Several weeks ago we were watching an old Saturday Night Live (SNL) show on Netfliks. This was a show from the 1970’s. The skit I will refernce was a classic parody of an American Express Card. Garret Morris speaks to white America saying if donate to his organization he will provide you a card that will provide those with “White Guilt” credibility with certain folks in the Black Community. Although no names are mentioned, none were really required. It was a good paradoy and it was executed well. Interestingly enough the point made in the parody still applies 30-40 years later, although it may apply to a wider range of population now.

“Gary Johnson may be allied with most of my political views, but, golly, is he weird or what?! Bordering on creepy.”

So optics DO matter to you?

Is Gary Johnson weird bordering on creepy? (Is he really so different from Ron Paul in terms of idiosyncratic speech tics?) His behavior is socially awkward and peculiar; he reminds me of a grade school chum, derisively nicknamed ‘the spaz’, who had a particular fascination with dinosaurs (and later on ham radio). His mannerisms did not endear him to fellow classmates, but I was always struck by the borderline autistic devotion he had to his passions. Admittedly, it’s a strange thing to see late in adulthood, but Bill Gates and Steve Jobs aren’t exactly charmers either. If anything — in politics — be wary of the skilled charmers masquerading as moderate-centrist Democrats.

The Cain Train is going to crash

It remains to be seen if it crashes on it’s own or it takes the USA down with it !

Grover Cleveland and Warren Harding and Thomas Jefferson all had “sex allegations” but they cut taxes and balanced the budgets.

George Dubya Bush and Messiah Obama and Givemhell Harry Truman went around making wars all over the planet and raising the deficits!

Admittedly, Cain is a self-promoting huckster (good analysis is here):

But right now, I’d go for Bill Clinton, bimbo eruptions, and a balanced budget!
Where are Monica Lewinsky, Maria Halpin, Sally Hemmings, and Carrie Phillips when you need them!

When I was single, dating was always a problem even before the so called sexual liberation movement. Too nice and you’re ignored, too strong and you’re abusive. I think that’s why the so called “Game” of Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma males and females is so popular on the internet. The sexual user is the winner most of the time; the nice guy is the loser. So Cain was trying to play the “Alpha male” to a “Gamma female” more than once and gets nailed to the wall for it. How many women jumped at it? Maybe the complaint was justified, maybe not. Bill Clinton played it successfully. Cain should have followed his example, denied everything while puffing out his chest and winking. The liberal (and conservative) females would have defended his harassment suits as battle ribbons and swooned at his feet; he would have gone up five points in the ratings. Playing the race card was a big No-no.

One has to wonder about these women who are now coming out of the “woodwork” so to speak to accuse Herman Cain of “sexual harassment”> From an ABC report that I watched on wnd.com, http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/herman-cains-accusers/story?id=14867409#.TrLUR0Oa9GU, at least one if not all of them are politically connected. If true, it brings into the equation, what is the motivation of these women?

I’m no Cain supporter. In fact, I’ve made up my mind that if Ron Paul doesn’t get the nomination I’m writing in my blue wienie dog for President (I’m thinking a certain parrot could get the nod for V.P.) However, I can’t help but shake my head at the “media” who have spent years shielding Obama from virtually ANY vetting of his past jump all over this Herman Cain thing. You’ll know they’re pulling out all the stops if the next leak is that the anonymous victims were *gasp* WHITE women.

Maybe being an “Authentic Black Man” should require a license similar to a lawyer or physician. You have to take the appropriate courses and take the test. Bill Clinton, for example, might qualify as an “Authentic Black Man” while Herman Cain might not make it.

Ward Connerly, for example, is a White Racist while Ward Churchill is an authentic “Native American Indian”. Get with the program!

It seems that so-called Liberals / Progressives have a mental block and believe certain groups are THEIRS to direct.

“No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.”
Booker T. Washington

(Source: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/b/booker_t_washington.html )

Today, “his own merits or efforts” have, in my humble opinion as they pertain to Herman Cain, are diminished by much of main stream media in that he is referred to as “the pizza guy” – he has accomplished much, much more.

“You can’t hold a man down without staying down with him.”

So MSM and all you others, elevate the level of discussion…this country – our country and home – is on the precipice and we cannot afford the luxury of personal attacks. H C is not my preferred candidate, R P is, but I would take H C over BHO ANY DAY!

I am not a Cain apologist. I don’t really think he is the best choice for President. But I think he is a good, smart, hard working man who would be head and shoulders above the minions of insanity who run the country now. If he does play the race card, so be it. He is up against the world and he’s got only himself to count on. Most of the Republican establishment won’t help and only view him as an embarassment and wish he would bow out so they can advance one of their inside the beltway coountry club candidates like Romney. Herman is OK in my book.
