Title: Herman Cain = Washington lobbyist
Post by: 240 is Back on October 24, 2011, 10:35:18 AM

Great experience.  I thought he was a washington outsider.  This is kinda cool, to think that he has worked with Newt, RJ Reynolds tobacco, and others in DC for years.

  I've read a few articles about how much of his "campaign staff" are/were members of Americans For Prosperity. So much for getting big money out of politics.

Like I've been saying, everyone on the GOP list besides Paul is just status quo clowns, there will be zero difference if we elect any of them.
