I think this tweet could be:
It doesn’t even matter what the video looks like or what it says. If Michelle Malkin whose conservative credentials are unquestionable is saying this, that is simply disastrous for the Cain campaign. That’s why I included the follow-up tweet, once someone says “The emperor has no clothes” then it begins. It’s the Sarek of Vulcan moment:
Star Trek Journey to Babel Nov 17, 1967
And yes this is likely the only time in her life that Michelle Malkin will be compared to Spock’s father.
If I’m the Cain Campaign I schedule an interview with Malkin STAT and prep big time.
Of course if he took my advice and Hired Jimmie Bise or Stacy McCain….
Oh Yeah November fundraiser still ongoing please consider kicking in.
Update: This Sarek of Vulcan Michelle Malkin post is even worse
Update 2: Here is the Star Trek clip via CBS
I’m still a huge Cain fan, and will gladly vote for him if he gets the nomination, but I am reconsidering my primary vote. There is still plenty of time. That interview clusterfark is what did it for me. Cain just didn’t seem to know basic facts about very current events, I want a President that is very obviously more up to speed than I am on the goings-on in the ME. Cain has a very bad habit of falling back on stock answers like “I need all of the information before I make a decision”.
That simply will not fly as leader of the free world. Very often, a President will NOT have “all of the information” when a decision needs to be made. The ability to make a decision during an emergency (even if it turns out ultimately to be wrong) is what makes a leader. Would Cain have ordered civilian airliners to be shot down during 9/11 the way Cheney did, operating in an fog of conflicting reports? I don’t think so anymore. I hope I am wrong, honestly.
He’s not a politician. He doesn’t speak like one. He doesn’t act like one.
He’s a businessman first. He speaks like one. He acts like one. He makes decisions like one. And it sounds like he doesn’t take any shit from anybody.
I was a huge Cain fan from the beginning. About two months or so ago I realized that I made a mistake. I like him, I like his message. But he isn’t up for the task. The past three years have shown us very clearly how important it is for someone to have a real grasp of the issues that are facing our nation. Sadly, Cain is not that man. He shouldn’t even be considered for the VP slot either.
Yes, we are all supposed to move on to Newt Gingrich now.
Some conservatives like Michelle Malkin will think Herman Cain was wrong to express support for collecting bargaining rights, but he perhaps is thinking Republicans will need votes from one or two union members come next November.
The Libya answer was not so much wrong as exhibiting the pattern of not having the right answer on the tp of his tongue for every single question that comes up.
