Herman Cain is part of the Americans For Prosperity/Koch Industries/ALEC reach to direct and control our political system. The 9-9-9 idea is their idea.

The Republican/Tea Party (=corporations) have gone off the edge in a race to the bottom, and would like to see a full-blown Feudal system with no health care, no education, no social security, no environmental protections, no food stamps, no job creation, no bottom to minimum pay, no Medicare, no unions, nor voting rights, no women's healthcare, no collective bargaining, recourse to fight back.

Republican senators have filibustered Congress at 3 times the pace ever seen before in American history since Obama came in and will not allow any progress, even when recovering from the most catastrophic recession since the Great Depression. Their stated, open and bragged about number one# goal for 3 years has been to stop Obama's re-election, and they put that mission above job creation or growing the economy.

The House has made zero job creating proposals, but recently wasted our time on its 7th anti-abortion bill.

All 100% of senate Republicans voted against the President's American Jobs Act that is assessed to create 2 million jobs and lift up the GDP by 2%. Since they refuse to act on behalf of the American people, Obama is taking his AJA to the people in person around the country. Polls clearly show the majority of Americans want the provisions in the AJA passed, but the GOP is ignoring everybody.

Hence the Occupy Wall Street movement that has caught on around the world. Five hundred thousand protesting in Spain, also calling themselves 'the 99%'.

Republican governors have been cutting $Billions from eg. Education budgets, and openly shifting that $$$money to wealthy and big corporations. They refuse to allow 0.2% of the top 1% super-rich to contribute tax revenues, while demanding cuts to everything.

Republican senators are protecting their benefactors at any and all expense to ordinary people and to the future of our country.

Backhouse. I think when the country see's the real bill for the "Affordable Care Act" in a few years. you'll understand why Obama needs to be a one term (or less) president. It's not personal. We just need to stop encouraging more people to enter the welfare system in this country. Sooner or later the waivers will run out......

Someone correct if I'm wrong but is not a waiver granted when and only when the level of service offered meets or exceeds the standards in that bill?

Obviously these ads are so pitiful even an opponent couldn't do as much damage. Stephen Colbert's imitation of Cains "devilish" smile at the end of these ads is hilarious.

But the really interesting thing is how astronomically rich the Koch brothers are, yet these ads are so crappy. Either the Koch brothers are cheap and stingy with their money, or know it would be putting good money after bad. Based on their use of stock photos and stock video on there infinite websites, I suspect they are cheap and stingy.

Dont, No most of the waivers were granted so companies wouldn't have to comply with the added expense that bill imposed. Those waivers will be running out. Obama realizing that granting all these waivers was shedding a bad light on his signature bill decided to end granting any more waivers. It's a shame he didnt exercise his veto power when the bill landed on his desk in the first place. It will now be up to better leaders in Washington to fix the mess....

cool video....

So navy, one thing I have noticed about cain and romneyis that they haven't been afraid of putting forth a plan on addressing the concerns of Americans. Doesn't matter how workable the plan may be as congress still would have to approve it.

Kind of puts obamas campaign rhetoric of "hope and change" into proper perspective. American have seen little hope in obamas plans and little with respect to change. The AJA is nothing more than the 2009 stimulas all over and his passed legislation from 4th qtr 2010. To date the only economic bright spot has been todays release of 3rd qtr GDP being 2.5%.

Poor navy and the filibuster. Just more excuses by libs in not having policies that can be supported by both side.

All those bills passed by the house and sent to the senate for debate. Only reid doesn't want them brought up for debate. Interesting huh navy back? Looks like reid has formed his own version of the filibuster, just table it! lmao navy/back.

So navy/back when can we expect reid and the senate to debate or write an alternative to the houses FY2012 budget plan? Oct 1 has come and gone...what are the lefts lame excuses gonna be?

Feisty- Looks like you were the quickest on the draw yet again. Always first. Good for you.

I need to know though, do you hate everybody that isn't like you? Also, do you do know it is possible to comment on something without resorting to name calling?

Take a page out of the "Ron Paul Playbook". Talk about your ideas and why they are right. Don't bark about how his pizza is bad and and that Republicans are "nuts" & "dolts"... And why is it that you are always first?

Give it a rest! -- Unlike the right-wing trolls who post proliferate debunked talking points and insults here at FR, Feisty is not over at FAUX Noise, The Blaze, or what ever version of lies conservatives prefer. Get it? So if you don't like what Feisty and other progressives post here, you go elsewhere.

Oh, thats so cute. Coming to the maidens defense. And really "TruePatriot", calling people "trolls" is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not going anywhere so you should go elsewhere. I like MSNBC for the most part. Honestly they lie slightly less than FOX. I hate FOX. WTF is the BLAZE? I need to watch the BBC to get actual news from an unbiased source.

So to sum it up, Ron Paul's Revolution will be here. Get it?

Give it a rest! -- The term "troll" is a real term, not name-calling. Look it up. But now that you talk about FOX lying the most, not knowing what The Blaze is, and BBC being a credible source, I apologize to you. Many of Ron Paul's ideas are a part of the real revolution otherwise known as Occupy Wall Street -- It's just a more sane version of it. Hopefully you and other Ron Paul supporters will join OWS.

Trust me, there are Revolutionaries at OWS. I'm not a regular "Republican". I'm a Ron Paul Republican. We have more in common than you think.

Sorry. Ron Paul is unelectable. It is only the willfully naive that think his ideas are workable in the modern world governments.

There is no such thing as a "Ron Paul Republican". There are Ron Paul cultists.

newdayDAWNING: I remember about 3 years ago when people said a community organizer was "unelectable". I would describe myself as optimistic, not "willfully naive" or "cultish". I am based in reality. The REALITY is our national debt is unsustainable. Drastic changes are needed. This global charade cannot go on much longer.

Sorry, Give it: Paul is unelectable. How many times has he pretended to the Presidency? He offers no workable solutions, that is, unless you want to pretend that we are still protected from harm by the ocean.

We are protected by our nuclear arsenal. Nobody is invading us. We have no right getting in the business of every country in the world. Our interference in other nations business is why we are despised.

Sorry, Ron Paul's "ideas" are suited to a country that was...a long time ago. He is nothing but the John Birch Society redux, and for any American to support them defies credulity. He will never, and should never be President. If he didn't live in such an intellectually deficient district, he would not be in Washington at all. He is no electoral threat to either the Republican candidates or the President. Have you ever read about the "know nothings?" That is Ron Paul. I can't get over that grown ups, who should know better, support such a ridiculous little man.

Wait: nobody is invading us...really Give it? What was 9/11, a picnic? Are you kidding me? How does our nuclear arsenal protect us against that?

I'm sorry that you want to see our country fail. It really does make me sad that so many people would rather bury their heads in the sand than to face our problems head on. BTW, 9/11 was a terrorist attack not an invasion. I thought you were smart enough to know the difference.

4000 people died Give it: Does it comfort you to have a semantic debate? That is the type of invasion that we are going to have, which is why the ocean does not protect us. Paul is ignorant, and so are his minions. And I notice you didn't answer my question "how does our nuclear arsenal protect us from that kind of invasion." Care to take a swing at that? Or can't you, just like the rest of the Paul cultists and Paul himself?

We have to be involved in the world, regardless of what you and the cultists believe. You can't build a fence around the country. Even though some of the right wing nut jobs are going to try.

There is nothing that makes me more impatient then Paul cultists, I hate stupidity, and you folks take that to a level unheard of. This is simply the Birchers, the Know Nothings, the American Firsters raising their ugly heads again. Do try to read something about our history, particularly that of the Birchers. You will be appalled, that is, if you are smart enough to understand what that history is.

Nothing makes me more impatient than left wingers who think its OK to keep on giving handouts to the poor. You do realize that actual taxpayers such as myself can't afford to pay for our families and yours right? Liberals just don't get it. I just hate stupidity. Liberals want to continue to spend our nation into the abyss while claiming its for the "greater good". Every one in this country have the same opportunities. It's just that some people work hard, earn a good living and vote Republican. Others are lazy, government dependant leeches that vote Democrat.

You are right that we need to be involved in the world. I just think it needs to be through peaceful means and fair trade, not through bullying and aggression.

To answer your question about what our nuclear arsenal can do: If a terrorist manages an attack on our soil we could just wipe out the nation he/she is from. That will end terror attacks very quickly. How is that for an answer? OR we could just leave other countries to their own affairs and worry about our problems here at home.

Well, Give it: you have repeated every far right wing myth that is out there. What do you know of my income situation, and when did I suggest that handouts should be given to the indigent? Do you have moral outrage with helping the disabled, the war veteran,the elderly? Because if you do, that tells me more than I care to know about you. Now, getting back to fact, since you, like the other cultists seem to believe you know all, why don't you tell me what my taxable level is?

This absolute rot that "everyone has the same opportunity" is naive and willful ignorance. You want to tell me that a child abandoned by his parents, raised in foster homes, aged out at 18 years old with no further support has the same start as my four cherubs, with an intact family of means? Or how about the kid with oh say, Down Syndrome...they gonna be able to go make a million bucks a year? And no, I understand that the far right wing Republican like to believe that they are the only ones that work and prosper, but generally I find that these are the people that THINK if they vote Republican, they will magically be included in the mythical largess. And fact is, that they are the ones that the Republican Party takes advantage of.

As to your answer about the use of our nuclear arsenal to wipe out a country whose terrorists attack us...even George Bush, as patently uneducated and incurious as he was would never have suggested that. What do you think the result of that would be? What do you think that country's allies would do? You, sir or madam, have no business voting.

We are in a connected Global Village whether you and the Paul cultists can understand that or not. You are a fool if you think we can simply ignore that. But then, Paul cultists are fools.

Now, your assignment is to read about the Know Nothings, the Birchers and the American Firsters. This group pops up under one name or another every time there is an economic malaise.

are you suggesting the snowwhite and one of the seven dwarfs is the answer.....? i bet you a grand that obama wins if you will stay off the site...you're wastin space

UAW Pleeeeeeeease spewed said:

Hopefully the country has learned it's lesson on what it takes to govern.

Like the current 112th Congress? That's a shining example. Instead of leading by example, they just refuse to lead.

America cannot afford inaction. And right now the whole world is watching as the 112th "Do Noting" Congress allows America to slide into economic decline. Shining example you got there UAW. Really nifty.

bryanE - bet the koch bros are just loving all the shlt spewed out by the libs on liberal blogs like FR. All that toilet paper being used to wipe your mouths must have doubled their sales.

Nice to see that you believe, like obama, that it is congresses job to lead the country. Funny, I thought the executive branch had that job function? Silly me, I forgot that obama changed the job discription to 90% re-elction campaigning, 5% governing and 5% issuing executive orders because congress doesn't like his bills. Yepper, obama sure has changed the executive branch for the better of all Americans!

Bryan, I'm afraid gridlock is the best thing for the country right now. Were better off halting the bills coming out of the Obama White House right now. Blowing another $400 billion to appease AFSCME isnt going to help the economy. Let's get a better leader in the White House and use that money where it will do some good in the private sector in 2012. I'd rather see that money go to a similar program like TARP that was paid back with interest. (of course we can't loan it to the Soylent Green's of the country)

We are not laughing with you, Feisty, we are laughing at you.

That's strange booby - I was thinking the very same thing about you!

You NEVER fail to disappoint us...

XOXO

Your adoring moonbat!

They are getting more desperate by the day, Feisty.

They are getting more desperate by the day, Feisty.

You got to admit - it is fun to watch them self-destruct... lol

Yes--they are getting more desperate--one can tell by the uptick in personal attacks. Nothing of substance to say, so attack! Somebody's knickers are certainly in a knot--must be hitting home!

"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly

dont you love it i can feel them sweating

The only person Obama has to fear is Ron Paul. He can and will take away votes from the Demacratic Party.

Bob Numbers asks: "Who says the GOP is boring?"

Well. . . lots of us do.

Many years ago a wise man said to me: "Only serious people have a sense of humor; people who take themselves seriously do not."

He's right. Want proof? If you wanted to have a fun night on the town, would you rather go with Fiesty, Anna Molly and Amy? Or Leona, Smiff and no jo?

I rest my case.

Hey, I wanna go with Feisty and crew! Sounds like a good night, care to join us Jack?

You bet. I'll take lightheartedness over dourness any day.

I'm with you on that Jack!

Good point Scott.

No, But, he could be a viable Vice-president for those who vote based on race. He's got good credentials and would be a good role model for minorities who think their only job options are EEOC government jobs. I'd like to see him have a role in Conservative/Republican politics.....

dude you know vice president moves up if something happens to the president....wow and to think after the possiblity of palin being next in line you want cain..... all i can say is pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease no.

As soon as he does something worthwhile. He wants to spend another half a trillion dollars on another stimulus called the Jobs Bill. Really? Oh wait, how about the help fo Student Loans... did you hear, it will save between $4 and $7 per month.

Steeler-fan you are right. I have read a post that says leave the fact that HC was a Pizza CEO out it is not important, but it is. It is why he is in the running. I like H Cain, but I also liked Obama.

I think after all this time we can let go of the Community Organizer comment too.

steeler fan- it can't be left behind because though he is our elected president, he still acts and thinks like a community organizer, not a leader

Only in the heads of the very small minded, Larry.

no-it's in the minds of those who love liberty and our Constitution that we find him incompetent and dangerous

Why on earth do these tea party freaks think that only a republican can love liberty and freedom. I think it's a safe bet to say pretty much every American loves liberty and freedom. They also come up with slogans like "we want OUR country back" or the "real America". You people are bent in the head. The tea party went from people concerned about the debt to over-the-top GOP loonies(thanks Koch Brothers). By all means keep alienating people. It will speed up your path top irrelevance. You want incompetent and dangerous just take a look at any of the GOP candidates. I wouldn't vote for any of those idiots to be a dog catcher, let alone the leader of the free world.

I suppose you found Bush even crazier and more dangerous Larry, given how he trashed both the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions? Or don't you know about those documents?
