It looks like it’s Cain’s turn to wear the bullseye. The Communists are on a roll. Hell, we don’t need primaries. The communist party is weeding out the field for us. The Kenyan sure is lucky that he’s a communist too. He couldn’t have survived one day of this kind of BS.
Cain is going have to sort through his feces before he flushes, in order to avoid this degree of scrutiny
At least nobody was drunk /s
OK maybe I’m wrong but my understanding is the campaign finance laws only apply to candidates after they become a candidate. Before that hes not a candidate. So how can activity months before he filed and announced as a candidate be a violation of such laws?
I was one of the donors on Monday. The purpose of the attacks is to plant seeds of doubt and lower the level of support for his campaign.
Once again, let’s assume Block and Hanson did nothing wrong, and Cain was not involved.
The one thing that sticks out to me, because again it is the sign of a candidate who can’t run a campaign staff, is that on Monday, Cain said he knew nothing of the report, but his campaign chairman had the full report a week earlier.
Now, why would the campaign chair keep the candidate in the dark about something as serious as this allegation? Wouldn’t you want to discuss it at least enough that the candidate knows what we are talking about?
Or maybe that’s just how Cain chooses to run things — staying above the fray and paying little attention to the details. He does seem to have a bit of uncuriousity about a lot of things that I would expect him to want to know about.
Just saying it’s rather obvious these “campaign finance laws” are a ridiculous waste of time. We’re talking about failure to list something in reports, and this is being treated as a capital crime.
The MSM is merely a PR effort run out of the basement of the DNC in D.C. for all intents and purposes. Noise.
Seriously, that guy is bad news and Cain should dump him.
He started accepting donations in January.
staying above the fray and paying little attention to the details.
Could be. Wonder if this was his CEO style?
Cain did not announce his candidacy until the about the end of May.
Everything before that was exploratory committee kind of stuff, and they aren’t subject to the same restrictions as is an actual candidate. This makes sense in that they don’t know if they have the support to actually run for the presidency.
The stuff in this article is about January, February, and March....all in the period BEFORE Cain announced.
The people giving money to you at that time are not “campaign donors” since there is no campaign yet. They are the troops that found the campaign, and of necessity, these things start small and then grow. That’s common sense.
Otherwise we’re saying that only extremely wealthy people or those with a multitude of backers at the beginning are eligible to run.
$40,000??? Is this a joke? What about the MILLIONS IN FOREIGN CASH Obama received in 2008 that was never investigated?
I can certainly understand delegation.
No man can manage all the minutia, but there are cracks appearing as to overlooking serious details in the campaign.
We should certainly accept your assumptions of no wrongdoing. That being said, Block is looking like more of a headache to Cain than he’s worth, IMO. I think I’d find a way to ease him out.
I’m begining to worry about how often in Cain threads someone compares him to Obama. I think we should stop that.
Just last week the mantra was “Let Block be Block.”
Thank you for presenting the FACTS.
