Herman Cain


Cain nearly quit campaign before Florida straw poll, calls Obama a ‘liar’



I asked him about President Obama's new effort to raise taxes on the wealthy, and Cain just about blew a blood vessel--especially when I mentioned the part where Obama says it's about "math" not "class warfare." (http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7381613n) "Can I be blunt? That's a lie," Cain said, before the sound of his voice began to rise noticeably higher. "You're not supposed to call the president a liar. Well if you're not supposed to call the president a liar, he shouldn't tell a lie. If it's not class warfare, it's highway robbery. He wants us to believe it's not class warfare, oh okay, it's not class warfare. Pick my pockets, because that's what he's doing!"
Let's see....


After he graduated from Morehouse College with a degree in mathematics and a minor in chemistry in 1968, Cain landed a job as a ballistics analyst for the Department of the Navy, where he was responsible for the calculations that ensured battleship rockets hit their targets. "It's not an easy thing to do," he said.
Cain later completed a master's degree in computer science and entered the business world where he led several companies--most recently Godfather's--and chaired the National Restaurant Association

.or....do we want to re elect a "community organizer" who never had a meaningful job in his life, who's college transcripts are permanently sealed....LOL


And once again, we're not going to tax our way out of this mess.......

[Stavros]

A cheap shot, Silc -Perry's father painted over the sign when he leased the property for his hunting, there was no sign of the sign when Perry Jr went hunting there and he has been defended by an old friend who is black.

Perry should stand (and probably fall) on his record as Governor of Texas, this kind of story debases the political debate. I would rather he was challenged on the execution of Cameron Todd Willingham, a most disturbing case.

Why Herman Cain Is The Koch Brothers’ Favorite Presidential Candidate (http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/10/07/335968/herman-cain-koch-brothers/)

By Scott Keyes (http://thinkprogress.org/author/scott-keyes/) on Oct 7, 2011



http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Cain-Koch-211x300.jpg (http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Cain-Koch.jpg)Herman Cain and the Koch Brothers



Former pizza executive Herman Cain’s rise to the top of the Republican presidential pack will undoubtedly put smiles on the faces of two brothers: Charles and David Koch. The Koch Brothers are infamous (http://thinkprogress.org/green/2011/04/04/174974/koch-brothers-repor/) for using their billions to finance the Tea Party and helping to gut business and environmental regulations. They have not been shy about influencing conservative politics, both through large direct contributions – the Kochs have pledged to raise $88 million (http://thinkprogress.org/green/2011/04/04/174974/koch-brothers-repor/) for the 2012 election – and funding corporate front groups like Americans for Prosperity (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2010/10/19/124746/afp-rnc-rally/).
Though the Kochs have not made a public endorsement in the Republican presidential contest, Herman Cain’s rise from niche radio host to presidential frontrunner appears to have been largely fueled by the Koch network. From Cain’s early foray into politics to his presidential campaign speeches to his top staff, the former pizza executive has had close, consistent ties with the Koch Brothers.
Given the extensive connections between Herman Cain and the Koch Brothers, ThinkProgress asked the former pizza executive about his thoughts on David Koch back in March. Cain called David Koch — as well as his brother Charles — a “patriot”:
Watch it:
Here is a rundown of the numerous ways in which Cain and the Kochs have worked hand-in-hand for years to advance corporate-friendly conservative policies:
- Cain held an official position in the Koch-funded group Americans for Prosperity: Dating back to 2005, Cain led Americans for Prosperity’s new “Prosperity Expansion Project. (http://www.americansforprosperity.org/afp-hold-news-conference-announce-opening-new-chapter-virginia)” The position allowed Cain to barnstorm (http://www.americansforprosperity.org/afp-hold-news-conference-announce-opening-new-chapter-virginia) the country (http://www.americansforprosperity.org/wisconsin-chapter-americans-prosperity-foundation-announces-grassroots-meeting-featured-speaker-herm), giving speeches, holding town halls, and sharpening his skills for an eventual presidential bid.
- Cain’s campaign manager is the former president of Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity Wisconsin chapter: Prior to becoming Cain’s campaign manager and chief of staff (http://www.p2012.org/candidates/cainorg.html), Mark Block served (http://www.americansforprosperity.org/about/staff/mark-block) as the president of Americans for Prosperity’s Wisconsin chapter. At the same time Block was serving in that position, he is credited (http://dailycaller.com/2011/10/03/meet-mark-block-the-man-who-talked-herman-cain-into-running-for-president/) with “talk[ing] Herman Cain into running for president”. As AFP-Wisconsin president in 2006, Block even tried to convince Cain to run for president in the 2008 election (http://dailycaller.com/2011/10/03/meet-mark-block-the-man-who-talked-herman-cain-into-running-for-president/) because of the former pizza executive’s rousing speeches at Americans for Prosperity events. Block has a history of electoral dirty tricks and once fined $15,000 (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/10/06/337407/herman-cain-campaign-manager-electoral-fraud/) for violating Wisconsin election law.
- Cain attended the Koch Brothers’ private biannual meeting in Palm Springs: In January, the Kochs hosted one of their biannual meetings of top corporate and political figures in order to coordinate strategy and raise money for the conservative movement. Cain was among the small group of conservative politicians invited to attend (http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/01/30/141486/langone-cain-koch/).
- Cain traveled to Wisconsin in support of the Koch-funded union-busting bill: During the apex of the fight in Wisconsin over Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) union-busting bill this spring, Cain traveled to the Badger State to support the conservative power-grab, speaking at a rally in February. (http://spectator.org/blog/2011/02/18/herman-cain-joins-saturday-ral) The Koch brothers were major players (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/02/18/145274/business-teaparty-wisconsin/) in Wisconsin’s anti-union push.
- Cain headlined a Koch-funded anti-climate rally in New York: As other presidential candidates focused on glad-handing with voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, Cain took time out in June to travel to New York and headline a Koch-backed anti-climate rally (http://thinkprogress.org/green/2011/06/07/238840/herman-cain-to-headline-koch-attack-on-climate-program-in-new-york/). The rally, held by Americans for Prosperity, protested New York’s involvement in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, an important project to fight global warming that has been long-opposed by the Koch Brothers.
- Cain was a featured speaker at the Koch-funded RightOnline conference: Cain has been a featured speaker at RightOnline, the Koch-backed conservative conference, for the past two (http://erickbrockway.com/2010/07/27/rightonline-2010-herman-cain/) years (http://rightonline.com/beta/speakers).
The Koch Brothers’ investment in Herman Cain appears to already be paying dividends in advancing their corporatist agenda. Cain has centered his presidential bid around the “999″ economic plan (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/10/05/336649/cain-999-analysis-deficits/), an enormous corporate giveaway that would reduce companies’ income tax rate from 35 percent to 9 percent. Not only would Koch Industries reap massive benefits, but the Koch Brothers themselves — already tied for the fourth richest (http://www.forbes.com/forbes-400/) people in America — would personally see their tax rates fall (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/10/05/336649/cain-999-analysis-deficits/) from approximately 28 percent to around 11 percent.

I wouldn't even call Cain a conservative. Conservatism has a very rich history. Based on: morality and traditional values and the rule of law. And, too, if you go back a century conservatives, real conservatives, were adamantly against concentrated power. Whether it be state power. Or concentrated private power.
Corporations pose -- and posed -- a serious threat [and assault] to individual liberty. That's why conservatives, again real conservatives, were passionately against these undue private tyrannies.
I mean, corporate Dems like Obama or Clinton are the same as corporatists like Cain, Romney, Bachmann etc. etc. etc. And, too, they have a particular loathing toward democracy. I mean, meaningful democracy would mean: public policy reflects public opinion. We've elections. But not true democracy.
As an addendum: you cannot have meaningful democracy if the most powerful institutions in that society are anti democratic and non democratic. As corporations are.

You don't even need to take a freshman calculus class. Here's an eHow article on calculating a ballistic trajectory:

http://www.ehow.com/how_7432546_calculate-ballistic-trajectory.html

And "ballistic" means unguided, so there would be no way to "direct" a ballistic weapon using "global positioning," which didn't exist when Herman Cain was a civilian employee of the Navy anyway.

I'm not sure where this idea that you have to be a genius in order to succeed at business comes from. Mostly, you have to be lucky and know the right people.

Middle Class Pays More So Rich Pay Less
Secrets of the Flat Tax

by DEAN BAKER

With Herman Cain soaring to the top of the Republican pack on the basis of his 9-9-9 plan, a flat tax is once again at the center of public debate. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and some days Mitt Romney, are always spouting the virtues of a tax system that is “simpler, flatter, and fairer.”
While simplicity is generally desirable in a tax code, it has nothing to do with the tax code being flat. And being flat would be the opposite of being fair, unless people think it is unfair that they don’t pay more taxes.
Confusing a simple tax code with a flat tax is a cheap political stunt. The number of tax brackets doesn’t affect simplicity at all. Regardless of the number of brackets, there is only one calculation needed. The instruction is simple. It looks like this: “pay $1,000, plus 15 percent of income above $50,000.” You can have a flat tax or 100 tax brackets, it is the same formula. Even a Republican presidential candidate can figure it out.
The other part of the story is that the flat tax means a large tax cut for rich people. Every economist who has examined flat tax proposals over the years comes to that same conclusion: A flat tax means the rich pay less.
And if the rich pay less and we raise the same amount of money, then someone else has to pay more. And the someone in this story is the middle class. It really is that simple.
The flat taxers like to run around with Lake Wobegone economics where we are all going to pay less and still have the same amount of money, but the world doesn’t work that way. We have tried reducing taxes to raise revenue. People remember Reagan’s tax cuts and the large deficits they led to. They remember Bush’s tax cuts and the large deficits they led to.
No one is going to fall for this trick yet again. When we cut taxes on the rich, we get less money and the rest of us will have to make up the shortfall.
For middle-class people, a flat tax means that they will have to pay more taxes. If people think it would be fairer that they pay higher taxes, then the Republican Party has the presidential candidates for you.

Herman's private affairs should remain his private affairs. They have no relevance to his political policies nor his political credentials. Herman's threats, and quid quo pro suggestions to obtain sexual favors from employees or would be employees are illegal behaviors. Whether a candidate is a sexual predator and practices sexual harassment IS relevant to his respect for women, family values and the law. Multiple out-of-court agreements involving large sums of money and gag-contracts are evidence of his guilt.

So far the GOP begged Palin to run, she didn't; they fawned all over Bachmann, until Perry put his cowboy boot up on a hay bale in Iowa and pontificated in a long Texan draw. When it quickly became obvious he was a[s] looney as Bachmann, they begged Christie to run, but Christie didn't want to be in the same clown car with the current GOP hopefuls. So next Herman was up and now he down. Now through the tweets and twitters emerges....wait for it....Gingrich! Somebody said "send in the clowns" and the GOP complied.

Candidate calls for Constitutional Amendment to protect marriage

February 4, 2004

Today, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that they will accept nothing short of full marriage rights for same-sex couples. In doing so, the court clearly demonstrated their radical gay marriage agenda by rejecting the Massachusetts state legislatures attempts to find a compromise.
Responding to the Massachusetts ruling, U.S. Senate candidate Herman Cain said, “The courts have failed the American people. Congress needs to enact a constitutional amendment to protect the sacred institution of marriage.” Cain went on to say, “Liberal-minded judges have opened a floodgate of judicial tyranny that will chip away at the core values of this country until nothing sacred is left! It started with not allowing prayer in schools, not being able to display the Ten Commandments, attempting to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and now making same-sex marriages legal.
“A constitutional amendment is needed to protect the definition of marriage as the legal union of one man and one woman.” Cain continued, “Our Founding Fathers had the foresight to have a constitutional separation of powers and these judges are overreaching their constitutional authority by rewriting legislation from the bench.
“Traditional families are the bedrock foundation of any healthy society. If we don’t act now all states could be forced to accept same-sex marriages performed in Massachusetts.” Cain concluded, “We cannot allow this to happen! The long-term effects will further destroy the moral fabric of our society. Congress needs to take action on instituting a constitutional amendment to defend marriage now.”
Cain made it clear that defending marriage as the union of one man and one woman will be a top priority when he is elected to the United States Senate.

Republicans love to tout state rights, but whenever it doesn't appeal to them they want to whine. Suck it up Cain if the people of Massachusetts want gay marriage then let them have it.
