Can Cain Keep Flouting the Cardinal Rules of Politics?

I’m proud to say I’ve never been nasty as so many people here are to Perry and Perry supporters.

Of course you're not.

You only run around saying Cain supporters are a cult and told one Cain supporter to go play with his blocks.

But you're not spreading the flames. You're Little Miss Innocent. Who, MOI?

Why don't you just admit that you join in the flaming as a Perry partisian instead of acting all above the fray?

I agree with your analysis, but if he survives this and wins Iowa it basically inoculates him on this issue for the general election. That is why I do not fault any Pub hammering on this. If he cannot survive it with Pubs, he will never survive it with the general populace.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

You can binge/purge all day long. I could care less. Especially from threats like the one you just posted. The only other option you seem to be selling is that we all become Cain supporters and chant the same rhetoric in unison.

I simply won’t bend my right to my opinion.

[fireman15]

I couldn't care less who you support and I made no threat. I will be supporting whoever the eventual Republican nominee is. You guys from Texas can dish it out, but you sure can't take it.

Referring to Mr. Cain you said, “He has done nothing to prove it as false, other than say so, which is all Cain has to go on.”

If someone accuses you of something that didn't happen, how can you prove it didn't happen other than making a denial? In this country the burden of proof is on the accuser. So far all we have are nonspecific allegations from anonymous sources. Yet you are willing to jump on the MSM bandwagon and condemn a conservative Republican and condemn Mr. Cain? Your view of justice seems more in line with the Red Chinese than your fellow conservatives.

In the debate with Gingrich over the weekend, they each got to ask each other a question. Cain asked Gingrich, "When you become the VP, what would you like the President to ask you to do first thing?

Hillarious!!!!

Can Cain Keep Flouting the Cardinal Rules of Politics?

I tend to think the old rules still apply.

Uh...

...just what might those 'rules' be?

[Elsie]

Another old rule is that a whiff of scandal sinks a candidacy.

but only if yer a Republican...

[Elsie]

Good one!

Under the "old" rules, candidates needed to amass huge amounts of donation$ early and often to gain any kind of traction.

Ballard was the only Republican to file for mayor, as few members of the city's once-dominant Republican Party were willing to run against Peterson.

Ballard was dramatically outspent by Peterson. He had only $300,000 in campaign funds and low name recognition when he began the race.^[4] In comparison, Peterson already had $2.9 million in April while Ballard had only $9,560 at the time.^[5] As late as October 14, Ballard had run no TV ads.^[5] An October 19 campaign finance report showed that Peterson had raised $1.5 million since April and still had that much on hand to spend. At that point in time Ballard had only $51,000 left, meaning that Peterson had 30 times the funds that Ballard had during the last three weeks of the campaign.^[6]

If he succeeds in the primaries — let the ‘rat overlords deal with him, put a dead girl in his car or the n-word on his tablet.

Well; THAT didn't hurt Teddy; how about a live boy in his bed??

Wait... that doesn't hurt Barney, either.

And HE can SAY the "N" word with impunity!!

Cardinal Rules - written by the Media for the Media.

First rule - destroy Conservatives.
Second rule - publish lies, innuendos and rumors of lies.
Third rule - repeat until the Democrat is elected.

However, we get a litte insulated on forums like this and need to remember that the MSM is still a huge force to the general public.

Yeah; that's what they tell us ALL the time!

[Elsie]

We have two guys running who couldn’t get elected Senator; a sweet woman who’s pretty well self destructed and the one person I think Obama might actually beat because conservatives don’t like him—Romney.

Try again.

We like Mitt a LOT; it's just his damn RINO policies that are dragging him down.

[Elsie]

How 'bout that?

Jimmy Carter has been INSIDE a nuclear reactor!

Josef Goebbels. He is their inspiration, possibly NOT in belief, but absolutely in methodology.

Jimmy Carter has been INSIDE a nuclear reactor!

So that explains it. Radiation exposure. That's where he got it.

Where did you get yours?

Sure I can, it's easy. Even easier than handling an old bag like you.
