He is totally gonna get a seat on city council with that phat cash.

Cain needs to get tough , like John Boehner : Boehner is tired of Obama lying about the Republicans in his daily campaign speeches .

“President Obama placed a phone call to House Speaker John Boehner this afternoon to congratulate him on passing three free trade agreements through the House of Representatives Wednesday, but what started as a courtesy call ended with the two leader’s disagreeing over  job creation.

According to a read-out of the phone call provided by the office of the speaker, once the president and speaker finished exchanging niceties over the FTAs, Boehner “respectfully challenged” Obama for saying he had not yet seen a plan from Republicans to create jobs.

“I want to make sure you have all the facts,” the speaker told the president during a phone call that lastedabout 10 minutes, according to the read-out.

The speaker then reminded the president that House Republicans put forth a Plan for America’s Job Creators in May, and recalled that he and other members of the GOP leadership team had spoken with Obama and his staff about the plan and they’d referred to it on numerous occasions, including in letters addressed to the president. 

“The speaker told the president that when he sent his jobs plan to the Hill, Republicans pledged to give it consideration, and have done so,” the read-out stated. “The president was reminded of a memo written by GOP leaders outlining the specific areas where they believe common ground can be found.  The speaker also noted that a number of the president’s ideas have already been acted on in the House, including a veterans hiring bill, trade agreements, and a three percent withholding bill approved by the Ways & Means Committee today that will be considered on the House floor this month.”

To be fair, I thought the speaker retired, he has not done much since taking office.He was so happy to get to be speaker he  forgot he actually has to get something done.

Cain has nearly a million dollars cash on hand.

Grand total? $999,999

ROTFLMBAO!!!

 Week after week I read all these right winged Cain fans in here singing praises!  How could his campaign be so cash strapped? 

 Yeah…you folks LOVE Cain. Heh.

 Well, like they say….
Romance without finance is a nuisance.

Funny how people like you who hate the “mainstream media” for its supposed bias don’t hesitate to link to it when it suits your purposes.

Anita Perry has just helped Herman Cain’s finances.

http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/10/anita-perry-husband-rick-perry.html

Laugh all you want, loons. There’s lot’s of time left and The Tea Party and other conservative groups are sitting on a ton of money for whoever they decide to back.

Obama has lowered his expectation of raising 1 billion dollars to 750 million and the cash isn’t rolling in like expected despite what is being “reported.” So…

Fact: No one has ever had to pay me for a vote! Cain will be Okay!

groper, why always so hateful?

And you just posted credible links to your idiotic claims, Jeffy.

Did you hear what your wet dream Moose Boogers said about President Obama?

“He’s got money and he’s got the media”

I am sure your woody just went soft.

tea partiers should donate their mobile homes to him.

I like this guy just based on the fact he thinks the right would EVER elect a black person. 

Fact: Christianity real insanity. Same concept the
country was founded on!

Cain could have a 100 million dollars in the bank. That still doesn’t make him a credible candidate. He’s peddling a ridiculous economic program that even conservative economists say sucks and happily admits that memorizing the names of funny-sounding countries (“Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan”) is beneath him.

If the GOP wants to nominate this guy, go for it!!

Fact: That way you loons will look!

groper, i’ll ask again…why so hateful?

President Pizza will make a terrific (Burger) King of America. I can’t wait.  Of all the individuals to take on a vulnerable Democratic president, Republicans come up with Herman Cain.
You know, the guy who runs Anheuser-Busch might be available as his running mate. Then you can have pizza and beer running the country.

I know this is only tangentially on topic BUT Barack Obama is a Stuttering Clusterfuck of a miserable failure!

Jeffy, if you want to seduce Exgoper you go ahead and talk to him.I just want to know where you pulled that “the teabaggeds have a ton of conservative lardos sitting on their faces”?Link?

Changed your screen name? Why?

Nature Freak will always be Nature Freak here at Mediaite, no matter what terrible things the Mediaite masses think of him.

BTW, does Edward G. Robinson approve of your name change?
My Grandma loved Edward G. Robinson. Was one of her favorite actors. She watched him first run at the local bijou.

Can you imagine this moron Cain telling his pizza buyers, in states with no sales tax:

“That will be $35.00 + another $3.50 so you pay your fair share, courtesy of Dear Uncle. Total: $38.50.
Come back again”

Cain cannot be bought by big money!! Unlike….well you know who!!

Isn’t buying elections one of the bitches OWS protesters have? Will they vote for Cain if he wins the nomination instead of….well you know who??

Or are the OWS protesters just a bunch of typical liberal hypocrites?

I guess Cain cannot collect the corporate bribes and kickbacks like ol Obama and Romney can.

Yeah, what a rude & clueless moran that Obama is, failing to congratulate Speaker Boehner in his directing the House Republican Caucus to focus 90% of its energies on restricting women in their choices over what happens to their bodies when men rape them. In being so selfish & short-sighted, Obama missed a golden opportunity to reach out in a bipartisan way so that the entire federal legislative structure can unify in completely screwing over women. I expect this will have huge consequences in the 2012 elections, as many tens of millions of women go to the ballot box in unity to show this president once and for all that there’s a huge political price to be paid for wasting his publicly-paid for resources in trying to get people to work and get the economy working. People just don’t care about those sorts of things; what they care about, all they think about, 24-7, is how to make sure that no American woman can ever again bring harm or violence to a human sperm.

You must listen to talk radio. How else can you explain the lad of crap your dishing out?

Fiscally responsible!  I wonder if he will still want to abolish Medicare and Social Security after he spends his last dime on this ill-fated campaign. 

Cain will not win. He does not have the resources to compete with the other candidates. He will be destroyed by the other candidates once the season heats up. If he survives, he’ll be battling Obama with a broken leg(not very useful). President Obama will destroy Herman Cain. So to all my further right friends who like to call me a RINO, I’m just being sensible, don’t vote Cain.

Actually, this might be the most admirable part of the Cain campaign, that it’s not dependent on being bank-rolled by anyone else.

Well, so far that is: I would expect that with Cain being so successful in promoting the interests of Pete Petersen and Grover Nordquist, those folks will put their heads together and find SOME way to make sure his voice continues to get heard throughout the Republican primary season.

Fact: WTF did I just write??!!

Fact: This didn’t even make sense to me!! It’s a fact!

You sound like a 8yr. old kid

If I had a tissue with me, I’m sure I might weep.

Conservative Victimization Syndrome all the way to the “top” of the Teapublican (won’t) “hireanarchy”.

Yes, that is, indeed, hateful, Jeff. Now, go milk your ponies.

Hateful, just hateful. What could be more hateful than not hating women.

just4thefax,

I just wondered why his screen name changed. It was not a partisan question. I actually find some of his comments really funny on occasion. His 1930′s gangster persona can be sometimes funny, even to me on the left..

Herman Cain has enough money for one quick television ad…..

“HELLO, MY NAME IS HERMAN CAIN.
NINE NINE NINE”
*Paid for by the committee to elect Herman Cain*

I can only respond in the words of my German grandmother: “Nein! Nein! Nein!”

I have no clue to what his comment means.

“for whoMever”

Teabaggers are reluctant to part with their hard -earned cash on a dark horse candidate after Sarah Palin ripped them all off.

The Bush loving teabaggers are going to have to suck it. Willard Romney will be the GOP nominee.

I see, Jeff, you don’t have anything. As usual.

Uh-oh…things are looking so bad for Cain he might actually have to get off his book tour and start a real campaign.

Anita Perry seems to be encouraging Cain.

WTF is up with her?

But isn’t this fascinating? The candidate attracting the most in campaign donations – DIRECT campaign donations, at least; we really don’t have a clue about what’s being spent & what might be spent by PACs and SUPERPACs – is getting his redneck-topped white butt kicked by some black Uncle Tom on tour promoting his childishly self-centered fantasy book.

There’s all kinds of possible messages that might be taken from this: That Republicans mainlining tea can only relate to economic policy that involves simple and simplistic repetition of one number (The Count would do GREAT with these folks.); That some significant percentage of ordinary American politically-motivated conservative voters might be at least partly immune to the fall-out from Citizens United; That a lot of voters have this surprisingly not self-evident expectation that their ideal leader of the Free World actually be able to string together orthodox sentences; That while Texans may be unduly enamored of ex-college yell leaders, outside of Texas they’re regarded as completely puerile & silly; and on and on.

Still, I suspect the biggest message is that an overwhelming majority of Republican primary voters are strongly unified in not wanting their party to end up nominating Romney, and are acting out their frustrations in seeing their shared hopes for a viable alternative hemorrhaging like like a back-shot coyote . 

Yeah, he’s really going to miss all that extra cash he needs to remind folks he’s the president.

Nein nein nein.

9-9-9…not 10-10-10…wren’t you listening?..9-9-9

Support is in the wallet and Cain doesn’t have any.

just4thefax,

I apologize for my last comment. I thought you were responding to my comment to Glovesdonahue. I was distracted by people around me here at home. My bad.

As for your Christianity question, I do wonder if Rick Perry (and Anita) consider Mormons or Catholics to be real Christians.

In case you haven’t seen it on kos or think propaganda yet a generic republican polls better than oboma.

How can we vote for him if he hasn’t won the nomination, socky?

It’s hard not to like him for his resilience, at least; but he’s always known his place and there’s no reason to think he’s lost track of it in the glare of national attention. He’s the guy, after all, most eager to indicate who he would and would not like to serve among the other candidates as second banana.

The biggest problem for ol’ Herb won’t be the attacks on his nein-nein-nein plan, because that’s too hard for his fellow competitors to act, what with ALL of them, RoPaul possibly alone excepted, courting the Pete Petersens, Grover Nordquists, Koch Bros, & Karl Roves of the moneybags set. Instead, it will be his nearly complete absence of a GOTV organization. Pretty soon, the focus will be a lot less on the debates and a lot more on push polls, robo calls, big TV ad buys, and the candidates’ ground games. That’s where Cain is going to fall off. The question then is who picks up his votes. Perry knows that those votes want to go to him, but he can’t even say Hello let alone close the deal.

Keep in mind that New Hampshire right now is looking at two dates in December, the earliest one being the 6th, and that Iowa is insisting on its usual position of going first. Voting could start in a matter of 6 weeks. 

sock alert

Obama, Perry and Romney don’t really care about Cain because they know he is a joke candidate with no campaign, money, endorsements or chance, but once they start spending THEIR money they will rip a hole in this guys asshole so large they will turn him inside out.

Until then he is a welcome distraction.

All he has to do is say again how much he hates the Constitution, and Republicans will send more money.

Yes.. Yes they are. As evident by only going to Reblican Millonaire houses to protest, all the while pasing Demcrat billonaire houses

Republicans take pride in being stupid.  I’m not taking a shot or joking.  Republicans truly take pride in being stupid.

Obama will kot win re-election so voting for him is a waste of your vote.. So why bother voting for him..Stay home

GlovesDonahue,

Will there now be a Bogart avatar?

I love how you say that without any sense of irony. You’ve got a whole stable of potential nominees — Gingrich, Romney, Bachmann, Perry, Paul, Cain, Santorum — and yet after months of campaigning, the only one who can beat Obama is “Generic.”

Priceless.

For the 9,999,999,999 the time: You may not, NOT, N O T, have my unlaundered gym socks or my unlaundered athletic supporter. Stop asking. It’s pathetic. And kreepy.

I sorta remember 6 onths ago when everyone said Mr Cain had no chance and would never crack 5% of the vote.. Than people said well he popular now but will fade fast, that was 3  months ago… He will be fine and the money is starting to come in. Here in Charlotte even Democrats like him

Yet, all, ALL, A L L of the named nominees lose!

Oh, that’s hilarious!

Uh, I dunno.

When I hear a 1 point difference between 9 and 10 I automatically calculate using x .09 instead of x.1 = 10%

Adding to California’s sales tax, I still think  8.75% because I don’t count the local SALES TAXES.

The point here, in case you still don’t get it, dumbsht Cain is trying to sell pizza with a 9% tax, when for all practical purposes, unless you are a moron, it is indeed 10%.

10% “national sales tax” + 8.75% CA sales tax = 20% tax at the cashier.

On the other hand, the moron Cain doesn’t mention ANY CUTS to “big gubimmint” expenditures. Why, BECAUSE HE HAS NO CLUE!

My friend Big Edward was banned a couple of weeks ago . I stepped in to fill the void . As a gangster/American , we need our voices heard .

Mr. Robinson , Bogart , Cagney and so many character actors were much better than their films , I think .Rather watch a good old movie than a sorry new movie . 

Oh let him have it – you know he likes ‘em nice and ripe…

Nice username!! =)

Obama is campaigning/lying . He’s desperate . He’s clueless .

He’s losing .

Trust me: he gets it…

:)

Herb Cain better go deliver more pizzas if he wants to compete (campaign funds) with the other nominees!! He should also charge more than $9.99 per pizza!!

Romney will be the nominee. I give it a 85 percent probability.
For some on the Right this is Kabuki theatre, for others on the right this is life or death.
Interesting. As governor of Massachusetts, Romney seemed the equivalent of Charlie Crist (Who I ended up voting for here in Florida for Senate as Meek did not have a chance).
Mitt Romney could end up being a somewhat decent President. He could also end up being a real dickhead beholden to the Tea Party.
There is a Romney I kind of like. There is also a Romney I greatly dislike. He is quite the enigma.
I find Andrew’s comments interesting and scary.

3 months?

For a limited time only – he’s throwing in a copy of his book, gospel CD, and a pocket bible signed by Jesus himself (along with that wonderful pizza of his) – all for $9.99!

good boy

want a cookie?

Nice.
Did momma grizzly tell you to say that or did you come up with it all on your own?
Change the incentizes
(wtf does that mean?)

All the talk now is about who will be Romney’s running mate.  It’s an inevitability.

And you have to wonder how Rush Limbaugh and the “real” conservatives will work to undermine his candidacy…

Username?
It’s the Regressive slogan.

Fantastic, where is this generic Republican… Oh you mean he isn’t real, darn it. I was hoping that we could have a race between generic republican and
generic democrat, and the winner will be the president of generic
America. You know that the generic democrat beat bush in 2003, and a real democrat beat him in 2000, his name was Al Gore. The only real Republican that can even match Obama now is Romney, and he is pro Roe v. Wade, wants to close tax loopholes, Inspired Obamacare, and is now sympathetic to Occupy Wall Street. So basically the only viable republican is a democrat.

Yes Mama Grizzly already fleeced the rubes and now their not in a giving mood. LOL

Scary Perry has God on his side… or so he thinks!!

Plus, slap a fake mustache on Perry and give him a black Trans Am, and Perry could star in ‘Smokey and the Bandit”… Part 6!!

Michelle Bachmann as “Carrie” in Sally Field’s role
Chris Christie as “Buford T. Justice” in Jackie Gleasons’s role
and Ron Paul as “Cleatus” in Jerry Reed’s role

He passed just today, a law that mad sure that the Healthcare for all (which does not pay for abortions)
really, really, really did not pay for abortions

I mean really

I guess Black Walnut Ice Cream which you can get in a cup or in a cone, is gonna have to decide

Cup

And if there’s anyone who knows about being clueless, it’s you.

Cain is a joke and I haven’t seen such a media whore since Palin. Romney will fund him to keep this clown around to be a stalking horse against Perry. Once Perry is gone the trap door in the floor opens and Pizza Man vanishes.

Sweet!! I’ll take 2!! No, wait… I’ll take 5 and get all my Christmas shopping done at once!! Man, my family are going to love them!!  =)

Teabaggers want to financially support Cain but they just can’t get over the hurdle that giving money to a Black man isn’t welfare.

so are we in the right, with these candidates we do not have a prayer, so let’s get use to it

Damn.

BFD is throwin down!

I guess he called it a jobs bill.

The wingnuts are so deranged and unhinged in their hatred of Obama they completely overlook the fact this fool wants to impose a federal tax on everything in all 50 states. That is so conservative! lol

I am not worthy . Bogie is the King . He was Gloves , of course , but E.G. could have played him , too .

Lol!! Good one!!

This would be the same Juanita Parry who insists that the Austin Women’s Club install runners in the area in which she may be walking because the thick carpet makes her go wobbly? Who is rude to each and every waitress, sales clerk or attendant she encounters, to the point of trying to get them fired? Who returns dresses to the stores the night after she wears them to a ceremonial event?

Be clear: There is nothing religious about the Parrys. If Jesus didn’t get votes, they wouldn’t allow him in the inn.

How can he win the nomination if we don’t vote for him?

Well he was cool years ago when he just had jokes and links to old tunes and references to old Moviestars.

Good analysis. I think your last point is the right one. Republicans greatly fear Romney. He could very possibly be Obama lite. And Obama is Bush lite. Tea party Republicans just want an authentic small government conservative. End of story.

Amazing, even Patin waited unto after the election to sell her book. Get it while you can.

Does the government pay for other discretionary medical procedures? Can I get the government to pay for hair plugs or cosmetic surgery? Why should some discretionary procedures be funded by the federal government and not others?

I didn’t read the article, but the headline said that Grover Norquist was against Herman Cain’s tax reform proposal.

Don’t worry the money will start coming in. Even Cain himself kept his organization small because he knew he would be a long shot at the beginning. To be able to have this much popular support without the money says a lot for his potential when he does gets the money. Now that he knows and his supporters know he is a viable top tier candidate the money will start coming in. He used to have a big weakness called ‘name recognition’. That weakness is rapidly going away.

Herman Cain is the only top tier candidate that has the appeal of the Tea Party, the religious base and the neo-conservatives as a combination.

The Tea Party supporters like him because he wants to return to fiscal sanity and constitutional principles. Many Tea Party supporter advocate a radical over haul of the tax system. The 9-9-9 plan appeals to Tea Party supporters because it shows a willingness to think outside the box and they view it as a stepping stone to the FairTax. It may be unrealistic to think either of these plans would pass the current Congress or Senate but after 2012 less RINOs and liberals will be in office. This doesn’t mean it will pass but we will be very close to getting something simple and efficient that doesn’t cost the American people and businesses nearly half a trillion dollars to just hire people or tax programs to figure it all out. Reforming the tax code to be pro-business and less complicated is the single biggest thing we can do to get jobs back to America. They also like him because he doesn’t have a problem not being PC when called for.

He appeals to religious right because his is an associate Baptist minister. He probably could not get Role v. Wade over turned but he would restrict federal funding and as a Black man may be able to be a good mouth piece in educating Blacks in this country that abortions has impacted them the most. A few million more Blacks would be alive today had abortion not been an option. I’m not necessarily someone who thinks abortion should be out right illegal but I see both sides.

The Neo-Cons like his back to the basics foreign policy approach. Know who your enemies are and who your friends are and be clear about what that means. Build and update a missile defense system that is unmatched by any other country so we can deter and protect ourselves and our interest against a rouge nation using nukes. Peace through strength.

 You probably don’t like his views or policies but I and others do. His wide range appeal and his name recognition is only getting better. And the other thing that I don’t really need to mention he is a very intelligent man that is motivated and successful. I’ve said this before his is a better role model for people of all races than Obama is for his own race. Just my opinion.

Other candidates are considered by many as to far libertarian although I consider myself one the country ain’t quite ready for us yet. Some of the candidates believe that AGW is real which will get them no where with the rank and file republican like myself. Mitt is way too liberal for most. Herman Cain is the perfect storm headed to the White House. 

sorry of any typos it’s getting late I didn’t have time to check for errors.

Yes, it was the Real Royal Emperor. Peee Uuuuu.

Romney as “Obama light” would be far superior to the actual Obama. At least Romney doesn’t want to fundamentally change the very nature of what the United States stands for.

Well, Charlie does have a point. Obama has been a miserable failure.

Cain is a prime example of a self made American. Someone who has lived the American Dearm so many have strived for throughout our history. It is precisely why the left hate him so much, as evidenced here day after day. Cain is hated by the left simply because he dares to be a conservative black man.

The wingnuts on the left are do deranged and unhinged in their hatred of any conservative they completely overlook the fact that Obama wants to fundamentally change the very essence of what the United States of American stands for. That is so liberal. lol

We love self-made Americans. We hate bigots. And Herman Cain is one of the best known bigots in America.

A man who promises to ignore the Constitution to make way for his bigotry should NEVER EVER EVER be considered for president of the United States. Anybody who thinks otherwise is nuts.

You don’t have a clue what the US stands for you crazy fool.

sock alert

I’m sure the GOP will have a spot for Cain on Dancing With The Stars when they are through with him. Maybe he will be a new partner for Bristol Palin.

sock alert

YAY FREEDOMS! BIG GUB’MENT WON’T INFRINGE ON OUR RIGHTS!

Expect to see this nutjob with a gig on Fox News after he bombs out. Fox is the new graveyard for GOP has-beens.

He’ll just have his peas down at the Fed print him up some fresh script.

Just dont ask $ from mama grizz. she still thinks your name is Herb – her ancestors favorite ‘ worker ‘ – don’t as your brethren to pledge. they wont even cut your hair. 

White supremacy has profoundly damaged some black people people in this country. Truly it has. Case in point: at every step of his career Herman Cain benefited from the Civil Rights Movement and programs such as affirmative action in hiring and university admissions. Now, he spits in the face of that legacy and plays the “racism doesn’t exist” game.I am still processing Herman Cain’s mouth utterances and white racism apology parade from earlier today on CNN. At first, I thought that Herman Cain was running a con game and did not believe the mess he was offering to satisfy his white tea party base. Now, I am at a point where I am convinced that Herman Cain believes what he is saying; his internalization of white supremacy and disdain for black people is the real deal.Herman Cain is a crystallization of black self-hate and a gross, almost clinical narcissism. at that video for example, there is so much pain in his anecdote about being refused service at a black barbershop that I almost–notice I said almost–want to shed a tear for poor lil HERB.

Your post is a Stuttering Clusterfuck of a miserable failure!

Cain’s plan has picked up a couple of important, wholehearted endorsements: Paul Ryan and Art Laffer.

Jeez – I’d hate to see a Milquetoast Romney get in, or worse yet, Obama re-elected, simply ’cause they’ve got the most money.  Don’t understand – if people like Cain, and if they like the ‘message’, then why not support him?  We REALLY NEED to get away from “business as usual”.
 

Herman Cain makes republicans feel good about themselves.  He gives them THE ILLUSION OF INCLUSION, so they vote for him in these mock polls but they will never give a black man their hard earned cash.  Tha’ts too much like welfare

9 PIZZAS FOR 9 DAYS AT 900.00 should solve his problem

LOLOLOL….PRICELESS!!

yeah but HE’S GOT MORE THAN CAIN

Any TEAparty member can explain  what they  are about.  Cut ,Cap and Balance. Those blobs of OWS know nothing, a coherent sentence is beyond  them.

what are you babbling about? if anyone is ignoring the Constitution it’s  0bama , the EPA, HHS.

Yes, Obama does pretty much everything Republicans tell him to do.

Teabaggers protest themselves. Teabaggers supported the belligerent spending, wars, deregulation, and tax cuts that destroyed our economy. They only call themselves Teabaggers because they are too embarrassed to call themselves Republicans. Imagine being stupid enough to join a movement where you protest the damage you have done. Oh, you don’t have to imagine.

One black guy’s campaign is characterized by Burger King and the other’s is characterized by $16 muffins.

Cain isn’t getting donations because people who understand money know his 999 plan is a scam meant only to last long enough to keep him in the race. Seems people know he is doomed and won’t waste their money on him.

Maybe you are the one who misunderstands the very essence of the United States.
I guess Glenn Beck is your source of expert opinion on the essence thing. Or is it Sarah Palin? Both of them are proven losers, and Bachmann is already fading fast.
The Tea Party has had its shot, and OWS is the backlash.
In the end, Obama will be re-elected, and that is the essence of the US.

Clearly, he is only repeating what he has been told.

His 999 plan will be shot down within 1 month. It is that obviously unworkable.

Got anything more recent? I think that one is as out of date as last week’s poll on Republican candidates.

The sad thing is that the mix of all Republican candidates is worse than any one of them alone, and this Generic Republican probably is John Huntsman.

999 appeals to Tea Party members because they can’t do math.
They like the fact that he did it for them and came up with numbers that sound good.
What they don’t realize is that their federal income tax would stay about the same, but new tax would be an ADDITIONAL 9%.
It would effectively DOUBLE the amount of tax they pay to the US government, and that is the OPPOSITE of what they have been yelling about all along.

That trick won’t work. :-)

You think Cain is the richest candidate on that stage?
I doubt it very much, but you can show me some figures from reliable sources if you want.

Not even tangentially.

Well you certainly don’t know what you are talking about. I am a middle aged southern white woman who just went to Herman Cain’s website and donated some money to his campaign about 10 minutes ago.
I also plan on voting for him in the primaries. He is an intelligent man. Listen to him. You might learn something.
