Posted by Amish On 08/02/2003 3:33 PM CDT with 18 comments The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 7/30/03 | Vernadette Ramirez Broyles This man sees Senate race, not his race Inasmuch as liberals demagogue the GOP as the party against diversity, it is fascinating to see that one of the most qualified and personally engaging candidates for federal office in recent memory -- 57-year-old African-American successful business leader Herman Cain -- has entered the Georgia race for the U.S. Senate as a Republican. Cain's conservative message is lent special credibility by his powerful life story. He grew up in Atlanta in a "half of a house," where he slept on the kitchen floor. His father worked three jobs, as barber, chauffeur and... |

Posted by NYC Republican On 07/08/2003 11:03 PM CDT with 9 comments PoliPundit.com ^ | 7/8/03 | PoliPundit Herman Cain Republican Georgia US Senate candidate Herman Cain is taking the unusual step of sending out videos to Republican activists who will play an important role in the primary. I looked up Cain's web site and there's a video of him there as well. Wow! Cain is certainly an inspiring speaker. If Cain is elected, he will make liberals mad every day. A self-made black man in the US Senate would expose liberals as the patronizing snobs they are. On another note, Democratic Texas Senate candidate Ron Kirk - also an African-American - received fawning coverage from the lying... |

Posted by Amish On 06/28/2003 3:09 PM CDT with 25 comments HUMAN EVENTS ^ | June 23, 2003 | John Grizzi There are at least a couple of things that separate Herman Cain, the former CEO of Godfathers Pizza now running for the U.S. Senate from Georgia, from other multi-millionaires such as Jon Corzine of New Jersey and John Edwards of North Carolina who have recently been elected to that office. For one, Cain is black. For another, hes a conservative Republican. Should he be elected to replace retiring Sen. Zell Miller (D.-Ga.), Cain would become only the second black Republican senator since Reconstruction. The historic significance of his candidacy notwithstanding, Cain drew little publicity during a swing through Washington last... |

Posted by JohnnyZ On 05/29/2003 3:50 PM CDT with 45 comments National Review (NRO) ^ | May 28, 2003 | Deroy Murdock he GOP has an excellent opportunity to elevate to national prominence a charismatic leader of the free enterprise system. His election in November 2004 would Republicanize a now-Democratic U.S. Senate seat. He also could sell GOP principles to black Americans, in part because he is black himself. If bringing black conservatism to the world's greatest deliberative body sounds too good to be true, it isn't. Atlanta businessman Herman Cain, 57, hopes to succeed retiring Senator Zell Miller (D., Ga.). Cain has launched an exploratory committee and website and asked key GOP, conservative and libertarian activists for their support. Cain's campaign... |
Do you really think so?
"I only know one way to succeed...work for it!"
And why shouldn't we? Look at the man's own statement:
"If you work 40 years putting money into Social Security and die at 68," he explained, "you have subsidized white males, have no ownership of your contributions and can't pass (them) on to your children and grandchildren."
1. "Subsidizing white males", is it? As opposed to the opposite that's been going on for three generations?
2. "...have no ownership of your contributions..." Show me where you and I have any ownership of the SS money that confiscatory taxation has wrested from us; and
3. ".and can't pass (them) on to your children and grandchildren..." I don't know of ANY instance where SS benefits are "passed on" to heirs, unless you don't report the relative as dead.
Thought you might be interested...
I have seen him speak several times, had lunch with him once, and think he would make an awesome candidate.
My favorite Herman Cain line is his offer of what he says they call a "twofer" in his business (pizza chains). For every regulation the government enacts they have to eliminate two!
Cain for President in 2008!!!!
The man's statements on Social Security applies to everyone, but the point he made to his audience is correct.
Black males have a lower lifespan than others. Since many black men won't live to see the age to receive SS benefits, those taxes benefit others. It is a statement of fact, the same which Larry Elder has been saying for a while.
You may as well abandon your wishes of not having to deal with conservative blacks. We're not going anywhere.
Good.
Without calving off black voters from that great glacier of a voting bloc, that statement may very well be true.
Because the Socialists WILL write you off as no loss to their cause - until and unless, you start making inroads.
The DNC already dismisses black GOP's, because of your numbers as a voting bloc. And the GOP shouldn't throw away political capital - UNLESS, black GOP's can prove that they are a viable, growing movement.
It's now August of 2003. We really won't know what efforts have succeeded until November of 2004.
