As Herman Cain becomes more of known commodity, it appears that the ugliness I first reported on was no abberation. There’s now no doubt whatsoever that Cain- bought and paid for by the Koch brothers- may profess to love America, but he clearly hates Americans. He’s an Ayn Rand Republican willing to let the sick die, the poor starve, and the unemployed stew in (what he perceives to be) their own sloth and indolence.
I find it difficult to believe that Cain has a snowball’s chance in Hell of actually becoming our next President. It’s almost as difficult to imagine him winning the GOP nomination, but Republicans primary voters are just bloodthirsty (and, yes, stupid) enough to think Cain is the answer to their prayers. From where I sit, there’s no way that Cain’s brand of Randian evil will play well with the American electorate, which is far more centrist than your average Republican primary voter bloc, many of whom could use a compassion transplant.
Herman Cain’s Go-To Historian on the Muslim World: Destroy Islam. Isn’t it nice to know that Cain has surrounded himself with advisors who believe in tolerance, acceptance, and…wait…what?? Oh, never mind….
Herman Cain On How To Stop Home Foreclosures: ‘Get Government Off The Back Of The Banks’. In CainWorld, the poor and middle class exist only to serve the interests of the oligarchy. To his way of thinking, what’s good for bankers is good for America. If you’re not rich, it’s your own damned fault, because you’re simply not trying hard enough. Somewhere warm and breezy, Ayn Rand is snickering into her Corona.
JUST HOURS LATER, CAIN FULLY DISAVOWS HIS OPENNESS TO NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS: ‘I MISSPOKE’. “I was for it before I learned that the approved talking points dictated that I must vigorously oppose it. Therefore, those who would negotiate with terrorists are American-hating pussies…and, worse, probably Liberals.”
Hillary Clinton, Hamid Karzai Joke About Herman Cain: If you’re going to portray you ignorance of the names of countries and their leaders as something to be proud of, you can’t expect to be surprised when you (deservedly) get mocked for said ignorance.
Herman Cain Doubles Down That Being Gay Is A Choice, ‘Washes Off’. Cain is more than willing to play the race card to his advantage, but don’t come around him acting as if homosexuality is anything but a personal choice. Hey, black may not wash off…but neither does your sexual orientation. Or bigotry.
Asked About Herman Cain Profiting From His Presidential Campaign, Spokesman Calls The Arrangement ‘Synergy’. Hey, if Newt Gingrich can make a career out of running for President…. Besides, a man’s got to feel the bulldog, right? Ain’t capitalism grand??
Cain Claims 999 Has A Secret Fix To Help The Poor: ‘I Just Haven’t Told The Public Or My Opponents About It Yet’. All we have to do is elect him and then he’ll share it with us…right??
Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan Just the Latest GOP Tax Cut Windfall for the Wealthy. When Liberals propose anything that smacks of redistributing wealth, it’s “Socialism.” When Conservatives do it, it’s “reforming the tax code.”
Herman Cain Admits That His 9-9-9 Plan Is A Tax Increase On the 99%. It would be the largest upward redistribution of wealth in our nation’s history. How Cain can spin this as anything but an attack on the poor and middle class defies rational understanding.
