Herman Cain’s Iowa Campaign Freefalling With Yet Another Iowa Staffer Resignation
caffinatedthoughts ^ | Tuesday July 5, 2011 | Shane Vander Hart

Caffeinated Thoughts has learned that Herman Cain lost yet another Iowa staffer. Charlie Gruschow, former leader of the Des Moines Tea Party, resigned from the campaign on Sunday “to pursue other interests.” Gruschow had been an early supporter and activist for Cain having been with him since last year even though he was only on the payroll since May. This is the third Iowa staffer that Cain has lost over the holiday weekend. Tina Goff, Cain’s Iowa State Director, and Kevin Hall, his Ames Straw Poll Coordinator, resigned amidst frustration that Cain is not making a serious effort in Iowa.

Their complaints seem valid. Between May 1st through July 2nd Cain has participated in only four town hall events. He also gave a couple of quick appearances (like the Strong American Now Conference) in Iowa. Yesterday he made two stops in Iowa – Winterset and Indianola, and now he’s on the east coast. He just has not done serious campaigning in Iowa.

His campaign seems to be employing a nationwide strategy that doesn’t make sense in a primary race

[....]

One rumor has been confirmed however… the rumor about a staffer engaging in homosexual conduct is true. This refers to Scott Toomey who is openly gay and before working for the campaign was the treasurer for a gay pride organization in Wisconsin (he was removed as treasurer prior to an investigation of the organizations finances). Stacy McCain reports that he is a former employee, but he is still listed as an advisor with POLITICO. This sheds some light on Cain’s remarks in Pella about being willing to hire a homosexual, because he has already done so.

Yes, I see the link to a web page with all of the talking points against Herman Cain.

Why don’t you just post the points here so people can discuss them? Probably it’s because every point, has been addressed on FR many times and you’d prefer to mislead people than actually have them discover the truth.

I'd be careful with that term, as it's starting to be used against those that use it consistently.

Just sayin'.

.
By “discuss” I assume that you are referring to your habit of stuffing a thread full of adhominem and agit-prop to discourage real discussion?

The link is better; it allows everyone to read the facts in peace.

Um, no.

If I see a misleading (or false) statement, I post Herman Cain’s own comments and other facts related to the issue.

Speaking of Deranged, supporting my candidate does not involve vowing to crawl over broken glass.

Then you're just not committed to the cause.

You need to grow stronger in your Palin Derangement Syndrome.

If it was ignored, then why did you respond to it?

Sigh. PDS. SARAH! would not have made a mistake like that.

You’ll see just how deranged when Sarah Palin takes her place in the oval Office and starts dragging the country back up the slippery slope.
