I did not “dance on Cain’s grave.”
I do not empower the MSM to take out Republicans through scandal-mongering; I refuse to give them that power. I will not participate.
Issue debates are one thing, as are internal fights (even heated ones). I’ll call out supporters of any candidate on their hypocrisy when I feel it is prudent. I’ll exchange blows with the best of ‘em. No holds barred, within reason. I’ll battle immigration plans, Life issues, electability, or anything else.
However, helping the media get another Conservative scalp through scandal-mongering is the act of a fool. They’ll come for you next. Neither Cain nor Newt nor Perry nor anyone but Romney is our enemy in this contest - whereas the MSM IS WHOLEHEARTEDLY our enemy.
You say Newt had to support Herman, but he did not. He could have said nothing at all, like several others. You forget the simple fact that Newt and Herman are friends, good friends, despite the war going on at FR. It probably never crossed your mind that Newt was sticking-up for a good friend; I promise you it crossed Herman Cain’s mind.
I am wondering if she is mentally ill.
The twitter response by the Cain staff was classic. This is the candidacy that does not stop!
I am having a hard time believing this was a mistake.
If the van was surrounded by people, they were unloading signs and campaign gear, and the place was “hopping,” how could someone mistake that for moving trucks?
This sounds like the “reassess” rumor - no way it was an innocent mistake. I am beginning to wonder if there isn’t a mole at Cain HQ.
Who is ‘she’? Michelle? Or. ..the aide who made unfortunate evaluation; as in ‘mistake’. It happens. . .not nearly as bad; of course; as the mistakes that Cain has made. . .whereby, moving trucks may in fact, pull up in front of his headquarters.
LOL. They are besides themselves. Like a bunch of vultures circling a guy in a desert who has enough food and water for three full days but is yet only 1 day away from his fully operating offroad vehicle with a full tank of gas parked on the main highway and ready to go.
Yesterday you should have listen to her on Laura Ingram radio show. She is just a Tupperware party girl. No class, no content.
It was a delivery truck filled with campaing cash. Oops.
That is a big assuming 'if'. . .
Here is another; IF the boxes were first placed outside the truck per 'unloading'; and someone saw this; they might assume, the boxes were ready to be loaded 'into' truck.
Fact is; we do not know how long this truck was 'viewed' or if just 'spotted'. We do not know if she even saw contents of truck; we only know she tweeted what she imagined/assumed by presence of truck.
And bottom line; per this campaign; this is a 'flat line' per it's importance.
Busted.
Both her and her head guy need to go back to working for Jimmy Carter. If she ever left.
I’ll say this was the work of an clueless “staffer” before hanging it on Mrs. Bachmann. Unless you have evidence she knew about the tweet?
Bachmann has a terrific voting record, and solid stances. I really should ‘love’ her! But damn, this whole campaign of hers, the things she’s said and done, the way she’s comported herself... instead of drawing me into supporting her, it’s made me want to rush to an exit-door as far away from her as possible. There’s a straining opportunism about her that I just can’t take. I just hope she goes back to her House seat and stays the course with her fine conservate voting tendencies. Maybe she can aspire to a Senate seat or governorship sometime, and I can give her a more positive reevaluation.
I think people are being a little rough on Michele here. I like the leadership she has shown over the past couple of years. Why all the hate?
Whatever people initially thought, the tweet was that the trucks were NOT moving trucks but delivery trucks.
Bachmann's been a tough leader in the conservative cause in Congress. This is not her tweet, some staff dweeb's.
I support Cain. I also support Michele in her role in advancing the conservative agenda, just not as President. To call her a Tupperware party girl is insulting.

Your tag says Perry is not an enemy but his supporters sure are. Perry is a joke of course.....he made some duzeys on the attached YouTube video. I would take Bachmann over Perry any day of the week. She is not a gaff machine like Perry. Cain/Bachmann 2012.
cricket, you won’t get any argument from me regarding your perception of Cain. LOL
I just think Michelle, as well as her crew, often go off halfcocked and it sure doesn’t do her any favors. She has become very rude, but I think much of that comes from her desperation.
She will eventually leave the race, but I doubt very much that she will be graceful about it.
If anyone was a "Tupperware party girl", it had to have been LAURA INGRAHAM. She was the most rude and disgusting, mixed in with laudatory things to say.
The old "stroke and bash", "stroke and bash" modus operandi. Bachmann was pretty resilient through the whole fiasco. This Laura Ingraham individual is SO in the tank for either Mittens or Eye of Newt, talking out of two sides of her mouth. She was horrendous about Herman Cain today as well. Bashing Bachmann. Excoriating and making fun of Herman Cain. Yep, attacking two of the most conservative candidates in the race. Real conservative, that Laura Ingraham. /sarc
Nah- she's just a lawyer.
