Heh, came here to say this.

Is it $9.99 yet?

1) Get Political Donations (which you can't pocket)
2) Buy your own books
3) Profit.

Cain's whole campaign is just to make money selling his books and the Republicans are too stupid to figure it out.

Herman Cain's presidential campaign paid Cain's motivational speaking company $36,511 for copies of Cain's books, Bloomberg's Jonathan D. Salant and Joshua Green report. The revelation adds a data point to the speculation that his campaign's more about selling books than winning the White House.

So he's a grifter, like Sarah Palin. Awesome.

So a black man can't make an honest buck without being accused of being a swindler? Racist.

Every campaign revolves around a book and its sales these days. Part of the process. I'll let you partisan Farkers sort out the details amongst yourselves.

"Word Herm?"
"Word!"

Sorry, Actually I think Herman Cain is amazing and can do no wrong and Republicans should all vote for him as their nominee.

Taking a page, or two, from Palin and Gingrich.

You would think that the Rightwing would learn at SOME point.

Maybe they like being suckers.

Well except other candidates usually had their books out BEFORE they were ruining and they didn't not give up on campaigning time to sign/sale books in states that the primaries are not going to be for a very long time. They also usually have actual campaign teams in the states they have primaries in.

So this is a bit different.

Does this sound like the other politicians:

Adding to the aura of fakery is that Cain hasn't been to Iowa in 66 days, the Des Moines Register reports. And the director of his New Hampshire campaign has never been paid to work on a campaign, Politico reports. Charlie Spano is a retired teacher who volunteered for Republicans in 2008 and 2010. He's on the local zoning board in Scranton.

He doesn't actually have real campaign staffs in the early primary states.

Herman Cain is buying a lot of Herman Cain's books

Why do they always DO that?

Agneska: Come on libbies, just say it. I know you're dying to, so let me get you started, "Herman Cain is a novice politician with a silly gimmick for a tax plan and is getting lots of attention for spreading bigotry against Muslims and gays, but he's failed to get any big endorsements from Republican leadership and his campaign donations are drastically lower than Rick Perry's and Mitt Romney's. And he must be kidding himself if he thinks he's going to win over the black vote by showing disdain for the term "African American" and claiming that black people who don't support him are brainwashed..."

/Is that what you were expecting, kochanie?

This election is going to be about the Republicans going from one hot candidate of the month to another then realizing they suck and then being stuck with Romney.

That's the scam. His campaign buys them with donated money, he gets a fat check from his publisher. It's legal money laundering and proof that he's not seriously running for president, just making a buck.

I really though Sarah Palin was going to try something like this. I don't know why she didn't. Maybe she will decide to do it as a 3rd party candidate.

Conservatives are chided for having racism as a motivator and underlying intention because that's what it often was for a Very Long Time.
Said group was classically composed of angry old white christian men.

Which also happens to be the majority composition of the Tea Party.
A group which vents and points their anger at the President in particular for things the very same people were praising the previous administration for. For things that they also did not used to chastise other Democratic politicians for.

Since the main difference that sticks out is that this one happens to be black, and given the above, it's not an unfair assumption that racism underlines a lot of the anger and frustration against the Obama administration.

The same qualities can't be equally applied to liberals at all, by definition, so your statement falls flat because the original version wasn't a random tagline, it had the above reasonings.

She just got people to donate their money to her PAC instead right before she announced she wasnt running for president so that she could spend it on whatever she wants

Herman Cain is a non-starter, and will lose badly when we get to the actual voting part of this whole rigor maroll the republicans insist is a contest?

Hey he's got the dumbest motherfarkers eating out of his hand. You know many con men that are gonna walk away from a pot of gold like that ?

Before 1980 grifters use to have to expend all kinds of effort working up a good con. It involved "stores" and "ropers" and "take down men". After 1980 Saint Raygun had assembled all the dumb marks into one easily identifiable political party. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Pretty much. Didn't you think it was odd she dropped out of the race right as her "documentary" came out on DVD?

Me, no, I wasnt surprised she would do something like that.

Palin pulled this same crap last year. It's a way to launder campaign contributions into your own personal pocket. People should be put in jail for this crap. How is it any different from "personal profit" if the royalties are going to a company Cain owns rather than directly into his savings account? The company will now "decide" that it has had a good year and write the CEO a bonus check.

"This Book Title Is Very Long: Which Is Why Nobody Will Bother Reading The Full Title - Penis."

Its perfectly legal as long as his PAC redistributes them as promotional literature or as gifts for donating. Kindof like your PAC renting expensive downtown office space which you just happen to own.

Because corporations are people, capable of speech and expenditures independent of the people who make the decisions for the company. It's the law of the land, and if you don't like that, you aren't a true American.

Lost Thought 00: Its perfectly legal as long as his PAC redistributes them as promotional literature or as gifts for donating. Kindof like your PAC renting expensive downtown office space which you just happen to own.

No, the proceeds also need to be donated to charity (or at least not go to Herman Cain). The problem isn't that he's using his PAC to buy his books. The problem is that the money he "earns" by having his PAC buy his books goes into his own pocket.

Patriotic freedom-loving Americans need to know whether or not a dangerous African constitution-usurper is trying to take over their country.

Why won't Cain release his long form birth certificate? What's he trying to hide?

Agneska: Come on libbies, just say it. I know you're dying to, so let me get you started, "Herman Cain is a n..."

Yes, I agree. He is a nincompoop.

Or did you mean nitwit?

Or perhaps NINE NINE NINE.

I don't see any other possibilities though.

Corvus: This election is going to be about the Republicans going from one hot candidate of the month to another then realizing they suck and then being stuck with Romney.

Romney is like the fat kid with asthma at lunchtime recess that stands and waits while all the other kids are picked for a softball game. It's must be frustrating to him that the bible-thumping girl with the crazy eyes (Bachmann) and the class clown who you can't believe anything that he says (Cain) got picked before he did.

his PAC has to buy them, everyone knows (R)'s don't read.

Now I'm wondering if tonight's "debate" will be more about Paul's debt reduction plan or Cain's book.

/Could be both
