people who, in effect, killed Hillarycare:

The Clintons would later blame “Harry and Louise,” the fictional couple in the ads aired by the insurance industry, for undermining health reform. But the real saboteurs are named Herman and John. Herman Cain is the president of Godfather’s Pizza and president-elect of the National Restaurant Association. An articulate black entrepreneur, Cain transformed the debate when he challenged Clinton at a town meeting in Kansas City, Mo., last April. Cain asked the president what he was supposed to say to the workers he would have to lay off because of the cost of the “employer mandate.” Clinton responded that there would be plenty of subsidies for small businessmen, but Cain persisted. “Quite honestly, your calculation is inaccurate,” he told the president. “In the competitive marketplace it simply doesn’t work that way.”

The switchboard at Godfather’s was lit up with supportive calls. It was as if the small business community — a very large and politically powerful group — had been told to march on Washington. Cain, said Larry Neal, an aide to Sen. Phil Gramm, “was the lightning rod.”

While Cain looks the part of a striving small businessman, John Motley, chief lobbyist for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), looks like, well, a Washington lobbyist. But he’s one of the smarter ones. He understood that the real battle would not be fought on the TV airwaves or at the expense-account restaurants of Washington but back home, in the districts of members of Congress. Motley mobilized thousands of small businessmen, including “the Guardians” (the NFIB’s 40,000 most reliable members), to work their local representatives. Armed with computer files showing pertinent facts — like whether certain members of Congress had kids who worked as waiters in the summer — the NFIB and the restaurant association went after their targets. Rick and Ralph Tevis, owners of Tevis’s Restaurant in Topeka, Kans., talked to one of their regular customers — Rep. Jim Slattery, a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee. Slattery came out against universal coverage.

The NFIB was also effective in lobbying other lobbying groups. They had small businessmen lean on their doctors — and before long, the AMA, dissed by the Clintons, came out against employer mandates. The NFIB pressured the Chamber of Commerce by urging small businessmen to quit in protest of the chamber’s support of employer mandates. When the chamber’s dues began to drop precipitously, the chamber, too, reversed its position in February. A day before, the Business Roundtable had also slammed the employer mandate.

Something tells me Herman Cain would also be able to show the American people — in debates with Opuppet — what John McCain either would not or could not do: that Opuppet is a dangerous man with dangerous ideas and how those dangerous ideas, such as socialized medicine, are unconstitutional and destroying America.

Thank you.

Alas, it did not.

But, at least it worked in the body!

McCain/Palin 201012

Thank you.

ColdWarrior

I hope some of them will use their skills and dazzle us with a few possible Cain for President” bumper stickers and campaign logos that recycle the 2010 McCain and McCain/Palin stickers and logos.

Hint, hint.

Thank you.
