If you do not like the attention this is buying your candidate, tell his stooges to get out of the smear games and stick to the issues.
No one in the MSM seemed to catch them or just ignored that fact!
If anything is settled out of court the one who gets the money is considered innocent. People don't understand how insurance companies work.
Lawsuits are considered the easiest way to get rich-better than the odds of winning the lottery.
“The 1st source to “validate” these these hearsay claims for the Junk Media is a pollster who works for a Perry pac. Perry’s Arizona State Coordinator was tweeting about this smear before the story broke.”
One of the first RINO’s to criticize Cain was Michael Steele. Before jumping Steele’s ship at the RNC, Curt Anderson considered Steele a personal friend of 15 years.

Adviser: Steele overhauling GOP
By CURT ANDERSON | 3/9/09 4:59 PM EDT
Curt Anderson is a partner at OnMessage Inc, a Republican media and polling firm. He is a top adviser to Chairman Steele and has been Steele’s personal friend for 15 years.
http://www.mediaite.com/online/michael-steeles-karl-rove-curt-anderson-cuts-ties-with-rnc/
(Curt) Anderson, who had played a central role in Steele’s surprise victory last January, had stepped back from day-to-day involvement with the RNC several months ago — leaving McKay as the lone voice of opposition to the chairman, according to several informed sources.
Politico’s Jonathan Martin has a statement from Anderson about his decision:
Ken McKay’s departure is a huge loss for the Republican Party,” Anderson said in a statement to POLITICO. “Ken steered the party through very successful elections last fall that have given us tremendous momentum. He’s a great talent. Given our firm’s commitments to campaigns all over the country we have concluded it is best for us to step away from our advisory role at the RNC. We have high personal regard for the Chairman and always have; we wish him well.

A friend of the Cain campaign believes a National Restaurant Association (NRA) employee out of the Chicago office leaked the story to the Perry campaign via information and influence from Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office.
Possible tie-ins between Chris Wilson (Wilson Research Strategies, WRS), The National Restaurant Association (NRA), Rahm Emanual, etc.

(Chris) Wilson served as Executive Director of the Republican Party of Texas when President George W. Bush was governor, working directly for Karl Rove, and following Karen Hughes when she left the Party to join the campaign.
Wilson served as Global Director of Research for Weber Shandwick from 1999 - 2001. He started his own firm, Wilson Research Strategies, in 1998.

City strikes deal to keep restaurant show
Financial package worth $2 million comes after group reschedules to avoid NATO, G-8 summits
July 27, 2011|By Kathy Bergen, Tribune reporter
The National Restaurant Association announced Tuesday it will keep its show in Chicago next year, but it will move the dates to avoid overlap with the NATO and G-8 summits.
The high-profile show will be held May 5-8, rather than May 19-22, at McCormick Place, where it has been a fixture since 1950.
The decision was made after Chicago came forward with a one-time financial package aimed at reducing some losses that could occur due to the schedule change. The association, the city’s convention bureau and the mayor’s office declined to discuss the specifics of the deal.
The package is worth about $2 million and includes public and private funding sources, according to sources close to the deal. That total includes noncash items, such as marketing and attendance-building services that the bureau often provides to trade shows, sources said.
(snip)
Mary Pat Heftman, executive vice president of convention for the restaurant association, said Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the convention bureau “worked to mitigate potential losses” and pledged to help drive attendance on the new dates.
Emanuel helped to bring NATO and the leading industrial nations to Chicago using his influence as a former White House chief of staff, and he found himself scrambling to ease the resulting timing conflict.
Losing the restaurant show, even for one year, would have been a public relations nightmare for the city, which is racing to recover from a federal court ruling tossing out labor-rule changes aimed at reducing exhibitors’ costs.
The restaurant show is one of the city’s largest, this year drawing 58,000 attendees who packed hotels and restaurants, and generated an estimated $93.3 million in spending. It typically is the big game in town during its run.

NRA, Texas Gov. Perry push for ethanol waiver
June 24, 2008
WASHINGTON National Restaurant Association officials and other food industry representatives concerned about ethanol-related food inflation joined Texas Gov. Rick Perry here Tuesday to call on the Environmental Protection Agency to approve his request for a waiver of the Renewable Fuels Standard, or RFS.
Perry, backed by the NRA and other members of the recently formed Coalition for Balanced Food and Fuel, told an audience at the National Press Club that a reduction of this year’s RFS mandate would ease skyrocketing corn prices that have hurt his state’s livestock and poultry industries. Perry in April petitioned the EPA to cut the mandate from 9 billion to 4.5 billion gallons of ethanol blended into the nation’s fuel supply.

Now, unless you know more than I do, this is your "evidence," [Oct 31 (Post #9) y af_vet_rr posted a photo of a tweet]
I went to see who she's (slmbolick) on a tweet with (victoria_29) and found an exchange between victoria_29 and "RB Jazzy" where Bolick was *pinged*
**************************
victoria_29 @ @RBJazzy Hon Facts are NOT slime....Cain is slimy you're just too damn lazy to research or maybe just too RINO@PROUDofTEXAS @slmbolick
*************************************************
victoria_29 goes on to exchange with RBJazzy Cain's flip-flops, pro-live and 2nd Amendment issues, along with his support of Pro-Choice Dems over GOP in Nebraska -- then let's RBJazzy know that talking about someone's record isn't an attack. This was a segment of exchanges in a longer list of tweets about an awful baseball game victoria_29 was watching and tweeting about.
Now I'm sure you'd like to make it that the AZ coordinator was talking about Cain's latest problems but it appears that only his previous "misstatements" and positions were being debated with the expectation more would come out when Bolick tweeted: "This is the same thing I’m hearing in AZ! Wait until they actually do the oppo on @THEHermanCain. It’s not pretty."
Nice ham sandwich you Cain supporters are trying to whip up.
