Supporting Cain, GOP base evokes Thomas hearings...

I tend to agree with Debbie Dooley here....If Herman did something wrong - wrong is wrong. No excuses. However...if this IS a high tech lynching...Bring it ON! The Battle begins!

"I think the left is totally and completely terrified of a conservative black man coming to power and prominence," said Debbie Dooley, a leader of Atlanta Tea Party Patriots. "They are trying to do the same thing to him that they did with Clarence Thomas."

Herman Cain Sings About Faith to National Press Club.....

Cain, who is very comfortable with singing in public, has broken out into “Amazing Grace” at an event in Tennessee and also sang God Bless America as a 9/11 tribute.

Cain Says Race Does Not Explain His Campaign Succes....

What condensation from the Drive By Media....

During an event at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. Monday, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain struck down the notion presented by reporters questioning if Cain believed his recent campaign success could be fueled by conservatives trying to prove that they are not racist.

“This many white people can’t pretend that they like me,” said Cain.

Communist Professor Alex Callinicos Talks Violence With Occupy Protests...

How about this answer.....NO!!!!!!!! Atlas Shrugged.....

Asked if the upcoming revolution can be non-violent, he parroted the party line of the demonstrators, who call themselves the 99 percent of Americans lined up against the “1 percent’’ with power and money.

He said violence could be avoided only if the “1 percent accept the decisions of the 99 percent,’’ which he predicted would never happen. [Emphasis added]

Herman Cain Calls Sexual Harassment Claims Baseless & False.....Lordie I hope so.........

Negative press may eclipse GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain’s surge in the polls. The successful businessman is pushing back against allegations that he sexually harassed female staffers during his tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.

In his first appearance since Politico broke what could shape up to be image-shattering allegations, Cain told Fox News’ Jenna Lee that the charges waged against him are both “baseless” and “false.’ Additionally, he says that if there was a cash settlement, he was “unaware of it.” Here’s a rough transcript of the exchange (via Mediaite/TV Eyes):

The Divider vs. the Thinker...

Where is the president in all this? He doesn't seem to be as worried about his country's continuance as his own. He's out campaigning and talking of our problems, but he seems oddly oblivious to or detached from America's deeper fears. And so he feels free to exploit divisions. It's all the rich versus the rest, and there are a lot more of the latter.

Twenty twelve won't be "as sexy" as 2008, he said this week. It will be all brute force. Which will only add to the feeling of unease.

The Pretzel Candidate - Mitt Romney....

Pretzel politics......perfect description of Mitt.....

Every day, 10,000 baby boomers become eligible for Social Security and Medicare, from which they will receive, on average, $1 million of benefits ($550,000 from the former, $450,000 from the latter). Who expects difficult reforms from Romney, whose twists on ethanol make a policy pretzel?

A straddle is not a political philosophy; it is what you do when you do not have one. It is what Romney did when he said using TARP funds for the General Motors and Chrysler bailouts "was the wrong source for that funding." Oh, so the source was the bailouts' defect.

Here comes Michelle......

"Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood." --John Adams

"[Michelle Obama is] back on the campaign trail, and for some reason is returning to the same hardball politics. The other day, she thundered, 'Will we be a country that tells folks who've done everything right but are struggling to get by, "Tough luck, you're on your own"? Is that who we are?'

The very angry first lady Michelle Obama....

Michelle's back, and she’s madder than ever. She was already pretty angry, seemingly unhappy with just about everything. As her husband wrapped up the Democratic nomination in 2008, she let fly her real feelings: “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.” A few months into her job as first lady, her French counterpart asked how she liked the gig: “Don’t ask!” she reportedly spat. “It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”

Home prices heading for triple-dip.....

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The besieged housing market has even further to fall before home prices really hit rock bottom.

According to Fiserv (FISV), a financial analytics company, home values are expected to fall another 3.6% by next June, pushing them to a new low of 35% below the peak reached in early 2006 and marking a triple dip in prices.

Pelosi: "Yes" The Obama NLRB Should Shut Down Boeing's Plant In SC.....

I mean, for starters, do you think it's right that Boeing has to close down that plant in South Carolina because it's non-union?”

Pelosi: “Yes. I don't think they close it down. I would hope they would make it union.”

Bartiromo: “But this is a corporate decision. Should government be getting involved in corporate decisions like that?”

Block: "Cain Has Never Sexually Harassed Anybody, Period. End Of Story.".....

"They were the Chair, Vice Chair and immediate past chair of the National Restaurant Association during Herman Cain's tenure. Yet all three -- and all three said that he was a man of total integrity. Every negative word and accusation in the article is sourced to a series of unnamed or anonymous sources, and this is questionable at best. I am not personally aware of any cash settlement relating to sexual harassment charges to Mr. Cain."

Beck’s 1791 Clothing Line Shatters Sales Projections; Manufacturer to Hire More Staff to Meet Demand...

Glenn Beck’s 1791 clothing line—launched only three weeks ago—is shattering what were already optimistic sales projections, giving the manufacturer a mandate not only to ramp up production but also to hire more employees.

Female Employees Allegedly Accused Herman Cain of Sexually Suggestive Behavior in 1990s...

After questions from POLITICO regarding the allegations, Cain campaign vice president for communications emailed the publication on October 24, writing that any dispute about Cain’s conduct at the restaurant association “was settled amicably among all parties many years ago.”

Cain was president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association from late 1996 to mid-1999. Several board members of the National Restaurant Association mentioned in POLITICO’s story told the publication that they had never heard about any complaints regarding Cain making unwanted advances, and said that such behavior would be out of character based off of their experiences with the executive.

Lions Tulloch and Scheffler Caught ‘Tebowing’ in Celebration....

Ya know....why is this kids Faith an issue?
His football prowess or lack there of is prime for open season...but mocking his Faith?
I'm NOT religious....and I find this...well......for lack of a better - more literary turn of phrase....it just stinks on ice. ( Where the heck did that term come from anyway?!) But it does..........

You don’t have to be a football fan to know who Tim Tebow is. He’s the current Denver Broncos quarterback and former University of Florida Heisman Trophy winner. He‘s also an ardent Christian who doesn’t hide his faith, and he regularly — before, during, and after games — drops to one knee to thank the Lord. But his praying has become a worldwide internet sensation, with people from all over taking pictures of themselves “Tebowing” — or dropping to one knee and pretending to pray. In fact, two of his opponents did it in celebration during this Sunday’s blowout win over the Broncos.

Elizabeth Warren Gives Conservatives New Motivation to Get Behind Scott Brown’s Re-Election Bid in MA...ya think????

Elizabeth Warren might just be the motivation that conservatives need to get behind the re-election campaign of Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA). Until now, the Tea Party activists that helped push Brown to an historic victory in 2010 had been grumbling about Brown’s leftish voting record. But Warren’s embrace of tax-and-spend policies, and her disregard for constitutional checks and balances, are giving conservatives new reasons to care.

Second Energy Department-backed company goes bankrupt...who's surprised? Raise your hand...???

This on top of 93 Million Dollars of tax payer money being paid by "Romney-Care" to cover illegal...I repeat...ILLEGAL aliens...and we can't get anything at all...
Mark my words...Romney-Care is being propped up by the Federal Government so they can show it as a "great illustration" of what Obamacare will be....
Again I say....they all wonder why there is a Tea Party....

A Massachusetts company that received a $43 million Energy Department loan guarantee last year filed for bankruptcy Sunday, a step certain to fuel criticism of federal green energy financing in the wake of the solar company Solyndra’s collapse.

Beacon Power Corp., which makes energy storage systems, filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.

Pelosi Defends Obamacare Waivers To 1,800 Firms: "They're Small Companies" | RealClearPolitics

I wish I was a "Small" as McDonald's....then I wouldn't live in TERROR each day trying to keep my business alive....

"They're small. I couldn't speak to all 1,800 of them, but some of the lists that I have seen have been very, very small companies. They will not have a big impact on the economy of our country," Nancy Pelosi said in an interview with CNBC.

McDonalds, one of the nation's largest employers in recent years, has received a waiver.

Coulter: Politico's Smear Of Cain Shows Liberal Media "Terrified Of Strong, Conservative, Black Men" ...I tend to agree....

Oh.....NOW I read - in only ONE location..that they "Weren't sexual in nature"......HIT-Pro Hit!
I'm so tired of both our country's Parties. All we have become is a society of "Gotcha Attacks" and no ammunition to put forth in the arena of ideas....

Ann Coulter responds to a report from the "liberal publication" Politico that Herman Cain sexually harassed two women while he was the president of the National Restaurant Association.

The most damning part of the report, which is not well sourced, seems to be that Mr. Cain made "physical gestures" that weren't sexual in nature, but made the women uncomfortable:

Herman Cain - Allegations brought forward....

If he was wrong...he was wrong. No excuses. Unlike the Democrats I won't put on rose colored glasses and sweet talk an allegation away...but man....does this smell like a professional hit. And the thing that has me most concerned...it feels like it came from our own side.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain planned to make several scheduled appearances in Washington on Monday following a report that alleges he was twice accused of sexual harassment while he was the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.
