The Implosion of Herman Cain
Redstate ^ | 11/14/2011 | Leon H. Wolf

Posted on 11/14/2011 8:30:40 PM PST by TBBT

Anyone who saw the debate on Saturday night and observed Herman Cain’s performance clearly saw a man who was terrified of the questions he was being asked and was hoping to be noticed as little as possible. Apparently, there was a good reason for that. Herman Cain apparently sat down with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel editorial board to talk foreign policy and, well… this happened.

Now, normally I would include a description of what happened in this video but this is one of those videos you really do have to see to believe. You cannot grasp how utterly clueless Cain is in answering this question until you see his physical discomfort – and you wouldn’t believe that he didn’t know whether Obama supported the rebels or not unless you saw it for yourself. (Apparently, in another nugget from this same interview, Cain indicated that he believed that public sector employees should be able to bargain collectively so long as that did not impose a burden on taxpayers – which is a little like saying he would be in favor of invading Iran so long as no one got killed.)

During the infamous debate in witch perry forgot the energy dept, I saw virtually every candidate hope on Perry’s position about States rights.
Seems like he was leading the matter
SS reform was the same thing.

That video is downright painful to watch. When you add this to his ignorance of the "right of return," supporting the release of all the Gitmo-ites for the release of one of ours, his policy of stopping Iran being that we drill more domestically, and on, and on...it's more than clear that he doesn't have a clue about foreign affairs. Sure, no one knows every leader's name or can quote the minutia of the Treaty of Waapaagoogoo, but c'mon, Herman, these are VERY BASIC QUESTIONS AND POLICIES.

What?

Were we watching the same interview?

I thought she was honest, direct, graceful, loyal, intelligent, and would make a first Lady I could be proud of.

I have no idea where you are coming from, but bless your heart, anyway.

People can also mock him on the border, but he knows the issue better than anyone on the stage.

I’m going to blame RINO conservative websites, like Red State, when Obama is re-elected President.

Have they no shame writing port-a-potty graffiti against Herman Cain?

The future of America depends on us electing a conservative as President. And right now, Herman Cain is ready and able to save us from the Obamanation destroying our country.

It’s a troll. She’s very ‘concerned’ for Mr. Cain’s campaign.

What is clear is they cannot get him on something big, so they are trying what is called "the death of a thousand cuts". NO they do NOT want this man Herman Cain anywhere near the levers of power in Washington D.C. and they will do everything to stop him, even the unimagineable--which I would not rule out. We are witnessing it right now and it is reprehensible. So help me, there is a special place in HELL for these evil little communist people trying to destroy a perfectly good, decent and honest Conservative man, Herman Cain:
