Herman Cain Keeps 999 Alive By Announcing ‘Cain’s Revolution Solution’ Bus Tour

video
» 57 comments

Herman Cain may have been the second 2012 Republican candidate to drop out of the race (after Tim Pawlenty), and he may be forgotten in some respects, but he sure isn’t gone. In fact, Herman Cain may be coming to a town near you before you even know it! Cain appeared on tonight’s Hannity to handicap the race post-Iowa (and yes, he wishes he could have been there) but, more importantly, he had an important announcement to make: he bought himself a bus.

The “Cain’s Solutions Revolution” tour is kicking off sometime next month, the former candidate told O’Reilly, and it’s main goal is to “keep 9-9-9 alive.” For those with a particularly fleeting short-term memory, “9-9-9″ was Herman Cain’s tax plan, who some suggested was filched from the game “Sim City.” The announcement also comes on the cusp of the launch of “CainConnections.com,” which is not what it sounds like, but actually a site through which Cain will keep in touch with supporters and update on the bus tour.

Given that he was going on a bus tour, Hannity took the opportunity to ask whether Cain was endorsing anyway. Yes, he said– he was endorsing whoever ended up being the Republican nominee, and no one a day before it became clear who that would be.

    Following the Palin model, those rubes still have a little bit of cash left in their pockets, get it while you can Herman.

    My guess is his wife won’t be tagging along on his little “bus tour.”

    Guess Herman is finding it difficult to harass women being all couped up at home with the Mrs.  Better gas that bus up and get out there Herman!  Plenty of girls out there to keep ya warm this winter!  Nauseating.

    As a conservative Repub I’m quite happy with his plan for the upcoming year.  I hope he has a strong influence on the GOP platform and influences the general debate between Repubs and Dems.

    This is the first time in my life that my No 1 priority is NOT defense and foreign policy but strictly fiscal and rolling back the size, scope and reach of the federal government.

    Just like Cain I will not only vote for whoever is the Repub nominee but also actively support and campaign for him.

    I’m glad and dismayed to see that all the libs here are only interested in the tabloid trash without a thought to spare for the genuine ideological and policy issues facing us all.

    I have a suggested solution for his revolution. Stop sexually imposing yourself on women behind your wife’s back and think about all the states, like mine, who already have an 8% state sales tax that will fight you tooth & nail against a 9% national sales tax. Go make a pizza.

    The Republican circus continues.  Herb and Palin will have their own side clown show going on campaigning for the other circus.  It started with the teabaggers turning the Republican party into a joke. Lincoln is rolling over in his tomb.

    He’s taking a cue from Sarah Palin’s hopelessly aimless bus tour, which got her a whole heap of redneck PAC money. What an enterprising guy! He should be paying Caribou Barbie a franchising fee.

    Herb was going crazy stuck at home with just one woman, his wife.  With CainConnections dot com he can set up his hookups and determine his bus route depending on the location of lonely white women that might like a little Black Walnut.

    What does brainwashing feel like Grammie?  I ask because I’ve always felt that anyone who voted for someone just because he is the party nominee is seriously deluded.

    What would that ideological policy be,…. a program that couldn’t work! Which economic adviser said any of that clown theory would work. Most of his “tea” hates laughed it off! You’re right about not being worried about foreign policy and defense, he didn’t know any of the leaders! All the “tea” pride was based on not knowing about the issues or not being able to speak. That means they thought you folks were rubes or didn’t know or care.

    Good, Cain.  Focus on solutions because we all know the Obama machine will be focusing on pure attacks.  Funny how Clinton’s book is about solutions as is Cain’s bus tour.   The only ones not focusing on specific solutions are Obama and Romney.

    How does seriously deluded equate to brainwashed?

    Although I’m a conservative Repub I’ve voted for Dems.  I’ve voted for fiscally conservative Dems who were also strong on defense, a fairly common creature in the South where I grew up.

    Perhaps you didn’t understand what I said but rather put your own spin on what I said Let me lay it out for you.

    Contrary to the past this election year economic policy has replaced defense/foreign policy as my deal maker or breaker.

    There is not a Repub, much less a Repub presidential hopeful, whose fiscal policy is close to what I perceive to be a profligate BHO/Dem stance.

    Ergo, whoever the Repub nominee is this election year has my voter, my money and my time and energy.

    One might think that Ron Paul would present a problem for me this year.  He might have if he had a snowball’s chance in hell of getting the nomination.  I think the vast majority agree with me that his realistic chance of doing that approaches zero.

    So, tell me, are you already committed to voting Dem or is there a Repub that you would consider voting for over BHO?

    What are you trying to say?

    It sounds like you are railing, ranting and raving against Hermain Cain while simultaneously hurling insults at me and perhaps a whole lot of other people.

    Take a chill pill.

    Unreal How can this Fraud be discussed?????
    He said he would tax 9% on each of these:
    Individual Income–Corp Profit–Consumer Spending
    If I am wrong please inform at cswinney2@Triad.rr.com 

    numbers rounded
    Individual Income is 10,000
    Corp Profit 2000
    Consumer Spend is 10,000
    Total 22,000
    9% of 22,000 is 1,980 or half our 3800 budget
