		<title>Herman Cain&#8217;s timeline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<div>
<p>Missing from the allegations of sexual harassment by Herman Cain are most, not all, of the details. One important detail that I have not heard brought up yet has been any timeline. From what I understand, the accusers are either federal employees or lobbyists. Probably very sympathetic with Democrats or left wing causes.</p>
<p>Herman Cain doesn&#8217;t appear to be shy about expressing his political views. He is not a liberal and never has pretended to be. During the Clinton presidency, when these accusations occurred, Herman Cain became a celebrity for asking an embarrassing question during a Clinton town hall meeting. Was that before or after these ladies complained. President Bubba could do no wrong to the left in this country, and these accusations could have been a way, in part, to get even with someone who &#8220;dissed&#8221; their hero.</p>
<p>President Clinton was also involved in sexual harassment charges himself. The information available today has numerous sexual harassment, as well as sexual assault allegations and even a few accusations of forcible rape. Don&#8217;t mention this around one of his fans because they will hate you for bringing these facts up. Maybe Herman Cain brought up unspeakable facts about the beloved Bill Clinton during his NRA meetings and some ladies didn&#8217;t like it.</p>
<p>This may seem a bit farfetched but have a conversation with any leftist and you will find a venom coming from them against anyone who disagrees with their belief or heroes that will scare the hell out of you. So I ask, what was the timeline?</p>

		<title>Screw the Rich</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Obama,</p>
<p>I know you feel that there are too many wealthy people in the United States. Maybe you are correct. Try this. Instead of just taxing them into poverty, why not try a free market approach? You have appointed a few centerist economic advisors. Why not?</p>
<p>I called my doctor and needed an appointment with a specialist. The first appointment is in 3 months. Doctors are busy and they are rich. Can you stop limiting the number of US trained medical doctors in this country? I end up seeing someone from India anyway. Please, double the number of US citizens medical students and our citizens won&#8217;t have to go to school in Mexico to work here. The price of health care will fall. Less rich people is what you want, more MD&#8217;s is what we want. We both win. </p>
<p>Same with other high paying occupations. Sciences, math, and on and on.</p>
<p>While you are at it. Give a few poor people a break. Not with a welfare check (or &#8220;tax&#8221; break). Just stop importing competition from other countries that lower their wages.Mabe they can obtain a &#8220;living wage&#8221; and the minimum wage will not even be necessary. Less poor Americans and the taxpayers don&#8217;t suffer for it. </p>
<p>Assuming that is really what you want.</p>

		<title>Humiliation works</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Remember when the Red Cross raised money after 911 and then announced it was really just a donation and not for the victims of 911? The outcry made them change their minds.  </p>
<p>Union card check is very unpopular with voters.</p>
<p>Democrats positions on immigration are unpopular as well. Adding half a million foreign work visas, ending e-verify for employment, not completing a border fence a majority of Americans demand, Tax payer paid health care for illegals, amnesty for the 12 million here now&#8230;All while the country is experiencing a recession and rising unemployment.</p>
<p>McCain&#8217;s amnesty bill was stopped because of public outrage. They did not appreciate this being rammed down their throats by elite politicians. They had to be reminded that they represent us. I doubt it worked. They just didn&#8217;t like getting caught.</p>
<p>So let me ask, what do you think are the top few issues democrats support that are so unpopular with the voters (not just Republicans, ALL voters) that can be stopped in this way?</p>
<p>Humiliation works. Besides, it also is all we have left.</p>

		<title>Loyalty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>I voted for John McCain. I held my nose because  Obama was worse. Now the election is over and I would like to ask a question. How much loyalty do Republicans owe John McCain?</p>
<p>Republicans have been more than loyal to him than he has been to us. He fought against the Bush tax cuts. He fought for a very unpopular immigration amnesty bill. He destroyed Republican fund raising with his anti free speech campaign finance reform. He has spent so much time over the past 8 years on television news shows trashing Republicans and reaching out to Democrats that he was considered for Kerry&#8217;s VP.</p>
<p>The threat of a primary opponent is all we have to keep any of our own Republican elected officials in line. If it is going to be business as usual and John McCain decides to go back and carry the  water for the Democrats, then something should be done.</p>
<p>So, how loyal should we be?  Are we obligated to keep EVERY candidate just because they currently occupy a Senate seat and run under the Republican banner?  Once elected can they do ANYTHING they want? What is the point of winning an election only to have your candidate surrender to the opposition the minute he gets to Washington?</p>
<p>I am curious to know what the limits, if any, are of loyalty to McCain or anyone else in the Republican party.</p>

		<title>CHUMP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t hang around Starbucks with the little metro-sexuals and there yuppie show wives. The real world. The conservative Republicans an Reagan Democrats have been talking about this in the bars and coffee shops for years. \</p>
<p>AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF BEING THE WORLD&#8217;S CHUMP.</p>
<p>The world hates us but demands bailouts. Since WW2 they expect it. We owe them.</p>
<p>Great Britan OWES US a trillion dollars (plus interest) for WW2 but wanted money for a PanAm plane that was blown up by terrorists in the 80&#8242;s. US-Semi Cump. They are the only ones there when we need them.</p>
<p>NATO. We spend hundreds of billions a year to keep Europeans from killing each other. We are a free 911 emergancy service. Bosnia? Europian problem but NATO does the job. America needs help? Forget about German airspace. Amerians pay, fight and die. Right now there are big complainsts among NATO troups. Only American and British are really there. The rest. Freeloaders. US-Chump.</p>
<p>ISREAL. I AM pro Isreal. Alwasys have been. I was very upset in the 80&#8242;s when the government of Israel demanded that we pressure Russia for more Jewish emmigration. America  agreed, but the Russians wanted to go to the US and not Israel Israel demanded that Russian Jews be forced to immigrate to Isreal. We agreed and then were sent a bill by Israel for settling the immigrants they demanded sent there. I am sorry, but seventy eight per cent of American Jews vote Democrat.  Can we at least have a talk with them? Republicans are the only ones who stand up for Isreal.</p>
<p>TRADE. The playing field is not level. I am a free trader, but Pleaaaase. We treat ALL countries the same regardless of how they treat us.Screw free trade. Fair trade means we do unto others as they do unto us. Got a problem with that?</p>
<p>IMMIGRATION: Too much to even write about here.</p>
<p>I do not believe I am the only one who hates being an American Chump.</p>
<p>Let me know of other examples of America being taken advantage of. Maybe this can be a new Republican cause.</p>

		<title>Pay to train your competition?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Obama mentioned his Obama Youth League during the campaign. Universal community service could be achieved by forcing universities to require students to perform an amount of &#8220;volunteer&#8221; service as a requirement for graduation. (I doubt that military service would count). This can be done legally since the universities are highly subsidized by the Federal government.</p>
<p>Well, the Institute for International Education (IIE) has come out with a report on foreign student enrollment in our college and Universities. The numbers will shock you. MIT (30%),Ill. Inst. of Tech (42%), Polytech Inst. of NY (35%), NJ Inst Tech (20%) and the list goes on and on. Especially high are the numbers for Engineering, Math and computer sciences. These are not jobs Americans won&#8217;t do. These are high paying jobs Americans can&#8217;t get.</p>
<p>More disturbing is that we are paying for it. University scholarships are the major source of financial aid for foreign students.</p>
<p>We should be demanding that Universities cap the number of foreign students  and foreign scholarships as a condition of federal aid. This is a no brainer that most of the public would agree with.</p>
<p>This issue is tailor made for Republicans, especially during a recession. Talk about supplying the rope to hang ourselves with.  I think Americans are fed up with  being the world&#8217;s &#8220;chump&#8221;.</p>
<p>You can find the report here  http://opendoors.iienetwork.org/?p=131531<br />
