Even if the rats lose to mittens, they don't really lose.

But if the rats lose to Cain, the Democrat party as it exists today will be destroyed. Look to who has the most to lose.

The left is absolutely terrified of the idea of having to actually run on the issues, or having to actually defend their ideology instead of using “arguments instead of arguments” like “you’re a racist, they explained.”

And if Herman Cain is the candidate, many Americans, both black and white, will look at him, and discover that the left's hold on them was all because of a lie. Even if the left were to lose 5% of the black vote, it'd be over for them.....for a long time.

Does the title of a blog have to make literal sense?

If so, I was unaware of that...

I think you are wrong. It is perfect timing for the Democrat smear. It could be plausibly pinned on fellow GOP rivals, and it is imperative to knock him out before he secures the nomination.

If they waited until the general, it would have been obvious that it was a dem job. Furthermroe, he would be much harder to stop after gaining that momentum.

They`d all have motives to be in on it, but the Chicago-style tactics used are very similar to the ones Obama`s people used against his Dem primary opponent and GOPer Jack Ryan in the Senatorial election in 2004. It has Axelrod`s stink on it.

"every accusation against any GOP presidential candidate can and should be looked at with a grain of salt -"

Absolutely. Democrats have lied, cheated, slandered, libeled, and committed perjury in the name of defeating their opponents and maintaining power. Nothing that they and their organ grinder monkeys in the MSM allege should be taken seriously without factual verification.

I can’t seem to find a filing anywhere.

Don't be so nit-picky, Larry.

According tho the Facebook link at the blog:

3 people like USBC News.

Don't mess with the big boys. It's a class operation, spanning possibly more than one household.

They also wanted everyone to believe this was republicans doing this because they are RACIST and don’t want a black man as president.

LOL. They shut up pretty damned quick didn’t they? The only one being mouthy for now is Gloria the Red.

Agree 100%. They can smear folks can speculate it’s from GOP rivals. To be honest, Cain didn’t help himself by first accusing Perry.

The 1st Politico article says they were shown documents. Very few people would possess or have access to documents that are supposed to be confidential. This points to Joel Bennett or Sheil O’Grady

Calling yourself a “corporation” when you aren’t one is misleading advertisement at best and fraud at worst.

So, yes.

They thought if we show him as a black man hitting on white women all his racist supporters would turn on him. Our biggest advantage is our enemies have no idea who we are and we understand them perfectly.
Good point. They believed their own hype. They believed their own lives.

And then they sent in Gloria AllWhore to close the deal.

Fatal mistake.

USBC is not my website.

As you can see, I’ve been dabbling at FR since 2003, but please let me know if I’ve somehow erred in posting this.

I thought it was relevant as the only I’d seen aside from Coulter’s, and the only that wasn’t an opinion piece.

Given the legal issues with posting, I always post excerpts to avoid issues.

There’s good reasoning in what you say. But the political calculus is like chess; you have to try to perceive things as many moves ahead as possible. Obama’s people may have figured that, among the Republican field, they’d like to go up against anyone but Cain. As many have noted, Romney is perfect because he is despised by the conservative base, cancelling out Obama’s weak standing with the leftist base, and he is neutered on the Obamacare issue by RomneyCare.

On the other hand, Cain may be the guy they fear the most. He’s black, so they have a hard time with the race card. He’s a businessman, so he can talk circles around Obama in terms of real world economics and job creation. He’s tough as nails, so he won’t go mushy under attack by the Chicago machine, he’ll fight back and the public will see David standing courageously up against this corrupt Goliath.

In these terms, one might see that Obama’s best play was to eliminate Cain before he could grab the nomination, because once he’s nominated, Obama is in a helluva fight that not even an October sexual harassment surprise could win. If I’m right, their internal polling and focus group data must be showing them that Cain is very dangerous indeed, which is good news for fans of the Hermanator.
