Cain Says Occupy Wall Street Protesters Should Be ‘Standing in Front of the White House’

Cain Says Occupy Wall Street Protesters Should Be Standing in Front of the White House

During Tuesday’s GOP presidential debate, Herman Cain stood by earlier comments he made asserting that the Occupy Wall Street activists should blame themselves for their financial woes.

Cain also stated that the demonstrators should be camped out in front of the White House protesting President Barack Obama, rather than the bankers on Wall Street.

“They’re directing their anger at the wrong place. Wall Street didn’t put in failed economic policies,” Cain said.

“Wall Street isn’t going around the country trying to sell another $450 billion. They should be standing in front of the White House.”

      Each candidate brought up good concerns about Cain’s plan. The two big problems is 1) is Cain analysis wrong, he calls everyone else wrong, could he be the one that is wrong? 2) Even if he passes his whole plan, even the 2/3 vote on health care, Congress could use reconciliation to up the rate, like they did with healthcare.

      Could Cain be wrong? That is a good one.

      1. He was wrong two weeks before collapse
      http://004eeb5.netsolhost.com/hc126.htm

      2. Just admitted tonight that he was wrong about TARP. Then after he supported this big bailout of the banks, is criticizing people for protesting against wall street. I agree, the blame falls on congress, but the banks were in bed with them. They are just a little misguided.

      3. He was wrong about the Federal Reserve. Said we wouldn’t find anything if we ever audited his Federal Reserve.

      Oh and for all those Ron Paul supporters that are attacking Cain, your guy is worse.

      Look at his newest flip flop and rhetoric exposed:

      1) Flip Flop: calling Hannity and Limbaugh statists and attacking them and when going on Hannity show had to backtrack. This is a one day turn around.

      2) Campaign Rhetoric: Ron Paul is not being ignored by the media, he is denying them interviews. He did it to Hannity, Ingraham, O’Reilly, and they are calling him out for these lies of a MEDIA BLACKOUT…

      Here is the clip from Hannity’s show. He finally accepted the invitation from Hannity after Sean had to go through his son to talk to him. Then he confronted Ron Paul on some lies/flip flops: http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2011/oct/paul_hannity_blackout.html

In fact, Paul said his schedule conflicted with some of these dates. I thought you were going to say he was against TARP but voted for it, or that he was against the recent major financial bill that passed but voted for it, or that he was in favor of the Fed twenty years ago but is now against it.

      America is being sacrificed on the altar of “Globalization” as witnessed by our ever-growing support of ever-expanding “International Entities,” the shredding of our Constitution and personal freedoms, and the never-ending push for open borders and the “free flow of goods, services and people.”

      I’m not endorsing anyone but whats truly sad is this.

      WINTERSET, Ia. – Two weeks away from the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, presidential candidate and Texas Rep. Ron Paul says that U.S. intervention in the Middle East is a main motivation behind terrorist hostilities toward America, and that Islam is not a threat to the nation.
      At a campaign stop on Saturday in Winterset, one man asked Paul how terrorist groups would react if the U.S. removed its military presence in Middle Eastern nations, a move the candidate advocates.
      “Which enemy are you worried that will attack our national security?” Paul asked.
      “If you’re looking for specifics, I’m talking about Islam. Radical Islam,” the man answered.
      “I don’t see Islam as our enemy,” Paul said. “I see that motivation is occupation and those who hate us and would like to kill us, they are motivated by our invasion of their land, the support of their dictators that they hate.”

      Now this little tidbit isn’t sad it just pathetic.

      Regarding 9/11, Paul said that attacks against the U.S. from Middle Eastern groups at home and abroad can be traced to the foreign presence of U.S. troops, as well as America’s relationships with dictator regimes.
      Paul referred to a military base in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, as a key motivator in the Sept. 11th attacks. Osama bin Laden viewed it as an American desecration of holy land.
      “After 9/11, (people said) ‘Oh yeah, it’s those very bad people who hate us,’ but 15 of (the hijackers) came from Saudi Arabia,” said Paul. “One of the reasons they attacked us, is we propped up this Sharia government and the fundamentalists hated us for it.”
      Paul is totally clueless. They attacked us because we were propping up a “Sharia government” and “the fundamentalists hated us for it”? Since when do Islamic “fundamentalists” disapprove of Sharia governments? They attacked us, according to Osama bin Laden, because, among other reasons, we were in his view “prevent[ing] our people from establishing the Islamic Shariah,” not propping up a Sharia state.

      And of course my favorite example as to why this man should be watching the Presidential inauguration from his living room.

      Paul cited a University of Chicago professor, Robert Pape, whose research argues that most of the suicide terrorism in the past 30 years was caused by military occupation. Pape’s research, funded by the Defense Department, shows that suicide bombings in Afghanistan went up one third after the Obama administration surged 30,000 troops into the country.
      Not only is Pape wrong; he’s on the dole of Hamas-linked CAIR.

      Shouldn’t you be at OWS with your friends from code pink?

      Code Pink activist Liz Hurican told Fox News: “The Ron Paul people are closer and closer to our talking points with each election.”

      Ron Paul Spokeswoman Rachel Mills says “Code Pink is actually leaning more in the direction of Ron Paul’s beliefs and politics”, saying the Congressman “is in favor of coalition-building with anti-war groups.”

      And before you go off on some hissy fit along with the rest of you paultards (except okie)

      Let me remind you of something told to Jefferson and Adams over 200 years ago that should make clear that Islam is IN FACT OUR GREATEST THREAT and your boy like the rest of the progressive left haven’t a clue as to the end game they have in mind not only for this country but the world.

      “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
      Ambassador Abd Al-Rahman Tripoli’s ambassador to London in March 1785

      In the 7th through I think the through the 11th century we called them world conquerors followers of Muhammad killing, raping, enslaving and converting millions to their political ideology. In 1785 they were called Pirates. Grrr matey! they were followers of Muhammad. Today we call them Terrorists who are followers of Muhammad. See a freakin pattern here bud?

      Don’t try to bring up the letters of Marque. It doesn’t apply here. You either understand the political ideology of Islam or you dont. Ron Paul does not and in today’s world thats not only dangerous thats just plain ignorant! Kinda like some of you guys. : )

      Economist and former Reagan adviser Arthur Laffer says Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan is a good one.

      “(The) plan was designed to be what economists call ‘static revenue neutral,’ which means that if people didn’t change what they do under his plan, total tax revenues would be the same as they are under our current tax code,” Laffer writes in The Wall Street Journal, adding that he believes that with the boost Cain’s plan would give to economic growth it would bring in even more revenue than expected.

      “Once the dynamics take hold, many of those below the poverty line will find good jobs and thus will rise above the poverty line and start paying taxes,” says Laffer.

      You have no clue about the dichotomy that is the Fed and the United States government.

      The Congress committed an act of insurrection and rebellion when they gave the power to print currency, a vital national security interest, to a privately owned bank called the “Federal” Reserve. That invokes the “insurrection and rebellion clause” of the 14th Amendment, making all debts “owed” to the private Federal Reserve NULL AND VOID.

      WE DON’T OWE THAT MONEY.

      Now, dealing with the Congress is one thing, a separate issue, but dealing with the Federal Reserve is immediate, because THEY RUN THE COUNTRY! There is a SUPERCONGRESS! The Congress is IRRELEVANT!

      Three cheers to Herman Cain!

      Out of all the candidates in the running I trust him the most. People complain that he doesn‘t have any political experience and doesn’t deserve to be President. Well in my book, that thinking is backwards!
      The last thing I want is a seasoned politician for President. They have a tendency to look out for one thing only… getting re-elected. Plus they are too wedded to their parties to be much useful to the country. So as far as I’m concerned, Cain NOT having political experience is a HUGE PLUS!
      One last thing I want to throw out as food for thought… Cain is the ONLY candidate at this point that can beat Obama. Period. End of story.

      Almost the “End of story”… Cain is the ONLY candidate that could take at least 1/3rd of the minority vote from Obama, which would mean a loss for Obama. NONE OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES CAN DO THIS. ONLY CAIN CAN!

      @THEPATRIOTDAVE In this country, in order to win, you do not need 1/3 minority vote, you need the most votes from white males. That’s a fact. So, trying to say another candidate can’t win because of that is not true. Leave the race card at home.

      “Barack Obama, who will be the nation’s first African-American president, won the largest share of white support of any Democrat in a two-man race since 1976 amid a backdrop of economic anxiety unseen in at least a quarter-century, according to exit polls by The Associated Press and the major television networks.” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1108/15297.html

      @PATRIOTDAVE Paul was head to head with Obama by many polls and news media polls. He had the most support from independents also. He also is stealing votes away from Obama by convincing disgruntled democrats to vote for him. He has the best chance against Obama. The mainstream media is trying to ignore him and slander him. They know he would take the most votes away from Obama.

    They should be… They are angry at Bailouts…

    Blame Obama – he forced the bailouts down the banks throats — you didn’t take the money, then you lost your banking license.

    He bailed out GM

    He gives a pass to GE not to pay taxes

    Warren Buffet’s company still owes a billion in back taxes.

    Capitalism doesn’t give bailouts, Socialism gives bailouts. Capitalism has failed, the introduction of Socialism into a Capitalist society is what is wrong.

    You want to blame someone – you blame Obama, you blame Socialism. You want the culprits for causing the housing crisis and foreclosures — Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

    You don’t like all of the new fees banks are imposing – blame Chris Dodd’s financial reform bill.

    Nancy Pelosi voted for the Bailouts as did Frank, and Dodd.

    The Apollo Alliance – Van Jones’ group, they WROTE the bailout bill !!!

    You want to blame someone for the economy, lack of jobs, high unemployment, and banks unwilling to risk going under because of the shacky economy:

    Obama
    Pelosi
    Frank
    Dodd

    Van Jones and the Apollo Alliance.

      They are responsible because they created the mandates that forced banks to give out loans to unqualified buyers. And in return, they said the government would back the loans with Freddie and Fannie. (created by FDR another socialist) In 2008 something like 40% of loans where subprime! If the banks couldn’t pawn these loans off on the government, there is NO WAY THEY WOULD HAVE LENT THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. If the government didn’t implicitly guarantee these loans, other banks wouldn’t have invested in garbage sub prime mortgage securities! They leveraged themselves to this TRASH paper because the government said they guaranteed the money would be GOOD! You ignorance is amazing, and your arrogance at suggesting that WE are the one without the facts, make you seem like a moron to me.

    Gingrich wins again. Cain took heat again, but people will still understand all things considered. They know this country is in trouble. In case anyone noticed, when all the others started talking themsleves up, they were playing into Cain’s hands (basically agree with the premise of his 999 plan-flat and fair.)

    Romney is still running to stand still. Everyone knows he is the favorite son. 3/4′s people dont like favorite sons unless they are not suck ups. Perry is angry and is just throwing spears at his nemesis making Gingrich and Cain look good. Following REagans rule of not putting down your fellow repubs, most flunked.

    Bachman won back some moxy by knowing her stuff but still has no soundbite to explain her plan, and how much a leader over others? eh.

    Cain and Gingrich is who won my heart. Cain for standing tall and actually looking good on other issues people are worried about and had sound answere’s but Gingrich won the whole deal with his knowledge and soundbited response.

    Fact is most that protest are employed, by unions who want more federal government money because they have drained the states budgets. The reason why Herman wants them to go to the White House, which all protesters seem to ignore, is because the man at the White House is the one trying to fill their union coffers at the expense of the taxpayers. Those that are not union members need to go home and vote in 2012.

      His point is that food and products will become cheaper. He is talking about the “hidden” tax. Think of when you buy bread….the wheat was taxed, the farmer was taxed, the baker was taxed, the trucker was taxed, and the store is taxed. So, the cost of bread is mostly taxes. His plan will eliminate these taxes and the cost will be much cheaper.
      No one thinks about the hidden taxes which make everything costly. He will give tax breaks who only use US made products. So, it will even the playing field with China!!
      As far as taxes on people who don’t pay taxes, of course! Everyone deserves equal treatment. Everyone must have their hand in helping instead of helping themselves! So, the folks who do not pay taxes will not vote for him. They just keep voting for us to pay their way in life. They want more and more “free” stuff that we work for.

I have no problem with the Americans that DO pay taxes, the problem is the HUGE number that don’t pay ANY taxes to support this country.

I think Cain has the mental acuity to handle himself well in debates and in interviews, but his proposals are actually kind of lame. In comparison to someone like Rick Perry, though, Herman Cain looks like a freakin’ genius. Cain’s problem is that unless the fat Republican money people like the Koch brothers start throwing money at him, Cain really doesn’t stand a chance. But, then, if that happens Cain will lose much of his independence because he will be beholden to them. Did I answer your question?
