Not sure if any of you have ever listened to Herman Cain on the radio. I know he is on AM 750 in Atlanta. He is a very conservative black american (not african american ... he was born in the US so he is not african unless you conisder all blacks as africans).

He was sitting in for Bortz this morning so I was listening to him on my drive to the office sitting in Atlanta traffic.

He came up with an acronym for what he sees liberal democrats doing and I though he was right on the mark. He gave several example for each, but I will onle not a couple.

The acronym is S.I.N. ... :) and it stands for the following things that democrats are doing, especially about healthcare.

S = shift the topic. When confronted with difficult questions like the amount of spending all these government programs, they shift the subject to something else and normally start talking about Bush did this or that, he left a deficit, the Iraq war, etc ... rather than respond to the question and say what they are doing and why.

I = ignore the truth and facts. People are coming out against the tye of healthcare reform the dems are proposing. they held tea parties because of the taxes and massive government spending. But the dems dismiss the facts that people don't like what is going on and try to minimize it and say it is not really representative. Yet when liberals protested the Iraq war, they were quick to embrace and say that was represetative of america.

N = name calling. When they have people disagree with them or the tea parties or town hall meetings ... they start with the attacks and name calling trying to make them out to be extreme out of touch people. You saw this with Barney Frank the other day when women asked a very intelligent question and he responded with "what planet do you spend you time on". Is that a way for an elected officiial respond to a tax paying american? There have been very specific name calling that has been over the top and suprising that even democrats would stoop so low.

I think Herman nailed it.
