Cainunism [keyn - yuh - niz - uhm] – noun

1. A theory or system of economic organization based on a wildly optimistic regard for the fiscal discipline of Congress and the President. Adherence to this theory typically requires the suspension of disbelief concerning the ability of increasing the government’s power to tax, without substantive spending cuts, to actually reduce burdens on taxpayers and to produce economic recovery.

2. The intentional use by politicians of resonant slogans which obfuscate and distract some voters from the otherwise conspicuous absence of thoughtful, realistic or realizable fiscal or monetary plans and policies.

In a sentence: “Imagining that a ‘9 - 9 - 9’ percent tax ‘plan’ would not soon be 9.9 - 9.9 - 9.9, then 19 - 19 - 19, and so on, is just more magical Cainunist thinking.”

That was one powerful speech and anyone listening could tell it came from the heart and did you notice; no teleprompter. This man, Herman Cain is just exactly the medicine that America needs to heal the deep wounds of adversity that has been heaped upon this nation by this over-bearing socialistic, un-American president and his entire administration. Cain has the fire and the guts that this country needs and I hope and pray that America is smart enough to put this man in that oval office. He is a real conservative with real conservative ideas and solutions and he is definetly a man who believes in and upholds the Constitution. He is also a man of moral principles. I don't know about anyone else, but I can see Herman Cain as our next president. Anything less would be an injustice to our country. I haven't seen one other candidate with the fire, determination, and honesty that I have seen in Herman Cain. I have hoped for someone like Ronald Reagan to run for president. Well, it seems to me that this one comes in a dark chocolate wrapper. No offense, Mr. Cain. I said it and meant it in an affectionate way. Actually, President Cain has a pretty good ring to it.
