    I’m assuming the Hookah smoker is one of the Koch brothers…

    This is a very pale Cain as he is disappearing.

    WHAT campaign? Cain has no campagin organization on the ground—not in any one of the primary states. He’s about as serious a candidate as Donald Trump was….and for pretty much the same reason

    He will be the next President. The next Reagan.

    The media shielded Clinton, Edwards, and Weiner? What color is the sky in your universe? At least Weiner had the decency to resign relatively quickly, unlike Larry Craig and David Vitter, who are still in the Senate….

    Yeah, we’re soooo scared of Cain…just like you said we were scared of Perry when he first threw his hat in the ring…and where is he now? LOL!

    Facts are facts, harleykins….everything I said is true, look it up. And all the king’s ranting and all the king’s trying to change the subject won’t alter any of that.

    ROFLMAO!

    Only YOU would try to spin lobbying for a tobacco firm into championing individual rights!

    What’s next, harleykins? Gonna tell us that Rick Perry showed rare courage by insisting upon making a speech even though he knew he was drunk?

    “I already knew he helped defeat Hillary Care by making a fool out of Bill Clinton.”

    You mean he stopped ruining his pizza franchise for a bit to mess with Clinton? Shock and awe.

    “Now you have pointed out that he can even find common ground with tobacco when it comes to individual rights.”

    Whatever convinces you to believe that he’s not taking money from the tobacco lobby.

    The old school Republicans are falling hard for an old school “Marketing Trick”… It’s really that simple – Stupid. I do like some of his cost cutting policies, but he is no president and 999 is no solution! Face it – The Republicans don’t have a solution. Both-Ways-Obama is our only option at this point… So now – the elected need to work WITH him – not for him and Not Against him!

    Saddam got rid of his perceived “enemies” in uncounted numbers by having them thrown into a large commercial fertilizer shredder…...the USA Liberal Media do their “shredding” by smears, character assassinations, and daily HYPE……but only the Republicans and Conservatives are treated with False Accusations and Baseless Allegations….real immorality and criminal actors with the Democrat Label are treated with protection and minimization of bad deeds….Clinton, a sitting president, received “it’s only sex” and a rise in Democrat approval polls….they try to prevent reporting on Buddy Democrats….the Liberal Media Biased un-Journalistic MO.

    Right wingers: take note: Cain is finished! His failure to show up in Atlanta today signifies he knows he can’t defend himself against these sexual harassment charges. He’s dead meat; but, it’s okay because he NEVER WAS a real candidate. Like Trump’s campaign, this one was simply egotistical self promotion.

    @ Jack My mistake for using app in my statement. The ‘toon is referring to Cain’s campaign manager and relationship to Mr. Cain’s tobacco connection. Your photo shows you (?) smoking a cigarette which indicates your support of smoking.

    The NRA (National Restaurant Association) and NRA (National Rifle Association) are LOBBYING GROUPS, they do PUBLIC RELATIONS and distribute money to politicians as well to “get what they want”. A secret of good PR is “don’t be a fool”. While heading NRA, Cain, a PR PERSON, NOT a “manager”, apparently did something rather stupid, and a couple women were apparently paid off to shut them up. While it was a long time ago, it showed a “personal character issue” that Cain, like many political frauds have had problems with.

    What Cain has proven is, he can change his tune faster than an I Pod, sooo? MItt, Sarah, same problem. Obama has been too cowed by the herd to keep that herd moving, and Boehner, McConnell and others have thrown fences up at every opportunity to slow or stop any progress.

    There IS a problem with leadership when the “leader” makes constant errors and changes, on their own. It IS a different situation, when trying to seek any consensus is blocked not just by the opposition, but even your OWN “supporters”.

    A campaign “promise” isn’t a “promise” but may show promise if it receives support. The “right wing” candidates are “promising” to single-handedly change laws, the Constitution, and apparently the rotation of the Earth, BY THEMSELVES! If there is a real lesson in the Obama presidency, it is that the Constitution, if followed, doesn’t ALLOW a single person to “do it” alone!

    Maybe it’s time for Americans, politicians AND voters, to wake up and realize that??

    Mae Riot – exactly. Americans complain about how little Obama’s done, but forget that they took Congress away from him – they have no right to whine about the resulting gridlock. If you want real change, you need to put in MORE Democrats,not less – and in the nomination process, put in Democrats committed to change, get rid of “blue dogs” like Blanche Lincoln.

    @Tigger because there’s a huge difference between smoking and kissing up to the tobacco lobby. It’s like the difference between wearing a cotton shirt and owning slaves.

    White liberals hate Black conservatives. I hear the vultures gathering. And we’re supposed to believe all this, despite no names, no records, and no substance to any of this.
