Herman Cain Uncovers Obama's Secret Plot To Get Impeached

Source: TPM


Herman Cain took the conservative rhetoric of "impeachment bait" to the next level on Thursday by theorizing that President Obama is actually trying to get impeached in order to "laugh at the Republicans."

"I believe that he'll do it, and here's why," Cain explained in a radio interview. "First, it's going to stimulate some lawsuits and he knows that it'll take time for those lawsuits to make their way through the court system."

"So they'll play upon the slowness of the justice system," he said. "The whole reason that he would do that is to try and get the Hispanic vote of November of this year."

"They are padding Democrat votes for this upcoming election," he added.

The former presidential candidate and current radio host delivered the remarks in an interview with Trunews, which touts itself as "the only newscast reporting the countdown to the second coming of Jesus Christ."

I sure hope so! I missed you so much Herman! Your goofy antics in 2011-12 almost made me start watching television again.

Try and get Hispanic vote to pad Democratic votes since the GOP has already said Democrats have been padding the votes. Maybe he slept through the first part of a meeting and did not hear this in the past years. The voter fraud I have heard about has been committed by Republicans. Hrrman needs to return to his 999 plan

His comments rarely reflect any evidence of the capacity for rational or intelligent thought. He just opens his mouth and words scramble out, usually words he heard at his last trip to the right wing conference of the month club. That's what happens when everyone gets a turn at the microphone. They start to believe that what they say is relevent to others outside of their one man inner circle.

are proof that in order for a minority to be accepted within the Republican community, they must say and do crazy shit (perhaps crazier than usual).

That the Republicans picked Ryan to sabotage themselves so that the Democrats could usher in austerity.

That is to say, I'm convinced that Herman Cain is determined to make the Republicans look as foolish as he knows them to be. Alternatively, Herman Cain is as foolish as the rest of 'em. Either way, many fools for our amusement.

Since we are going so far to the edge of the cliff, maybe Obama is trying to push judicial nominees? I mean if we are going to make up some crazyass stories why not go for the good ones?
