Herman Cain: 'Stupid people and ignorant people are ruining America'

Cain....a prime example of how stupidity is ruining America...and not smart enough to realize he makes his own case...

LOL! Thanks for starting my morning off with a chuckle Love!

So Mr. Uz-becky-becky-becky-beckistan thinks that the people running the country and those who support them are stupid and ignorant. Well Herm, glad we had you to tell us what you think of the republican led congress, yup DM Herm tells it like it is alright, the republicans are trying to ruin this country and the repubs in the house and senate are certainly ignorant and stupid. Wow, if it hadn't been for Herm's insight I never would have known this!

And he recommends buying more pizza to solve our nation's problems.

Now that may be the only smart thing the man has said, as long as it isn't his pizza, what crap!

I was going to comment but Herman Cain is grinning that grin.....grabbing me by my panties....gotta go.

“Stupid and ignorant people are ruining America,”

He is right in that part but he's gotta look at his own party to find the idiots.

Oh great...."The pot calling the kettle black".

Good Morning Lov, (TGIF)

” Cain said. “We must outsmart the people who are trying to ruin this country.” “Stupid and ignorant people are ruining America, and running it."

The mentality of the Republican Party, shows us how they feel about America as we know it. You have watched the news, you have watched what the G.O.P. House has done the last four years, and they call us stupid. Lets see the real stupid walk away after the November elections, with 4 more years

Good luck outsmarting anybody but yourself, Mr. Cain.

”We must outsmart the people who are trying to ruin this country.”

And the right accuses liberals of intellectual elitism? Well, I supposed we're guilty as charged if Cain suggests that strategy!

So, there is no Cain/CPAC assessment and/or indignation for the stupid Bush Administration agendas that contributed greatly to our economic plight, huh?

CPAC = easily lead over the cliff by liars, frauds, and butt holes

StevG - How goes it brother?

Hey, what happens when a stupid person (Ann Coulter) and an ignorant person (Herman Cain) mate?

"Stupid people and ignorant people are ruining America" - He should know, he was speaking to them at CPAC.

HappyToSeeYa,

"and butt holes"

Have we come back around to that already? :-)

Herman Cain is so smart, he even confuses himself "wait what were we talking about again?"

I hope Herman doesn't forget, when pointing the finger, there are three fingers pointing back at YOU...in which case he is right! Especially those that took his earlier advice for being poor and falling on hard times; "THEY blame themselves", as instructed!

I don't think we need to waste time with the blame game, WE NEED SOLUTIONS...

Morning CPO, how is it hang-en,

I have a hard time swallowing what some people call pizza, or in actuality Republican Popcorn,

All hot air, and no substance

And in regards to (Ann Coulter), who would mate with her anyway

It's always a sing of intelligence when one frequently speaks in the third person. buckeyenut knows this to be true.

"Stupid and ignorant people are ruining America," Cain posited "— and running it."

I wish I had the time to run down there. I would have liked to have heard the tone of his voice. I'm going back and forth trying to decide whether he was complaining about Progressives - or giving the audience a progress report on their own efforts and verbally patting themselves on their backs.

GOP/TP are crazies. But where could they go? The left moved to the middle.

Obama just let off the banksters again with a 25 billion settlement.

I am pretty desolutioned with all the politics. Its just Obama is just more rational then other other lot. He seems to delegate just like GWB.

I think he is afraid of Wall street.

The man behind the 7-7-7 plan which just about every economist in the country called unworkable and misguided is calling out people for being ignorant?

While I agree many of us are ignorant, including myself when it comes to many aspects of politics, as someone running for office it was his job to rise above that and try and educate us. Give us a lesson in what we should be doing. Instead he took an unworkable plan that had a catchy slogan and tried to sell it based on the ignorance of the electorate.

Big business runs America. They could set mass layoffs in motion that could destroy any political entity. Their actions in early '09 were a demonstration of this fact and they still hold that gavel.

Andrew,

Nine, Nine, Nine.

I'm not telling you no, I'm saying the plan was 9,9,9 which also coincides with "get two hot fresh pizzas with one topping for (you guessed it, $9.99)"

Obama just let off the banksters again with a 25 billion settlement.

As I understand things - nobody was 'let off'. The $25 billion was a 'down payment'. No deal has been struck to prevent future civil or criminal prosecution or further fines. In fact, there is an investigative unit led by NY AG Eric Schneiderman looking into additional wrongdoings by the bank and the SEC is continuing to look into things as well. As the Washington Post reports,

The officials who crafted Thursday's settlement were careful to leave the door open to a wide range of future litigation, despite efforts by banks to shield themselves from such legal actions. It allows for future actions over fair-housing and fair-lending violations, as well as civil rights claims. It doesn't bar individuals from joining class-action lawsuits. Nor does it limit the lawsuits that private investors can file in search of damages, some of which have already been launched.

No stupid people leading this effort.

The officials who crafted Thursday's settlement were careful to leave the door open to a wide range of future litigation

You mean people who are most likely attorneys kept the door open for future litigation? That almost never happens.

Nine, Nine, Nine.

My bad. With 7-7-7 I must have been channeling the slogan from his now debunked 2016 re-election bid when he proposed additional tax-cuts to eliminate the huge budget deficit created by his 2012 institution of 9-9-9.

buckeyenut -

Aaah - I appreciate the sarcasm. Good one. But ... as I'm sure you know ... it almost always happens that settlements close the door to future litigation. Contrast this settlement with the 1998 tobacco settlement - or to any SEC settlement.

And - since the settlement was crafted by the Justice Department, signed onto by 49 state AGs (OK's AG reached a separate agreement with the 5 banks), and has to be approved by a judge - I'd say you're safe in saying that "most likely" attorneys were involved in crafting the settlement. Good call!

Yep, no dummies in this group.

And yet...

Cain and all of his little cronies in the GOP want to cut education further....

*facepalm!

ERich -

I think I'm beginning to see a pattern to Cain's thoughts: cut taxes to increase revenue -> cut education to increase knowledge. There's a certain consistency there. Can't you just see them looking at each other and nodding at the obviousness of the concept?

Soph,

I must say I'm surprised at you. I mean, I totally agree with Herman. Stupid people are ruining America. Now, the fact that they're overwhelmingly in the Republican Party is secondary to the argument and makes it no less valid.

Too bad he didn't put family first when he was schtooping his employee/friend.

You forgot to mention, Mr Cain, that your book tour -I mean you presidental campaign- was affecting your sales... Only reason why you were in the gutter is because you put yourself there...media just nudged ya along

The officials who crafted Thursday's settlement were careful to leave the door open to a wide range of future litigation, despite efforts by banks to shield themselves from such legal actions.

Nor does it limit the lawsuits that private investors can file in search of damages, some of which have already been launched.

Are you so sure? What has history shown us? Always settling out of court. All the top 10 banks have settled out of court each time. They find the bank accountable not the banksters inside the bank who crafted the mess. They print out garbage that is hard to understand when the scams were simple. When if it was me or you. We would be going to jail. I think you can believe the lies all you like. The glass steagall act would of stopped this. The people who claim it would not just plainly lie. That is the game. Everyone lies about how good it is now. Lets look at the mess. 20 million homes owned by the banks. Then another 20 million mortgages in foreclosure , then 20 million more homes serving the mortgage. Now you see 60 million homes in MERs. Now lets just make a ruff guess. Say each house is worth 200k

200 000 x 10 000 000 x 6= 12 000 000 000 or 12 trillion in MERs. At least 12 Trillion in MERs.

Now We look at 4 Trillion owned by the banks, 4 Trillion in foreclosure.

Then the value of 750 billion in the loss in values? Even that figure does not make sense?

These people just out right lie. We can even figure out the costs.

Just again. The scam was simple. They set up a loan that they work out you can not pay. Then they get you to sign up for it. You fail and then they get the next sucker.

That was one scam. Then we have the scam about valuing the property. Then we have the scam that values the property higher so they can get the phoney profits.

Can you see how much scaming there is? What did they settle out of court?

Who is paying the fines? Its the american 401ks are paying the fines. These guys did the perfect crime.

I think you misunderstand what has happened so far. All the top 10 banks have been serial abusers of fraud, theft, deception , cronyism ,accounting control fraud, and scam aristry.

I make this up? Obama even says it.

Lets look at what Obama said, I quote.if you're a mortgage lender or a payday lender or a credit card company, the days of signing people up for products they can't afford with confusing forms and deceptive practices — those days are over.

Ok. Now go and read your credit card statement. See how much it has improved. Can you understand it? Has the jargon been cut out of it? What about your telephone bill? Has the jargon been cut out of it? Where are the reforms? Its easy to talk.

The simplicity we see is simply this. The money should not of been lent if the person was not credit worthy. The set them up to fail with interests they knew they could not afford. They wanted this crash. The dreamed it up.

Herman Cain: 'Stupid people and ignorant people are ruining America'

Yes Hermy Germy Cain, we all know you did your fair share in contributing in ruining America. Thanks for the head up, and now we all know why "YOU" are truly a loser and never would have become a president of the USA. All the smart ones knew you were a burden and a failure of the people.

touché

"Stupid ignorant people"? Just like Herman Cain!

Stupid people wanted the patriot act to keep them safe putting the constitution second.

Stupid people said death panels and spread propaganda.

Stupid people think about themselves not we the people when seeking public offices.

Stupid people are intolerant and use filibusters which proves it.

Stupid people start wars under false pretense.

Stupid people say they are job creators who also take millions of jobs away.

Stupid people cheat and lie to wives.

Stupid people will say anything to make themselves sound better.

Oklahoma was the lone holdout.

Only AG who was not a traitor. All the 49 AGs are sold and paid for. These people are criminals.

The worst part of it, they lie. This statute of limitations has been argued about since the crisis started. This is what they gamed it on. They knew it.

Did Obama change the statute of limitations of holding financial records by the banks? When someone commits crimes they hold records. These banks need to be forced to hold onto there financial records for 20 years.

Obama is a sham. We have a two tier system for the rich and FBI goes after the small guy. Then is proud of itself.

I am probably Annoying Soph ha ha.

Sorry.

The lie continues. The poor people are constantly scapegoated.

Ahh, Irony, thy name is Cain.

But Mr Cain is absolutely right. Stupid and ignorant people ARE ruining America. That's why people like Mr Cain need to just sit down and shut up.

He's about as smart as the pizzas he delivers.

johny -

Oklahoma only 'held out' from signing the agreement that others signed. The OK AG signed a separate agreement.

Look - you seem to have a lot of questions and issues regarding the settlement. You can find a lot of information about it here. A link to the text of the settlement will be added soon.

Soph's article is about Cain and his wacky statements. Let's move any more discussion of the bank settlement to another article so we won't derail hers. Thanks.

Yes, and Caine is living proof!

Yes, and Caine is living proof!

Then, Practice what you Preach, Mr. Cain.

“Stupid and ignorant people are ruining America,” Cain posited

But Herman - without them, there would be no Republican base. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Look at all the people not able to appreciate the Herman Cain Art Project.

Stupid and ignorant people are ruining America

...

at CPAC

If there was ever a place for someone to point out that stupid and ignorant people are ruining America, it was at CPAC.

Stupid and ignorant people are ruining their chances to be President.

soph.. looks like your troll is back,,

Soph, you are supposed to be self moderating Grenade Trolling. Don't worry, I'll report them. Grenade Trolling is defined by the Vine as allowing for name calling of general parties intended to provoke a response, for example "Republicans/CPAC/GOP are the ones Cain was referring to" would be Grenade Trolling. You know this is supposed to be moderated, yet you refuse to do it unless someone uses a negative adjective towards the liberal party, why is this?

Former presidential candidate Herman Cain triumphantly took the stage at CPAC this afternoon in front of a friendly crowd to explain something many attendees already believe: that their ideological opponents on the left aren’t “misguided” (as Sen. Rand Paul later offered) but downright stupid.

First he calls liberals "downright stupid" then

“We must outsmart the liberals,” Cain said. “We must outsmart the people who are trying to ruin this country.”

So he obviously doesn't think they are "outsmarting" liberals now, so if you aren't "outsmarting" somebody and obviously haven't been for quite some time....What does that say about you......

If there ever was a subject Hermie is an expert in, it is being stupid and ignorant.

Mao- Thank you for demonstrating for all that the right has no interest, and no ability, to debate an idea on the merits of logic and reason. You lash out with simplistic insults toward other viners, calling them "lefty nit wits" and wonder why your posts get collapsed and deleted?

Take a moment now and re-read (or just read) the Code of Honor.

When you're ready for an adult discussion, we'll all be right here waiting for you.

Oh great...."The pot calling the kettle black".

Absolutely. However the pot is not wrong. He's just not any smarter.

...said the man who, before he dropped out, was the most proudly stupid and ignorant candidate in the Republican field.

I had to add. I know Obama is better then anything in the GOP. I don't have all the answers. The Mortgage settlement means No convictions period .

Its a big task. Yea Obama has other things to worry about. I will say that I understand he has an obstructionist congress. He has to do reforms here and there. There are all these people trying to trick him and lie and manipulate him. Yea I get that.

Though the buck stops with him.

The people that compare treatments for quality of life, such as heart medications and procedures like chemotherapy and stents to birth control are perfect examples of what he said.

I was trying to decide which thread best illustrated GOP idiocracy. I picked this one.

GOP psychosis is characterized by projection.

Cain is correct - here's a sampling:

It sounds like he's talking about himself and extreamist GOP!

He's is, that dog whistle talk for please let me on that bandwagon!

He is history - BANNED

Oh great...."The pot calling the kettle black".

Its the pot calling the pot black.

If Cain thinks ignorant people are ruining the country maybe he should move to Uzbeckibeckistan

Love all the comments attacking Cain's "stupidity" from this board. Here's a guy that raised himself up from janitorial duties to a CEO of Godfathers Pizza among other things, yet the Liberal response is, "I can't believe how stupid this man is!" lol

Here's a guy that raised himself up from janitorial duties to a CEO of Godfathers Pizza among other things,

Either he should know better or the requirements to be a CEO of Godfather's Pizza are not that high. No one is making this man foolish, but himself.

Recent studies have shown that liberals are in fact smarter. When people make fun of academics and intellectuals, they call them liberal elitists. So Cain is 100%. He's talking about himself.

Love all the comments attacking Cain's "stupidity" from this board

He is the victim of his own rant. Nobody brings him to the stage but himself.

Your not going to win Cob the Crazed. A liberal mind will just take an argument such as yours, call CEO's stupid, or perhaps make fun of the pizza chain, and then continue to insult. It would be alughable if it weren't so sad!!

It's not that he hasn't been capable in his business life. He's just been willfully ignorant and stupid in his political life. He's chosen to be stupid, but that's still stupidity.

call CEO's stupid

Trust me my friend, I've seen a lot of stupid CEO's in my life. It beats the crap out of me some of these get paid to be. They shipped jobs to China, killed the middle class in America, almost tank the economy and now they want the government to protect their copy right. If that is not shortsighted stupid, what is?

If that is not shortsighted stupid, what is?

Someone with zero marketable skills complaining that they deserve $20 an hour.

What do I win?
