Default Cain is a Koch Stooge

Cain's campaign manager and a number of aides have worked for Americans for Prosperity, or AFP, the advocacy group founded with support from billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, which lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending. Cain credits a businessman who served on an AFP advisory board with helping devise his "9-9-9" plan to rewrite the nation's tax code. And his years of speaking at AFP events have given the businessman and radio host a network of loyal grassroots fans.

The once little-known businessman's political activities are getting fresh scrutiny these days since he soared to the top of some national polls.

His links to the Koch brothers could undercut his outsider, non-political image among people who detest politics as usual and candidates connected with the party machine.

Every candidate on both sides is a stooge in one way or the other question is when are people going to put their foot down and demand real people run? when?

Different folks have different perceptions re: what constitutes a "real" person.

For example, people like you believed Dubya was a good ol' boy you could have a beer with.

I guess that's about all you can do when you can't actually deny what I said.

A cartoon contains an actual quote from your candidate, and you feel justified in denying the legitimacy of the quote simply because it was delivered in the form of a cartoon.

That's right-wing "logic" for you.

Herman Cain's connection to billionaires

Links to two brothers could undercut the presidential candidate's Washington outsider image. A look at past ties

Bush was a stooge. Clinton was a stooge.

Real people are not allowed to run. The media decides who runs and what they are allowed to say. The "Beltway" is it's own planet. It is the Bastille and nobody enters that places or leaves that place whole.

Cartoons are humor. Humor is the fastest way to communicate an idea and anyone with any experience in public speaking, leadership, management, or respected authority realizes this.

Herman Cain is an insult wrapped in a parody. He is every bit a clown in black face playing to his audience.

So if you worked in banking, or for the fed you can't be trusted lol. Cmon he seems like a very smart man let's not going making him out to be some agent of the Koch machine.

That's as stupid as the Ayers and Obama stuff etc etc. Cain is sort of impressive really. Not sure I want to vote for him yet but no way he's some lackey. He's worked hard to be where he is at and probably knows a lot more about numbers, math, economics then Obama ever will. Plus Cain totally out blacks the half white Obama!

Just because you work for wall street doesn't make you a bad person. When you are a math guy, an economics professional, you head to the big banks and wall street, investment firms etc etc. What you want economic leaders from some non profit?

Have you figured out yet whether he's a "socialist/Marxist/communist/radical" or a "Wall St. stooge"? Or is this all so very confusing to you?

Some of your posts, like this one for example, come across as the speech of a man who has just run face first into a wall and is being asked if he knows where he is.
