Herman Cain Web Ad Puts Quirky, Smoking Staffer Front and Center

Cain is following the money trail. He does not have the fund he needs and thus he will associate himself where he hopes to find the money…Koch brothers and such. It is good to vet those one associates with. Wish we had veted Obama’s associations better

Koch brothers long time association with and donations from says it all. The Koch brothers are billionaires who want lower taxes for the very wealthy and less regulations for their industry to make higher profits at the expense of clean water and air.
Cain is sending some kind of weird message with the guy smoking in the ad.

Liberaian, what kind of weird message, Obam smokes himself. Nothing was said about that was it?But then again that would make one a racist radical. He needs to go and if anybody with a half brain would vote for that bunch again would have to be a idiot.

Herman Cain has the leadership and USA pazzazz! Love you, Mr. Cain! You Rock!

Libearian, and Obams long time association with Soros, Ayers, Wright, Axlerod, Emanuel, are all fine people.Obams boss has brought down a few countries, he is doing his best as we speak.

Martin Luther King would have been proud as conservative men embrace Herman Cain. Cain is black but conservative men judge him by the content of his beliefs and not his color. Romney is a fake and Cain is the real deal. Dump Romney and support Cain to save America!

I would think the liberals woud love this – they want smoking pot legal

You know….non-smokers have managed to get smoking banned everywhere possible except (so far) a smoker’s own house or car, or the great outdoors. Having done that, can they now leave smokers alone? They know the risks, the costs, the humility that will be heaped on them. Leave them alone! Let’s go after alcoholics. I know TONS more people whose lives have been impacted as a result of alcohol, than I do people whose lives have been impacted by tobacco.

Nice try ABC.

You folks in the Media just do not get it though.

Herman Cain has connected with the American People in a way you just do not understand.

Nothing in this article offends the Average American voter, except ABC’s assumption that we are as ignorant as assume.

Obama must be scared to death.

Obama, who smokes himself, must have thought he had both the smoker and the black voter locked up.

Cain now challenges both those assumptions.

Plus, Obama. and the Democrats, have been pushing hard to give the right to vote back to convicted felons. Obama can no longer count on 100% of the convicted felon, smoker and black vote. Life just is not fair to Obama. Call in the drones, it is Obama’s only chance.

You have to love Liberals.

The strongest economic growth in the United States in the last 50 years occurred during the eight years Supply Side economics was the policy of President Ronald Reagan.

Yet Liberals want to re-write history and pretend exactly the opposite was true.

If you want Liberals re-writing the history books your children read in school vote for Obama and the Democrats.

If you want jobs and a future for your children vote for a Ronald Reagan type conservative.

Will there be another article on the former lobbyist Obama just hired? You know, after he said during the 08 campaign that he wasn’t going anywhere near lobbyists?

Cain is going NOWHERE. Reagan IS one of the reasons that our economy is in the mess it is now because NOTHING ever trickled down and we now have the highest disparity between the VERY rich and the middle-class and poor that we’ve EVER seen in this nation except just before the Great Depression in 1929. Yes, those greedy republicans have brought us all of this INCLUDING this latest crowd of clowns running for the Presidency!! They ought to be embarrassed but I’m sure they THINK they’re doing just fine because half their base is full of 1 issue nutcases.

Obama ran up more debt in his first year as President Ronald Reagan did in 8 years.

Obama ran up more debt in his second year as President Ronald Reagan did in 8 years.

Obama is on track to run up more debt this year than President Ronald Reagain did in 8 years.

Obama threatened to cut off Seniors Social Security Checks if Congress did not vote to Allow Obama to run up more debt next year the Ronald Reagan did in 8 years.

Any Republican can beat Obama in 2012. The only question is who is the Best Man to replace Obama.

For those of you who THINK that any Republican could beat Obama, I say OK run with that – I hope we see Ms. Bachmann on the ticket and we’ll see how many votes she can lose by. Most of the GOP is a huge JOKE at this point and I do hope they can regain their senses and get back to where they ONCE were considered to be real statesmen/women who actually had the BEST intentions for our Nation when they made their decisions and votes!! Too bad they lost their way when gw was President but instead of coming back to some normalcy they got completely crazy with their strange issues most gravitating around greed and God.

If I ever thought Herman Cain had a chance, I know now that he is a joke and an idot. What a loser to represent him. What a stupid commercial. What is the point of this add and the smoking to boot? is there a point. Smoking is bad and stupid. Science proves it. it is for weak minded people. It is only for addcits who are addicted to nicotine and don;t have the will power to overcome their simple minds. My dad had to quit (or die, as his doctor told him), so what is the point here? This ad is pointless and it makes me think Cain is pointless. Cain, if I ever thought of supporting you, this ad has cleared up that doubt. You are obviously are an idiot who does not think through things, like 9-9-9. This ad has cleared up all doubt. Ron Paul is the only Republican that makes any sense whatsoever.

Oh yes, SERIOUSLY, I’m sure the credit all belongs to BUSH, lol. As Jon Stewart recently said, “and what about the Chinese, for inventing GUNPOWDER?” (without which Gaddafi couldn’t have been shot). ;)

Bush and his team had 8 YEARS to get bin Laden (both before and after 9/11). It only took Obama and his a few years to get it done (perhaps because the Bush administration’s view was “I don’t know or care where he is….we have some wars to start” and, according to Panetta, Obama came into office making bringing bin Laden to justice a top priority.)

And check out the graph of private sector job growth since Feb. 2007 (as published in the Wall Street Journal); a big V, the left, downward slope (Bush) in red and the right, upward slope in blue (Obama).

And REALITY CHECK, I think you need to study some actual history, rather than the re-written pap put out by folks like Beck, Gingrich, et al.

The strongest economic growth in the last 50 years occurred under CLINTON.

(Under REAGAN, the national debt tripled, reaching record levels, unemployment reached 10.8% (in ’82), the trade deficit skyrocketed, and the gap between rich and poor ballooned.)

And if you go back a ways, say to the 1920′s, you see the SAME policies on the Right leading to the SAME results: 12 yrs of Republican rule characterized by deregulation, rampant speculation, tax cuts for the rich and big business, union-busting, and reduced government spending/debt reduction followed by the collapse of the stock market and depression.

Enter the Democrats, who RE-regulated business and the financial sector, increased government/deficit spending (including on stimulus), instituted landmark social programs, passed large increases in the top marginal tax rate (from 25% to 63%, and by 1936, to 79%), and established the right of workers to unionize, setting the stage for recovery.

You know, my grandmother (1902-2002) wasn’t terribly political. I doubt she ever voted a day in her long life. She was a Baptist Sunday School teacher for 25 years, a divorced, working mother of 5, and a wonderful lady.

When I was 15 and Reagan was running for President the first time, she saw him on television and said, very forcefully, “If THAT MAN, is elected, I will tell you what will happen. The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer, and we will go to war.”

At the time, I was like “whatever, Granny”, but her words stuck with me, one, because it was the only time I saw her ever speak of politics and two, because she was RIGHT! How could she have known? Because she’d seen it all before, more than once, in her case.

Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.

.

Raven , sorry granny was wrong . We never went to war with Reagan. She might have been thinking of the idiot we have now that has wars going on every where. You think Obama cares about the middle class, ask Imelt, his jobs czar.What a joke on us all. Idiot.

Hey Raven , I was only 20 or so when Reagan took office , and I said the exact same thing way back then as your wise granny . Every non-partisan economist railed against the voodoo economics of Reagan and crew ; it was a band aid quick scam fix that made things better for a short time , like a dab of cheap grease to temporarily quiet a worn out squeaky bearing , but those conservative ideology bred quick fix chickens are coming home to roost now , particularly in light of the Bush era conservative bred war debts . Trickle down economics is a stupid idea that lets the rich get richer , obviously . I knew it then , but it took 30 years for (most) everyone else to figure it out . That’s America circa lately for ya…Doh !

You have to love Liberals,

When they do not have the facts on their side they know exactly what to do:

They lie.

Thus the following false claim by Liberal posting as the “The_Mick” :

“Reagan’s official debt: $1873B”

Which is just a flat lie.

The funny thing is, even if the Liberal was telling the truth, what he would be saying is that Obama’s debt in each of his years was more than President Reagan ran up in 7 years. :)

But thanks, “The Mick”,
for proving the point about Liberals and how you can not trust any thing they say.

Great ad. Look at all the publicity Cain is getting. Obama blows smoke every day, so it must be OK..lol

Reality Check, but Cain’s 999 plan would increase taxes for the poor and middle-class. Hard to get around that. And Cain’s plan to lessen regulation after all the problems we’ve had in the banking industry because of lax regulation sounds like a bad idea. Hard to sell that as a good idea. And basically that’s all he’s got because he appears to be getting his orders directly from the Koch brothers. And that has been their political wishes for years: less taxes for the wealthy and less regulation on polluters etc.

Reality Check | October 25, 2011, 1:26 pm post:

LOL! Wow, whoever is supplying you with your information should be flogged, then fired. The strongest economic growth in the last 50 years DID occur under Clinton. Your nonsense about his raising taxes doesn’t matter, we STILL had the strongest growth during his administration. And the president who grew government the MOST (besides Reagan, of course) was GW Bush. Between the Patriot Act and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, he grew the size and scope of our federal government more than any president in modern history. Reagan also achieved the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression during his years in office. Seriously, Reality Check, you need a better source for your information…………

I have heard those that say they are “Conservative” make statements that taxing tobacco is GREAT because its a nasty habit and it would make people quit smoking. Posted by: Samsdaughter | October 25, 2011, 2:46 pm.

LOL! Smoking isn’t just a “nasty habit”. It is a powerfully addictive poison that kills millions of people every year around the world. Nicotine is as addictive as cocaine and heroin. These are the only three drugs we know of where lab rats will consume them to the exclusion of food, and actually die of starvation in order to get their fix. It costs us billions every year in health care costs and lost worker productivity. If someone were to walk into the patent office today and offer this as a ‘wonderful new product’, they would be laughed out onto the street. It has ZERO socially redeeming qualities. None whatsoever. It serves no good or useful purpose at all, it costs a ridiculous amount of cash, and it frequently kills people. So by all means, Sam’s daughter, go ahead and defend it all you want. You are a dying breed. Someday we’ll wise up and outlaw this poison once and for all…………….

Wow, do you really hate President Obama that much ???

SeaRambler ask: “Why would he ( Obama ) be scared of Cain?”

So glad you ask, let me counts the ways:

1. Cain is genuinely liked by the American people in the same way President Ronald Reagan was genuinely liked by the American people. This is a Liberals worse nightmare. (Obama is genuinely liked as well. The only one having nightmares is you. Cain is still largely unknown to the majority of Americans. Just because he is the flavor of the week on the Right doesn’t mean mainstream America knows him, what he’s accomplished, what he stands for. But none of that matters. He still won’t get the good ol’ boys nomination).

2. Cain is a favorite of the Tea Party. If Cain is the nominee the lie that the Tea Party members are racists and extreme will be exposed for the lie it truly is. (LOL! No, it just means the racists within the Tea Baggers won’t win. Cain would not be their choice, but if he does get the nomination then all it means is they haven’t achieved a majority – yet. And he STILL won’t get the Republican nomination. And the Tea Baggers are STILL a small, fringe group of players who like to believe that they have more clout than they actually do).

3. Cain is beating Obama in head to head match ups in some polls. (Big frikkin’ deal. The election is still a year away. And he still won’t get the good ol’ boys nomination).

4. Cain is not well known, as he becomes known and liked by more Americans the margin by which he beats Obama will increase, unless the Democrats can smear Cain, before the American people get to know him. (Cain has nothing to offer but his likeableness. Yeah, good luck running on THAT platform. “Vote for Cain. He’s likeable!” Besides, he still won’t get the good ol’ boys nomination).

5. Democrats, and members of the Media, working to get Obama reelected, are already frantically launching personal attacks against Cain, this is proof positive that Cain is feared. (LOL! So, is this your first time in American politics? It must be, to write something as blatantly naive as this, Besides, Cain will never get the good ol’ boys nomination).

6. Obama’s approval rating is down to 41%, any Republican nominee who is well liked by the American will beat Obama, and Cains is liked across the political spectrum. (Wow, your arguments just get thinner and thinner, don’t they? “Well liked” doesn’t mean squat. His politics are terrible, they favor the rich over the rest of us, and he is an infant in things like foreign policy, immigration policy, national defense – ya know, the OTHER things needed by a president. Besides, the good ol’ boys will never choose him as their candidate).

7. Obama is on track to Triple the National Debt if he is re-elected and Cain has credibility when he says as a business man he can balance a budget. (No, he isn’t. And no, he doesn’t. And none of that matters. He still won’t get the good ol’ boys nomination for president. Ever).

By this time next year, everyone will be saying ‘Whatever happened to that pizza guy, something Cain? Didn’t he run for office once…?’

Its a shame he didn’t post video of Obama smoking..

Nice try guys! We have a President who smokes so what’s the big deal. Could it be that ABC is too liberal & is trying to destroy Mr. Cain. He rocks & many know it. Maybe it’s still possible to get a president elected without the media swaying the election!

Raven You know, my grandmother (1902-2002) wasn’t terribly political. I doubt she ever voted a day in her long life. She was a Baptist Sunday School teacher for 25 years, a divorced, working mother of 5, and a wonderful lady.+++There are ALOT of people on the internet that have the same grandmother as you…LOL..

The ad has nothing to do with smoking. His taking a puff is a poke at the system. He’s rebelling against the norm. You want to smoke? It’s not governments business. You want to eat sticks of butter? It’s not the governments business. The ad is showing that they are not big government. So obvious.

POSTED BY: MELISSA | OCTOBER 25, 2011, 8:07 PM 8:07**************And if you want to have an abortion…..It’s not the government business!!! That’s what CAIN said….and then he FLIP-FLOPPED!

Cain’s commercial shows that he’s good at marketing – he’s got everyone talking about him even more now, because of the ad.

Do I like this add and approve of smoking? No, but people often do things that are not good for them. According to reports, the President, himself, smokes. Another obvious example of doing things that aren’t good for you: individuals who tout “healthy eating” for others yet eat greasy food themselves (does anyone come to mind?). Life happens. I may vote for Herman Cain and the constant berating of him by the press has little influence on my opinion. I am rather tired of being told who can win the election as though the press were clairvoyant.
