"I don't have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration. Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself! ... It is not a person's fault if they succeeded, it is a person's fault if they failed."

"I am a Troo-BeeLeeving RepubliWanker, and we don't need no steenkin facts to make wild-ass accusations. You Americans should have learned that about us RepubliWankers long ago. Sneer."

7. To be fair, Cain's pizzas really don't taste like leather...

Soggy cardboard comes to mine, and we know how sturdy that stuff is!

[JaneQPublic]

11. "They can't afford bread? Let them eat Pizza."

...to paraphrase Herman "Marie Antionette" Cain.

17. this from the guy who thought Tiger Woods would make a good President

[phantom power]

2. Yes, and also: eat cake!

:eyes:

[Proud Public Servant]

3. Please God

Let him be the GOP nominee. Re-election will be won on that soundbite alone.

[HughBeaumont]

10. Even if Mittens is the nominee . . .

. . . he's feeding us pro-1%er material almost weekly.

Amazing how almost the entire Republican Clown Car is THIS out of touch.

[Critters2]

4. Do these assholes not realize that poor people can vote?

At least for the time being.

[AndyTiedye]

15. They Are Working On That Little Problem

There is legislation designed to make it harder for poor people to vote either pending or recently passed
in almost every state that the Repigs control. They control a majority of the state governments now.

They have been enacting new voter ID requirements and making Democratic voters drive long distances to get the new IDs.
They will likely be purging voting rolls, as they do in Florida, so that millions of already-registered voters may find
they are not allowed to vote on Election day. They will be stealing votes as well.

19. They are pulling the same shit in NC too. God I hate them. nt.

[fascisthunter]

5. and if you don't have a brain, everyone is just like you

[Dawson Leery]

6. Cain ties with Bachman for the most asinine statements.

[gratuitous]

8. Sorry Herman, I didn't come equipped with the sociopath gene

Having too much in a land of plenty where resources are so poorly allocated would cause me a great deal more discomfort than it does for you. I suppose if I had the larcenous heart of a banker or a business executive, I too could be economically wealthy beyond measure and not give a fig about others. But I'm just not built that way, and I've never counted it as wisdom worth acquiring. You clearly chose differently, and for that millions must starve. Very sagacious.

[hifiguy]

9. More "stoopid" or more "out of touch with reality"?

Hard to say really. That he is an asshat is plain to see.

[OHdem10]

12. Well he is a Republican for sure and is not hiding anything.

[DainBramaged]

13. Herman Cain, kiss my ass in Macy's window douche bag.

dumbass, what a disgrace.

[onethatcares]

14. I read his freaking biography and his 9-9-9 plan

and he's been very fortunate in this life, not many of us get to work for a company that will pay us enough to buy a part of it.

As far as his 999 plan, it makes no sense. It's like a bunch of sound bites thrown together without any substance. I guess he'll flesh it out later.

He's the flavor of the day for the teaparty but they don't realize that to run government like a business in order to make a profit, someone has to pay.

and you can bet your ass it ain't gonna be the 1%ers.

[Shandris]

16. But Herman, no one would work at your shitty restaurant...

...and then YOU would not be rich and have a job.

HOW FUCKING DUMB CAN ONE SET OF HUMAN BEINGS BE?!?

[applegrove]

18. The GOP have been trying to undo the big empathy for the poor that grew

out of the great depression. Americans still had it during Katrina.

[wellst0nev0ter]

20. He Puts The "Ass" In "Classy" (n/t)

on edit:

also, too, I guess it's the fault of all those people who lost their jobs when Cain closed those Godfather pizza stores in the 80's, right? :grr:

[WinkyDink]

21. How cruel. How insane. How.....Republican.

[Mz Pip]

22. That's a nothing statement.

Can he be anymore lame? Just trot out some soundbite that explains it all and sit back and act like you've just solved the mystery of gravity.

If this is how he views the mess we are in he is a sorry, little man for sure.

[JoeyT]

23. Dear Herman Cain:

We can't all be salve for conservative conscience. What a wonderful world it would be if we could all get rich running around assuring right wingers that they're not racist. Sadly, we cannot. So we leave that position to you, since you've proven yourself so adept at it. Well, there were a few missteps. You shouldn't remind them using racial slurs is racist, too many of them do it.

So enjoy your job, and remember what an innovator you are in your field of patting fat old white guys on the hand and assuring them that Democrats are the real racists for not hating minorities. While you're at it, fuck off and leave the politics to those of us that do have the facts. And take Rick Perry with you, just because.

[Tom Ripley]

24. "I don't have facts to back this up" are the only honest words ever vomited up by that fool

[Kievan Rus]

25. This will sink Cain's campaign

Herman Cain: the latest GOP Presidential candidate to sink his or her campaign by opening his or her mouth and saying something stupid. You thought he would have learned after what Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry said.
