The world has been on the edge of its seat for the past several weeks in anticipation of who former GOP candidate Herman Cain would endorse for President of the United States of America. He promised that his would be an “unconventional”<\/em> endorsement.<\/p>\n

But the wait is over. At the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Cain finally delivered on his promise. So who got the nod?<\/p>\n

Herman Cain:<\/strong> “Here is my unconventional endorsement. Not a candidate seeking the nomination. Not someone that’s not running. My unconventional endorsement is “The People.”<\/em> We the people of this nation are still in charge. That’s who I’m endorsing, because we are the ones who are gonna have to lead this revolution. We are the ones who are gonna be able to take our power back. I’m endorsing the people. The people who started this country. We have allowed the politicians to take it away from us. And the message is real simple: This revolution is gonna have to be driven from the bottoms up.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Herman<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

That’s right. The People! Let’s examine this unconventional endorsement in more detail.<\/p>\n

Cain stated that he is not endorsing a candidate, and “Not someone that’s not running.”<\/em> So apparently he thinks that The People is running.<\/p>\n

Cain stated that he is endorsing “The people who started this country.”<\/em> So apparently he thinks that George Washington et al are available to accept the nomination.<\/p>\n

And finally, he stated that “This revolution is gonna have to be driven from the bottoms up.”<\/em> So apparently he thinks this is some sort of drinking game (one shot every time he says “The People.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Since Cain has taken this extraordinary measure to endorse The People, he should be aware that The People overwhelmingly support preserving Social Security and Medicare; they support higher taxes for the rich; they favor addressing the issues of income inequality and jobs over tax cuts and deficits; they are fed up with the notion that money equals speech; and despite the rightist cry that corporations are people, The People do not regard them as such.<\/p>\n

If Cain were smart he would have endorsed Stephen Colbert. But as it stands he may have taken on more than he can chew because he may have endorsed The People, but The People have most decidedly not endorsed him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
