Herman Cain Calls for Creation of Third Party

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is calling for the creation of a third political party — saying it is clear to him that neither major political party is willing to address the nation’s economic problems.

“We need a third party to save this country,” Cain told American Family Radio host Bryan Fischer. “This country is in trouble and it is clear that neither party — is going to fix the problems we face.”

Cain agreed with Fischer’s assessment that conservatives are growing tired of being ignored by Republican party leadership — and that many believe the GOP no longer speaks for them.

Cain said it was troubling that Mitt Romney received fewer votes than John McCain did in 2008 — suggesting that many conservatives did not vote on Tuesday.

“I don’t believe the Republican Party has the ability to rebrand itself against the mainstream media machine that blatantly works to support this president and other liberals as well as the Democrats,” Cain told the radio host.

Cain said it would take money, leadership and at least 50 coalitions to create a viable third political party.

“You need one for every state because of the whacky rules state by state that they have that make it difficult for a third party to emerge,” he said. He said the new party could be made up of not only disenfranchised Republicans — but also Democrats.

“There are just as many disgruntled Democrats would probably be a part of this movement as there are Republicans — who are sick of the political class,” Cain told American Family Radio. “Realistically, it is more viable today than it has ever been.”

Somehow we, meaning everyone who feels this way, need to be able to contact or get through to Herman Cain and let him know that his idea has strong support.

I have to believe Cain could muster a rather large following.

If you recall, even crazy Ross Perot , without creating a thrid party, got 19% of the vote when he jumped into the arena.

How would we be able to respond to Cain. Any idea?

I looked but could not find a way to contact him other than Facebook or Twitter, and I do NOT have an account at either. I'd prefer it stays that way

justsaynomore I haven’t seen you post anything since January, but in January you posted this quote from his ‘unconventional endorsement’

“I want to change how voters think about candidates, not in terms of their media-focused flyspecked negatives, but to think of them in terms of their positives and their relevant experiences. I also want to change how voters think about solutions to our national crises.

Namely, stop accepting the usual political rhetoric of “what’s wrong,” because most of us already know what’s wrong. We also know that there is more than enough blame to go around for how we got so screwed up as a country. I want voters to focus on how candidates are going to fix stuff

I want people to focus on real solutions and real leadership.

I know that’s unconventional political and media thinking, but the conventional thinking, the conventional approach, the conventional compromises, the conventional promises, the conventional rhetoric and the conventional endorsements are not going to save this great country.

We need a Solutions Revolution.

We can’t just think outside the box, as the saying goes. We must redesign the box and fill the box with what the people want, not what the political class and the media class want.

We want our power back.

That’s unconventional.”

Are you still out there, and do you have any way to contact Herman Cain, or know of anyone who does?

VideoDoctor, she used to post here and have the ping list for Herman Cain, so if she checks in, she might know of some way to reach him.

He had said before that he wouldn’t run for president again, but that was before Tuesday night’s loss, and now the pubs are trying to outdo the dems on being ‘softer’.

I get emails from cain TV, and just got this one:

Maybe there would be some way to find a connection through that website.
