Herman Cain is Reckless and Arrogant

The sex scandal is the logical conclusion. It’s well supported. Nuff said.

Tell that to the lawyer Bennett’s accuser client, who now says she *thinks* Cain is lying:

But, hey, if that’s incontrovertible to you, then nuff said.

I read that post from HotAir. I am more convinced that Herman Cain is a sexual harasser today than yesterday. Gut. I was totally convinced that Cain isn’t presidential material yesterday. That meter is pegged.

I don’t think it matters who leaked the story, if it was leaked at all. I think it’s giving everyone a good peek into Herman Cain’s soul before the GOP drove the Cain Train off the car lot to face Obama.

Likewise, I am glad that Gardasil, HPV, Al Gore, Border Fences, and (ad nauseum) came out early on. Perry’s a better candidate for it.

Who ever leaked it, to include some sniveling frat rat at RomneyRabbit, is a hero. The dems had no heroes to leak the John Edwards saga. And look at what may have happened.

“Every post you make to me, you end in a snide remark, and try to belittle me.”

Sorry if it came across as snide. Just trying to determine what your assumptions are.

Actually, state schools set aside a certain number of slots for nonresident students and even foreign students. But there are only a certain number of slots total — basically every class must have professors and teacher’s assistants, and class space. These are real limitations, and not everyone who “qualifies” according to their grades and SAT and ACT scores can be accepted. Every year, thousands of students are rejected from their choice in state schools and are left to attend a “community” college and hope for a transfer at a later date. If they never get that transfer, they are screwed. They’ll never get the degree they want from the school they want, and that can mean never getting the job they want.

How would you feel if your kid’s slot was taken by an illegal alien, they ended up with a community college degree instead of a UT degree, and the companies they wanted to work for wouldn’t even consider your kid because they don’t hire from community colleges ? When weeding through a stack of resumes, what school the candidate graduated from is IMPORTANT. Especially for that first job out of school that sets salary history and expectations for an entire career.

Where do I live ? I’ve lived my whole life in CA. I went to the University of California, Irvine. One of only three UC schools in 1983 that had good study programs in Information Theory and Computer Science. Out of 20,000 students, there were only 200 slots for my major. I got in and a HS friend didn’t. Neither of us could have afforded to go to school if we couldn’t commute, so being bumped to San Diego or Berkley was not an option. My UCI degree landed me a job making 40% more than my friend who had to go to his ‘fallback’ school of Fullerton State College with a mediocre ICS program. Ten years later, the salary gap was even wider. Your salary history affects the salary offers on your next job.

These is what irks me when someone acts like this is no big deal for Perry. I get the distinct impression he — and all those other politicians — figured to buy votes among latinos and never considered the effect on the citizen students these illegal aliens would displace. My own governor, Moonbeam Jerry Brown, did the same this year, but he’s a Lib. I expected better from a supposed Conservative like Perry.

I tried to read it, but when the supporting material comes from Politico and NY Times it’s hard to take it seriously.

I really much rather hear why to support Perry than a hit piece on another candidate. Trashing another GOP candidate seems to be to be saying, “Vote for my candidate because the other guy does bad stuff.” It’s, in essence, going for the default vote reminiscent of McCain, Dole, et al. It might make a good strategy for the unwashed masses, but won’t do much on FR but stir up trouble. Perhaps that’s your goal?

FourPeas—

Two things to consider:

1. Running a news operation is expensive. I don’t have the luxury to operate a newsroom the size of NYT or POLITICO. Therefore, unfortunately, we have to accept some of our news reporting at face value, from the source. And we have to judge for ourselves if parts of the story appear credible.

2. I have written pages and pages of positive stuff on Perry. This was my first ever solo negative piece I posted here that I can recall. I felt that someone needed to say it first: Cain is not qualified to be president.

I could care less who leaked the story or why.

Obviously, today new info (oh, what a big surprise) is coming out. I have yet to evaluate it.

Until that time, as far as the first allegations went, I see it as asked and answered.

These things must come out and be dealt with one way or the other. My primary objection is to letting the Left pull us into dealing with their way. And to somehow thinking the the media monster can be tamed if only a candidate will “handle it well.”

Bill Clinton, who was a sexual criminal and predator, is said to have handled it well because he lied, stonewalled, and attacked his victims. Regardless, in my view, even Clinton got away with it ONLY because the media liked him.

If the media doesn’t like you (i.e., you’re a conservative), it’s a whole other ballgame.
