Roger Williams (R-TX) for Congress

Roger Williams, a congressional Republican candidate from Weatherford, Texas recorded this great ad. Democrats don't like it, tried to have it removed from a Ft. Worth TV station serving that congressional district. They claim it is demeaning ... I wish this guy was running in my district - I'd vote for him in a heartbeat as he seems to not only know what the problem is, but has a sense of humor as well.

Anti-Capitalism Protests

So Called "Wall Street Movement". No surprises here, as the Democrats are reportedly seeking to "own" the Wall Street Demonstrations that have risen not only in New York but other major cities as well.

What's not to like about this movement? Organized by liberal groups and unions,.......no platform other than hating wall street and capitalism,...... seemingly pissed off because they (the demonstrators) aren't successful.......most of them either having no jobs or being paid or funded by the union to demonstrate.

Does anyone know what their platform is other than to tax (over tax) the so called rich? And of course, the "rich" is a code word for anyone who makes $200,000 or $250,000 a year. Which is much, much more than what I make, but I am not in the least oriented towards begrudging anyone their salaries or perks, or retirement plans. We all know that the "rich" are the people making payroll, expanding businesses, and creating jobs,......and God knows that most of the union workers have exceptional retirement packages which have, in part, made prices here rise and caused some companies to go over seas for labor in order to even stay afloat.

So lets make sure the Dems own it:

President Obama said: "The protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works,".

"I support the message to the establishment," said House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-CA. "Change has to happen. We cannot continue in a way that does not - that is not relevant to their lives. People are angry."

Did you see the news report of film maker Michael Moore in the midst of the Anti-Capitalist Protestors on Wall Street?? Moore was running his big fat mouth about people making money at the expense of the people, yaga yada yada,....here is the guy who has made millions off the free market economy,...and yes by inflammatory rhetoric and lies on films he has written, produced and/or directed.

Herman Cain - An Impressive Resume

What you may not know about Herman Cain who is running for president......Thanks Tom for sending. Herman Cain is NOT a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). Mr Cain has been quoted as saying "All we have sent to Washington D.C. is politicians,.....how has that worked out for us so far?" He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him. He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy......and Cowboy's hope that he will be the President guy.

Here’s his bio:

* Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
* Master’s degree in Computer Science.
* Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
* Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
* VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).

All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!

* Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.
* Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.
* In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.
* He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.

Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!

* Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.
* Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.

After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!

* Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.
* Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).

He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—

STACK THAT UP AGAINST THE 'COMMUNITY ORGANIZER'....

Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.

And on top of that, he seemingly won the Republican debate on Tuesday 11 October.

Chris Moody of The Ticket wrote on Yahoo! News:


There was one clear winner from Tuesday's Republican presidential debate, based on the simple metrics of name recognition: businessman Herman Cain's "9-9-9 Plan."

Virtually all the candidates at the debate table had something to say about Cain's plan to replace the tax code with three, flat nine-percent federal taxes on consumption, business and income. Cain, once delegated to the remote wings of the debate stage, has enjoyed a surge in the polls ever since he won the straw poll in Orlando, Fla., last month, and at the first debate since he joined former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the top tier, Cain and his policy proposals took up more of the debate's time than the ideas floated by any other candidate.

Of course, this isn't to say that any of them praised Cain's idea. Far from it. In fact, everyone who had an opportunity took shots at the plan.

Former Utah Gov. Huntsman reduced it to "a catchy phrase" and joined former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in saying it would never be signed into law.

Cowboy's Comment: Cain's response to Santorum,......"That's how politician's think,.....what can and cannot be signed into law because of politics. I'm a businessman,....I think of what HAS to be done."
