Why Are The Koch's Supporting Cain? What's The Game Here?

Do they think they can get this stooge into office and have a puppet on a string?

1. Wasn't it initially about dividing African-Americans?

Whatever. Divide and conquer shit. But the question becomes who conquers whom? Cain v. Obama? Romney v. Obama?
Just about ready to go bury my head in the sand again, as I'm so tired of this BS.

2. Yes, I do believe they think they have a friend or puppet with Cain.

Then there are the enormous tax cuts he has offered them. If by some disaster Cain wins, the Rs maintain the House and the Rs grab control of the Senate, they will abolish the filibuster and his crazy and destructive tax plan will become law. Cain will become Nero once that happens.

3. It is just more of the door in the face sales technique.

For instance, He thinks women should die with their high risk babies. Then, Mitt looks downright centrist. ETC. Also, the closet bigots, are able to go much further in their hate, when they have the some of my best friends{hermie} all wrapped up. Also, Hermie can make the initial hate claims, cuz he's black. No other rethug could weather saying it is your own damn fault if you arent rich.

4. They are directing our attention away from their real goal

They have more than enough money to throw around to get us looking in the wrong direction. If we can't see their goals now, we soon will.

5. Absolutely, they think they can buy the WH! And the are pretty good

at making those kinds of choices. After all, W was in the WH for 8 years and they got used to having the power and the access. It is an aphrodesiac, all that power.

6. There is no 'game'.

The current crop of Republican primary contenders are simply the bottom of the barrel.

There is no conspiracy and no plan. They are truly an incompetent bunch.

If you think otherwise, maybe you've been reading too many super-villain books. (Meant with all the respect in the world, BTW.)

7. Cain came right out and admitted that he's bought and paid for

by the Kochs when he called himself their "brother from another mother" yesterday.

9. It's their lip service to: It don't matter who carries the water if the water gets carried.

And, no, they have NO expectation that he will actually win anything, neither the nomination nor the election. So far, only the dimwit Wingnut Elizabeth HASSELBECK has been honest enough among the wingnuts to proclaim that CAIN is just like the other "primary Princes" who are allowed their momentary spotlight while everybody knows he or she will NEVER go farther.

The KOCHs and the rest who are claiming to support CAIN are just covering their true contempt. And in the other scenario, that he actually wins and is their puppet, they KNOW that worms can TURN and that if he got the trappings of power he just might cut their strings for his own greed.

10. I think they wanted to get the flat tax meme out there and structure people's brains to be accepting

of it. What better way than a 15 month long advertisement which is the nomination process.
