Herman Cain watch: sometime this morning Cain is supposed to make the Left incredibly angry talking about “opportunity zones” the Unions are terrified of
Keep your eyes open.
Sometime this morning Herman Cain is supposed to speak on the “opportunity zones” he’d create as President in distressed urban areas where he’d essentially banish all Unions to provide businesses an opportunity to return to cities that Democrat mismanagement has blighted for the last forty years.
I believe this speech will be happening in Detroit.
I also believe the greatest gift Herman Cain brings to the 2012 table is his ability to force Republicans to talk about new approaches to old problems that the Cocktail Party GOP establishment would never in a million years debate about without Cain’s prompting.
Since the President does not create legislation — Congress does — there’s no real chance that Cain’s 9-9-9 plan would ever be implemented as he’s envisioned it on the campaign trail. I don’t think Cain believes he’d ever be able to thrust 9-9-9 through Congress, because that’s just not how these things work.
What I like about Cain’s vision and his boldness is that absent Cain in this race, Republicans would not be discussing the lugubrious and ridiculous tax code that’s hamstringing this country.
Without Cain, Republicans would not be openly talking about taking on the Unions directly and annihilating the Democrat power structures, in place for decades, that have crippled our major cities.
If Mittens Romneycare is your chosen candidate, you really need to ask yourself on a serious and personal level if you think Mittens would ever do anything bold or in the face of established convention if he was elected in 2012.
The biggest reason I can never support Mittens Romneycare is because I know, as the Cocktail Party establishment’s chosen candidate, that Mittens will maintain the very same status quo that allowed the Left to seize power in 2008 and that has almost completely bankrupted this country.
Cain really aims high with his ideas and is fearless in putting bold new concepts out there.
The fact the Unions despise him and are mobilizing against him warrants Cain greater and greater admiration in my eyes every day.
Meanwhile, the Left, the media, the Unions, and the Cocktail Party GOP establishment all want you to believe that Mittens Romneycare is “the inevitable 2012 GOP nominee”…aka, “John McCain 2.0″, since McCain was the Left and the Cocktail Party establishment’s combined 2008 favorite as well.
I have zero faith Mittens Romneycare would do anything in office to shake things up or turn this country around.
But, I believe Herman Cain has this fire and unconventional leadership within him.
He’s not perfect — and has never claimed to be (unlike Obama, or the “Obama-Lite” that is Mittens) — but anyone who drives the Left as nuts as he does deserves a good, considered look from anyone who wants to really clobber the Left, the Unions, the media, the Democrats, and the Cocktail Party establishment Republicans in equal measure.

I actually got my mom to write a letter and it enclose it in response to an Republican Party survey that told them to quit wasting money on mailings and Mittens, and instead back the candidate that best represents the RNC platform and not the person they think whose turn it is.
I'm sure they either won't listen, or they will rationalize to say Mittens does represent the platform, but still, I'm proud of my mom for listening and acting. Go Mom!
Hey I filled out that survey & wrote the same thing! I hopt they get the message!!!
I am one of the Artists supporting Herman Cain on the Face Book page 'Artists Raising Cain'
Check it out, more & more people are waking up to Raising some Cain & my hopes are now with Herman. I think Sarah may endorse him as it gets closer as well!
Go Herman!
I'm inspired now to write my own letter to the RNC!
Please don't send a single penny to the Republican National Committee, but do send money directly to the candidate you support. If donors stopped supporting the sycophants that run the national Republican organization then maybe they would start supporting candidates who can win rather than candidates that support the status quo. To put it more bluntly, don't feed the trolls.
When I sent my form in I said I could not donate to the RNC since all my money was going directly to candidate Herman Cain…that was fun!
I tell them I only give to proven CONSERVATIVES, not RINOS. And that is the truth.
Well, Alan West is the only GOP candidate I've ever given $ to, so I'm not on any RNC mailing list, but if they sent anything to me pushing fake-!@# Romney, I'd pull the old tape a brick to the return envelope and send it back to em.
I love how you think.
Allen West should be the one there and not that clown liberal Cain.
I will say this for Herman Cain – he is one of the few people running for president that the more I hear from him, the more I like. Whenever anyone else talks – whether in debates or on the campaign trail or in interviews – I cringe and pray that they'll shut up soon. Not Cain. He never wastes an opportunity to outline his plans and he is honest about what he'd do as president and he's so refreshing to listen to (especially after the little temper tantrums Perry and Mittens throw at each other. Dear heaven – will those two finally put a sock in it?) Herman Cain knows what he's talking about and if he gets asked a question he doesn't know much about, he'll find someone who does and educate himself.
I was not against Romney (tho not for him) in the beginning. Each day he ticks me off more. He likes Green and Global Warming. He won't cancel Obamacare. He is so wishywashy. He has no pizzazz. He has attacked Rick Perry. He has attacked Herman Cain. He has not, that I've heard, attacked Barrack Obama who absolutely deserves to be attacked. He is a Rino. Every day it gets worse. NO to Romney.
Cain should bring up the fact that unons are racist. When the Philadelphia Convention Center was expanded only union works were permotted to do the works. The carpentors union is about 16% black but Philly's black population is closer to 50%. Many shilled African American laborers and carpentors could have had an opportunity to work on the Philly Convention Cneter but the Unions had to bring in their carpty bagger, who are over 80% white.
I haven't made up my mind which candidate I prefer. Starting out, I like Bachmann. She was portrayed as having "jumped the shark" re the Texas vaccine issue. I am not sure how much shark she actually jumped because I think the media wanted to play up her retelling of a story a woman told her.
I like Cain. I like his message. I like that he came from nothing and, with God's help and his own hard work, made something of himself.
Romney is quite polished, which makes me suspicious. Is this guy for real? I've seen polished before and it isn't always real–once in a while it is, though. What really gets me about Romney is more or less what Kevin is saying: I don't trust him to reverse Obama, especially Obamacare. So my concerns really aren't about his appearance. It is about his substance.
Thank you, Kevin, for writing. I always enjoy your perspective. God gave you a great talent!
Kevin,
Hope your doing well. Have some personal stuff I'm going through as well. God bless you. Love what you do and what you say. Chin up Kevin.
