(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Herman Cain Announces His Candidacy For President

From Yahoo News:

ATLANTA – Herman Cain has run a pizza chain, hosted a talk radio show and sparred with Bill Clinton over health care. He's never held elected office. Now the tea party favorite wants to be president.

"In case you accidentally listen to a skeptic or doubting Thomas out there, just to be clear ... I'm running for president of the United States, and I'm not running for second," he told a crowd at Centennial Olympic Park on Saturday. Chants of "Herman" erupted from the crowd of thousands in downtown Atlanta.

The announcement by the businessman, author and radio talk show host that he was joining the expanding Republican field came after months of traveling around the country to introduce himself to voters.

Now the 65-year-old will see if he can use that grass-roots enthusiasm to turn a long-shot campaign into a credible bid.

Your thoughts on Herman Cain?

The Born Again American said...: To present, especially considering it' 6:58 eastern and we're still here, Herman Cain is heads and tails my top choice... It's early, but no one else holds a candle to Cain...; Sat May 21, 04:01:00 PM PDT
Unknown said...: Herman Cain , I do not know anything about him. I am awaiting the close scrutiny of him as it should be for ANY CANDIDATE for the President of the UNITED STATES.
Fool me once,,,shame on you.
Fool me twice,,,SHAME ON ME.; Sat May 21, 06:07:00 PM PDT
Bushwack said...: Cain.. Better than the rest. But nowhere near the best we could do. I'd appreciate a better choice than the field we are looking at now. I think the fact is, the GOP doesn't really care who it is, they know we'll vote for whoever they put fourth against Duh Won. And that's a very bad thing. We're FUBAR.; Sat May 21, 07:50:00 PM PDT
Greybeard said...: He's flip-flopped on the health care issue, but there's always this:
I'd vote for Gilbert Gottfried before I'd vote for the present W.H. occupant.
Would I vote for Herman Cain if he's the candidate?
In a heartbeat.; Sat May 21, 08:52:00 PM PDT
Greybeard said...: Correction to my previous, BZ-
It was the bank bailout he flip-flopped on, not health care.; Sat May 21, 08:53:00 PM PDT
jinksto said...: Agree. Old guard republicans are not what I"m looking for. Newt? Never. Same for Romney. Just no.

Pawlenty is a possibility but, meh...

Cain has zero political experience but, unlike Obama, has at least held a job.; Sat May 21, 09:33:00 PM PDT
Old NFO said...: I would vote for Cain over the current crowd of Republicans. We DO NOT need the next good ol boy this time... We need some NEW blood and I'd just as soon it NOT be a career politician!; Sun May 22, 02:15:00 AM PDT
dons_mind said...: never heard of him until i read the press announcement.; Sun May 22, 06:34:00 AM PDT

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
