Cain Gets Major Applause At Debate After Dismissing Harassment Claim
Real Clear Politics ^ | 11/9/11

Posted on 11/09/2011 8:55:44 PM PST by Kartographer

CAIN: Yes. BARTIROMO: You know that shareholders are reluctant to hire a CEO where there are character issues. Why should the American people hire a president if they feel there are character issues?

CAIN: The American people deserve better than someone being tried in the court of public opinion based on unfounded accusations. That's...

(APPLAUSE)

And I value my character and my integrity more than anything else. And for every -- one person that comes forward with a false accusation, there are probably -- there are thousands who would say none of that sort of activity ever came from Herman Cain.

You're right. This country's looking for leadership. And this is why a lot of people, despite what has happened over the last nine days, are still very enthusiastic behind my candidacy. Over the last nine days...

(APPLAUSE)

Over the last nine days, the voters have voted with their dollars, and they are saying they don't care about the character assassination. They care about leadership and getting this economy growing and all of the other problems we face.

(APPLAUSE)

Also, We do not expect to hear from Mrs. Cain. She may have an issue with public speaking.

For example, John Glenn, Marine Ace Pilot, Astronaut, and Democrat U.S. Senator (Whose leftist policies I hated as Senator BTW), never had his wife speak in public,. She has a severe stutter and is horribly embarrassed by public appearances.

It is a very recent, and mostly Democrat, phenomenon that a candidates wife makes many speeches during an election.

Giving him his presumption of innocence, he’ll handle the “tsunami” just fine. It’s his back he got to watch out for. Sheesh.

So; you believe some who looks like and acts like a minor league hooker with a rap sheet about these kinds of accusations, even with her lawyer standing right next to her.
I doubt that you were ever a Cain supporter or ever would be.

It is not often I have experience of hearing from some one who is obviously DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS; but I must say, your ability to interpret body language is only surpassed by your skills at reading tea leaves, or maybe chicken entrails.

At a chili dinner to meet Steve King the fellow for Rick Perry, the fellow for Mitt Romney, the fellow for Rick Santorum seemed to fail to pique any interest.

Steve King bought a rusted hulk of a D-7 in 1975 and towed it from Nebraska to begin his terracing business.

When he found 42 federal agencies between him and his work he tried to talk to the state senator but got the dead fish glaze-over.

When he tried to get a responsive candidate to run everyone said that would be you.

He went to the state senate and to the U.S. Congress in 2002.

He's sponsoring a bill to recognize the millions of victims of crimes committed by illegals.

He says we will have a window to rip out Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, and a host of regulations.

He explained in a seamless talk his belief the Founders were guided by Providence to create the America of freedom, natural law, free-market capitalism.

We came away buoyed up by a vision of an America rising.

When Alinsky wrote Reveille for Radicals he dedicated it to Lucifer that first among radicals who won for himself a kingdom.

The carping harpies and shrieking fairies of the current Obama Nation have sent out the David Axelrod order to the engine room:

More Bimbos! Throw more bimbos into the boilers!

Behold the Left of 1917 in Russia, 1949 in China, 1959 in Havana, 1979 in Tehran--

Warbucks Soros commands you turkeys to stay in your tents--

More bimbos are being ordered--

The dog's being prepared for wagging--

Listen for the war drums drumming:

Teh-ran-ran-ran-ran--

President Gaga is up in his suite kissing the mirror.

When all else fails, bring on the blonde white women to make accusations against “the black guy”.

With the condescending implication that 'the black guy' has 'urges' he can't possibly control.

That speaks volumes about the Liberals' stereotype of 'black guys'.

If a person lies...they might use a script (crib notes) to outling events which allegedly they recall from 15 years ago. If they are telling the truth, why the crib sheet?

L. Lin Wood has a real “go for the jugular” history and reputation. Ask all the media outlets and others that smeared Richard Jewell in the wake of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics park bombing, for one example.

“What effect do you think Cain’s placing blame for the circus on Perry’s campaign will have?”

In the long run, I don’t think it’ll matter. There are some koolaid drinkers amongst the perry supporters, but I’d like to think they’re in the vast minority.

I think the bulk of the perry supporters will come around. I don’t see them picking mittens over Cain or Newt in large numbers. They might pick Newt over Cain, but that wouldn’t bother me either. Ultimately, I think that Newt and Cain get along well and if it comes down to them being 1 and 2 they’ll decide to team up anyway.

The money and support is pouring in for Herman Cain, but we cannot slow down now. Please help him by donating at http://www.hermancain.com/

Also to help join the buzz about Herman go to facebook.com and “like” him. His “likes” have jumped dramatically since the attacks started. Make no mistake Sean Hannity’s BFF Tokyo Rove is watching Herman’s “likes” and so is Romney. THIS is the way to stick it to the GOP establishment! Please tell your family and friends to “like” Herman as well. Then let’s bring out our most powerful tool for helping Herman Cain: PRAYING that God protects him from the people of darkness.
