 Who Is Herman Cain? And Why Is He Running For President?

Rachel Maddow gave voice to something I have been thinking for months about Herman Cain's run for President.
On Maddow's show last night she stated, Cain don't have political organizations in none of the main primary states.
None, no offices, no boots on the ground. No phone numbers, no signs, cards, bumper stickers, nothing. The media have really, really given Cain a pass. Or not paying him any attention at all thinking he have no chance of winning the Republican Primary. They better think again. His poll numbers are rising. He don't care if he answers off the cuff, anything stupid to serious questions on the economy, foreign policy, or social issues. People are laughing, as they laugh, his poll numbers keep rising.

Which lead me to believe as do Maddow, something fishy is going on with him. Who is backing this man? Why don't he have
political machines in the states that are needed to win those states? Why no whole political presidential team?

Edited 10-27-2011 to add this article which may explain some things. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/27/us/politics/as-cain-touts-management-skills-ex-aides-tell-of-chaos.html?_r=2&ref=politics 

I said the man was just on a book tour, and thought he could sell more books and maybe get a Fox TV gig if he got more name exposure. So he is a gimmick, using the American peoples fears to promote himself. Because really 999 is a gimmick period.
999 will NEVER become law in the United States. And the neocons within the Republican Party have helped to promote this fool.
Yes fool, an educated fool. With no common sense. Or political sense. There is a difference. President Obama got it right when he called some people within the Republican Party carnival barkers.Cain is proving President Obama's point.

Who and what is behind Herman Cain? He have hired a bunch of the Koch Brothers former employee's to his staff. He have Koch's as donors. I put NOTHING pass those guys.
I wonder if he is a plant to shake up the Republican Primary race? See he isn't supposed to win, he is supposed to create just enough
attention that would take the attention off the main characters running so the race can be manipulated for a Tea Party candidate. Remember the Tea Party faction of the Republican Party said they would run a candidate for President and win.

Republicans know the economy is going to be the main platform for the 2012 elections. The Tea Party is telling businesses NOT to hire anyone until after the elections in November 2012. What the hell? 
They are banking on the American people voting for Republicans in the wake of the unemployment stats being high. Republican Governors are laying off 1000's of people on purpose to help keep unemployment stats high in their states.  This is why the Republicans in congress won't pass the American Jobs Act. They know it would put 2 million people back to work or help them keep their jobs. That put a cramp in their plan.

The other Republicans that are running for President in the clown car is not getting much or any attention, because the crazy always win with the media. Make for a more exciting story. This says something about the US Media.

Media need to start digging deep into Cain's backround and banking, personal and presidential primary accounts. And where is Cain's family? And friends? Why no scrutiny of them? He is the front runner so far in the Republican Presidential race. What family don't campaign with their husband or father for President? Why is his wife or children NOT out there campaigning with him? All the other wives  and family members are front and center. Media do your job. I smell a rat. A big one.
Don't wait until this Cain fruitcake win the Republican nomination.

I'm editing to add this link. 2 women accuse Herman Cain of inappropriate behavior.  http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/67194.html
Ok so Cain is up in all Republican polls nationwide. So the Republican Party is running scared now. I wonder how much more dirt they can find. He is only supposed to be a place holder for Romney. Not win. Cain is supposed to go on his merry way selling his books, and talking trash, no one is supposed to take his seriously.
Yeah right.  And so it finally begins.

Calling All Democratic And Obama Surrogates

The Obama Administration Cabinet

Calling All Democratic And Obama Surrogates

Yes some good message Democratic surrogates to run with the Democratic achievements in a exciting message way that the average person/voter can understand. Where are they? And why aren't they speaking out on behalf of all the great things the Democrats have done for our country?

Realize, it ain't over until it's over.  Poll numbers change, Democratic candidates change with the circumstances. As they should. 

Democrats, Democratic Congressmen/women, Senators and their surrogates should be in front of every TV camera or radio mike waving a copy of the American Jobs Act talking about all the provisions in it that can positively affect the unemployed and small businesses in America.
Send out mailers to all the constituents in their districts letting them know what is in the bill,and how they can go about fighting to get it passed. Use wording that regular people can relate to. No congressional speak.

The time to mobilize the voters is now. Why you have a good cause to fight for. A good cause that 70% of America is already for. Work it, package it and promote the American Jobs Act. Simplify it, so a 4th grader can understand the bill, and why it's important to vote Democratic in 2012. Motivate the US people to give them the choice. The only choice for their future is the Democratic Party putting America back together after the Republicans have destroyed it.

If Democrats get off their duff and do this they are sure to win in 2012, the Presidency, Senate and the House. People want jobs, and it's us to us to give them the correct information. Remember a lot of people only get their news from evening news. That is only 3 minutes or less. Many unemployed can't afford cable to follow news like I and other newshounds do. 

So it's up to OFA and Democrats to get the correct word out at all costs.

The Whitehouse should be careful giving Romney to much credit regarding the Affordable Care Act.

The Whitehouse should be careful giving Romney

to much credit regarding the Affordable Care Act. 

The Whitehouse should be careful giving Romney to much credit regarding the Affordable Care Act. If by chance Romney wins the nomination, he can switch it up, as he normally is two faced on these matters. And try to take credit for passing the bill. Which would try to take away one of President Obama's signature achievements.   http://www.whichmitt.com/which-mitt 

You know Republicans are better at messaging than Democrats. They will try to make the entire bill in Romney's favor.
I want the Democratic Party to hire some expert messengers. Hire some people to get on all the blogs and sites to refute the lies Republicans are putting out there. It's essential and urgent. The election is 1 year away. We have to get the poll numbers up for President Obama and the Democratic Party. And you can't wait until 6 months into the election. Because peoples minds will be made up by then.

Every day we Democrats have to pound to the public all the good the Democrats did in the first two years before Republicans took over the House. Go to whitehouse.gov and go down the list of achievements and point out 2  achievements a day to pound the public's ears. The Democrats need to also check out the achievements that relate to their districts and states and pound them home daily.  http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/signed-legislation

Stop staying silent on all the good the Democratic Party have done the first 2 years of President Obama's Administration. Explain to the public, how if Democrats still had the House and majorities in the Senate the economy would be more than stable by now. Explain to the public how the 3.2 million jobs that are available Republicans are holding hostage the bills that are designed to help fill these jobs. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/jolts.pdf

http://www.cnbc.com/id/44838614

Slam Republicans for all of their obstruction, responsibility for getting the United States credit rating downgraded by holding hostage the debt limit debate. To try to win the next election instead of helping to make America great. Also moving America forward.
Results of an Ipsos/Reuters survey released  found that 42 percent of Americans held a negative opinion of the tea party movement after the debt limit deal was reached, with 49 percent saying they had a negative view of Republicans.

Democrats and Democratic leaning Independents get off your asses and work to win this next election. America need you.  And we need President Obama to finish what he started.

Republicans Pass This Jobs Bill ,The American Jobs Act

President Obama need to have some unemployment townhalls with only unemployed people.A few thousand people in of them. And put some employers with him to answer some questions. Let the unemployed in America tell the Republican Party to Pass This Bill.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/jobsact#overview

Get a whole group of construction workers in a townhall, a few hundred to tell their stories, then let the Republican Party turn them down. Let the construction workers tell the Republicans to Pass This Bill.

Optics is everything. Let America see first hand how obstructionist the Republican Party really is. Seeing is believing. Do the same townhalls with the teachers, policemen, firefighters. And small business owners who need loans and tax cuts.

The economy won't recover until people are working,and buying things to create demand. If people have no money,they won't purchase anything, so therefore the economy stay stagnant. Jobs, period.

Democrats need to run on NO Jobs Bills from the Republican congress and Republicans wanting to privatize everything, from Social Security, Medicare/Medicade to EPA, schools and roads and bridges where Republicans want you to pay a toll in some states to cross a bridge. And Republicans stripping peoples right to vote.

Democrats was stupid to fall into the Republican trap of breaking up ACORN organization. This is partly why they lost the midterms. ACORN organization was very instrumental in helping Democrats get out the vote. Democrats scared of any possible scandal, run to help Republicans defund ACORN. Without waiting to see if any of the accusations was true. Which in the end they wasn't true ACORN was innocent. And Dem's looked stupid. Republicans got what they wanted. One of the Democrats best organizational tools out of the way.
Democrats show some backbone, and help President Obama Pass This Jobs Bill. Get in front of every TV camera, or radio mike and push the American Jobs Act. President Obama can't do it all by himself. Talk to all the constituents that don't have jobs and tell them to call congress. Unemployed constituents have the most to lose if this bill don't get passed. They need to get up and help to. Flood the streets and airways, that's what its going to take to make the Republicans pay attention.

We must impeach the Republican party in 2012.

I've wrote about this before, but I am sure I will be writing about it again and again for the next 11 months.
We must impeach the Republican party in 2012. They are the party of NO. No jobs for the American people. No legislation passed to even try to attempt to create jobs. They lie daily to the American people. About anything and everything. They took an oath to uphold the Constitution not Grover Norquest. And the Republicans hail to him daily by not looking out for the American people by catering to Norquest no tax pledge.

They are destroying America on purpose to win seats in congress, and the Presidency. Americans we have to stop them. Stop them cold at the ballot box. Americans all of these made up controversies Republicans are trying to make up about the Obama Administration is so they can distract from what the Statehouses are doing to the American dream. Striping peoples voting rights. Striping Planned Parenthood programs for poor women and children. Trying to strip the EPA, of our clean drinking water and air. They are trying to strip people of basic human rights. Gays etc....

We need this passed.

American Jobs Act

"The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: to put more people back to work and more money in the pockets of those who are working." —President Barack Obama, September 8, 2011

http://www.whitehouse.gov/jobsact#overview 

Here are some reasons to vote Democratic in 2012.

All Gay, Lesbian and Transgender 

  Keep Don't Ask Don't Tell on the law books. Republicans will repeal the law and you will be back where you started. Here are the actions President Obama's Administration have worked to secure for Rights of Gay and Lesbian & Transgender citizens.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/search/site/gays

Women's Rights

Right to work and get paid the same as a man doing the same job.
The rights of women American Jobs Act- 
Tax Cuts to Help Women-Owned Small Businesses Hire and Grow
Cutting Payroll Taxes in Half for Over 900,000 Women-Owned Small Businesses
Preventing Teacher Layoffs and Putting Workers Back on the Job.
Pathways Back to Work for Women Looking for Jobs.
And More:  http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/women_factsheet_jobs.pdf 
  http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/cwg

President Obama and his Administration have been a great supporter of our  

Military Service Members issues.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/veterans

Civil Rights

President Obama recognizes that our civil rights laws and principles are at the core of our nation.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/civil-rights

I could go on and on, you can check out all of these issues at the Whitehouse website,

http://www.whitehouse.gov/

I want everyone in America to educate themselves about what is at stake this coming 2012 election.
If Republicans are in power, there may be some vacancies on the Supreme Court. Do anyone want more laws passed like Corporations are people? So they can spend unlimited money in American elections. In other words the people with the most money can buy our elections.  No we don't. President Obama would choose good judges who are fair to all of America. Not just the rich and powerful, and the little people get left out.
Republicans would have us living in a 3rd world country. Where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
We must top them. Educate your neighbors, families and friends. Get people to the DMV and get proper ID's to vote. Lets prove Republicans wrong that think their money can buy power. Or think the little peoples voices won't be heard at the ballot box.
