Michael Barone, the racist for Romney,
attacks Mr. Cain this week with the lie that
there were “charges”.
There were allegations made by Romney’s “go to” guy, Martin.
Have these “people”, no shame?
“Can Cain Keep Flouting the Cardinal Rules of Politics?”
Sounds like the author assumes that “O” NEVER did!
Michael Barone sat next to the future President Of The United States.
A great deal of Cain’s appeal has to do with the fact he doesn’t represent traditional political rules and cheerfully keeps on breaking them.
If anything, its added to his support that people don’t perceive him to be a conventional politician. People are sick of the ones in both parties who don’t seem to have anything real to them.
They’re like manufactured and their politics are as phony as their personas.
Cain is different and I disagree with Barone his support is going to evaporate. People want something different and they’ll be damned if the establishment force-feeds more of the same that to them represents all that is wrong with the Washington establishment.
..to even mention Ross Perot in this article tells me that Barone just doesn’t get it. Political knowledge notwithstanding, he cannot differentiate between a legitimate grassroots candidate and an eccentric demagogue...
Regarding the harassment scandal: I followed it pretty closely here on Thursday and Friday, and when I made my 1 hour drive home Friday night I listened to NPR. The story they covered was completely different than what I was following. It was like I was in a parallel universe. They didn’t discuss the facts of the case (Cain not being on staff when one case was finally negotiated, or anything like that. They discussed his “flip flopping” as if he came out with a different story every couple of hours (which is bs) and how people are responding to the story, again ignoring the pro-Cain response other than to suggest that his “staunch” supporters still support him.
If all we had to depend on was the MSM these days, Cain would be delegated to just below Ron Paul in credibility. Cain truly is a candidate for an internet world. And it’s working for him.
—And his inconsistent stands on issues like abortion and ignorance that China already has nuclear weapons may still hurt him. —
BS. Both issues resulted from out-of-context quotes, chosen to heighten ambiguity as to meaning. They are trying to do a “Palin” with those.
Cain is breaking all the “rules” and that is exactly what is giving him momentum. It’s also what is frustrating all the political elites who think they know everything. They don’t get that we are tired of what they think, and tired of what they believe works. The American people, right now anyway, are not willing to be spoon fed their BS anymore.
Not only must Cain KEEP breaking the rules, but we the American People need to create NEW rules. This IS the people’s game not the media’s and not those so called political experts. Whether Cain gets the nomination or not the key issue for us is that we don’t let the establishment tell us what we need, and we send a clear message to Washington that we the people are STILL in charge.
The media stays silent on ALL the issues surrounding our President, but these candidates pick their nose in public and we get a scandal about it! Let’s put them out of business...stop all paper and magazine subscribtions...and if you have done it already start getting others to do the same. We don’t need them anymore!
I find it fascinating the “media” — in this case, including Fox News, terms the accusations against Cain a “scandal.”
Yet, the Solyndra and “Fast and Furious” issues don’t even meet the definition of “controversy.”
From what I understand, Cain sent journalists a copy of their own Journalists’ Code of Ethics this weekend as a response to their unethical and dishonest reporting over the last week.
Maybe the journalists should be more worried about following THEIR OWN RULES before they start worrying about Mr. Cain and the political rules!!!

Fox is really pushing Romney hard. saying he is only one capable of beating Zero
None if this — the allegations of inappropriate behavior, mistakes regarding China, his fearlessness in saying what he thinks, his unpolished demeanor — have hurt his campaign. So why should he change just because some expert thinks be should?
The more I see of Rev. Cain and the more I hear him speak, the more I like him. The more he is attacked, the more I like him. So let the pundits, the malcontents, the Romney supporters persecute him. People like an underdog. They just might vote him in out of spite.
The same old canard - ‘Cain's inconsistency vs. the media's repetitive lies.
A key point. Under the "old" rules, candidates needed to amass huge amounts of donation$ early and often to gain any kind of traction. Nowadays, with a little "out-of-the-box" strategic thinking, they can somewhat level the playing field by leveraging that new media. YouTube is an especially valuable tool, and Cain has been particularly adept at using it to his advantage.
Not to say having big cash on hand isn't helpful, because obviously it is, especially down the stretch, but with new, available media options, candidates can move their efforts forward, build support and pull in donations as time goes on.
What I am sensing from this episode — JMO! — is that the phenomenon we’ve all predicted, expected, and counted on, has finally begun to flower. I’m talking about the gradual shift from old media to new.
Computers still aren’t in enough homes, but for sure they’re on the desks (or the laps) of every man, woman and worm in the media, and with each passing hour there’s another one taking some newbie on his maiden voyage into the info ether.
They know their power is disintegrating and their old tricks are increasingly lame.
Recently they leaned on Cain (pun if you please) and fell on their faces. The reason is not that they had no evidence, but that they no longer dare to create any; the carcass of Dan Rather’s career is still fresh in their nostrils. The reason is not that what they had was absurdly thin, but that out of twenty thousand emails there wasn’t one with enough substance to turn a single additional person against Sarah Palin, whereas the fishing expedition probably turned a few more against the misledia.
The reason is not that he’s a black American with a regular birth certificate and a lot of friends from way back and some actual proof of intelligence and achievement. (Plus a shortage of terrorist chums and Nobel prizes.)
These are all quite true, they are facts, obvious even to people who don’t prefer him as the nominee (I’m one of them). They are not reasons why the media has failed to defeat Cain.
People are wise to them now, in sufficient numbers. The attackers simply can no longer take the risk of loading their antique musket and firing it at this Roadrunner.
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. “You decide! We report!”
But the misledia are too worried about keeping their own careers afloat, to manage the destruction of anyone else’s.
They’re as finished as Gail Wynand.
Watching the Morning Joe read the latest polls showing the anonomous accusations boosted Cain's appeal this morning was priceless, as was dumb Mika's reaction. Last week they were sure it was dead.
So much for 'the latest flavor'. Joe and Mika are sure that Obama would beat Cain. Now Mika loves Huntsman.
” - - - the thought occurred to me that I was sitting next to a future president of the United States.”
Hey Michael, welcome to the “Cain Train!”
BTW, tell your pal Dr. Kristol of your new thought.
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.
