This thread brought to you by the same political “geniuses” that brought you McCain 2008 and Dole 1996
Hasn’t NR gotten on the “Slick Mitt” gravy train? I miss the NR of Wm. F. Buckley, Jr., and Joseph Sobran.
It was a set-up. One reportard asked if he agreed with Bush’s handling of Libya right before that, and then another reporter asked about obama’s handling before Cain could answer.
Of course, the first question is cut from the clip being pimped by the LSM.
Hmm Rush Limbaugh says Rick Lowrey’s analysis of this is moronic. I say I have to agree.
RUSH: Now, he said that twice. He said, “Well, I’m for collective bargaining as long as it’s not collective hijacking, and as long as it doesn’t create an undue burden on the state.” Again, the attempt here is to make it sound as though he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But on Libya, when you listen to the whole interview, the whole question and answer, he ended up getting Libya right. His biggest mistake was admitting he was having a hard time focusing. He shouldn’t have said that in front of the enemy, the enemy being the editorial board, but he said I’m having a hard time focusing here.
Federal workers do have collective bargaining. Some of them do. Some federal workers do have collective bargaining. It’s not the same as in some of the states. For example, the air traffic controllers do have collective bargaining over their wages, and some federal workers only have collective bargaining rights over work conditions. Some of them have collective bargaining rights over other aspects, but not wages. It’s all over the ballpark. It is a mistake to say that federal workers, as the editorial board member here said, don’t have collective bargaining rights; some of them do.
In any event, substantively Cain was right. Substantively Cain got it right on collective bargaining for federal unionized workers, and the editors got it wrong. And even the Journal Sentinel article that accompanies the video eventually admitted that Cain got it right in his answer and their editors had it wrong. But no matter, they are attempting to portray via the video here a slow, ignorant, uninformed, unsure of himself candidate who really is just out classed and is just totally out of his league. And the video, under that impression, under those auspices, has gone viral, and that’s the thought accompanying it with everybody who sends it out.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
Yeah, pretty stupid guy to run all those major businesses and public advocacy organizations nationwide, turning some of them dramatically around with kudo after kudo from those who worked with or for him, and being a rocket mathematician for the US Navy Department on top of it, plus brilliantly challenging President Clinton on Hillarycare to his face, humiliating him live television. Cain must be a real lightweight idiot.
People need to stop falling for this!! Watch the WHOLE INTERVIEW.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2809479/posts That’s where the article and discussion of what happened is located on FR. Interesting that the folks at NR are so easily trapped by Leftwingtard propagandists. Could be we don’t need to know what they’re thinking (if they can still think) these days.
However, there is one question that Cain, and his supporters should ask themselves. As a result of the events covered in this article, Cain cannot be chosen as a VP pick by any of the candidates..the reasons why are obvious..since the main job of a VP is to be ready to take over, the nominee wold have to deal with this all over again, in the context of his judgement in picking Cain. The campaign starts behind the 8-ball. It won't happen. Cain will NOT be anyone's pick.
So,we are left to ask if a person who can't be picked as his party's VP nominee should still continue to run for the highest office..?
But I do not believe it; http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/55051.html
See #7 and #8. The whole thing was a setup, a trap, which was then carefully edited to give the impression that Cain was responsible for the confusion.
Rick Lowry is a jackass. It’s been several years since I’ve bothered to visit National Review Online. Bunch of lying Romneybots.
NRO is about as conservative these days as Time Magazine.
Yeah, Cain is dumb and can’t run anything. I mean just look at his record! He couldn’t find his way out of a wet paper bag.
This is all crap, pure crap. I could express all Cains great points here but instead I urge everyone who doubts to research it yourself. Cain is the man!
I’m curious. Are you naturally this much of a completely clueless moron or do you go home at night and practice?
