Thread: Herman Cain alarming as the mark of the Beast in Revelations

I just can’t understand our religious folk who support Herman Cain who was an insider at the federal reserve which has been plundering our nation for generations. Do they not recall that even Jesus went after the moneychangers? Do these religious voters not know that our founding fathers dreaded allowing our government a power to emit bills on the credit of the United States? That one of the delegates to the Convention went as far as saying to allow our federal government to emit bills of credit, which is what Federal Reserve Notes are, would be as alarming as the mark of the Best in Revelations?


Our founding fathers were well away of the historical thievery which takes place when notes of any kind are made a LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. And that is why they intentionally voted to forbid any notes being made a legal tender which, if allowed, would force businesses and individuals to accept them in payment of debt, even if they were not “safe and properâ€

Herman Cain actually defends the Federal Reserve and says it doesn't need audited.

"But also said he wouldn't object to it either!"

Herman Cain doesn't want to audit the Fed because he once sat on the Board of Directors of the Fed. They have him in their back pocket.

Now he is flip flopping on his stand against raising the debt ceiling. I don't trust him a whit!

Herman Cain Touts Outside Status Despite Numerous Financial Ties to Politicians

HermanCainPic.jpgBusinessman and conservative radio host Herman Cain argued his outsider status was one of his strongest assets during the first Republican presidential debate of the 2012 election cycle Thursday night in South Carolina.

But while Cain has never occupied elected office, he is no stranger to Washington's world of money in politics.

A former chairman of Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and senior adviser to the 1996 presidential campaign of Republicans Bob Dole and Jack Kemp, Cain has regularly opened his wallet for political allies, and he even operates his own political action committee, called the Hermanator PAC.

Since the 1990 election cycle, Cain, along with his wife, Gloria, has donated $134,100 to federal candidates, parties and committees, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics, including $25,600 during the 2010 election cycle.

All of Cain's donations during the 2010 midterm election cycle benefited Republicans and conservative groups. And during the past two decades, 70 percent of Cain's money has aided Republican candidates and committees, according to the Center's research.

Only 2 percent of Cain's donations have benefited Democrats. These donations -- which totaled $3,000 -- all came during the 1990s and mainly benefited Nebraska Democrats such as Ben Nelson, Bob Kerrey and Peter Hoagland. During this period, Cain lived in Omaha and was the chief executive officer of Godfather's Pizza.

The rest of Cain's donations -- about 27 percent -- flowed to the coffers of the political action committee of the National Restaurant Association, which Cain also headed during part of the 1990s.

According to the Center's research, Cain has donated to 52 candidates and eight political committees over the past two decades.

The top beneficiaries of Cain's financial largess over the years include:

the National Restaurant Association's PAC ($36,500),
the National Republican Congressional Committee ($5,000),
former Rep. Jack Kemp of New York ($5,000),
Rep. Tom Graves of Georgia, who was elected to office last year ($4,400)
and former President George W. Bush ($4,000)

Some other notable beneficiaries of Cain's cash during the 2010 election cycle include Scott Brown, who unexpectedly prevailed during a U.S. Senate special election in Massachusetts in January 2010; former Club for Growth President Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in November; and Danny Tarkanian, who lost a Republican U.S. Senate primary in Nevada to Tea Party darling Sharron Angle.

CAIN AND THE RESTAURANT LOBBY

National-Restaurant-Association.jpgCain first joined the board of directors of the National Restaurant Association in 1988.

It was in this leadership role that Cain notably challenged then-President Bill Clinton about Clinton's proposed health care reforms at a town meeting in Kansas City, Mo., in 1993.

For its part, the National Restaurant Association's PAC has long favored Republican candidates with its giving.

During the 1996 election cycle, for instance, when Cain was elevated to serve as the group's president and chief executive officer, the National Restaurant Association PAC donated about $780,000 to Republicans and about $100,000 to Democrats.

Cain’s presidency at the National Restaurant Association lasted until 1999. At that time, the National Restaurant Association was spending about $900,000 per year on federal lobbying, according to the Center's research.

THE HERMANATOR'S STOCK ON THE RISE?

During the 2010 election cycle, Cain launched a PAC of his own -- called the Hermanator PAC.

The Hermanator PAC raised $221,950 during the 2010 election cycle.

Many of the PAC's top donors are among Cain's business world connections, including executives at Hallmark Cards and Whirlpool, on whose boards of directors Cain serves. Notably, in December, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair and his wife, Janice, also each donated the legal maximum of $5,000 to the Hermanator PAC.

The Hermanator PAC donated just $2,000 to federal candidates during the 2010 election cycle -- $1,000 a piece to Republican congressional candidates Daniel Benishek of Michigan and Brad Zaun of Iowa. Benishek prevailed on Election Day in November in an open seat race to replace retiring Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), while Zaun failed in his challenge to unseat Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-Iowa).

Until declaring his 2012 presidential aspirations, Cain hosted a radio talk show in Atlanta.

In 2004, Cain ran an unsuccessful campaign in the GOP primary for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia. During that campaign, he raised about $3 million, including $75,000 of his personal funds that he invested in his bid.

Cain recently told TIME that he would again rely on some self-financing for his presidential campaign. "I will put some of my own money in," he told the news magazine. "But it will not be in the millions, because I don’t have millions to put in."

Cain was heralded as the winner of the Thursday's debate by a focus group led by GOP pollster Frank Luntz for Fox News, one of the sponsors of the debate. The event also featured former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.

When asked during the debate about his inexperience in elected office, Cain retorted, "Everyone in Washington has held public office before. How's that working out for you?"

That line drew applause, as did barbs he directed at President Barack Obama.

At one point in the evening, Cain questioned Obama's White House tenure, despite Obama's recent success in tracking down -- and killing -- terrorist Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and leader of al-Qaida.

"One right decision does not a great president make," Cain said.

Well looks like the Democrats won't have to lift a finger, they'll just watch us beat ourselves!

On Koch Supported Herman Cain



I've noticed that Herman Cain, who is already an announced candidate for president, seems to have a close association with the Koch brothers. He attended the recent Koch conference in Rancho Mirage and he has been a speaker at the Koch-funded rightonline.

I have seen clips of him speak, but never anything of substance. He sure can deliver a speech though (see below). So I was excited to see that he was going to appear on Eliot Spitzer's CNN show last night. True to form he gave one hell of a performance. Lot's of talk about cutting government down to size (all generalities though), and he threw out the fact that he was a former exec at Pillsbury and CEO of Godfather's Pizza for 10 years. But then Spitzer zeroed in. He asked Cain about the war in Iraq. Cain said he supported it because, get this, Saddam was using weapons of mass destruction against his own people. Cain also said that he was in favor of food stamps (Though the program needs to cut out fraud). It also sounds like Cain is in favor of some kind of "fair tax", whatever that is.

And, oh yeah, he's a former chairman (1995-96) and deputy chairman (1992-94) of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

What the hell are the Koch brothers thinking?

When you compare Ron Paul to Herman Cain, the choice is obvious. Congressman Paul says, let's start by bringing U.S. troops home from overseas to help reduce the budget deficit and shift priorities to Americans. He is like that on every issue. He is always about details and specifics He doesn't talk in generalities such as "Well I'm a great manager", like Cain does. Everybody says that, from Mitt Romney to Rudy Giuliani. Who needs more of that?

Congressman Paul is also more principled. You would never see Congressman Paul, as a libertarian, ever say that the food stamp program is a good program. And it appears he has a different view about the Fed, than does the former Fed insider Cain.

So what are the supposed libertarian Koch brothers up to here? It sure isn't about backing the most libertarian candidate. That's clearly Ron Paul. It really strikes me that Cain is likely more controllable than Congressman Paul. You know in advance where Ron Paul is going to stand on issues. He is not about to change anything for a couple of billionaire brothers playing Kochopoly with the world.

Cain on the other hand doesn't strike me as the type that is as hardline on his non-government views. I mean he has already said that he is for food stamps. He has come up with a brand new reason why attacking Iraq was a great idea. And somehow he ends up as head of the KC Fed.

If I'm a billionaire playing Kochopoly, I like this guy. He seems to have that ability to fine tune his thinking to the greater good of the billionaire game. I'm thinking, we may have another Paul Volcker or Colin Powell type. Volcker and Powell, I'm convinced, if called upon by their controls, could justify doing pretty much anything.

Further, Cain's not stuck on liberty the way Ron Paul is, he understands the necessary nuances that so often only billionaire oligarchs see.

In other words, the Kochs must be thinking, "Hey, he's a long shot, but we can make him our long shot. Let's lay down a few bucks on this guy."



UPDATE: Notice this no fact video is put out by the Koch organization, People for the American Way.
