A few weeks ago, I publicly declared we weren't going to seriously follow the Cain campaign anymore. I am breaking that vow for obvious reasons. Today, in a performance as obtuse as it was narcissistic, Herman Cain announced that he was "suspending" his bid for the American Presidency.
Over the course of what Rachel Maddow called his "performance art" campaign, Cain did provide the nation with two valuable contributions; We discussed widely, and for the first time in the broader critical community, the possibility of implementing a "flat tax." His "999" plan helped educate the American people to the fact that flat tax proposals are little more than schemes to benefit paternalistic, crony Capitalism and to further the creation of an American aristocracy. They always have been. What's more, Cain's run allowed the voters of this country to see just how vicious the "family-values" party is willing to be (as shown HERE, HERE,HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE) when they aren't exploiting the peccadilloes of liberal womanizers when their predations are made public.
That the final straw for the GOP base seems to have been an alleged consensual extramarital relationship and not the allegations of harassment and possibly even sexual assault against numerous women should give us all pause. Barbara J. Risman addresses this HERE.
Cain still refuses to take any responsibility whatsoever. He just can't seem to "blame himself."
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
