It starts by saying Cain needs to be patient with VOTERS, then the rest of the story is about Cain not being patient with REPORTERS. Voters and reporters are not the same thing.
I say good for Cain. It's time Republicans quit playing softball with MSM reporters who don't treat both parties equally. They go after GOP candidates hard, but take it easy on Democrat candidates.
We need to start calling these guys out.
Yeah...it’s always about them.
I am pretty good with anybody who is openly hostile to most of the scumbag MSM types.
I like Cain more and more
“On Wednesday at a campaign stop in Iowa Falls, Iowa, the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO called reporters “idiotic” for taking him seriously about only signing three page bills.”
I guess I’m an idiot too then; because I thought that he was onto something good there.
How much shorter would bills be, if there were no pork included? How much shorter would they be, if they were written in plain English?
From the MSM’s “this conservative candidate is a lightweight who can’t be taken seriously” template. Never saw a story like this about how thin-skinned Barry is with the press, which would be more appropriate since they absolutely adore him.
Herman Cain Frustrated by ‘Nitpicky Reporters’ and ‘Idiotic’ Press Corps

Somewhere Sarah Palin is saying; “Dude. Welcome to my world.”
Being openly hostile isn’t the answer. Simply stating that you already been asked hundreds of questions on that point, have answered them all, and you won’t be making any further comments on it is the best way to handle it.
Let the reporter sit there and stew.
I like Cain. I just think there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about this. You have to be reasoned, even if the Leftist press can’t be.
I don’t want a populist that bullies the press. That’s not the way to go either.
I like Cain. I could easily vote for the guy. I don’t want to see him go down that path.
I believe in what General Sherman once said about reporters during his siege in the South...simply:
“every reporter is an enemy and should be shot”
Works well for me.
Poor Herman.
He has no idea.
If it looks like he might be a serious contender, the media will be merciless. He needs to review how the media have treated Palin since 2008.
He ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
They did the same thing with Reagan, but he never forgot that he was talking to the American people through a biased media and he would answer the questions with his own message. The media thought he did not understand the questions but the public got the message.
You know, if Cain didn’t get upset so easily he may have had a chance.
the media took on the mantle of speaking for voters. If the reporters find something important, then its the ppl who find it important. The public have the right to know!! You mean you partisan reporters want to know
If he would just get back on their plantation, renounce conservatism and quit acting like a runaway, you cannot imagine what a darling of the MSM he would become.
My respect for Cain just went up several more notches.
“It probably wasn’t politically correct to raise my voice,” he said a moment later, upon reflection. “But do you know what’s resonating with the American people? I’m going to be myself. I’m not going to be a punching bag.”
He’s saying what a lot of struggling, frustrated Americans are feeling.
Good strategy.
If Cain is this thin skinned afte ronly a couple bad stories when he gets the full Palin treatment he will crack like a walnut in a nutcracker.
Cain doesn’t have the ability to fight the press and fight the other GOP and the dems. He needs to pick his battles better...
