WN: CNN Poll: Gingrich soars, Cain drops - CNN

Now were supposed to take the very leftist and liberal NY Times word for our election choices. It's actually quite laughable and ironic.

They are just hosting Nate Silver's models. If you don't want to trust the guy that in past campaigns has been spot on with is predictions then its up to you. In the interest of disclosure I am not on here campaigning for Obama. I actually contributed to the Huntsman campaign when he first announced last spring. The country is in a mess as we need someone capable of getting us out this. The way I see it, there are 2 candidates that might can do that, Romney and Huntsman.

[Matthitjah]

And so what?

Listen to what you just said sis. Does it apply to the other side at all?

This guy comes here every election and spews leftist rehtoric and campaigns for a man and ideology that is tearing down our Nation from within. Meanwhile, others come in and literally work together to get an opinion that they dissent from shut down on the Boards and we aren't supposed to react to it.

You have to understand that for some of us Americans it's time to take a stand. It's an emotional thing for us as we watch our Nation torn down from within. I personally don't have a problem with folks pointing out an obvious agenda.

I haven't seen anyone being mean spirited in this thread yet.

I wondered when Gingrich would get his turn to be a frontrunner. I wonder if his frontrunning status will last longer than Bachmanns, Perry's or Cain's. It's like watching musical chairs. Meanwhile, Romney seems to be the only one who sees the wisdom of keeping his mouth shut.

Seems to me that the way it went last time, was that the media was nuts for McCain. He was the Maveric, the guy not afraid to go agains his party, and the media followed him around and even rode in his magic bus, McCain was a good guy. McCain got the GOP nomination.

Of course, McCain was not favored by conservatives, he was too liberal, and whenever the GOP moves to the center, it loses votes. I think the media wanted to install McCain, so that the Democrats could win.

It looks to me that we have the same thing again. Romney is hardly a conservative, and is way left of the base. And of course we see the media talking him up, and telling us he is the only guy in the GOP who can beat Obama, which tells you that they want the GOP to install him, so that Obama can beat him, and even if Obama loses, then it won't be so bad, as we will have a flip flopping, left leaning Republican, no drastic changes likely.

On the other hand, if you get someone who actually sounds conservative, speaks up for that mindset, and begins to get traction in the polls, the media jackals come out in droves to bite at the heels of such a one, and will try to hurt their reputation, call them radical, stupid, hard hearted, racist, sexist, etc, or dig deep looking for someway to scandalize the candidate.

There was plenty of room to scandalize both Clintons, Mr. Gore, Obama, but they will not go there, the mostly focus venom only on the specific Republicans that are a threat to the Democratic power structure.

Each Republican conservative that rises too close to the top of the polls, they will attack in hopes of getting their candidate from the GOP (Romney) in place.

All that being said, I would still take any from the GOP in preference to any thing the Dems have offered since JFK (not that I liked him that much, but he had his good points.

This kind of talk makes me want to leave until the election is over. Or bang my head against a brick wall, I don't know which.

Relax, we only have a year and it will all be over... for....maybe a couple of months before it starts all over again.

I think we should pass a Law, no running for office until 6 months before the election.

Sis,

Go back and check Forrests posts.

It's not mean spirited at all. It's merely a pattern that anyone reading the Boards can discern.

In fact, I'll give Yod his props. He predicted this would happen. In fact he predicted that Forrest himself would show back up and begin to campaign for Obama. Yod nailed it.

I didn't say anybody was mean spirited.

.... That leaves the field wide open. If one noteworthy person should suddenly come on the scene

they would be swamped with requests to run, regardless of party!

Praying for that worthy person.

If One Noteworthy Person Should Suddenly Come On The Scene They Would Be Swamped With Requests To Run False Accusations, Regardless Of Party! Case In Point, Take Mr. Cain....

Cain has a favorability rating of just 32%.

The guy is literally a joke. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7388265n He makes Sarah Palin look like William F. Buckley. Moreover, I don't think even he considers himself a serious candidate and is just in this to sell books. He doesn't have much a campaign on the ground in early primary states, what little campaign he does have does a terrible job responding to scandals, and he doesn't even campaign that much in the early primary states. The guy is just the latest "Anybody but Romney" to rise and fall.

It would appear you are just here to tear down Cain. Actually Cain has done a marvelous job at handling this fake scandal and the liberal smear campaign that has been launched agaisnt him. He is an African American which removes the ability of you guys to accuse us of racism.

If the Obama adminstration were so eager run against Cain, there would not be a smear campaign. In fact, the left didn't care about Cain at all until he suddenly started doing well in the polls and has become an unexpected Republican favorite. In the last election, opposition to Obama was simply cast by the left as racism. They did not have to face the glaring lack of executive experience because they could always run the race card to silence any criticism of Obama.

The liberals have tried to cast conservatives as dumb white anti-intellectual bigots who cling to God and guns and hate people of color. But that image of conservatives falls to dust because the republicans love Cain. And this manufactured "scandal" isn't having the desired effect. By their caluclations, Cain should have dropped out by now, and the Christian right should have abandoned him, but that is not what is happening. People are smart enough to note that the scandal is fake and the timing of it is too obvious and they are holding on to Cain. So the left needs it storm troopers to jump on websites like this one and launch another smear campaign. And here you are.

Cain is a real conservative, he is an intelligent, articulate man and he is an African American and he has a better education in the real world than Obama does. Is her perfect??? No, but we can't expect a perfect candidate; they all have flaws, but Cain is nowhere close to being stooge you make him out to be.

So, you're problem is in pointing out the obvious then?

[nebula]

A Romney nomination is a guaranteed Obama win.

The majority of the Christian base to the GOP could not in good conscious vote for him on account of his being a Mormon.

The Liberals know this.

So stacking up and promoting Romney is to their advantage.
