The American Spectator : Campaign Crisis Tests Cain

Doctor Right| 11.10.11 @ 6:25AM

Cain DID do well, as did the rest of the candidates except Huntsman, who has become irrelevant, and Perry, who crashed-and-burned and took his campaign with him.

Perry's supporters will go to Cain or Bachman.

Jack in Wi| 11.10.11 @ 6:56AM

Cain was horrible. He was the most ignorant person standing on the stage. He couldn't answer a straight question. He uses numerology like Louis Farrakhan. He use rhymes like Jesse Jackson and Muhammed Ali. And he preaches and jokes like Al Sharpton. Farrakhan is far better read and far more intelligent. Jackson does a lot better with his rhymes and Sharpton is a somewhat better preacher and demogogue.

Ron Paul dominated the stage last night. I have said it before and I am saying it again. It is Ron Paul or ruin.

I predicted Herman Cain was done weeks ago based on his general ignorance about economics, history, geography, foreign policy, monetary policy and fiscal policy. He could not name one program thathe would cut. He lied his haed off about auditing the Fed in a debate and was outed in minutes. He has been a hopeless shill for the Neocons, the Military Industrial Complex, the banksters, and other bailout artists. His Nein, Nein Nien plan is a huge tax increase on the poor and middle Class and a huge tax decrease for the super rich. Try selling that in the middle of a terrible depression

chuck| 11.10.11 @ 7:09AM

Blah,blah,blah, Ron Paul or ruin........
Heard it before.......way too many times.........
Ain't buying it!

If the MSM and these fools digging up these gold-digging liars can't bring Cain down, you surely aren't going to.

Paul.......4th or 5th in the polls........never above 8%......will never be the nominee.

Will you support the eventual nominee?

Jack in Wi| 11.10.11 @ 7:23AM

I could possibly support Romney. But only after a full debate on the issues, a fair conveention and Romney moving a lot closer to ron paul on foreign policy, monetary policy and fiscal policy. I have said it before that this party and country needs a full debate between the only 2 guys who can beat Obama Romney and Dr. Paul. Throw in Newt Gingrich for a a little intellectual intrest. But Newt is totally unelectable. He has more baggage then went down on the Titanic. Yesterday, in the debate, it came out that, in 2006, Newt got a 300,000 dollar sweetheart consulting deal from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. How many other sweetheart deals did the Bush administration send him to suppliment his lavish Federal pension?

loulou| 11.10.11 @ 11:36AM

Nobody cares who you could possible support so shutup you crashing bore.

vtwin| 11.10.11 @ 12:13PM

Why, it doesn’t matter; Tuesday’s election results from, Maine voter suppression, Ohio assault on the Middle Class, Mississippi attack on women rights, and Arizona blatant racism, demonstrated American rejection of the Radical Right agenda. Unlike 2010, Democrats are motivated, thanks to Walker, Kasich, and Ryan, and enthusiastic thanks to OWS and Tuesday’s victories. Even with unemployment at or near 9% Obama will be seen as capable, experienced, reasonable, and slowly steering the nation out of these troubled waters.

Con Chef (NB) | 11.10.11 @ 12:21PM

That's why Ohio voted down the individual mandate. And the Mississippi proposition failed to garner support from some of the bigger right to life groups because it didn't make the exception for cases of rape & incest & had some birth control restrictions. Had even just the rape/incest provision been inserted, the measure would've passed.

Margie| 11.10.11 @ 1:01PM

Yup.
2.2 Million Ohioans reject Obamacare:

http://www.ohiogop.org/index.p....._amendmen/

vtwin| 11.10.11 @ 1:10PM

As a liberal I would have voted against the individual mandate because it is a sell-out to the healthcare insurance industry.

And, as a liberal I would oppose any restrictions on abortion even with exceptions for rape, incest, life, and heath, but with these exceptions I agreed abortion restrictions are sellable to the middle electorate. I said “Radical Right” whose agenda is not just to STOP abortions but to control women in part through female sexuality by limiting birth control.

PhilTheCapitalistPig| 11.10.11 @ 2:00PM

You're an idiot. The mandate destroys the health insurance industry and moves everyone into the state run plan.

Don't speak on subjects you know nothing about. When it comes to employee benefits, I will own you.

Since it's mostly libs who vacuum their fetuses in the name of Gaia (and their convenience), isn't lib abortion, on balance, a good thing? After all, the only good liberal is a nonexistent liberal.

John Navratil| 11.10.11 @ 1:58PM

Con Chef (NB)

I'm a right-to-lifer of the no exceptions for rape and incest variety, but I couldn't have voted for the proposition (at least as I understood it). Ectopic pregnancies are life threatening - I speak from personal knowledge - and conferring personhood to such a fetus would present a serious problem. I could have ended up with a dead wife and child.

Con Chef (NB) | 11.10.11 @ 2:06PM

Fair enough. I just happen to agree with those 2 exceptions. Libs think this means that MS is getting more liberal. They couldn't be more wrong in that respect.

Drunken Sailor| 11.10.11 @ 3:07PM

Cain was "ignorant" like Farakhan using "numerology, and "preached" like Jesse Jackson or Muhammed Ali (?) with rhymes, or joked like Al Sharpton. And, despite Cain's academic success and his incredible track record of success as a high-level business executive, he's "unintelligent".

Is that about right, Jack?

Clint| 11.10.11 @ 1:08PM

Michael Scheuer, who was the head analyst at the CIA’s bin Laden unit, Alec Station, and authored the books Through Our Enemies Eyes and Imperial Hubris, said “I thought Mr. Paul captured it the other night exactly correctly. This war is dangerous to America because it’s based, not on gender equality, as Mr. Giuliani suggested, or any other kind of freedom, but simply because of what we do in the Islamic World and because ‘we’re over there,’ basically, as Mr. Paul said in the debate.”

Scheuer also agreed with Dr. Paul’s statement in the debate that the war in Iraq was a diversion from capturing or killing Osama bin Laden and that bin Laden was “delighted” that the U.S. is occupying Iraq as it has become a training ground and recruiting tool for new jihadists joining the movement."

You'rte A Serial Slandering Liar RINO-CINO Dr.Reich.

" Michael Scheuer, the former chief of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA's) Osama bin Laden unit, told the U.K. Daily Telegraph in a recent interview he was prevented from capturing or killing the terrorist by his superiors on at least 10 separate occasions.

The 22-year CIA veteran-turned-whistle=blower resigned from the agency in 2004, disgusted by the government’s lies surrounding the terror war. And he’s been embarrassing the U.S. establishment ever since.

“We formulated operations and submitted them for approval but they would not approve any of them,” the ex-CIA official told the Daily Telegraph. “If we had been able to deal a serious economic blow it could have been a show-stopper.”

The next year, bin Laden declared war on the American government. And in 1997, when bin Laden was again living in Afghanistan, Scheuer said his team groomed a band of Afghans to capture the suspected terror boss. There were at least two “clear opportunities” to bring down bin Laden by the middle of 1998, according to Scheuer. But in both cases, he said, CIA bosses refused to proceed.

Then, in August of that year, bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network bombed two American embassies in Africa. Bin Laden said the embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, was targeted for serving as a U.S. intelligence hub for the CIA. The attacks killed numerous U.S. diplomats and at least two CIA agents, according to the Associated Press.

Scheuer told the Telegraph that following the missed opportunities to kill or capture bin Laden in 1998, there were at least eight other chances to get the terror mastermind. By that point, bin Laden was supposedly among the U.S. government’s most wanted criminals. But for some unknown reason, senior officials refused to authorize his capture or assassination.

“One 50-cent round could have put us all out of our agony,” Scheuer explained. But that didn’t happen, as high-level authorities consistently ordered the CIA unit not to stop bin Laden."

Doctor Right| 11.10.11 @ 9:36PM

Lol!

Oh, he says he was "prevented" from getting Bin Laden, huh? That's his story?

I say he was "retired" from active field work to a desk job at Langley because he was an incompetent fool.

I predicted that Barack Hussein Obama will be facing impeachment procedures by summer due to illegally using taxpayer money to fund Solyndra and LightPower.

Your president is fully ignorant about the Constitution and the Powers of the President even though he has a degree in law with a speciality in Constitution law from Harvard. He knows nothing of economics, foreign policy, monetary policy and fiscal policy. All his policies have fail miserably.

I will never understand why these pundits are so ready to throw candidates over because they made one mistake in a whole night of a debate. Who really cares about these shams of a debate anyway. They human beings not programmed robotic talking heads.

I think it would be better for Perry to quit these circuses and do something one one one with another candidate like Cain and Gingrich did where they have as much time they need to speak and a more substantive, more informal, discussion.
We just might get a better picture of the man and his ideas.

Hi Simon
I have a bunch of mixed feelings. At this point I would recommend that Perry copy Jesus. Answer each question with a question...or a story.
IE: "Which departments do I fire first? Which ones are currently wasting the most money?"
or...
"Why should I debate Obama in the first place?

Dr. Wrong, who is never right. Ron Paul has consistently polled well against Obama. Willard Romney is the only one to do better in National polls. In the latest compliation of polls by Real Clear Politcs, as of October 31st, Ron Paul and Willard Romney do the best. That includes a Rassmussen poll which is cooked to make Ron Paul look worse. Ron Paul does by far the best among the young, Independents, and Democrats among all Republicans running. In fact he does so well that he could put together a credible 3rd Party. Ron and his son Rand will soon be running as a team to restore America. Get used to the fact that is down to Ron and Romney. We need real Debates on the future of this party and country. Lets have them. Then maybe after a fair and open convention we can reunite the party and get rid of Obama.

It will be interesting to see how far Ron Paul's numbers change after the debate over foreign policy. That will put his views more mainstream then we will see how the rest of the world thinks of him.

She sure as hell connected all the dots in this farce.

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 7:01AM

Maybe now we can do a compare and contrast on Herman Cain and Joe Paterno.

Herman Cain may or may not have asked a couple of women for dates, and may have actually touched one or two of them. So far nobody has said he has not taken no for an answer.

Joe Paterno's assistant coach is alleged to have been seen anally raping a ten year old boy on University property while a University employee. Joe Paterno 'fixed' the problem by making sure the employee was no longer employed by the University. But he did nothing about the now retired employee's access to young boys, even on University property, letting him continue to rape children on University property.

All of the above is alleged. Although the Paterno stuff does have at least one uninvolved eyewitness. Mr. Cain's accusers seem to be the only witnesses to his so-called "crimes" of overly-pushy dating.

So Penn State's leadership has a problem a very serious problem. This is news. People need to understand that they cannot coverup such vile, despicable acts.

Herman Cain seems to not have a problem. The accusers, including a failed paternity suit plaintiff, and someone who's coming forward to complain that Cain asked her to arrange a dinner "date" with a woman who asked a question after his speech.

If Mrs. Cain doesn't have a problem with any of this, then this is not news. At least it shouldn't be to a self-styled conservative network like Fox. So can we all stop worrying about these stupid women? After all, every one of them I've seen is blonde!

Sorry, football fans, college sports does not get a pass on child rape; lotta heads gotta roll on this one.

Mimi| 11.10.11 @ 7:52AM

We have 7 more candidates that will get the " HIT" from the thugs...We need to wise up ....These tactics are immoral and maybe illegal , they most certainly are EVIL.
The light needs to shine, maybe even some lawsuits, with some hefty settlements will close down the AXEL THUG MACHINE.
The Backfire is going to do in OBAMA and the whole party! DECENT Americans are NOT going to put up with this kind of personal destruction... It's not bad enough they have ruined the whole country ? They NOW want to destroy Americas ability to self correct? GET MAD....They have to be stopped!!!

Teaghan| 11.10.11 @ 8:06AM

I'm hoping Cain launches a huge lawsuit over these false charges. God, women act so like victims these days! Get the hell over it gals and quit acting like babies or using false allegations to pad your bank account. Shame on you if these charges are false.

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 9:15AM

And watching Herman Cain stand and deliver against these scurrilous charges, defending himself in clear, calm tones is unlike any Republican I've seen lately. Think any of the others could take this abuse so calmly and fight back so resolutely?

I don't see it. Maybe Jack and Clint see Ron Paul, that renowned man of steel, as capable of it. But I don't. Remember Mitt condescension to Rick Perry? Michele's '666' response to Herman Cain's '999' plan? Rick Santorum's skipping a whole octave begging, "Call on me!" Newt might come close, but he just admitted that the Pelosi couch trip was "dumb." Not very Presidential that...

I'm just saying, Mr. Cain stands up like a leader should. And it's leadership that we need, conservative leadership, not conservative lip service or leanings.

chuck| 11.10.11 @ 5:45PM

That's why people like him. Says what he thinks in a simple, concise manner. Doesn't care about political correctness, and is proud to admit it.

Clint| 11.10.11 @ 9:30AM

Under Caniac DTOM's Standards , The Penn State Board Of Trustees & The Governor, who sits on The Board should also resign.

They All Also Knew About The Sandusky Allegations Long Ago.

" On March 1, 2002, a graduate assistant( Mike McQueary ) caught Sandusky and a young male showering together in the football locker room. The GA reportedly notified head coach Joe Paterno the next day, and Paterno notified athletic director Tim Curley shortly after. "

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 1:05PM

Yes, the Penn State Trustees probably should resign. They have failed to instill the organization with the importance of the fundamental principles. Like no child should be raped on our campus. How complicated is this?

Apparently this Sandusky fellow has had multiple victims. How long do you think it will be before the first lawsuits will be fired? Who do you think will be named as defendants? How much money will this cost the taxpayers of Pennsylvania?

What the heck are the Trustees doing if they have created an environment where minimizing the University's risks is more important than protecting children from rape?

Good God! What's the matter you, Clint? Or are you a big NAMBLA fan?

Clint| 11.10.11 @ 1:36PM

What's The Matter With You NAMBLA BOY DTOM ?

I'm a former defensive back , who knows that agendist long knives are scapegoating JoePa, who reported Mike McQueary's allegation to his boss,The Athletic Director Mike Curley.

Pop Warner was a LOOOONG time ago, Clint...

So Joe Paterno is ALSO a victim?

Do the conspiracies ever end?

Con Chef (NB) | 11.10.11 @ 2:01PM

Clint must be a former pee-pee toucher as well, since he thinks that getting a report from an eyewitness about a child being sodomized in the shower is worthy only of reporting to the AD & not the cops. So now we have Clint not only as an apologist for The Religion of Pieces, but for NAMBLA as well. How un-surprising.

Mr ED| 11.10.11 @ 7:14AM

I don't dislike Rick Perry or any of the would-be Republican nominees but, I have watched Perrys campaign be puffed-up and put on an unassailable pedestal for several weeks now while the same media outlets (supposedly conservative outlets too) that give fawning puffery to the Perry campaign either cut Cain out of the discussion entirely or frame his campaign in terms of "how long cam he hang on" blather or worse. All the while large numbers of people I know personally have engaged me in discussions of how much they like Cain when they actually get to hear him as opposed to hearing ABOUT him from the pundicRATs who know best in all things.

All par for the Ruling Class back nine I guess. As long as they feel reasonably certain that their RINO guy - one who will do nothing about the borders or illegals already here and continue the accumulation of power in Washington - will win the nomination, they don't particularly care who that RINO is. Just be absolutely sure to dispatch the Cain candidacy by any means necessary so they can continue cashing in on our tax dollars for themselves and their cronys and everything is tickety boo. Got it.

BackToBasics| 11.10.11 @ 12:27PM

You are correct and it shows that the closer a candidate is to the Republican Establishment is, the more he is defended and protected.

Many of the more pro-establishment candidates here try to argue that Cain is unfit because he is pro-establishment himself. But if in doubt about it follow the money and follow the amount of defense he gets when under attack. Cain has way less campaign money than Romney or Perry. As for defense, how about outrught attacks and barely hidden glee from Karl Rove.

Even Real Clear Politics had only one mention of the Perry gaffe but the in the day after the false allegations of Cain there were many articles, some positive and some negative.

It is interesting to say the least. In all of it though, we still have to beat Obam next year. I think we will have a Repub House and Senate. I'd like to see Cain for sure, but any Republican except for Huntsman will sign most of the bills they pass into law and that would include all of the Republican candidates except Huntsman.

For all the naysayers about Cain and in spite of Perry's gaffe, it IS coming down to where we have to keep this in mind.

Clinton| 11.10.11 @ 7:23AM

Mr ED:
You've had you head buried somewhere. Rush, Hannity, TAS, NRO and conservative pundits have spent hours and gallons of ink defending Cain'[s perdations and outright lies. Even worse they're starting to sound like the Bill Clinton defenders by going after the victims and dragging them through the mud to defend a man who has lied and changed his story over and over again about the events.

The conservative alternative media is starting to look like the liberal media in its defense of sexual predator Bill Clinton and doing untold damage to our movement.

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 8:50AM

Clinton;

Bill Clinton did actually do the stuff he was accused of. Remember the blue dress with the DNA on it? Bill lied about it.

So far if the worst charge against Herman Cain were actually true, and it means that Mr. Cain WOULD take no for an answer, an answer which Bill Clinton apparently would not.

This is nothing but an Obama Team hit job on a candidate they really fear. It is similar to the hit job they pulled on his initial opponent in the US Senate race. That was a man named Ryan whose sealed divorce records were unsealed to reveal that his soon-to-be-ex-wife refused his repeated requests that she accompany him to a gentlemen's club. Refusals that she testified he honored. Sadly, this was enough to drive him from the race. The guy's wife said no, he said okay, and that makes him ineligible for the US Senate? Maybe he wasn't mean and rotten enough?

Herman Cain is taking one page out of Clinton's book though - he's defending himself. Like a man should. He's not shoving his wife out in front of himself and hiding behind her skirts. He's out there doing what he does best, calling a spade a spade!

There is nothing here and they usually lead with their best stuff. If this is all they have, this will be a bad memory for the MSM in three months. If Obama had been thinking, he would have saved this up for October of 2012. But Barry ain't that smart a politician.

All they've done now is focused the nation's attention on the fact that Mr. Cain is a conservative black Republican and somebody's trying to take him down. After the primaries, if it's still Herman, Obama will have not have the other Republican candidates giving him plausible deniability.

Oh yeah, and if I were one of the seven Republicans, I'd be screaming that it was not me and that this is a deplorable thing. I'd be screaming 'you'd better get some evidence to back up these scurrilous attacks on a serious black candidate! 'Cause if you got none, you got none!'

Mr ED| 11.10.11 @ 10:56AM

"You've had you head buried somewhere. Rush, Hannity, TAS, NRO and conservative pundits have spent hours and gallons of ink defending Cain'[s perdations and outright lies."

Perditions and outright lies? As proven by what exactly? You're desire for them to be so? There are really two issues involved here: 1) The allegations on their face and 2) The treatment of Cain by the MSM and pseudo-conservative blogosphere. Hannity is definitely giving Cain support but the others you list are not defending Cain as much as using his treatment by the MSM as a weapon for their own purposes. Every "report" I hear by O'Reilley, Inghram, Rove et al is heavily front-loaded with the obligatory catchisms "can he hang on?" and "is he still in it?" blather. And by you're supposed standards the vetting of these women and their allegations is not cricket - all focus should be on Cain and whether he is lying and how bad is he really.

somnolence| 11.10.11 @ 7:24AM

It wouldn't surprise me that the last two standing by June will be Romney and Cain. Right now it certainly looks that way. Anyone who thinks Cain is ignorant needs immediate remedial counseling. Bill Kurtis really put a hurt on that one, uh, "lady" of dubious character during the course of the day. Ron Paul's stance on dealing with Iran, in fact, the entire Mideast, is incoherent. As far as foreign policy, few up there have a better command of that than Huntsman or Santorum, and look where they are. You can bring forth 300 women, Cain won't finish worst than 3rd in the primary process when all is said and done. He also said on Fox last night he DOES favor auditing the Fed. And on pro-life, I will say this in mocking disdain for Cain's detractors, he has ALWAYS been pro-life, in MY definition of the term, and in fact, most folks , all of his life. What we have witnessed the past week against Cain is akin to The Inquisition in some aspects, but is really closer to sanctimonious B.S. on the part of the establishment, Emanuel-Axelrod axis, and neo-con pundits. I guarantee that Cain has enough legal firepower in his midst(which no one has thought about) to put them all away, and Kurtis literally put the quiet on a lot of the bimbo jive yesterday.

Jack in Wi| 11.10.11 @ 7:36AM

Ron Paul could not be clearer in his stand on the midle East. That is why he does the best among the young, Independents and Democrats. the vast majority of people in this country want nothing to do with these wars or an attack on Iran. No prowar pro bankster and bailout Republican can win. The Bush Cheney brain dead, endless war, voters are down to about 20% of the population

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 8:58AM

Jack;

That's right, Ron Paul could not be clearer than a Frenchman waving a very large, very white flag over his head, shouting "cessez le feu!"

Clint| 11.10.11 @ 11:25AM

Dr.Ron Paul,
“Our military’s purpose is to defend our country, not to police the
Middle East.

“As the President prepares to send even more support to Egypt, we should
be reminded that it was our foreign aid that helped Mubarak retain power
to repress his people in the first place. Now we have to deal with the
consequences of those decisions, yet we keep repeating the same mistakes.

“I am not the only one who can see the absurdities of our foreign
policy. We give $3 billion to Israel and $12 billion to her enemies.
Most Americans know that makes no sense.

“We need to come to our senses, trade with our friends in the Middle
East (both Arab and Israeli), clean up our own economic mess so we set a
good example, and allow them to work out their own conflicts.”

And the smart money fights the wars over there, that way they suffer the collateral damage, the civilian casualties, the destruction of industrial capacity, et al.

Only a short sighted doltish non-strategic thinker would try to keep ongoing military operations in his own country.

Unless of course you are Ron Paul.

Read George Washington's Farewell Address, Thomas Jefferson's Firste Inaugural Address, The Old Right, William F. Buckley & Learn What Real Conservative Foreign Policy Is RINO-CINO DTOM.
George Will, "Today, we have a very different kind of foreign policy. It’s called Wilsonian. And the premise of the Bush Doctrine is that America must spread democracy, because our national security depends upon it. And America can spread democracy. It knows how. It can engage in national building. This is conservative or not?"

William F. Buckley, " It’s not at all conservative. It’s anything but conservative. It’s not conservative at all, inasmuch as conservatism doesn’t invite unnecessary challenges. It insists on coming to terms with the world as it is …”

"Ron Paul could not be clearer in his stand on the midle East. That is why he does the best among the young, Independents and Democrats. "

This is what qualifies him? Young (Naive), Independants (Another word for people who don't have core values), and Democrats (mainly pacifists who would rather surrender than fight for their own liberty).

Please, never use that line to convince conservatives again.

Clint| 11.10.11 @ 12:35PM

Do Your Homework.

Dr.Ron Paul,
" While President Obama’s demand that Israel
make hard concessions in her border conflicts may very well be in her
long-term interest, only Israel can make that determination on her own,
without pressure from the United States or coercion by the United
Nations.

“Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how
Israel runs her affairs. There can only be peace in the region if those
sides work out their differences among one another. We should respect
Israel’s sovereignty and not try to dictate her policy from Washington."

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 1:11PM

Clint;

Please do some homework yourself- name a single piece of legislation that Ron Paul has managed to get passed in his twenty years in Congress.

Leaders generally DO things. People who do nothing with the tools at hand should not be given more and bigger tools. That is the lesson Obama has made painfully clear. Among many, many others.

Clint| 11.10.11 @ 4:09PM

Cain will easily dispatch Paul in Texas. Easily.

Jack in Wi| 11.10.11 @ 11:07AM

Cain has been done for weeks. He is a moron. The brain dead Bible Belt isn't enough to get Herman squat in the Texas primary. Herman will be gone long before Texas.

PhilTheCapitalistPig| 11.10.11 @ 11:39AM

Still leading the polls constitutes being done?

This is why you paulbots have no credibility. Its all been spent. My suggestion is you let Ron paul speak for himself. You're not doing him any favors with your delusional rants.

PhilTheCapitalistPig| 11.10.11 @ 2:53PM

Also, I wouldn't talk about the "Brain Dead Bible Belt" after your texas boy glossed over last night when asked which 3 departments he would do away with.

Just sayin'.

PhilTheCapitalistPig| 11.10.11 @ 2:53PM

The "Bible Belt" has a whole lot of states that aren't running deficits right now. Not bad for a bunch of brain-dead dummies.

The Bible Belt always votes conservative. Can you say that about Wisconsin?
Just asking, Jack.

In one of the latest polls Cain was leading Perry in Texas. Dream on about Paul. You must be getting him confused with Rand Paul.

somnolence| 11.10.11 @ 7:41AM

The difference between Cain and Clinton is bimbo interruptions compared to bimbo corruptions.

martin j smith| 11.10.11 @ 7:44AM

Hey McCain--the issue will never be put to rest by the Socialists. You can count on them to continue to make allegations. But I think among many ( I would include you in this group ) there has been a failure to see certain politcal issues based on the premis that what the MSM or better the Socialist carrying the water for Obama press says must be true, I am sorry sir, but that appraoch is not only not logical but it is destructive. Not logical. Here is better logic: The NYT and Politco and known tools for the LEFT ( this is a fact ) .. They will use their media for th p[urpose of promoiting the Left agenda and also sabotaging the opposition ( this is also true ) so when they publish a story which has a lot of allegation and innuendo but hard facts
--oh my opr my--run for the hills- get under cover-confess-
confess-
confess.
Then some for
give but I call as I see it--BIMB0 comes up and talks like one of the real housewives of New Jersey
whose creds are at minimum questionable and then, we hear of another wackadu who apprently has a history of complaining on her jobs --I mean my g-d where the heck is your brain. No it is up to alloegators to prove not Cain because it is the other way around the any nut job can make any complain and that is impossible to deal with. So McCain either you have serious learning problems or you just do not like Cain for some reason. If it is the second then at least be honset about if it is the first--I cannot help you.

hardcard| 11.10.11 @ 8:05AM

the demo/progs have a great scheme going. The msm gives air time to the Repulicans for "debates", like twice a week; all the candidates rush to participate. then msm asks them loaded questions, the candidates are proded by snarky and smerky commentators in a concerted effort to destroy the candidates, these so called debates are not debates at all , they are media events to defeat oposition to the progressive agenda and their candidate commander O. We a self-destructing fast stop this charade now.

Mark MacInnis| 11.10.11 @ 8:26AM

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: We ought not be squanderinging our energy and resources in battling each other, when the real enemy is Obama. Whoever we nominate and elect will simply serve as the bill-signer in chief. The real revolution, where we roll-back the Left's agenda, will start in the House with Ryan and the Tea-Partiers. So, we just need to keep our powder dry for Obama. Don't matter to me who the Repub nom is, as long as he understands that it isn't about him, it is about defeating liberalism....if it is Romney, I hold my nose, but I vote for him. If Cain survives, so much the better imho... a Cain-Newt ticket! Could you imagine the debates? Cain would blow away a teleprompter-less Obama and Newt vs. Biden? If they had such a thing as a mercy rule in debating, it would be triggered during a Newt v. Biden match-up. Fuhgeddaboutit!....

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 9:03AM

Be thankful that this all happened now, not in 11 months. It might have been an effective October Surprise. Instead, if Cain continues to stand up to it, they will have inoculated him against this form of attack. Darn unintended consequences!

ElPuma25| 11.10.11 @ 11:05AM

I am with you on this one. I think the left miscalculated the timing. What I think is that they knew the charges were weak; they wouldn't fly on the general election unless used at the last minute (ala Bush's DIU). So they banked on us conservatives being racists that fear black men hitting on white women (to judge from the pundits' comments of yesterday) and that we would turn against Cain. It is not happening, so they spent that cartridge already and will now have to invent a new scandal come next October.

BackToBasics| 11.10.11 @ 6:46PM

They will invent a scandal next October no matter which Republican gets the nomination. They will invent anything; campaign contributions, more harrasment allegations of one form or another, religious beliefs of the candidate.... All of these and more will be considered fair game by the Democrat-Communists.

keats5| 11.11.11 @ 12:31AM

Yes, there's sure to be some contrived October scandal.

And so far I see one candidate who has shown he can weather a slime campaign. So I'm sticking with Cain.

BackToBasics| 11.11.11 @ 1:45AM

Me too. The only way I will back someone else is if he withdraws.

Louis Jenkins| 11.10.11 @ 8:54AM

Hardcore, you're absolutely correct. And yes, Cain may not yet survive. We need to vote Obamo out, regardless of who is nominated. Hold your nose and pull the "lever." Obamo is more than a president, he is a dictator. He can do almost anything with Presidential Directives. He needs to be kicked out to the curb.

Ken (Old Texican)| 11.10.11 @ 9:03AM

Antle and TAS,
Just stay on Governor Perry's butt!

Governor Perry is aimed at firing SEVEN OR EIGHT departments...not just three.

That's OK, guys. Perhaps we can elect him the President of Texas, and the rest of your piddly ass States can freeze in the dark without our oil and gas and good government.
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7386800n

Mimi| 11.10.11 @ 9:32AM

Ken....This is quite a blow to Perry's campaign.
Before the forgetful moment I thought he improved a great deal over his former debates....He was sounding pretty good!
Maybe it's not in the cards for him... Was he too stressed out?....It might not be his TIME.
I like to think positive for all the candidates any one of them could end up the POTUS....they are all Patriots!
Me...? Ive been leaning "NEWT"....The greatest NEED is to learn their great country's History ...to avoid an 2008 election ever again ...and THAT is a NEWT can-do!

canuckistani| 11.10.11 @ 12:41PM

Based on HISTORY, he will.

Self-interest imbues his character.

Dai Alanye | 11.10.11 @ 12:05PM

The problem with Perry is Perry - no point in blaming anyone else. Last night's brain-freeze could have happened to anyone, but only Rick Perry can fix the problem of his inability to effectively debate. Once he had recalled "Energy" he failed to salvage the moment, instead simply blurting out the department name. Perry might be the most wonderfulest executive ever, but to run for President a person must be able to speak reasonably well, and to recover gracefully from mistakes.

Drunken Sailor| 11.10.11 @ 3:31PM

I cringed over Perry's stumble last night but come on people, do you really think Presidents debate? Or that a simple mental vapor lock means they are done? I can't count the number of goof ups Obama has made (corpsman,57 states, etc.) and it never touched him. Hell he made those with a teleprompter even! Foreign and domestic policies are not settled by debate skills. They are settled by negotions, somtimes over long periods.

Yes, I know that debates help the public get to know the canidate and not being able to do it hurts a canidates PR but it does not finish them. Especially in debates that aren't even real debats but question and answeres sessions. These debates are a joke unless you want to count the canidates as debating the people asking the questions. How often do all the same canidates get to answer and expound on the same question? NEVER. Perry needs to step up his game if he expects to win any undecideds to his side but calling him finished over piddly shit is just stupid.

Sunnyr| 11.10.11 @ 4:43PM

I could give a fig LESS about my President being a Master Debater. I'd much rather he be a Natural LEADER, which is what Rick Perry is as a 3-Term Governor of our 2nd largest state. He has a real record of achievement to hold up next to Comrade Obozo's miserable record of FAILURE. Jobs, 6 balanced budgets in a row, Tort Reform, a Grade of A+ from NumbersUSA for his excellent work at securing his 1200 mile border with Mexico. He will make a great President and will get this country back on a path to prosperity. Morning Again In America!

Perry 2012!

Drunken Sailor| 11.10.11 @ 4:52PM

Sunnyr,
That is exactly what I am talking about. I could happily vote for Perry or Cain, even Newt with some reservations. As for the others, only if they are the ones running against Obama. ABO 2012

keats5| 11.11.11 @ 12:33AM

Same here. I like Cain, but I would vote for any of the others to defeat Obama. We have to pull together. Some of the posters on this thread sound as dysfunctional as OWS people with all their squabbling and hairsplitting.

Bob Grant| 11.10.11 @ 9:07AM

Perry's performance comes as no surprise to ANYONE who lives in Texas and follows politics.

Folks, everything happens for a reason: Why the sun rises and sets; why we live and die; why God doesn't reveal himself more often;...

...and why Perry chose not to debate his opponent in the Texas gubernatorial race last year. NOW we know!

It's amazing to me that Perry thought he could overcome his abject lack of debating skills, win the republican nomination, and defeat (arguably) one of the best orators of our time in the general.

Perry, to his demise, thought he could run on his long and successful tenure as governor of the most conservative state in the union. He was successful because he got out of the way. For the most part, at least.

The fact that he couldn't articulate this in a compelling way coupled with his track record less-than-impressive performances at debates makes me question his judgment on why he chose to run in the first place.

Oh well, better to know now!!!

Doctor Right| 11.10.11 @ 4:14PM

"...one of the best orators of our time..."

I hope you're not talking about Obama.

If so...WHO have you been watching for the last 4 years?!?!?

Obama is NOT a great orator; he's not even a mediocre one!

He's a complete empty-suit. He can't string two sentences together without reading them off of a teleprompter.

And when he DOES read smoothly with "uuhhh...ummm...uh", what he says is just plain idiotic.

He's a DUMB guy.

He's inarticulate and utterly unaccomplished.

I wish our side would stop fearing his supposed "speaking skills".

Sunnyr| 11.10.11 @ 4:46PM

Pfft! That's why Perry was re-elected THREE times? Get real!

Perry for President 2012!

A REAL Leader with a REAL record of achievement who will be a REAL Commander in Chief. And I'll bet he even knows how to pronounce the word, "corpsman."

Vern Crisler | 11.10.11 @ 9:16AM

I have to say, while Cain's response laid the sexual harrassment allegations to rest, his response to other question was disappointing. He needs to become as knowledgeable about policy issues as his opponents are, or it's going to be a tough road for him.

Sunnyr| 11.10.11 @ 4:37PM

Herman Cain's sexual harassment allegations have NOT been laid to rest, by a long shot. He was lucky to have a few fans in the audience to hold old Maria at bay. Herman Cain is in very deep POO!

Vern Crisler | 11.10.11 @ 6:13PM

Nobody cares.....it's ancient history.

Margie| 11.10.11 @ 6:52PM

When the Troll says it hasn't been laid to rest, it's talking about the MSM, the lying Leftist Paul-bot scum, and lying Republican Establishment scum.
Birds of a feather.

Purpleguy| 11.10.11 @ 10:55AM

Why has this site not addressed the overwhelming rejection of the GOP on Tuesday? Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Arizona to name a few rejected many initiatives and elected Democrats to Red State positions ... Could this be the harbinger of a Blue Wave in 2012? Hmmmm?

Jack London| 11.10.11 @ 11:18AM

They've gone awfully quiet too about global warming following the recent confirmatory evidence.

As for the GOP debate, Cain was truly awful. Although as someone on the WaPo says: 'Cain has made Perry look like a well-briefed genius throughout the campaign.' Now that takes some skills I guess.

Sunnyr| 11.10.11 @ 4:51PM

Cain is the Master at "distraction." When he was asked a question he couldn't answer, he would revert back to that old, tedious 9-9-9 routine. It is beginning to get very old. He is clearly getting a pass because he is a Black Republican, and that is making all Republicans look like "Pander Bears." It's embarrassing.

Clint| 11.10.11 @ 11:20AM

If you're right, our country is dead. We will become Greece, we will have rioting in the streets, complete insolvency, and we will collapse under the weight of our own bureaucracy and debt. When all cities are like Detroit, when the middle class taxpayer is finally broke, when we all have nothing but a piddly government subsistence to live on, when our bonds are junk, our credit is zero, and our inflation makes our dollar worthless, when all shreds of the American dream are gone into the vacuum of history, when you have taken and redistributed everything we have, will you greedy, covetous, avaricious liberals FINALLY be satisfied? If so, then what? How will you feed the beast you created? What SOLUTIONS will you bring? All your other "solutions" have proven to be EPIC failures. What will you do?

Mistral| 11.10.11 @ 10:59AM

Ron Paul stood far above the others for me personally. What an intelligent and rational man he is. He is a rare politician too in that he actually answers questions directly. He has a good memory as well!

Con Chef (NB) | 11.10.11 @ 12:32PM

The reason he did well last night was becasue the debate was about monetary/fiscal policy. That's where many conservatives dig Paul. Where conservatives & libertarians who CLAIM to be conservatives differ is when Paul starts sounding like the regressives with his blame America First/We Caused 9-11/Iran's No Threat nonsense.

Just wait til the foreign policy debate on Saturday. His marks won't be NEAR as high.

The people, country classers, know a good thing when we see it.. him.

martin j smith| 11.10.11 @ 11:37AM

We know the debates are not debates but the oi count 20% towards the final grade. When Mitt Romney is really tested at least half as much as Cain let me know--I will watch with interest how he handles himself. In the mean time I support Cain or Gingrich because they are showing more desire to take on the job. The other candidates can do that if they wish but have not for some reason. Oh and Gingrich better be ready for smears from the Socialist Left because they will come soon. Romney is un vetted and untested
and too presumtuous and too RINOISH for me.

Margie| 11.10.11 @ 11:57AM

Well said.. DESIRE~ it's got to be there, and for real.
herman Cain's got that, along with his excellent character and business experience, and not to mention humbleness and Christianity.

Newt as well.. as I've said, I WISH he could become President, and who knows, it's early on.

But as for me and my house, we shall continue to back Herman Cain.

This investigator used a voice recognition machine on Bialek's press conference and Cain's press conference. He concluded that Cain was truthful and Bialek was not truthful. He said it's as reliable as a polygraph.

BackToBasics| 11.10.11 @ 6:59PM

I saw that too and Anne Coulter article about how all of the false allegations concern only women who worked at the National Restaurant Assoc where Cain was CEO for a couple years. If you haven't read it yet, she connects the dots for the timeline and people involved.

keats5| 11.11.11 @ 12:36AM

Unfortunately, only a small part of America is seeing this today. We should all post it on facebook, on news sites, and send it in emails. I was just on CNN.com to check out what others are saying, and no one has even heard of this article!

Con Chef (NB) | 11.10.11 @ 12:28PM

What last night showed was that the public is now hip to these little media "fatwas" against conservative candidates. People aren't buying the bullshit anymore. As Coulter mentioned in her article, its funny that of the ENTIRE SPAN of Herman Cain's professional career, the only claims of this kind of behavior comes from his time in the NRA. Coulter goes on to make the point that all these chicks are from Chicago. Curious, since Herman Cain has worked ALL OVER THE NATION during the course of his career.

Again, until I see a baby batter glazed dress, this case, unlike the Clinton case, is "close, but no cigar."

canuckistani| 11.10.11 @ 12:44PM

The important point is that he claims outsider status but was the lobbyist in chief for several years at the NRA. Curious.

He gets what he deserves for not having his sh!t together on this issue. Are you now suggesting he forgot there were two settlements on his watch?
Baloney.

Con Chef (NB) | 11.10.11 @ 1:00PM

Lyneuss Fields | 11.10.11 @ 1:02PM

Owen K.| 11.10.11 @ 2:17PM

Cain will survive these unfounded accusations which I believe have been brought about by Chicago allies of Obama and taken up by radical feminists. Throw into the mix the headlines on the unfortunate Penn State scandal, and you have the accusations against Cain already beginning to fade into the background.

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 6:15PM

Have you noticed that all of the alleged Cain bimbo eruptions have to do with the three years with was with the NRA and erupt out of Chicago, a city he never worked in? That's also be David Axlerod's hometown.

How weird is that?

Bill| 11.10.11 @ 2:29PM

Herman Cain wanted his 15 minutes of shame-running for the President of the USA as a conservative. He accomplished much of them except his flawed 9-9-9 plan and the alleged sexual harrasment claims. He got away in the CNBC debtae but he eventually will lose the primary and will be wind up in the prison. Cain needs to tell us the truth. He is hurting the GOP. Mr. Cain, you can run but you cannot hide.

Con Chef (NB) | 11.10.11 @ 2:54PM

Yeah. He'll end up in prison. With all of the COPIOUS amounts of evidence. Moron.

Herman the Vermin has become a real DRAG on the Republican Party and is not, in my opinion, a serious candidate for President. He was in it for selling his books and raising his Speaker's Fees. He is a national embarrassment and will continue to decline in the polls.

Con Chef (NB) | 11.10.11 @ 4:27PM

You're telling someone to "stay classy" below, but calling Cain "vermin" based on what? The unfounded allegations of an Axelrod operative & a gold digger, both of whom are serial accusers?

Hypocritical much?

Sunnyr| 11.10.11 @ 5:17PM

Based on Herman Cain's lame rhetoric in essentially calling all these women LIARS, and seeing how he has lied his way out of all his "gaffes" when we have them all on VIDEO, gives me the freedom to call him Herman the Vermin. It is not an obscene sexual remark! It is describing a man who will say or do anything to anyone if he thinks he can talk his way out of it. It proves his lack of character, hence: Vermin.

Gov. Rick Perry has a great record as a leader and problem solver, he is much better that that clown (Herman Cain) and Perry sure will beat Obama in a landslide. Off course, Perry is from Texas, remember, if we lose TX, we lose America. We need to support Gov. Perry, otherwise Obama will steal the election just like he did in 2008.

Perry for President - 2012!

Bill| 11.10.11 @ 2:56PM

Gov. Rick Perry did a good job in the CNBC debate. Everybody knows that he speaks from heart, he is genuine and sold. Mitt Romney is plauged by the RomneyCare, Herman Cain is derailed by his sexual allegations, Ron Paul is 78, Michelle and Rick Santorum are stuck with 2% in any average poll. Let's get behind Gov. Perry who will destroy Obama in 2012. States are high. We must unite and defeat those evils (Democrats). Don't let them steal the show.

I was disgusted when the Dems circled the wagons around their serial womanizer, Slick Willy Clinton and I am equally disgusted the way intelligent, reasonable Republicans are doing the same thing with Herman Cain. This guy would have to attack a NUN in their presence for them to back off from making elaborate excuses for bad behavior. If there is this much SMOKE, there has to be a big fire somewhere in his background. It is all coming out now. Women are not paid off with large sums of money unless there is adequate evidence of sexual harassment. Herman Cain is slowly imploding but he is also becoming a huge embarrassment to the Republican Party. Wake up, people.

Get lost.

There's two-words that separate Bill Clinton's situation from Herman Cain's:

Blue dress.

Get it?

There's not one shred of proof to anything these women are saying about Cain...But in your mind, we should throw him under the bus???

Meanwhile, Clinton lied about Monica Lewinsky, lied about Paula Jones (under oath), lost his law license, and MIGHT be a rapist.

Either produce proof that Cain is guilty of anything, or come to terms with reality.

Sunnyr| 11.10.11 @ 4:26PM

Reality will hit old Herman the Vermin over the head when these women get together for a Press Conference. He has lied his way through all his gaffes and now he is lying about these women as well. I can't wait for an expert on body language to give an assessment of Herman Cain. There is no way he is telling the truth about a woman becoming angry enough to file an EEOC Complaint over he telling her "you are the same height as my wife." Pfft! Really, Herman?

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 6:18PM

Sunnyr;

Proof or silence, please. After all, you do want to stay "Classy," don't you?

Don't sweat the small stuff, Governor Perry. Remember, the "most powerful man on the planet doesn't know how to pronounce the word, "corpsman," and he's the WORST excuse for a leader we have ever had in our nations highest office.

Kick butt and take names, Rick! You are a REAL Leader, with a REAL record of achievement who will be a REAL Commander in Chief. Good luck in the Saturday Debate!

In case the elites haven't been paying attention, we the people, (save for the few dones on this site) don't give a tinkers damn what the political elites in Washington or the MSM say, which is why Mr. Cain is not only surviving, he's thriving.

You got it, Anthony! Their days of shoving their agenda down our throats are over.

Alan Brooks| 11.10.11 @ 6:02PM

But it is another 4- 8 years of Bushism! how is Cain going to succeed where Bush failed? but we all need illusions.

DTOM| 11.10.11 @ 6:23PM

Simple:

Bush was a pretend conservative; Herman Cain is a real conservative. And he doesn't need to man up to stand down the elitists. That's why they are all so quick to pile on him. And eventually most voters will recognize the pile on-and react the way they usually do to negative campaigns-with disgust. They'll probably get mad and become broken-glass Cainiacs.

Drunken Sailor| 11.10.11 @ 6:23PM

Speaking of Illuisions Alan, why is your guy Obama rearranging the deck chairs? Taking duties away form daily, losing his right hand guy, Reggie Love? How many does that make that have abandoned the good ship Obama?

Sunnyr| 11.10.11 @ 8:00PM

Nonsense, he is losing ground in Iowa, overnight. It will all be in the upcoming polls a couple days from now.

Stick a fork in him. He's done.

A classic flim-flam man!

And Perry is a master at falling apart towards the end of debates who's currently polling in the single digits. Suck on that.

Big government and big institutions are symbols of tyranny and bureacracy that is anathema to the freedom of the human spirit, which is the only engine of prosperity and well-being.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was the founding vision of America and her unparalleled greatness around the globe. The decline of this vision is being underwritten by the symbols of tyranny - taxation, over regulation, over legislation, and government interference.

Hire Herman Cain to heal and restore America.

Mike| 11.10.11 @ 9:29PM

Why do Teapublicans hate America? Serious question. How does one explain the candidates they support otherwise? Clowns (Perry and Trump), nuts (Bachmann and Santorum), moral degenerates (Gingrich and Cain - okay, I'll still give you alleged) and phonies (Romney)?

Answer: The Teapublicans are selfish, self-centered brats throwing a tantrum about the fact that their taxes may be raised.

Thank you for this article. Whether Cain gets the nomination or not is irrelevant. This insanity of the Republican media feeding on a Republican nominee without giving him a fair chance was nauseating.

Besides trying to destry Cain's primary candidacy, Politico and the Left may have also been trying to influence the elections for yesterday, Tuesday, 11-9.

Is it just me, or is Ron Paul wasting everybody's time running as a Republican? We all know he will not get the nomination, blaming the US for terrorism. He might as well just save us all the wasted time so we can hear from conservatives

Wonder what kind of donation to TAS it would take to get them to confine Clint, Alan Brooks, Dr. Right and the rest of the nimrods whose daily goal is to see how many times they can all one another "queer" - to their own private blog site. They don't need a topic du jour. They only need each other. Margie could go there too, as den mother and chaplain, quoting Scripture now that she and Ken have broken up.

We would all be free to look in occasionally to see if they are still name-calling. And we will never be disappointed. Meanwhile, we would not have to scroll through endless mud ball fights of stuck-in-6h grade insult fests, searching for the occasional insightful comment on the article that asked for comments.

Comments on the article, Clint, et al - not on each other!

Anonymous blogging - the perfect King's X territory of the coward. What a howler it would be to see faces and true biographies of these deep thinkers trapped in the confines of their four letter word vocabularies.

Who was it on TV who used to say, "Big whoop"? Delta Burke, the fat girl on Designing Ladies, I think. The worst three weeks of my life, I spent in Houston, visiting a cousin who liked crap like that on TV. Dr. Right must have seen it, too.

I see I just got sucked in to doing what they do - - I commented on them. It's a contagion.

What do experienced politicians have to offer? From oromney: romneycare, welfare wheels, cap and trade, healthcare mandates. From Gingrich: no social security reform as it is too radical, healthcare mandates, cap and trade. Ron Paul: nukes for enemies. Bachmann: Gardasil is evil. Huntsman: capitalism is evil
