After 3rd Sexual Harassment Allegation, Cain Loses Support With Base

So it seems that Republicans have a limit after-all. Apparently, two sexual abuse cases will get your poll numbers and donations increased among your Republican base, but if a third woman comes forth and makes the makes sexual harassment allegations, then Republicans will slowly begin to abandon your cause.

Herman Cain is seeing that abandonment play out in his bid to become the next big Republican’s book salesman, or the Republican nominee to go against President Obama in 2012.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Allegations that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain sexually harassed women in the 1990s have begun to damage his bid for the White House, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The poll showed the percentage of Republicans who view Cain favorably dropped 9 percentage points, to 57 percent from 66 percent a week ago.

Among all registered voters, Cain’s favorability declined 5 percentage points, to 32 percent from 37 percent.

The survey represents the first evidence that sexual harassmentclaims dating from Cain’s time as head of the National Restaurant Association have taken a toll on his presidential campaign.

A majority of respondents, 53 percent, believe sexual harassment allegations against Cain are true despite his denials. Republicans were less likely to believe they are true, with 39 percent thinking they are accurate.

Well, we were tricked and we’ll be the first to admit it. After the first two sexual harassment accusations came to light, Herman Cain saw his biggest fund-raising rewards since announcing his candidacy. Republicans just loved the man and nothing he said or did, would change their minds. They wanted him to be president.

Then the third woman came forward and, based on what happened with woman #1 and #2 , we wrote a blog saying that Cain’s stock price would go up with his Republican base, as they just adore the sexual abuser.

So now we have these new poll numbers and based on what they show, Republicans are rethinking their support for the Herman. So – we were wrong.  There is a limit to their support.

But then again, it’s still early in the process. Maybe a fourth sexual accusation against the Republican candidate will propel him right back onto the pedestal. Waiting…!

Brother From Another Mother? Koch And Cain Means ‘Koch-Cain’ For America

Herman Cain is setting the record straight and he wants the media, in fact, he wants the world to know! We have all suspected this before, but no one actually made the obvious connection. We see slight psychological resemblance, but now we know for a fact: Herman Cain and the Koch brothers are family. Different mothers, but same father. They are “brothers from another mother.”

Speaking at a conservative event on Friday, the Presidential Republican candidate explains the relationship between him and the Kochs.

“I’m proud to know the Koch brothers. I’m very proud to know the Koch brothers. They make it sound like that we have had time to go fishing together, hunting together, skiing together, golfing together,” Cain told the audience. “Just so I can clarify this to the media, this may be a new announcement for the media: I am the Koch brothers’ brother from another mother. Yes. I am their brother from another mother, and proud of it. You see, the reason that I am running for president, folks, is because I want to unite the United States of America, not divide the United States of America.”

A report by the Center For American Progress Action Fund finds that the billionaire brothers – owners of Koch Industries, a corporation dealing in array of industries ranging from oil and gas, minerals, chemicals, refineries and forestry among others – are using their wealth to bankroll “the right winged, including the Teaparty.” Their main objective, according to the report is “gutting government oversight and electing candidates who oppose government regulation, especially in the oil industry.” The lack of regulations the report claims, directly helps the bottom line of  Koch Industries.

Which brings us back to Herman Cain and why his “brothers from another mother” association with the Koch’s is so important. Knowing what we know about the Koch brothers and their wish for America – no government and no regulations – what will a Cain presidency mean for America?

You like ‘Koch-Cain?’

Third Accuser Of Cain Means More Donations For His Campaign

As far as the Republican base is concerned, the more people you abuse sexually, the more money they will give you for your campaign if you’re running for the Republican nominee for president of the United States, as is Herman Cain. Herman Cain already proved that when two women came forward claiming that they were sexually abused by him back in the 90’s. After the story first broke by POLITICO, Cain went on a marathon  run, explaining away these women as liars, and that no abuse took place.

Of course, that was a lie. Less than 24 hrs after denying these women’s claims, Herman suddenly remembered some details. He remembered how tall one of the ladies were – she was as tall as his wife.

“I made a gesture by putting my hand under my chin, standing near this lady, saying: ‘Oh, you’re the same height as my wife.’ My wife is 5 feet tall, she comes up to my chin and I was simply making that comparison.”

He remembered what he said to her and he remembered his company paying the victim a yea’rs salary for her to keep her mouth shut about it!

This admission would make any normal thinking person do a double take and force them to ask some very important questions. Is Cain really someone who has the moral capacity to be President? Is he someone we want our children to admire or look up to? Any normal thinking person will have second thoughts about Cain, and they should. But Republicans are not normal. Soon after Cain suggested that inappropriate actions may have happened in the 90’s with these women, his campaign made a bit of news – they hauled in the most donations since Cain announced his candidacy.

But wait..

The Associated Press reported today that another woman has come forward stating that she too was subjected to inappropriate behavior on the part of  Mr. Cain. The Republican presidential candidate told CNN that the new allegations against him were “baseless.” He then points out that there are people trying to “destroy” his campaign, and offered this comforting note: “there is a force at work here that is much greater than those that would try to destroy me and destroy this campaign. That force is called the voice of the people. That’s why we are doing as well as we are.”

If his past is any indication, we expect Herman Cain to magically remember details of this third woman’s claim too, and we expect his Republican base to dig deeper in their pockets and donate even more to his campaign.

Go Herman!

Herman Cain sexually harassment Wealth

Herman Cain Iz A Playa

Herman Cain must think he’s a Playa From The Himalaya! And if not a playa, then he’s definitely spreading the wealth around… his personal wealth that is, not talking about his finances.

POLITICO reports:

During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO.

The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.

Herman Cain – “Imma Leave A Dime For You To Eat At White Castle.”

What would cause a Republican presidential candidate to make such a statement? It is so… insensitive! Does Herman Cain think he is better than anyone? Or is this just the socialist in him peeking out from under its conservative shell.

We’re not sure, but whatever it is, it takes a little more than a dime to eat a White Castle!

Herman Cain’s Fake Campaign Raking In The Dough

In his effort to sell his book, Herman Cain did little campaigning in the third quarter of the year. But that little bit of campaigning was all his Republican Teaparty base needed. They dug into their pockets and sent their hard-earned cash to support Donald Trump Part 2. Cain is laughing all the way to the bank.

Suckers!

Cain, the brash former businessman whose candidacy was long considered a lark, had caught fire in recent weeks and has even opened a lead on GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney in some polls.

That buzz – and Cain’s much-hyped 9-9-9 tax plan – has spurred donors to open their wallets.

Cain says his campaign raised more than $3 million so far in October, topping the $2.8 million he totaled during the third fundraising quarter.

Thought Herman Cain’s Ads Couldn’t Get Any Crazier…

Think again!

I’m really beginning to understand the Republican’s game plan, and a fantastic one it is. Their plan is to get Mitt Romney to the nomination, and the only way they think that could be achieved, would be to bombard the media with nonsense. Herman Cain, and his entire so-called candidacy is the guinea pig. Get the media to focus all their attention on the joke that is Herman Cain, and let Mitt Romney skate untouched to the Republican nomination convention.

How else would you explain these foolish ads from the Cain campaign. Yesterday, we showed you an ad that is now viral, as the world laughs at the spectacle of what is now the American political system. In the ad, Herman Cain’s chief of staff Mark Block literally and figuratively blows smoke in our face. We can only wonder if Marlboro paid for the spot.

And now this. Another ad by the so-called Cain campaign called, “He Carried Yellow Flowers,” a western style commercial featuring movie star Nick Searcy. The ad starts out showing a man riding a horse, with the following words being displayed on the screen;

There was a time in America when a man was a man. And a horse was just a horse …  And a man on a horse was just a man on a horse … unless he carried yellow flowers.”

After smacking a black man identified as a liberal in the face, the flower carrying Nick Searcy steps out of character – or steps into character, take your pick – to advise all of us, why we should vote for Herman Cain.

We see you Romney, keep skating…

For All You Herman Cain Naysayers…

For those of you who think Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has no official campaigning platform or staff for that matter and that he’s running for President in 2012 purely for the fame and fortune such notoriety will bring him…think again.

With the assist of his  own campaign strategist and chief of staff,  Mark Block, Cain has concocted this creeeeeepy video in which a smarmy faced Block rants on about Cain’s  electability points ( also giving viewers a great view of his smoked stained teeth – now that’s a real American, y’know, like the Marlboro Man!)  And after the usual rhetoric of  …”we can take this country back!”, the camera then pans in close to  Mr. Block’s face where he takes a drag from a cigarette and blows a puff of smoke into the camera. The real clenceher  is at the end when the Man Of The Hour assures us with that knowing look and enigmatic smile, that he’s Herman Cain, and he approves of this message.

Herman Cain Does Not Know The Limits Of The Office He Seeks

Herman Cain has, on many occasions, showed an absolute lack of knowledge on how the government works. He knows nothing about the role of the three branches of government, and amazingly, this lack of knowledge is what draws Herman Cain to those who support his run to be the Republican nominee to challenge President Obama in 2012.

In an interview with David Brooks of the Christian Broadcasting Network, Herman Cain said that if a pro-life amendment to the Constitution comes before his desk as president, he will sign it. “That’s all I can do. I will sign it,” he said.

But can he? Alan Colmes makes this observation;

“Cain doesn’t seem to realize that presidents don’t sign constitutional amendments. And his comment that he was basically taken out of context on his varying statements on abortion shows he only wishes to ignore the part where he said families should be able to make their own decisions. It’s Cain, himself, by focusing on only one part of what he said, who is taking himself out of context.”

And with this new level of incompetence, Republicans fall even more in love with Cain’s candidacy.

Abortion CNN Herman Cain Rape Rick Santorum

Herman Cain – The Woman Should Have The Right To Choose Abortions

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain believes that life begins at conception. He is totally against abortions, no matter how the pregnancy happened. It could be rape or incest, it doesn’t matter. Herman Cain believes that abortion should never, ever be allowed.

Well, except if its his daughter or granddaughter who gets raped, then he believes the decision to get an abortion has to be made by the family and rape victim, and if she decides to get an abortion, well… so be it! That’s her decision.

In an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, Cain said, “I believe that life begins at conception. And abortion under no circumstances.” But when Morgan asked if it were his daughter who had gotten raped, Cain changed his no-abortion stance.

So what I’m saying is it ultimately gets down to a choice that family or that mother has to make.

Not me as president, not some politician, not a bureaucrat. It gets down to that family. And whatever they decide, they decide. I shouldn’t have to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive issue.

Herman Cain just justified the beliefs of pro-choice groups like Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL). But don’t just take my word on it, even Rick Santorum, another Republican candidate for president, who believes that a rape or incest victim must, not should, but must have the child, says;

“Herman Cain said that he believes life begins at conception, but that it’s up to the individual to decide whether or not to terminate that life, and I find it gravely troubling that Herman believes it’s a life, but that he doesn’t consider it a life worth fighting for.”

“You cannot be both personally against abortion while condoning it – you can’t have it both ways. We must defend the defenseless, period!”

Republican Leader Leaves Party Because Of Herman Cain

The Republican party is shedding their loyal members one by one. This time its Lauro Antonio Garza, the Republican leader of Somos Republicans, a Texas Republican group that caters to conservative Hispanics.

Mr. Garza sat back and listened to the recent claims by Herman Cain, that an electric fence along the border states would be the way to keep illegals out of the country. When asked about those irresponsible statements on this week’s Meet The Press, Cain said he was joking. No one in the Republican leadership however, had any problems with Cain’s careless remarks, and this silence from the Republican leadership was the last straw for Mr. Garza.

Below is his letter.

GOP leadership: Beyond Reprehensible

How much distance has been travelled since President George W. Bush left office? To us at Somos Republicans, the answer is, ‘Way too much!’ We fear that for most of the Republican Party, the answer is, ‘Not far enough!!’

Today, we find the Republican Party has strayed from its roots and its founding principals so far that they can no longer be seen. We saw this yesterday, in the glare of broad daylight, when a leading presidential candidate, Herman Cain, not once, but twice, advocated for the murder of innocent people and that was met with cheers! Somos Republicans, America’s largest organization of conservative Hispanics, was alone in its criticism of this loud mouth hateful bigot. He says he was ‘joking.’ Nobody here is laughing! The fact the GOP allows and applauds such outrageous thoughts is beyond reprehensible.

To us, the idea of allegedly ‘Pro-Life’ people shouting for the un-Constitutional use of deadly force is unbelievable. Then, too, we shouldn’t be surprised since Republican leaders have been advocating for the nullification of the American Constitution in states like Arizona, Georgia and now Alabama. When did Republicans, once synonymous with ‘conservative,’ become so liberal as to attack their very own Bill of Rights in the 4th and 14th Amendments?!

Where is Republican leadership? Where has the guiding principal of ‘Morality’ gone?! If the Republican Party cannot or will not rebuke this hateful bigot and others like him who wear the mantle of ‘Republican’ then perhaps the time has come for a rebuke of the Party itself!

Ronald Reagan left the Democrat Party saying they had left him. Perhaps, I shall do the same because the Republican Party has become radical and unreasonable. President Reagan must be tumbling in his grave!

Nine Nine Nine Means More More More

Herman Cain finally came to his senses today on Meet The Press and admitted that – yes, his 9 dollars and 99 cents plan would raise taxes on some individuals. “Some people will pay more. But most people will pay less,” Cain told David Gregory, when asked if the middle class would be paying more under his plan.

Herman Cain’s entire pizza and a soda tax plan depends on overhauling the entire Federal tax system. When asked how he planned to get that done in a politically divided Washington, Cain replied that “it can be done.” Gregory asked what was he basing his claims on, to which Cain replied that it’s based upon “the many speeches I’ve given.” He goes on to say that the American people will make it happen.

Yes people, Herman Cain can get anything done in Washington, based on the many speeches he’s given. If it wasn’t for Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, Herman Cain would be the dumbest person ever to run for President of the United States.

Apparently Cain thinks very little of the American people’s intellect. The dream world he’s living in has convinced him that middle class America would support a plan that would allow the government to dig even deeper into their already empty pockets.

Wake up Cain, you can get more if you dig in the pockets of the Koch brothers. But you wouldn’t do that, would you?
