“Just shifted the target off Cain’s back onto his.”

Ya. Remember, he walked into his dying wife’s hospital room and strangled he so he could date some other woman. He robbed 2 banks and kicked a dog too.

This is what Bachmann said today about Newt & Mitt:

Michele Bachmann, in an appearance with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, swiped at both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich over the individual mandate portion of the health care reform bill.

“There is a distinction between the candidates. We have candidates that have been for the individual mandate in health care with Obamacare — Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich. We have five of the candidates that have been for the $700 billion TARP bailout, five of the eight that are up there. That’s a big issue. That laid the foundation for the automobile bailout and all of the mortgage bailout and it laid the foundation for the stimulus. We have candidates who have been for the global warming cap and trade program. That’s something that most of our primary opponents aren’t aware of.”

Here is the real translation......

Since we in the Media and Press have realized by trashing Cain's Character did not work.... We are now going to try to convince you that he is losing support and Gingrich is now in second.

Even though Cain's money is at an all time high, he was protected by the crowd at the Republican debate the other night, the State of Florida is now pretty solid in the Cain camp and that all of the top Tier of Conservative talk radio seem to really like Cain a lot. ...

See we at the Media and Press have more ammo for Gingrich, Romney than Cain. If you put Cain in there, then Obama loses.

However, If we get Gingrich or Romney in there we have enough crap on them to ensure another Obama victory.

So believe our anti Cain poll. Please we do not want a real conservative that loves America in the White House.

yep this poll is total garbage, it not only had non republicans in it, it also was sort of a push pole, because they also asked a lot of questions about the Cain sex scandal thing.

I would throw this poll in the garbage, this was done to prop up Romney’s numbers and nothing else.

Anyone else thinks polls are manipulated?

Only when they don't say what I want them to. LOL

A national poll of 347 registered Repubs and independents. Did Ed Morrissey mention that? Whoops, he musta forgot.

Garbage poll. Hot Air sucks.

Yeah enjoy it while it lasts. Just shifted the target off Cain’s back onto his.

But, wait...weren't you the one just saying Newt was now going to get glowing treatment from the media because he was "plan C" after Romney and Perry? So, which is it? He's going to be "pushed" by the media, or he's now a target?

If you are going to spin a conspiracy, at least keep it consistent for longer than 10 seconds. Pick a story and stick with it. Please.

Here a notion for you. Make a case FOR your candidate, don’t just throw out personal attacks at everyone else’s candidates.

I might have to vote for Gingrich (Romney has always been dead to me). No problem with Cain personally, but I don’t think 9 9 9 works at all in real life. I could see Gingrich as a place holder.

Excuse me? Where was my "personal attack"? I've been highly critical of Newt in the past, but I'm afraid he's the best of what we've got left. I just call 'em as a I see 'em, but I haven't gone on a "personal attack" on your man Cain.

Newt is a RINO.

No More Rinos. He has sold us out before. No thanks.

Newt has a steamer trunk full of stuff that will delight the media. But it won’t come out because this poll is an outlier.

Newt’s being promoted by the media to hurt Cain.
