Herman Cain is like a clod of dung that just won’t come off your expensive shoes, he refuses to leave the spotlight. One day he’s on Sean Hannity’s show trying to play the role of a political analyst, the next day he’s giving Barbara Walters a heart attack by telling her he wouldn’t mind being Secretary of Defense.
Now just in time for the holiday season the disgraced politician has released a Christmas video meant to portray him as a family man who loves his wife, the Baby Jesus and white people.
The video depicts the Cain family and a couple of random white families reading the Christmas story from the Bible. Cain reads from the Bible while he’s holding his wife’s hand, their wedding bands gleaming brighter than a nuclear explosion. Cain’s spouse gazes adoringly at him, as if Cain were a faithful and loving husband, instead of an adulterer who barely spends a dozen days at home in a year.
I have no problem buying the subliminal message that Cain really, really loves white people. The former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza is every white family’s favorite uncle. But he will never convince me, or anybody else, that he is a faithful family man.
If you have a strong stomach here’s a link to Cain’s Christmas video:
They hate unions, they hate Obama, they hate immigrants, they hate gay people, they hate the affordable healthcare act, they hate science, they hate Bill Clinton, they hate black people, they hate Jews, they hate Muslims, …..the list is hopelessly long!
And, they are hypocrites too — for they claim they love Christmas, yet they hate everything about Christmas — that charity and brotherhood “makes their skin crawl.”
That’s why when “crotch-grabbing,” shit-pail carrier, Herman Cain proclaims that those who are poor and jobless should “blame themselves” — he gets a standing ovation, and when the idea of letting the uninsured patients die was floated in one of the Republican debates, the sadistic tea party audience cheered wildly!
….oh yes, they as so full of hate — they can’t find a candidate hateful enough to rally around in 2012. The only ones that can get them excited with frothing hate, e.g. Sarah ‘DEATH’ Palin — are so stupid they can’t stand any form of national scrutiny.
Rick Perry has fallen by the wayside for not being hateful enough of immigrants, Bachmann is a dingbat and a woman(Republicans hate women by the way), Herman Cain has proven to be an incompetent Uncle-Tom, a brain-freezed, punkified, sissified, pasteurized, homogenizedshit-pail carrier, while Mitt Romney is an untrustworthy flip-flopping liar.
In his Tuesday night rant Chris Mathews had this to say:
“…..the utter confusion in the republican presidential nominating process results from two discernible facts. One, they hate. That’s the simplest explanation of the disastrous course of this selection process. They hate so much they are not in the mood to fall in love with a candidate or even falling behind someone.”
“….their brains racked as they are by hatred, they lack the like mode. They are in no mood looking around for a politician they like. The hating is so much more satisfying.”
“….the second factor: They aren’t respecting experience. Each candidate has his or her time in the limelight yet out there in the audition stage, one after another, has showed they don’t have the stuff. Embarrassed by the exposure, they have shrunk back into the shadows, and so the Republicans have a problem. They are consumed by hate, so consumed they can’t think positively of whom they may want to lead them. They just can’t change the subject from opposition to government, and they can’t get over the fact that to govern this country requires some experience in government, some knowledge of how you lead a government.”
Dana Milbank Writes: The field general of the Revolution of 1994 is suddenly out in front of the Republican presidential primary polls, but I can’t help thinking that he will soon go the way of Rick Perry and Herman Cain.
It’s not Gingrich’s disparaging of President Obama’s “Kenyan, neo-colonial” worldview. Or the six-figure bills he and his third wife ran up at Tiffany’s. Or the cruise of the Greek islands that led much of his staff to quit in frustration.
Gaffes and missteps may dislodge Perry and Cain from their top-tier status by making them appear unqualified to be president, but there’s no question the former speaker of the House is qualified.
His problem, rather, is that he is entirely too moderate in this field — and, therefore, in no position to establish himself as the conservative anti-Mitt Romney. The ideas that made him a conservative revolutionary in 1994 make him squishy in 2012. [ READ MORE ]

Doug Lamborn, Republican Colorado Congressman, Refers To Obama Dealings As Being Stuck To A ‘Tar Baby,’ a racial epithet:
Doug Lamborn, was recently on the 630 KHOW Capils and Silverman radio show discussing President Obama, the President’s economic policies, and the debt ceiling deals being debated. Lamborn describe working with the President:
Even if some people say, ‘Well the Republicans should have done this or they should have done that,’ they will hold the President responsible. Now, I don’t even want to have to be associated with him. It’s like touching a tar baby and you get it, you’re stuck, and you’re a part of the problem now and you can’t get away. I don’t want that to happen to us, but if it does or not, he’ll still get, properly so, the blame because his policies for four years will have failed the American people.
In 2010, the National Journal ranked Doug Lamborn the “most conservative” a.k.A [ THE MOST RACIST ] member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Lamborn has voted to the right of 96 percent of his colleagues on economic issues, 93 percent on social issues, and 76 percent on foreign policy issues, according to The Huffington Post.
I’ve been called a lot of things over the years while serving in public office, but to be called the most conservative member of Congress is a distinct honor.

Hate-Talker, Republican Rush Limbaugh Calls Gender Reassignment Surgery An ‘Add-A-Dick-To-Me’
Columnist – John Sammon Ebenezer Scrooge was just ahead of his time.
He gets a bad rap in some English fairy tale for being a stingy bastard who has money and doesn’t want to part with it. What’s wrong with that? That’s just the American way.
He walks along the snowy street on his way home alone from his work minding his own business and two busy-bodies who run a poor-house for a bunch of wretches and lazy loafers hit Scrooge up for money.
“How much can we put you down for?” they ask.
“Nothing,” Scrooge says.
That’s supposed to make us feel that Scrooge is a bad guy. Aren’t we advised to save money? Aren’t we supposed to contribute to 401K plans and sock it away for a rainy (or snowy) day? If the loser bastards at the poor-house want money, let them go out themselves and earn it.
The lazy bastards.
What is Scrooge’s crime? He earns money he doesn’t want to fritter away in a socialistic give-away.
Oh, Scrooge is supposed to feel guilty because he has money he earned and doesn’t want to give it away to a bunch of liberal leeches. No matter how much he would give them, they’ll hit him up for more next year, and the next. There will always be more losers who need free money.
And what is Christmas, anyway? It’s a holiday commemorating the birth of an obscure preacher in Galilee that didn’t even take place on December 25, because we don’t even know what year Jesus was born, and in fact no hard evidence outside the Bible exists that he ever lived at all because no contemporary historians at the time like Josephus even mention a word about him.
We celebrate his birth by an obligatory expenditure of at least $1,000 in cash every year because the baby Jesus according to the story was given gifts by three wise men. So, we ripped off that part of the story by giving each other gifts as though we’re all like the baby Jesus.
We’re trying to imitate Jesus.
Christmas, the way we celebrate it, is a recent invention from England of the Victorian Age. In 1890, for the first time, parents in England started to cherish their children. For the first time children would not be beasts of burden or ignored as in the Middle Ages. So the idea took hold, let’s give junior a gift like baby Jesus got.
But at first, only junior got a gift, not Uncle Fred or Aunt Flo. Now, everybody has to have a gift. Let’s have everybody get a gift.
It’s Socialism.
We celebrate the obscure preacher Jesus by taking a pagan fable from Germany about a fat man in a red suit who arrives on your roof in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and who squeezes down your chimney. Can you see the logical connection, the relationship, between English parents in 1890 in England spoiling their kid, a fictional German fat man from the pagan past, and a first century preacher in the Middle East during the reign of the Roman Emperor Tiberius?
Doesn’t it all make sense?
Every year, we all have to spend at least $1,000 on this ritual. And if we don’t have the money, we borrow it, we go into debt, in a society that tells us that debt is bad, but that really wants us to go into debt because our economy depends on it, the banks make interest off us, and we need it to fund the wars we pursue against tiny impoverished Third World countries in the Middle East, the home of the baby Jesus.
And Scrooge wants no part of this. He says “humbug!” And for this he’s branded a bad guy.
Scrooge is a Republican. He wouldn’t support the Dream Act. Let the Mexicans take their dream back to Mexico. He wouldn’t support allowing gays openly in the military. Why do they want to join the army anyway?
Scrooge has money. How he spends money is his business. Bill Gates has money. Do busy-bodies stop Bill Gates on the street and hit him up for money and then frown when he says “F (expletive deleted) off?” Do we think Bill Gates is a bad guy because he wants to keep his money and not give it away to a bunch of losers?
Bob Cratchit, he’s lucky Scrooge made a job for him. But does Scrooge get any credit for job creation? Nooooo! He’s a bad guy because he won’t give Cratchit a raise in salary and an extra day off at Christmas and another piece of coal for the furnace. Scrooge is an environmentalist. He doesn’t want to burn fossil fuels.
Three ghosts come in the night and tell Scrooge he’s a bad guy. They say, ooohhhh, you’re a bad guy, even though there are robbers out there and murderers and child molesters and perverts and rapists and drug addicts and thieve and liars, swindlers and predators. AND THAT’S JUST THOSE IN THE GOVERNMENT!
You’re a bad guy because you have money and won’t give it to people who didn’t earn it.
He should tell the ghost to ‘F’ off and take your chains with you.
Scrooge shouldn’t have to buy a goose for Tiny Tim either. If you want a goose, get a paper route kid!
Scrooge is a good Republican.
The close relationship, the natural progression, from one thought to the next?
Each year at Christmas we celebrate the birth of a First Century AD Galilean holy man and prophet, who preached, according to what we find in the Bible, humility, forbearance, sweetness and frugality. We celebrate this with an orgy of retail spending.
We also celebrate this short and obscure life, for there isn’t much hard historical evidence of the details, by promoting the mythological arrival on your roof of a German fat man in a red suit, in a sleigh pulled by wild bovines, one of whom has an incandescent nose.
Doesn’t it make sense? It all makes perfect sense to me.
This German fat man squeezes his way down your chimney, and leaves presents for your kids that you know you bought and weren’t left by the German fat man. But you tell your kid you didn’t buy the gifts. They were left by a German fat man who as he sailed away into the night yelled “Ho! Ho!”
You tell your kids this story until about the time they reach the age of 14, when they finally realize on their own, or are told by friends, it was all a lie. Thus, even from their earliest memories, you show them you love them by foisting a lie. And not just a small lie. A WHOPPER!
That’s supposedly because you’re a giving, generous person.
Interestingly, even when they’re small, your children sure know who to complain to if they don’t feel they got enough, or didn’t get what they want. YOU! For some reason, they don’t even bother searching for a fictional German fat man.
I’ve threatened to boycott Christmas for years.
Here are 10 reasons why:
1. Let’s smell the coffee. Okay? Christmas is about spending, not about Jesus, not even about the concept of giving. If you doubt me, try spending a third what you normally spend. That’s still giving, isn’t it? Your kid will run sobbing to her room. You’ll feel guilty. A bad person. You didn’t spend enough. Don’t try to blame it on the German fat man. Try explaining to your child about the spirit of it, the thought that counts, not the amount of the merchandise. About Jesus. Yeah right! Your kid will get up and run sobbing into another room.
2. This ritual requires an expenditure of at least $700 per year. That’s small. If you’re a rich airline pilot, it could be $1,200, maybe $5,000. If you’re like a lot of people, you don’t have the money. The cost of everything goes up. Even the Christmas tree now costs more than I once paid for a used car. You borrow money for it on credit cards and go deeper into debt, to please your kid, or whomever.
3. Scrooge got a bad rap. He was a Republican businessman. If he killed and robbed people to get money, I’d be less sympathetic. But he made money by being ruthless, and didn’t want to share it. That’s just the American way. You know the story. Scrooge sees the light after being threatened by three ghosts. At the end, he’s throwing money at charities and anyone who will take it, and he’s a good person. Next year, when the charities come back for more, he’s out. He gave it all away. Now, instead of being an SOB, the charities call him a goddamned fool.
The moral is clear. People evaluate your character based on how you spend your own money, money you earned from hard work, and whether or not you give them that money.
4. Most of the merchandise purchased is made by slaves or low income peons in China, ruled by a ruthless regime. Thus, the slave laborer sits in his Chinese jail cell putting together a DVD player that costs his jailer $7.95 to produce. They ship it and sell it to you for $198.95. With each purchase, you are helping China to become a superpower that will supplant the United States, and you are helping American crook corporate executives who are shipping jobs overseas to take advantage of slaves. What does this, and an overpriced DVD player, have to do with Jesus?
5. Turn on the TV set. Look at the expensive cars being glorified. Look at the beautiful, supposedly rich, glamorous Hollywood actors portraying successful people giving and getting upscale gifts. It creates envy. You want to be like them. Happiness is not the inner being. It’s how you look, how much you have, and what you spend. Material possessions.
6. It doesn’t take long to figure out that much of the economic growth of the military industrial colossus that the US has become depends on this single event. If you save too much, if you don’t go into high-interest debt, the powers-that-be don’t like it. Like the oil companies, they need you as a sucker.
7. Each year the ritual involves visiting relatives. But not me. My malicious conservative relatives hate my guts and consider me a mama’s boy, a lazy bum, a coward, an anti-American traitor, a weakling and probably a pervert. I only agree with about half of this negative assessment.
8. Statistics show Christmas is the time for suicide and depression psychologically because of the forced gaiety, decorations, inevitable caloric weight gain, tinsel and lights, and because again you don’t have enough money.
9. Jesus wasn’t born on December 25. We don’t even know the exact year of his birth. Who picked the 25th? Everybody crowds airports at the same time to celebrate the not-the-day of Jesus’ birth.
10. Despite personal responsibility, Christmas nevertheless encourages binge alcohol consumption, drunk driving and overeating in an already chronically obese society.
