Herman Cain: Karl Rove is trying to destroy me
Politico ^ | 24 Oct 2011 | y MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 10/24/2011 12:04:49 PM PDT by mandaladon

Herman Cain pushed back hard at Karl Rove's recitation of his recent campaign fumbles and miscues - which he presented on a whiteboard on Fox News this morning - and accused the operative of trying to do him intentional damage in a Byron York interview:

"It's a good thing the voters are not looking at Karl Rove's little whiteboard," Cain said in a phone conversation from a stop in Chicago Monday afternoon. "I believe it is a deliberate attempt to damage me because I am not, quote unquote, the establishment choice. But why not go with the choice that the people seem to like?"

Cain accused Rove of bias in favor of candidates with big organizations, lots of money, and prior experience in political office — all things Cain doesn't have. "What has Karl Rove done?" Cain continued. "If I become the nominee, he has given Democrats talking points for a commercial to attack me. It makes no sense unless it's a deliberate attempt on his part to try to push me down so that the candidate he wants rises to the top." Continue Reading

When asked which candidate he believes Rove supports, Cain said, "I believe he wants Romney to get it."

Rove strongly denies Cain's charges. "Herman Cain is the one giving the Democrats material for attack ads," Rove said in a phone conversation Monday afternoon. "I want the strongest nominee to emerge from the process. I have no personal favorite. Fox expects me to call balls and strikes as I see them."

Gee and I can remember when the meme here was...

"Rove you Magnificent B@stard"

We are a fickle bunch, huh?

Not quick enough.

We are seeing the Washington “elites” trying to hold on to their power.

I don’t consider them elites at all or the government would not be in the mess it is.

But, they must leave the status quo. Who knows what would happen if the people were running the place.

Karl Rove is a one-world, Bohemian Grove orgy attendee. He is a suck up to Soros and Islamists and everything evil in the world. These people need to be stripped of all “power”. Rove—did you ever hear the quote: Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely!” Rove works for Satan....sold his soul decades ago.

Wake up, Rove.....your Marxist “world” is destroying us and making the world one pathetic immoral cesspool. Restore God, Natural Law and our Constitution—everything YOU do undermines the principles of this great nation!

Rove needs to go straight to hell. That RINO POS foisted W. on us and look at how that worked out for us. He is an establishment GOPer who would have been happy to foist Capt. Queeg on us too.

It is getting a little obvious that Fox is following the establishment GOP....Proud that Cain is pushing back...another reason to support him.

Rove, part of the “ruling class”, has pushed for Romney all year.

What has Romney done since the last Presidential Primary Election? Where are his public responses to the Democraps socialist initiatives that Czar B.O. signed into law?

He received 20% against that stalwart conservative McLame, about what he is receiving now against the legion of candidates!

As each new candidate has declared and rose to the top, Romney remained nestled in the 20% range.

Tokyo Rove, Charles Sourkrauthammer, Dana Perugino have joined the MSM to select the Republican candidate that Czar B.O. would find the easiest to defeat.

Where is the record of public service of Tokyo, Charles and Dana? Have the voters, at any level, had a chance to show what they think of their solutions to public problems?

Thing is Cain is part of the big banking establishment, which is part and parcel to the GOP establishment.

Cavuto is a vice? That's scary, since Cavuto subscribes to the cheer leading Keynsian crowd of business analysts.

I haven't looked at any schedules, but I'll wager good money his little arse kissing buddy Sean Hannity will have Rove on both his radio and television shows with that completely nauseating intro: “And here he is, the ‘Architect’ Karl Rove! How are you my friend?”

“Don’t go there Herman. Rove just wants you to waste time on crap like this instead of reaching the people with your ideas. Let little cockroaches like Rove scurry by. Don’t bend down to his level. Remember, you got where you are by not acting/reacting like Romney and Perry. Stay above it. You’ll do just fine.”

B.S.!! It was this “above the fray” type crap that reduced Bush to a spineless wuss! He got his arse handed to him daily, and sat their and did nothing! Sorry, but Cain should take it right back at this little A-Hole RINO.

You’re full of it. From O’Reilly’s hit-and-run “interview” of can a few months back, it has been Fox’s job to take down anyone who isn’t Romney.

Roger Ailes said it before: Obama as president means more ratings for Fox, which means more money for him and Murdoch. Fox and crew are going to subtly undermine the viable conservative candidates till only the one who CAN’T beat Obama.

Nothing sinister, really. It’s just about the $$$. If you’re dumb enough to still be watching FoxNews, you deserve what you get.


This can't be stated enough. Murdoch, Fox, Fox News, they don't give a damn about Conservatives. They make more money from pushing sleaze and filth, especially Fox pushing the homosexual agenda and Fox News pushing filth and calling it "news".

"Cain is part of the big banking establishment"

Got anything to back up that statement, or are you just making things up?

Cain has some good qualities but I do not like the 9% national sales tax and can’t come to grips with it. LOOK if you have 10 dollars...first you pay 9% to the govt for personal income tax and that leaves you 9.10...THEN you pay ANOTHER 9% sales tax which leaves you with 8.20 AND add on the local taxes which is some cases are quite high...that 10 dollars you worked hard for is devalued in some cases to under 7 dollars and change. IF he would dump the sales tax...maybe I could go along but in the meantime?

Lol just watched a hit piece on Cain on Fox comparing him to Romney saying Cain is losing steam with conservative voters but dont mention how Romney has almost no support from conservatives. Who the hell do they think the GOP mostly consists of?
