Cain left with millions after withdrawing from presidential race
Washington Times ^ | Monday, December 5, 2011 | Luke Rosiak

Mr. Cain raised more than $5 million through September. Information on the financial activity since that time won’t be disclosed until January, but the campaign said it raised $9 million over a few weeks alone.

The funds allowed Mr. Cain and associates to dine and travel in style, using $350,000 on private chartered air in a few weeks, spending thousands at hotels such as the Ritz-Carlton and the Four Seasons, and eating largely steak dinners, records show.

One of the campaign’s top recipients was T.H.E New Voice, a company set up to sell Mr. Cain’s books and motivational talks, which was paid $100,000.

What a stupid article, so after already lynching him the media wants to drag him behind the pickup truck now?

Not only is he assaulting women, but he’s eating steak too. Cain must be the devil. /sarcasm.

LOL!

I think the title is misleading. He suspended his campaign.in fact, he can still raise money now. This is an attempt to smear him.

“I do have a problem with these candidates keeping money after they drop out. I don’t know what the right solution would be, but I don’t like the tradition.”

That is why I doin’t give.

That was my reaction as well. They must be afraid that there could be a end to the “suspension” and that Herman Cain would start up the Cain Train again. We can only pray that he does.

I donated $25, then $9.99. Considering what he and his family have endured lately, he can do what he pleases with it, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m still highly pissed off at not only the “media,” but the RINO establishment for tacitly aiding and abetting the attacks on Mr Cain. If he was destined to go down because he simply wasn’t cutting it on the policy/knowledge side, then fine... but for a worthless pack of money-hungry political prostitutes to destroy his candidacy makes me want to puke.

And I still don’t know who I want to support, going forward.

AGREED!

And I suppose the WT will do an article on how much Obama is spending of OUR money for his campaign? Money we did NOT willingly donate to him, but he travels to his fund raisers on our dime and time, feasts on our dime and time, vacations on our dime and time...and the Wookie in the WH gets to enjoy our money to extreme excesses. I just bet Cain's wife never, or very few times, had even a meal paid with that campaign money.

BTW has anyone else seen those "red shirt" ads (The "I am fierce," etc. ads for kids to volunteer for a year of work in the city) running again as they did during Obama's last campaign? They have been on the air for a couple of weeks here in Virginia. I am sure they are being paid for with government money, under the guise of being for the welfare/self-esteem building of kids...when they are just a ploy for votes for Obama. We are paying for those, too.

But it's fine for Obama et al to travel to and dine at the world's finest of restaurants.. all on the taxpayers' dime? C'mon WashTimes.. you're better than this.

I called this a couple weeks ago. Cain morphed from a ‘man of the people’ into Al Sharpton, a false prophet living the high life off the cash his supporters donated.

I saw this in him when the first reports about his affairs started coming out. The sex part did not trouble me at all, it was the details of how Cain had no problem spending NRA’s cash at high end restaurants, giving his staff large raises, staying at luxury hotels, etc. He would have been a diasaster for our country, every bit the freeloader that Obama is.

Rev Al stiffed the luxury hotels he stayed at during his ill fated presidential run, at least Cain raised enough cash to pay his bills.

They'll be satisfied if he just goes back to drinking from the colored water fountain.

I didn’t send money because I’m broke but if I had it would have been around $25.00 (like I sent to GWB’s first campaign) and he would have been welcome to keep it.

Come on, get out of the basement. Cain earned his position and CEOs of large organizations are expected to entertain their guests in style. Also, so there is something wrong with Cain giving his staff large raises? This is what makes people work hard, it's called incentive in the free market system. You have heard about capitalism and the free market system, haven't you?

Calling a self-made man, who has been successful in a variety of pursuits, a "freeloader" is stupid even for someone with your limitations.

It was worth it to watch the Media Squirm for several weeks before they eventually destroyed him.

Mr Cain's giving it to a charity for women would be a very good idea and he really does seem to have a special place in his heart for women down on their luck financially. Maybe in the Atlanta area by the church he pastored there may be an outreach for women who have had the misfortune of getting trapped in a life of prostitution - he could direct the money there - to set them free from this life of bondage, sin, crime, loneliness.

Do you even know what it means to be a CEO? Seriously, you need to think outside your little box.

If you send ANY politician ANY money you are not entitled to a refund. If you believe that you are, then you are a moron. A mental midget. An emotional delinquent. Basically a useless, sorry sack of three-day old crap.
