Democrats aren’t behaving rationally. I don’t mean they’re mentally ill, although they seem to hold that opinion of conservatives. Rather, they are suffering from a pathology that assumes anyone who disagrees with them is stupid, evil, and wrong. I went through public education for primary, secondary, and higher education in a blue state, receiving a heavy dose of liberalism from my family and peers. It was the rare exception when they didn’t act shocked — SHOCKED — that someone disagreed with them. They couldn’t comprehend how anyone could take a different point of view on issues from abortion to global...

Although Obama sympathizers managed to derail what would have been the area’s largest Tea Party, they cound not stifle the movement. Over 7,000 patriots came to Jim Miller Park in Marietta to voice their disgust with Washington’s deaf ears. Video and photos available in the original article.

I listen to his radio show a lot, and he has good ideas on how to repackage the GOP. He seems to want the position.Herman ran for the Senate in Georgia, but lost the primary to the RINO Johnney Isakson. Before that, he ran Godfather's pizza, some small business and sits on some major corporate boards. He hosts "The new Herman Cain Show" on am750 at 7pm monday - friday. AM750 is the local Atlanta clear radio station that hosts Boortz, Hannity, Clarke Howard and some others.

U.S. Wary Of Small Boat Terrorism As boating season approaches, the Bush administration wants to enlist America's 80 million recreational boaters to help reduce the chances that a small boat could deliver a nuclear or radiological bomb somewhere along the 95,000 miles of U.S. coastline and inland waterways. According to an April 23 intelligence assessment obtained by The Associated Press, "The use of a small boat as a weapon is likely to remain al Qaeda's weapon of choice in the maritime environment, given its ease in arming and deploying, low cost, and record of success." While the United States...

The former comptroller general of the United States, David Walker, said in a recent interview that the unfunded liability for Social Security and Medicare was $20 trillion in 1990. The Social Security and Medicare trustees issued their annual report last week indicating that the unfunded liability for those two programs is now $53 trillion. Congress has done absolutely nothing to curtail this national financial tidal wave. For decades, some members have talked – only talked – about the problem. But all of them have allowed the unfunded liabilities to explode, and the national debt to grow to almost $10 trillion....

The dynamics of political party connections, the political process itself and public perceptions have once again yielded the top two contenders of each major party in the 2008 presidential race. And once again, the public can only hope that the ultimate winner of the White House will be a candidate with the most leadership substance.My vote is for Mitt Romney.<snip> Joey Wilson/Associated Press   Herman Cain is a radio talk show host on WSB radio.  

If “The Economy” were a movie, the movie critics would conclude that “we have seen this movie before”. With exaggerated fears of an immediate recession being proclaimed by the media, the players are the same, the movie plots are the same, the lines are the same, the chase scene near the end will be the same, and unfortunately, the end of the movie will be the same. Here are just some of the promotional headlines appearing on media marquees last week to entice you to pay the $7.50 to go to the movie or order it on pay-per-view. “DOW takes...

I do not know the origin of the phrase “You can’t fix stupid”, but it is a fitting description for the millions of people who seem to never question the unrealistic and unfunded implications of anything Hillary Clinton and other Democratic leaders say. This nation has a funding problem with the Social Security structure, a spending problem with Medicare and Medicaid and a large budget deficit – and Hillary wants to give every baby born in this country a government paid savings account just for being born. Are people really too naïve to even wonder where the money will come...

President Bush’s latest attempt to salvage the Immigration Bill has made it crystal clear that there is indeed a political class of those we elect, who blatantly ignore the wishes of the electorate. Despite the overwhelming outcry against the bill in its present form, the president and many members of Congress seem determined to pass a collection of glued-together agendas, which are far from being a comprehensive solution. The Senate responded to the outcry by voting to not end debate, which prompted Senator Harry Reid, the Majority Leader, to pull the bill from the floor for the time being. That...

Herman Cain, the former U.S. senate candidate and the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, has been diagnosed with colon cancer, a spokeswoman for Cain said this morning. “The guy’s a fighter and he’s going to be fine,” said Ericka Pertierra, his chief of staff. “He’s trying to figure out how to do the radio show from the bed.” Cain, 60, learned of the diagnosis “a couple weeks ago” and is scheduled for surgery later this month at a hospital in Houston, she said. Cain was one of three Republican candidates in the 2004 race for U.S. Senate. The Henry County...

Tougher penalties are sought in sex cases By John Greiner The Oklahoman Repeat child molesters could face the death penalty, life without parole or life in prison, under legislation approved Tuesday by the state Senate Judiciary Committee. "These are individuals who've proven they can't be rehabilitated," said state Sen. Jay Paul Gumm, D-Durant. "I believe child sex abuse to be the ultimate crime." Gumm, after being questioned by state Sen. Bernest Cain, said he didn't know if the U.S. Supreme Court would approve a death penalty for a repeat child molester. Cain, D-Oklahoma City, offered an amendment to eliminate the...

Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.� Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look...

Power to the people: Joe Cain Day is here Sunday, February 26, 2006 By PENELOPE McCLENNY He's a modestly costumed Indian chief among royally outfitted kings and queens, but Chief Slacabamorinico is the heart of Mardi Gras in Mobile. Chief Slac will lead the Joe Cain Day procession today, a celebration that began in the mid-1800s. Since then, it has evolved as an authentic Mobile event -- copied in just one other U.S. city -- to honor the citizen who is credited with rejuvenating the Carnival season. In 1993, Nevada City, Calif., carried Cain's legacy outside of Mobile to help...

Where is the outrage that was manufactured to run Rush Limbaugh off the air? Is it absent because Gumbel is allegedly black? So just picture for a moment, if you will, that you're watching SportsCenter tonight and Dan Patrick says, "The lack of whites in the NBA makes it look like a welfare office." Think that would get buried like Gumbel's comments? For what it's worth, maybe Gumbel should do some research on the emerging face of the GOP.

Some cast aside traditional loyalties... Adam Hunter, an ambitious law student with bright eyes, an easy smile, and plenty of charisma, seems practically destined for politics... a first-year law student at Howard University, a historically black campus with a long record of liberal activism. He has political ambitions of his own -- but not with the Democrats. Instead, Hunter, who as an undergraduate headed Howard's chapter of College Republicans, sees himself as part of a younger generation of African-Americans. He is ready to cast aside traditional loyalties to the Democratic Party and forge his own political identity. ''There's a lot...

In George Orwell’s classic book entitled 1984, one of the brainwashing pillars used by Big Brother was “ignorance is strength.” All citizens were constantly reminded of this principle to diminish their desire to know the truth. Adherence to this principle kept the government strong and the citizens weak. The Democratic leadership in Congress has apparently adopted this philosophy as a strategy to defeat the idea of optional personal retirement accounts to restructure our dysfunctional Social Security system. Week after week their rhetoric attempts to deny, distort, distract, and deceive the public on the facts about President Bush’s optional accounts proposal....

CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq(May 17, 2005) -- Ambassadors of Hollywood tour stars Dean Cain and Amanda Swisten stopped here May 14 and 15 to show an advanced screening of the new movie “Lost”, sign autographs and take individual and group photos. Cain, made famous for his Clark Kent/Superman role on the hit television show “Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman”, and Swisten, a star in “American Wedding” and “Girl Next Door,” arrived late Saturday night to make an appearance at the base theater for a preview of Cain’s newest movie “Lost”.

The rhetoric of class warfare is as old as dirt. Even Pharaoh kept the slaves fighting among themselves to extend their captivity. But there is nothing classy about stirring people’s jealousy and envy, making people feel as if the world owes them something, or bashing people who take risks to create jobs and help drive our economy. It is classless exploitation to appeal to a person’s weakness of understanding instead of their strength of character. Not surprisingly, Democratic Party leaders were quick to attack President Bush’s most recent proposal to help restructure Social Security by labeling it a “benefit cut...

Well, Mr. Herman Cain, who lost in his bid for the US Senate in the state of Georgia, has announced his plans for the future. He is not running for Lt. Governer, as many had hoped. Instead, he has much larger plans. These plans include, but are not limited to, a new radio show, a new book, a potential job at Fox News, and he keeps his plan to likely run for Governer in 2010.

This is an interesting article from "The Next Big Star" of the Republican Party. Just thought I'd use an Obama reference. It's an interesting read. -------------------------------------------------------- By Herman Cain and Dan Gainor For several years, the news media have been warning us of the impending doom of global warming. Well, they almost got it right. Forget their reports that blame everything from hot weather to cold weather on global warming. The impending doom lurking just around the corner is the Kyoto Protocol -- and Russia's decision to go along with this nonsense will make it a reality for a good...

This morning Herman Cain took his first steps toward his future. Sitting in for Martha Zoller, Cain sounded like an old pro on the radio. When asked "What are you going to do next?" Cain replied "Stay Tuned." The show went well--with lots of callers. Mr. Cain provided the listeners with his insight on all the major issues (The War on Terror, Medicare, Social Security, Taxes, liberals, conservatives, George W. Bush and more). No one yet knows what Herman Cain's next step will be in politics, but doing shows like Martha Zoller could prove a huge factor in helping get...

July 20, 2004 Georgia's Black Phenom From yesterday’s WSJ Political Diary: Raising Cain The GOP primary for U.S. Senate in Georgia is going down to the wire. The big question tomorrow is whether Rep. Johnny Isakson, the favorite of the party establishment, can win 50% plus one of the votes and avoid a runoff. That’s important because Mr. Isakson’s main opponent is Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and a barnburner of a campaigner. “Veteran political observers are still awed by Cain’s explosion” on the Georgia scene, writes Bill Shipp of the Athens Banner Herald. “Now he is the...

Isakson Leads Ga. Primary Early Returns Wednesday July 21, 2004 1:46 AM AP Photo GAJB601 By DICK PETTYS Associated Press Writer ATLANTA (AP) - Rep. Johnny Isakson opened a wide lead Tuesday in early returns in the Republican primary for the seat held by maverick Democratic Sen. Zell Miller, whose retirement has given the GOP an excellent opportunity to pick up a Senate seat. Eight Democrats vied for the nomination, but face an uphill battle in a state that has experienced a sudden shift to the right in the last two years. In North Carolina, former Clinton chief of staff...

Will it be Isakson? Cain? A runoff? Will that beast McKinney go down in flames to Leviatan? Who will be the Dims sacrificial lamb in the Senate race? Here is the place where we'll discuss it.

The polls are open for only a little while longer. Get out and help elect Herman Cain. Does anyone have a sense for what the results might be?

Check out the complete story on the 11 Alive news site. Johnny Isakson does not sound very sure he will win this thing--or for that matter--even get to a runoff. When asked by reporter Denis O'Hayer how things were looking, he said the following: "We didn't do any polling after Sunday. O'Hayer: and what did it say? Isakson: "They told us we're in the hunt so we're waiting for the poll that counts, which is the one today." Read what you want to in this. Perhaps, Isakson is playing low key. I have my doubts. I think he does not...

Conservative Democrat Zell Miller sides against his own party more often than most; he's endorsed President Bush for re-election and will speak at the GOP convention. (He's also a friend of TAS, having delivered the keynote address at a dinner last fall where financial benefactors mingled with those of us whom they benefact.) There are some who say that Miller's seat in the Senate is really filled by a Republican. When he retires next year, it will become official. The Democrat expected to win today's primary, freshman congresswoman Denise Majette, is far too liberal to be elected in Georgia, where...

Just heard on 1190 WGKA here in Atlanta that Herman Cain will be on the Micheal Medved show this afternoon.

THOMASVILLE, Ga. -- Herman Cain, fast-food millionaire turned U.S. Senate candidate, fixed his gaze on the semicircle crowding around him at the local political hangout and grinned. It was showtime. The women in the red-white-and-blue blouses had set aside their fried chicken plates and ambled into the lobby of the Plaza restaurant, idling attentively beneath the autographed picture of former House speaker Newt Gingrich.

Blacks Turning to GOP With Herman Cain?

Herman Cain, Republican candidate for U.S Senate, has received the endorsements of The Macon Telegraph and the Citizen Newspaper (Fayette County). The Telegraph notes that, of the three candidates, ‘Cain has the greater vision and drive to succeed.’ Cal Beverly, editor of the Citizen Newspaper, stated “I will be one of those thousands saying yes to Herman Cain. The GOP and this state need men of this quality and character in public office. “Herman Cain is just what Georgia needs, especially the Democratic part,” Beverly continued. “I am proud to have received the endorsements of the Macon Telegraph and the...

Exuberant but hoarse, Herman Cain noted Thursday that his U.S. Senate candidacy was discussed about a year ago on an Atlanta political talk show. "A well-known political writer," the McDonough businessman told about 40 supporters at the Savannah Roundhouse Railroad Museum, "made the statement that ... Herman Cain doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hades ... of winning." The writer appeared on the show last weekend, said Cain, who is running against U.S. Reps. Johnny Isakson and Mac Collins in Tuesday's Republican primary. "He said, 'Well, it looks like the Republican nomination is going to come down to a runoff...

Why the latest Cain-Isakson poll is sheer nonsense: Real Clear Politics is reporting that a new poll has Johnny Isakson up by 26 percentage points over Herman Cain (i.e., 46% to 20%). I've done a little digging and spoken with some people "in the know," and I can tell y'all without hesitation that the group that conducted this poll is going to quite embarrassed on July 20th. Here's the lowdown: (1) The poll was not released with any accompanying details (sample size, types of voters, etc.); (2) Johnny Isakson's website says nothing, nada, zilch about this poll. Gee, I wonder...

How able is Cain? By Bill shipp Business tycoon Herman Cain may be within a week of rewriting Georgia Republican history. Vote tallies from the July 20 GOP primary could put the black 58-year-old into a runoff for the U.S. Senate nomination with frontrunner Johnny Isakson. A few even believe Cain might defeat him. More likely, Cain may receive enough votes to deprive Isakson of a first-round majority victory and force him into an expensive and exhausting three-week runoff campaign. As the most anti-abortion candidate who ever was, Cain may have brushed past the fading candidacy of Congressman Mac Collins...

Voters in both the Democratic and Republican primaries next week will have an array of candidates from which to choose in the U.S. Senate race to succeed Sen. Zell Miller. The Republican ballot offers three candidates, each with strengths. The Democratic field of eight, however, lacks anyone ready to assume the responsibilities in the tradition of strong representation Georgia has generally held in the U.S. Senate. Democrats failed to field a standout. Democrat Congresswoman Denise Majette has the advantage of 18 months in the U.S. House but little else. She's thrown away the opportunity constituents in the 4th Congressional District...

CLERMONT - Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herman Cain made Clermont a stop on his "Promise of America" bus tour Saturday. In years past, politicians on the stump drumming up votes made whistle stops. Herman Caine made a bus stop at Clermont Community Center where campaign signs and supporters greeted him in the parking lot. Cain said he wanted to travel one more time across the state the week before the July 20th Primary to meet the voters. Cain promised to replace the current tax structure with a national sales tax to give working American "We're not ruling out the possibility...

Some see Collins faltering in GOP Senate bid DICK PETTYS Associated Press ATLANTA - Six-term U.S. Rep. Mac Collins has surprised a lot of people in his bid for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination, but maybe not quite the way he intended. With the campaign in its last 10 days, he is dead last in fund-raising among the three GOP candidates for the seat of retiring Sen. Zell Miller, and until his TV ads began airing this weekend, he had forfeited that medium to rivals Johnny Isakson and Herman Cain. Collins insisted Friday he's "in good shape" and will peak...

This Liberal Business Chris Stewart Air America is just about dead. Air America was supposed to be the liberal answer to the right-wing talk radio market. It was launched in March with all the shining stars of American liberalism, from Michael Moore to Al Gore, giggling like schoolgirls in interviews that left-wing commentators were finally going to defeat the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and drive them from the American radio waves. They didn't mention that the left has always had a taxpayer supported radio network called National Public Radio. This typical left-wing operation is such a financial...

DECATUR, Ga. - Herman Cain is having fun. The former head of Godfather's Pizza, who had drawn national attention as a black Republican running for a Southern U.S. Senate seat, seems amused and amazed as he sits at a restaurant and discusses his sudden popularity. Even as he pauses to grab a bowl of soup at Atlanta Bread Co. - an effort to make up for a meal he missed while speaking at a Kiwanis meeting - people show their support. "Go get 'em, baby!" remarks one supporter. For Cain, seeking elected office for the first time, the experience is...

A CONTRACT WITH GEORGIAA Bold Vision to Bring Conservative Common Sense to the United States Senate by HERMAN CAIN Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate The United States is being challenged by the war on terror, the war on our moral foundation and the war on our economic infrastructure. But America is still the greatest country in the world because of the bold leadership of the past and the American Dream that is still alive today. In 1994 we had a vision for a better America and a desire to "restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected...

Ad Watch By: Mara Kelly; News Three on Your Side June 29, 2004 Senate candidate Herman Cain comes out swinging in his latest campaign ad In it he says, "Johnny Isakson has voted pro abortion 14 times." At the bottom of the screen he cites several bills Isakson has voted for. We took a look, but were unable to read any of the bills because they were so small. We called Cain's campaign office and they sent us a copy of all the bills that were featured. We looked them up through the U.S. House of Representatives website, and found...

Get ready for the unpleasantness. It's coming. The revelation that blacks are about to become the majority in the Democratic Party in Georgia ratchets up the tension within the party and between the parties. One example came this weekend in Savannah, where the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials gathered to hear U.S. Senate candidates. The keynote speaker, the 82-year-old Rev. Joseph Lowery, endorsed U.S. Rep. Denise Majette, who has a virtual lock on her party's nomination. In a jab directed at Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herman Cain, a black man who succeeded in the private sector, Lowery equated skin...
