13 Oh dear.

14 Peewee stick? So this is a thread for the last South Park episode "T.M.I."

15 Since many will come here later that have read the previous thread I will report his plank here.

Herman Cain's platform

Note: You must have Java Script enabled for this to work.

He sounds an awful lot like Ronald Reagan here.

19 Ah'll haf a box of popcorn, please. Small.

20 Herman! Herman! Herman!

21 Imagine if that silly song playing right now on the Can live video was The Scorpions instead.

22 I'm curious what the cspan callers are gonna say. Wonder if the Oreo comment comes out

23 I know I'm in the minority here but Pee Wee Herman brings such delight. I giggle every time I think of him.

He's friggin genius. I don't give a shit what you people say.

24

America is an exceptional nation. It is exceptional because of its history of success, itÂ’s resiliency through tough times, and the tenacity of the American people to keep America strong, independent, and free. We refuse to let our problems fester any longer. We refuse to continue on this fast track to socialism. We refuse to become the United States of Europe.

Sigh

Like watching the mist evaporate from the shining city on a hill.

25
Uncle Tom Herman?

26 He's got a great laugh.  Compare his sense of humor and seeming joy of life to the petulant child in the WH.

His family is attractive, and I'd love to see/know more about his pretty, petite wife.  How nice it would be to have a FLOTUS without a frown and a staff of 25 to dress her.

27 Hmm...

As I shake off my cocaine hangover and stumble over the dead hookers strewn about my apartment, I can't help bu think it is decidedly inconvenient that the world did not end today.

28 Millions of women will love his First Lady for the very fact she's not on the cover of Vogue or telling Mom's how/what to feed their children.

He has a v. nice looking family. Not that any of this matters all things considered - I just like seeing people that genuinely love their country.

29

It's not FKOTUS' height that makes her hideous, it's her scowl, her sneer, and her reluctance to stop dressing like she's an 18-year-old girl who wears a size 8.

56 "It's not FKOTUS' height that makes her hideous, it's her scowl, her sneer, and her reluctance to stop dressing like she's an 18-year-old girl who wears a size 8." Goodness, yes! Whoever dresses her should seriously be fired. I have relatives that have a similarly weird figure (ginormous on bottom, concave on top) and they always insist on trying to dress just like MO dresses. They would all look much better with something blousier on top to balance out the backside. Ad for the love of Pete, loose the frigging belts!!!

Having just moved here, I'm no expert (Vic knows better), but I think Cain could do pretty well here in SC for a variety of reasons.

I'm still not sold on his viability, but I do like the fact he seems to get better every time I see him as far as interviews and speeches go.

With majorities in the House, Senate, and President we can roll back all this leftist, facist, AGW worshiping, job killing leftist legislation and start to live freer lives. No more foreign policy embarrassments. Economic turn around. Finally!

120 @107 As much as a despise this fact, it would be helpful for POTUS to have had experience dealing with a legislature. Unfortunately, the public sector does not work like the private sector and having a rational, private sector person in the White House would not change that. It's not a deal breaker for me, but we'd be lying to ourselves if we didn't admit that this type of transition would, at best, require some OJT and ramp up time.

121 He just needs to pick a seasoned legislator as a running mate.  He dropped three named on hannity's radio show yesterday, Bachman, DeMint and Tom Coburn.  Not sure how I feel about any of them but this signals to me that he knows he needs someone who knows the process well.

122

Rock you like a Herman Cain is awesome! 

Cainiac (Maniac) works too, even though it's a shit song.

123 As much as a despise this fact, it would be helpful for POTUS to have had experience dealing with a legislature.

Not necessary.  A good leader-administrator with real executive experience will know to surround him/herself with the best people.  With the best advice, s/he will be able to make a superior decision.

124

POTUS not being an entry-level job is not the whining of the political class. Its the complaint of everyone who has bashed Obama for the lase four years.

Herman is a fun, nice little candidate. But he's not viable. Its a side-show.

Posted by: Damiano at May 21, 2011 01:50 PM (3nrx7) OTOH, the legislature would also have to learn to deal with him. Plus, the typical behavior of legislatures is not sacrosanct. Legislatures need major changes, too. Why are we so afraid of revolutionary change?

126

Posted by: Damiano at May 21, 2011 01:50 PM (3nrx7)

Perhaps and I agree to a certain extent but from what I understand of Cain so far, he is precisely the type of candidate we've been wanting. Not a career politician, an experienced and successful business man, etc.

The lack of any political experience as a negative factor is clear down at the bottom of the list, for me.

127 He just needs to pick a seasoned legislator as a running mate.  He dropped three named on hannity's radio show yesterday, Bachman, DeMint and Tom Coburn.

I would prefer we keep Bachmann and DeMint where they are at rather than a warm spit job like VP. Since Coburn has gone all "tax increase" on us.

128 POTUS not being an entry-level job is not the whining of the political class. Its the complaint of everyone who has bashed Obama for the lase four years. Herman is a fun, nice little candidate. But he's not viable. Its a side-show. Posted by: swamp_yankee at May 21, 2011 01:53 PM (jOQSe) The problem comes from defining only certain types of experience as useful and completely ignoring the role of character.

129 Callista and I are always open to fresh ideas, like the kind you'll find at American Solutions, when you buy our DVDs, and when Cain picks us to be his running mate. We've spent years working toward this challenge, and you can follow our work on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and 4chan.

130

Cain is going to be a breath of fresh air in this race. IMHO, he's the first real, solid conservative in the field. He has good business experience, just enough political experience (like the old joke back home, "Have you been to college?" Answer: "Not enough to hurt." *rimshot*), he's a regular guy who's been in the public eye (or ear, with his talk show) so he's used to getting his point across, his platform is plainly spelled out (thanks for the link to it, Vic) and there aren't any skeletons rattling around in his closet. Even his statment that he wouldn't have a muzzie in his cabinet isn't getting to much criticizm (yet), that's a big plus for a lot of folk.

Also, it's not his "turn." See 2008 for that pathetic example.

And he's not SarahCuda. I'm willing to bet she'll endorse him if she decides not to run. He's the closest we can get to the perfect candidate as of today. Even the Head Ewok just might agree he's electable.

It's about time we had someone we can vote for, and not have to hold our noses (Juan McCain, I'm looking at your sorry ass).

All in all, since we're still here today, not too shabby. I'm not a Cainiac, but I'll consider him the front-runner until my other favs decide to run, like The Round Mound of Fiscal Soundness, or John Bolton's Mustache, or even SaraCuda.

Wrong.  George Washington is the best example.  Not the smartest guy, but he was the greatest leader.  He knew to surround himself with the greatest minds there were (think Jefferson and Hamilton), and his leadership skills took over from there.

136

Careful now. Let's not set a precedent for proportional elections. The Dems would love that.

I'm not real worried about that.  Dims will call for that, no matter how the GOP organizes its primaries.

The primary process should bring about the strongest possible candidate who best reflects the values of the party/base.

It should be balanced and long enough (no progressive states like Iowa having undue influence, nor big winner take all states helping the likes of a McCain) to produce a strong conservative candidate.

137

The lack of any political experience as a negative factor is clear down at the bottom of the list, for me.

I tend to view the lack of political experience as a plus--he hasn't been corrupted by the inside the beltway ruling class and he hasn't learned how to get his hand in the Federal till.

TV Channel Guide description: Lassie: "..........Timmy learns not to hunt."

I catch the last 3 minutes. Grandpa, I guess, and Timmy come back from hunting, tell mom they didn't catch anything. Timmy says he learned a lot and that "the next time we go hunting, I won't bring a rifle!"

Mom: "I'm glad to hear that!"

I love Lassie. We had 3 growing up that looked just like the movie dog. But, I guess the frikking dog is going to have to scavenge for Timmy during the zombie apocalypse also. I've never been hunting, but I know it's a skill I need to pick up and learn, especially now.

I honstly believe liberals are suicidal. Culturally, Europe and Canada are gone. Conservative America is the last stand for Western civ.

143 @123 Agreed on decision making. Making decisions and setting and agenda are one thing. Getting and agenda implemented is were my concerns are. Again, I despise this fact, but the public sector "functions" in the most backward, inefficient manner possible and POTUS does not have the unilateral power to change this. A private sector executive would feel powerless and neutered as POTUS. This is not to say that I am at all opposed to a private sector president, but suggesting that anyone saying experience in government is whining is overboard.

144 CAIN IS ABLE!

Thing is, without strong knowledge of the political system Cain would be susceptible to influence by his "handlers," i.e., politically experienced advisors that would inevitably use his inexperience to influence him.

147 This seems apropos for today's events.

I don't think he will be so easy to intimidate.

163 I'm experienced.

164 Getting and agenda implemented is were my concerns are.

So Cain will bring in a couple of modern-day LBJs.  Getting legislation through, foreign policy, whatever the issue is, a good, seasoned executive will seek the best input.  That's what he's done all his life.

165

Cain I haz freedom?

No.

166 You want experience? Bob Dole has experience!

167 @157  He ran in GA for Senate.

168 I like my presidents like my coffee... with some Cain sugah!

169 My complaint is with folks who say if you have insufficient political experience (something defined only by them, BTW), then you are not qualified to be POTUS, period. To say such a thing is the whining of the political class.

170 Delta, you should save the Kreig sox for funny jokes.

171 Scorpions: that lame ass group which makes one ponder "you call this metal???" whenever one's senses are assaulted by its existence.

Scorpions rock, dude.  Always have.

172
It's possible Herman Cain is unable to win, but he will cause the Cooter-in-Chief aggravation and heartburn with his common sense approach,  and unwillingness to obfuscate and lie like Barky and the rest of the socialist/Marxists in the democrat party.

173

As much as a despise this fact, it would be helpful for POTUS to have had experience dealing with a legislature.

I think, as a businessman, he'd be more inclined to say, "Here's what needs to be done, go do it. I expect a bill on my desk ready for me to sign by tomorrow."

Remember how quickly the ObamaCare bill was ready to go? Somebody had that bill already written, most of the time was spent twisting the arms of the few Dims who weren't radial, lefty progressives. I believe that there should be an effort like that already waiting in the wings to repeal OCare, the Dodd, financial bill, and everything else this adminsitration has passed against our will.

It's painfully evident to me that the cats in congress can be hearded. All it will take is a president with a mandate to undo the last four years.

Did I mention that I'm looking forward to adding conservatives to the House and taking the Senate with a super-majority? Don't laugh, it can be done.

I think the Defeat of Obama will be as historic as his election, except in the other direction. We've done it before, there are only a few in the squishy middle who need to be persuaded. They'll follow the biggest crowd since they are unable to think for themselves. We make enough of a racket about Obama, they'll come over to our side without too mcuh trouble.

It. Will. Happen.

174 Of all the "official" (declared) entrants this far, I like Cain the most.  Probably not realistic as the nominee, but if he can tug the mainstream candidates conservativeward, more power to him.  (Same goes for Bachmann on all counts.)

175 And I don't even want to poke at logprof with the fact that Derrick Thomas got 7-sacks on Kreig in one game and the Chiefs still lost the game.  Heh.

177 I think it's safe to say that unlike our previous candidate, Cain won't tell everyone how awesome Obama is and how he'd make a great POTUS.  Fuck John McCain and his famewhore spawn.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo

Yes it is, and here's the kicker.  A lot of the politicians and shakers and movers in Beltway politics are not very smart, but have a lot of money and political clout (meaning popular backing) behind them.  It distorts every value judgement, and reality is more subjective than objective. A rational, intelligent man or woman can get clobbered for just being rational and intelligent.

In corporate politics, usually most of the players have above average intelligence, sometimes very above average IQ.  And their enemies don't leak dirt about them to be read by the masses in the New York Times or the Washington Post.

Herman's tough, but he will have to survive a savage campaign by the media against him.  It will be worse for him than it was for Sarah, but I think he can take it.  He is tough.

193 @135 I get your point, but Washington is an extremely poor example to illustrate it. Washington spent the better part of his life in the military and in government. He was extremely well versed in legislative process, history, and the evolution of governments throughout history. He was part of crafting our government and held a unique perspective on the role of the Presidency that set crucial precedents that were overlooked in the Constitution. Prior to taking the office (which he did not want and did not feel entirely qualified for) he had decades of legislative and governmental experience as well as a depth knowledge of government that is unheard of in any politician today. I agree that we need a Washington. What made Washington great was his exceptionalism. I don't dislike Cain like I do the majority of our candidate pool. He is a good man who has well earned his several accomplishments in life, but is is not exceptional and he is, even by his own admission, naive in the ways of politics (see his own reviews of his senate campaign). If we are going to truly address the many serious issues in this country, we cannot settle for anything less that unparalleled exceptionalism in a POTUS. Comparing anyone to Obama does not make them exceptional. It means that they are simply more than an over-marketed example of everything wrong with Affirmative Action and the ignorance and ills of our society.

If Herman Cain is tainted for his loss in Georgia, then Bill Clinton must be the same for his failure to be reelected to the governorship of Arkansas in 1980.  Well, unless there is a double standard for liberals who become more focused and nuanced or pussified after their loss?

Losing in a primary to a relatively friendly opponent in a conservative state isn't. 

Look in fairness, no one is really prepared to run for President.  So I'm picking nits here a bit.  But from a skeletons in the closet stand point/ ability to take the heat in the middle of a spirited campaign, Cain is untested.

Let's not make perfect the enemy of the good. Washington was exceptional in his time in great measure because his time was exceptional. Never before in human history had a government been constructed from scratch with the principles enshrined in our Constituion. Washington was indeed exceptional, but that was a rare time, and he wasn't the only exceptional architect of our republic. They all were.

The world has never seen anything like it before, nor since. Today, the world is a different place, and American society is vastly different from from that in the 1700's. Cain is as close as we can get to a true statesman: one who has a clear vision of the course we need to set and who will not compromise his views for the sake of political expediency, or to be "liked." His inner strength will overcome any of his newness to the office. I don't think he'll allow himself to be bamboozled by anyone.

Herman is a fun, nice little candidate. But he's not viable. Its a side-show.

-Clueless

How many in the would-be candidates have supported cap & trade, TARP, variations of Obamacare, and/or the stimulus?  Selecting a candidate because of "viability" gives you leaders like Schwarzenegger... who gave us The Global Warming Solutions Act which is driving out all manufacturers from California.  And 30+ billion dollars of debt.  And an ENTIRELY Democrat-run state government.

We don't need an Obama-clone with an "R" after the name.  The D.C. elites didn't think Reagan was viable either.  They never think a real conservative is viable.  The D.C. elites don't have a great track record of success.  Herman Cain does.

217 The theory's going around that I lost 49 states because on TV I always looked like I had a cob up my ass. I think that's really unfair.

218 For anyone touting the Federal Reserve experience as a substitute for government experience... The Federal Reserve operates as a semi private entity. It's decisions are not subject to Congressional or Presidential ratification. Cain, is his role, reported to the Reserve Board; not much different than reporting to a board of directors. I agree that lack of government experience in politicians can be more of a feature than a bug (personally, I would like a ban on political experience in the House and Senate), I just think that we need to be careful not to overstate "qualifications" of a candidate and run the risk of sounding like all the imbeciles who touted community organizing as executive experience and a part time adjunct professor as a "Constitutional Scholar".

Cain doesnt have a record. Its easy to attack candidates with records, its hard to attack political novices. But Remember, Cain backed Romney in 2008,

226

His support for crap and tax was more than just rhetoric

 

Governors from six Midwestern states have agreed to set up a carbon trading market aimed at reducing the region's contribution to global warming. The agreements were announced at a so-called energy summit.

227 @212 I agree with your assessment, just not your conclusion. I don't mean to diminish the accomplishment of our Founding Fathers in any respect, however, I think that today's challenges are different and, in their own way, equal or in excess of the challenges that they faced. I agree with others here that the answer lies in the return to the principles that our Founders established, but the application is far more complex now. Again sanity and their advice, we are part of a global economy. The world is a far more complex place than it was. Their challenges of getting 13 states to function together, when the primary economic and social divide was slavery is far more complex with 50 states divided over the fundamental aspects of our union, as a start, and extending to abortion, healthcare, entitlements, wars, terrorism, etc. Contrary to your conclusion, I think that it is imperative that we find an equal calibre of person to our founders for today's government. Anything less means a continuation of our decline.

228 But Remember, Cain backed Romney in 2008,

So did I after Fred dropped out. But I will not back him now. No more RINOs.

And frankly I can not believe some of the Morons here are calling "lack of political" experience a negative.

229 Caaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!

230 @226 I dislike T-Paw is more rooted his overall weakness as a leader than his several "squishy" policy positions. IMO the guy is simply a conciliatory consensus builder (at best) and not a leader. In other words, he's too much of a beta male to be an effective POTUS, particularly in the face of a collapsing economy, 3 wars, global terrorism, and a domestic environment that is beginning to resemble the pre- civil war days. He was a good choice to balance to deep blue and light speckles of red as governor of MN, but POTUS would be a Peter Principle promotion for him.

Considering the alternative towards the end was McCain, I can't blame him for that.

We could use an outsider.  The insiders got us here.

233 at least Cain has been through a political campaign before (GA Senate).  that is good, even if he didn't win, he still has the experience.

it concerns me a bit that he had Stage 4 cancer.  that is not just "a lump".

His executive experience is stellar.  It is hard to argue with that.

The fact that he's had a radio show for a long time is a bit troubling because you just know that someone is going to be dredging up all of those archives and pulling out some inflammatory or nonsense thing he said over a live mic for like 15 seconds over years and years of broadcast time, and use that to smear him in some unfounded way

overall I'm not sure how I feel about him - he is not my top choice but at this point I don't know who my top choice would be.

234 In other words, he's too much of a beta male to be an effective POTUS,

Well, I do think we need a bit of beta-male-ism in a candidate, just enough, so as not to scare away too many people who might be inclined to vote for him.  People tend not to want to vote for people perceived as crazy & nuts and that is how pure alpha-male-type people can come off as sometimes.

235 Damn, this is a hell of a game, like last night's.

I agree, but I haven't seen anyone like that emerge from the current crop of Repubs. Cain is close, but he's a far cry from what I see as the perfect candidate, as do you.

But we must fight with what we have, instead of what we'd like to have. It's unfortunate that the office isn't attractive to who we really need to occupy it, since they know they'd be raked over the coals by the MFM, lied about,  misquoted and taken out of context with wild abandon.

Just out of curiosity, who would you recommend? It could be anyone, inside or outside of politics. I'd have to give it some thought myself, so I'm not  ready to offer my own recommendation right now. But I'd like to hear yours.

Master Bator Cain   

241 "If anything, the fact that he won an election in a Democrat "wave year" in a blue state without selling out as much as Romney seems a plus to me." I can see the campaign commercial now. Tim Pawlenty: Not as big a sell out as Mitt Romney. Winning!

242

Ha!

243 I first became aware of Herman Cain when he ran against Johnny Isakson  for Senator in the 2004 Georgia elections. I liked him then but voted for Isakson because I knew more about him and knew that Johnny  would do a good job for conservatives. I became reacquainted with Mr. Cain when he started filling in for Neal Boortz on his talk show when Neal would be off. This man is a hell of a person.  This man is sincere, extremely intelligent, able to cut through all the BS, and offer viable solutions to our current economic woes. He's got my vote in the primaries for sure.

246 --If Boortz likes Cain, that's a big plus.

That's a negative for me, but not a deal breaker. Pawlenty's support for crap and tax IS a deal breaker because it places him in in one or more of these camps:

A lying shit-weasel who will take any political stance if he thinks it will buy him votes

A communist who used eco-lies to forward the agenda.

A green shit-weasel who is dumber than a creosote post.

247 Oh yeah, Boortz loves Cain, Cain is also for the Fair Tax, a big plus for me.

--But in the end, you would go out and vote for him over Sir Golfsalot, right?  Right?

249 @240 Good question. I don't care for anyone in the current field or who is being speculated about. If someone put a gun to my head and made me pick a candidate, I'd probably go with Rick Perry, then whip myself for it for 4 years. The only reason I pick him is because he's solid on States Rights, he has a record of backing down from bad positions when voters say "no", and I think his corruption would actual serve him well in the sewer that is DC. The candidate I would like has not been identified. If I could create a Frankenstein candidate, it would be a former 2 term governor who has private industry experience in excess of Cain and either military record like West or similar foreign policy chops of The 'Stache... Or both. It's a lot to ask for, but no less that the minimum of what the office requires and is still inferior to Washington.

250 --But in the end, you would go out and vote for him over Sir Golfsalot, right?  Right?

I wouldn't like it but I probably would. If he does get the nod though it tells me that the Republican Party is doomed in the long run.
