every modern American corporation.

So whether he did it or not, the lynching mechanism is still there for all of us.

Maybe Axelrod pulled the lever or Cain hung himself but if anyone is upset by the outcome they ought to lobby to get the Politically correct sexual harassment hanging tree trimmed back a bit.

Personally, I’d be looking to go back to the accusations and understand what’s up.

If there was any truth to them, let’s just say it and be repentant. If not, I’d like to just have a full accounting where each item has a good explanation. Either way is ok, but to ignore the accusations and go on as a pundit results in my ears not working very well on that frequency. I’m not demanding anything, I’m just saying I personally prefer to have a basic idea of what the pundit is all about. As far as a “candidate”, I definitely would need the above. And it’s not to say that being a repentant adulterer is a showstopper since we’ve all sinned, but of course, just paying lipservice doesn’t cut it, IMHO. I can’t support anyone who continues to commit adultery.

I was a Cain advocate, and I have no problem with him just bailing if that’s his choice to avoid nasty attacks on his family - given that he was not in a government office at the time and therefore had no duty to continue, and his campaign had every indication that it was going to fail anyway. He ran, it blew up in his face, he quit.

But if he wants to get back into conservative campaigning for office, or positioning his career as a conservative pundit, the question will be hanging out there in everyone’s mind - did he or didn’t he ? IMHO, a full, honest and unafraid explanation has to be produced to restore credibility.

I still like Cain, but I did lose a lot of respect for him when he quit. It wouldn't have been so bad except that he was insisting nothing the liberals did was going to stop the “Cain Train”, literally up until he dropped out. Cain and Bachmann both need to endorse Santorum, AND campaign for him to help their blemished reputations since he's the only candidate even left in the race who's Conservative now. Palin needs to endorse and campaign for him as well. They could help him raise the money he's going to need to make it to the White House. A lot of people think Bachmann was ready to sell out to any candidate no matter how liberal if their was a place for her in their administration, and not endorsing Santorum won't help that suspicion, while Cain can't justify endorsing Gingrich out of a personal friendship. I wouldn't vote for a close family member, and would actually work against them, if they were liberal. You put principle first when it comes to something so serious.

Santorum is literally the only Conservative left in the race who I will vote for. I'm not going to vote for a liberal Republican just because they aren't Obama. That's what the establishment expects from everyone because it's what usually happens which is one reason we never get a good Conservative candidate. Of course all the Republican candidates are better than Obama, but that's not going to make me stick with the status qua that gets liberal Republicans elected who just destroy the nation slower.

A real strong Conservative President would have a very hard time of getting all the permanent changes that are needed to save our nation enacted, even if they were great politicians who connected with the people, and put solving the nations enormous problems above everything else no matter what had to be done. The fact is the stupid voters would probably vote them out, and get all the unconstitutional liberal crap reinstated.

A lot of Republicans Conservatives out there won't even accept any sacrifice when it comes to entitlements even if they are all for it now. We always hear we have to do things slowly one step at a time, but we can't even stop the progression of our enormous problems so I don't have the patience for that ridiculous argument. If we can't even stop the problems from getting worse, then how are we suppose to think we can slowly change everything? The fact is the nation is probably going to be destroyed as we know it no matter what we do. It's sad seeing the destruction of our nation with no real solutions. And the fact is we aren't going to change anything slowly for the better, and our history shows that. Anything that changes things will have to be fast and dramatic, and then it could still easily end very badly for the Union.

The illegal immigration problem is one of our most serious issues that will eventually destroy our nation, and even though it is a nation killer that would probably have the most public support if solved can't even be seriously talked about for some reason.

This will fizzle, and I am starting to like Santorum’s economic plan more and more.

Mrs. Cain has run him out of the house.

“I see the local troupe of feces throwing howler monkeys are out in force today.”

How dare anyone not in the Republocrat ruling class speak out about policy!

Just who the he11 does he think can speak out about policy??? Citizens??? HA!!! Citizens don’t rule this country, our Holy Overlords do. What a tool. Just go away, Herman, and let us run this nation into the ground while we profit from it.

(/sarc tag for the morons who don’t get it).

BTW, I don’t like 9-9-9, but I do favor radical tax reform and it ain’t gonna happen if we leave it up to the ruling class in the GOP. Keep up the pressure, Herman! Poke the pigs and hear them squeal!

Anytime someone wants to talk seriously about massive tax reform, I’m all for it.

Not nearly as many as Newt and his wife have been carting around to sell at every stop. Oh, and Newt sells DVDs, too!

From HERE:

Experienced campaign strategists cannot recall a top-tier contender devoting so much time to pitching products while seeking the White House. Mitt Romney, who also has a book out, has never sold it while stumping, his campaign said. President Obama, a best-selling author in 2007, did not incorporate sales events into campaign appearances, according to a spokesman for his re-election committee.

Mr. Gingrich’s devotion to book-selling, Republican strategists said, raises questions about the propriety of a candidate who is generating personal income while seeking the White House, as well as whether he is making the optimum use of limited campaign time.

Mr. Gingrich said that book sales, far from a distraction, effectively conveyed his views and values. They are “the cultural wing of what we’re doing,” he said in an interview. “I am a cultural teacher, with a political campaign to change a government. And that’s how I see myself.”

Mr. Gingrich, who now holds strong leads in the latest polls in Iowa, South Carolina and Florida, may be having the last laugh after a mutiny by staff members this spring who complained about his preference for selling books and DVDs of movies he makes with his wife, Callista, over meeting with voters.

“A Nation Like No Other,” published in June, is Mr. Gingrich’s 16th nonfiction title. It has sold 15,000 hardcover copies, according to Nielsen BookScan.

Mrs. Gingrich, also an author, sells an illustrated children’s book, “Sweet Land of Liberty,” about Ellis the Elephant, at campaign events. Although some buyers are under the impression that sales of their books, like T-shirts or coffee mugs, support the campaign, the proceeds go to the Gingriches personally, even as the campaign is scrambling to pay off debt and raise enough money to run an ambitious national operation.

People who are seriously considering someone for president of the United States, I’m not sure they see that the process should be financially beneficial to the candidate,” said Jim Dyke, a former executive for the Republican National Committee. “I don’t know that it presents a presidential feeling to be there pushing your own book.”

Steve Schmidt, who managed Senator John McCain’s 2008 presidential bid, said Mr. McCain never sold books while campaigning. But “we live in a new age,” he said, one where Mr. Gingrich’s sales efforts are consistent with how he leveraged his political capital to start businesses after quitting the House, consulting for nearly $2 million for Freddie Mac, for example.
