Mark Block Says Cain Had Best-Ever Fundraising Day

Either despite, or perhaps, because of the sexual harassment allegations dating back to the 1990′s, Herman Cain’s campaign is reporting its best-ever fundraising day — claiming it raised over $300,000 in online donations on Monday.
The Washington Post reports:
Human Events is reporting that Cain Campaign Manager Mark Block says the campaign raised $250,000 in online donations in one day. However, one Cain campaign source confirmed to me that the fundraising for Monday is well over $300,000.
The Cain campaign sent a quote to the Water Cooler blog regarding Monday’s online money haul saying, “The campaign views the increased donations as an outcry of support for Herman and that the base is rallying around him.”
During an appearance at the the National Journal 2012 Election Preview event on Tuesday, Block attributed Cain’s fundraising success to the GOP front-runner’s message on jobs and the economy.
“Obviously we’re doing something right,” he said.
If the momentum continues, rivals’ attempts to smear Cain just might backfire.
Below is a clip of Block’s appearance at the National Journal forum. Watch Block as he bristles at reporters‘ questions and is blasted by rival Rick Santorum’s aide:

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 7:14pmThese are the reasons I will not vote for Herman Cain:
1. He will not resolve the problems the fed have caused our nation for the past hundred years.
2. He has No Experience dealing from with/within the gov’t
3. HE has already flip flopped on important issues to appease segments of voters.
4. He has stated that he would seek council of trusted “in the know” individuals in order to make big decisions (sure to be buddies of the FED and progressive establishment)
5. His tax plan will hit the lower and middle classes so hard driving prices up for everyone and gives the gov’t another venue to extract money from the economy on top of the traditional systems not replacing them. BAD!!
It is not a good idea to vote for the lesser of 2 evils as many of us have done for so many years. We have to get it right this time. Herman Cain will give us “more of the same” and has not shown he will be any different than the puppet masters we have had to deal with for the past 30 years. Many people voted for the inexperienced candidate for “Hope and Change” last time around and see what that got us. Don’t be fooled again.
WAKE UP!!

1. You can’t know that. You are just guessing.
2. I view this as a plus. He won’t fall victim to the games politicians love to play with each other
3. He has not flip-flopped. A flip-flop is a (near) 180 degree about face on an issue. Cain has been willing to take the good ideas of others into consideration, which is what a good leader must do.
4. He will seek the council of his “buddies,” yes. Like every other competent leader before him. Assuming they will be Fed alumni is another stab in the dark on your part.
5. His tax plan will do nothing you claim it will. You feel this way because you have not read the plan, and are relying on “facts” from the leftstream media and the GOP establishment, both of whom are terrified of him.
Cain is the only real hope of change for America. Gingrich and Paul are close seconds. The rest of them are establishment republicans who will indeed give us more of the same old, same old.

Cain lied. Cain said that an Audit would not reveal anything and that there were no “hidden secrets”.

Cain contradicted himself in the Stossel interview.
Stossel: If a woman is raped, she should not be allowed to end the pregnancy?
Cain: That’s HER CHOICE. That is not Government’s choice.

Cain flipped flopped on foreign policy. Here is one example:
Cain disagrees with the killing of Anwar al-Awalaki

Now, he agrees. “In a brief Q&A with our panel after his speech, Cain told the crowd that he fully supported Barack Obama’s decision to strike Anwar al-Awlaki.”

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 8:45pmThe nut job in Libya was a menace, but he was a dog on a leash. Certainly far less dangerous on the world stage than what is taking over. Obama sponsored his extermination to install an islamofascist regime, just like he did in Egypt and Tunisia. With the last “revolution” Algeria became an Arab Socialist Country (aka islamofascist) and that consolidates the Club of Romes “7th Regional Economic Kingdom” absolutely.
Obama truly believes he’s the little idiot who hid in a well (12th Imam). That’s also why he will never work to enforce the Mexican border. That completes absolutely the Club of Romes “1st Regional Economic Kingdom”.
Once Obama gets the rest of Africa “settled” down and Islamofascist (very far along that path), the ONLY trip point preventing the complete 10 Regional Economic Kingdoms from being complete is……….. Israel.
Gee, I wonder how this is going to work out for the “true” Jews? They will be sold out by the Kabbalist fake Jews for a period of peace.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 8:58pmI think he does have what it takes. But people need to understand that Herman Cain is not a professional politician. He’s real.
Report Post »If the people are looking for a professional politician…then that‘s exactly what they’ll get. But I warn you now, if you guys pick just another politician…then don’t expect any serious changes, because it’s not going to happen. We need someone like Herman Cain, right now. We’ve had politicians…look what’s it done for us.
I mean…if you want a professional, why don’t you just vote for Obama, again? You can’t get much more professional than that. And with his teleprompter, he’ll make sure not to make any mistakes that would upset you in the least. And even if he does he’ll have the news to smooth it over to make sure it sounds as good as possible. His grammar will be perfect for your acceptance, and you’ll have a supposed god for the next 4 years. Isn’t that great?
I’m not looking for a perfect person, who’s a smooth talker and a silver tongued devil at that. I want someone who‘s going to stand up and make some real decisions that’s needed in this country. None of the candidates are perfect for that choice. But I feel Herman Cain is the best choice we’re going to get.
There ya go…take it or leave it.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 10:09pmCain is sinking faster than the Titanic. Cain has other problems besides being caught in a lie and being a proven flip-flopper (abortion, 999 or 909 plan, etc). No Cain has a scandel about the funding of his campaign, that reaches up to old smokey and the Koch Brothers.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 11:40pm@jzs Good point. The fact that many (probably most) of Cain‘s church doesn’t support his candidacy proves that the majority, or even significant amount, of Blacks will support Cain. http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/churchs-pride-in-cain-1208642.html Let’s face the facts. Blacks are overwhelmingly Democrat and they will not vote for a black Conservative running against a black Liberal. I hate bringing race into this, but Cain’s race is one of the strong points Cain supporters like bringing up. They believe Cain can take a significant amount of the minority vote away from Obama. Can Cain offer something better than Government run public schools, food stamps, affirmative action, liberal judges, housing assistance, free or cheap medical care, etc. The liberals love to use bribes and the sorts to lure in minorities. Which is, in my honest opinion, prejudice and racist. We Conservatives will not sink to that level. We will not pick out a certain ethnic or racial group and offer them special benefits or privileges. We believe all Men are equal under the law. As a Conservative, I support tougher Criminal laws and stricter Court decisions. This will not fly well with Progressives and social justice advocates. I can go on, but I think you guys know what I mean.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 11:41pmI understand Cain’s problem with abortion. I struggle with this issue myself. I think it’s wrong, but I won’t tell another person what they can do with their own body.
Throughout human history, when things go to hell, children are sacrificed first. If it’s between feeding mom, dad, or the baby….mom and dad must eat first. They have to keep the strength to keep working, and they can make more babies later. It’s succinct, because that’s the hard, cold reality of the situation.
When things aren’t terrible, we want to protect them as well as we can, but I still won‘t stomp on a woman’s right to do what she wants to her body. Call her out in public. Shame her, but don’t arrest her or a doctor.

It goes both ways though, calling Paul and his supporters, crackhead, loony, stupid, idiot, liberals, potheads, druggies, fornicators, cooks, nut-jobs, crazies, hippies, way out there, extremists, anarchists, atheist, morons, trolls, wackos, zombies, Paulistinians, Paul bots, Obama bots, anti-American, haters, childish, loud, obnoxious, zealots, worshipers, cultist, immoral, progressives, etc.
Saying we‘re assassinating Cain’s character by pointing out his own misunderstandings in the economy and other various fallacies in his statements, policies or positions compared to the demeaning names and slurs thrown at us is stretching a bit. I can‘t talk for any Paul supporter here but I know I’ve been civil in my posts. I welcome discussion and discourse with the utmost respect for anyone willing.

Who cares about Romney, Perry, Huntsmsn Jr. or Gingrich? They are pretty much the same.
Going back to Individual Liberty would have it’s growing pains, but stop and think of what is at stake here. Our children, and our grandchildren. They will be the ones who will sacrifice the most, depending on our decision at this time in the grand scheme of things. We have waited too long to change what is to come. We need to figure out which way we want to face it. One way is to elect the same old thing we always get because we listen to their lies. If candidates have to move their position to the center, left or right, or change their story or belief of something, they are lying, period. We can let the economy crash and become part of a One World Economic Order (as Soros would say) or, we can put a person in that believes in the Constitution and lives his life around it, put the brakes on hard at what has taken a century to develop, and put the correction in place that has been hampered by Progressive policies for all that time. We will still see a time of hardship, which I believe will be much shorter than the first scenario, but we owe this to our children’s future which we have put in peril because of our selfish ways. We want what we want and will vote for anyone to keep the status quo the way it is (don’t make waves). We can do better, we can do better and ensure that our children and grandchildren have a future of Liberty, which is about to be lost, lost forever.

You like to parade that statistic regarding the Military supporting Paul around here quite a bit.

When a Paul supporter gives you data, never take it at face value because it’s most always skewed. Do some research..

Very easily misinterpreted to one’s favor if you want to read it that way… or skew it.

Ron Paul has no real political power. And this was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt in 2008. Yes, he can win any ONLINE presidential poll. So what. In 2007 his supporters hijacked the same online polls and Ron Paul won them all. His followers then posed articles all over the internet touting his candidacy. He then suckered his gullible followers like you… telling them that the ”polls showed he could win” and send to him money. Then came the 2008 primaries. Out of the 50 states that were availible for Ron Paul to win, guess how many he won? ZERO. And that is spelled Z-E-R-O. Now let’s go to the present day. His internet saavy paulistas are again winning all the online and straw polls for their idol. His Cult followers are again posting articles about him like he actually has a legitimate chance to win. Then the ”moneybombs” when Paul again fleeces his followers like you, by pointing out that he is ahead in the polls and has a chance to win this time. But their/your delusional fantasy is going to run into a buzzsaw called Republican primary voters. Paul got absolutely destroyed when he ran in 1988, got whipped by John McCain in 2008, and he will be a three time loser in 2012.

I don’t agree with everything Paul says, but his fight for Liberty and his resolve to follow the Constitution outweights the points I disagree with him on. His $1Trillion budget cut plan is phenominal and the fact that his plan balances the budget within his first term is better than any sketchy ‘new tax plan’ put out by Cain that has no time line as to when its Phase 2 will be enacted. There‘s not even a guarantee that his tax plan would be a yea vote for the House and Senate yet everyone talks about it as if it’s a done deal. Paul, as president CAN get rid of 5 cabinet departments because they are run by the president. But few here seem to understand that. From what I interpret from their comments, they just want more wars and more of the same.

That friend would never feel comfortable buying a new car if he wanted to because I would probably have some say so in what he gets because I am flipping part of the bill.
The same applies here for Israel. Friends are friends and look out for each other and are never feel obligated to be a wellfare system. Is Israel more related to the “53%” or the Occupyers?

He is against a Dictator and Totalitarian Executive Power that decides when and where to go to War, without the approval of the People, our Congress. We do have three separate and distinct branches of Government with checks and balances. This is not an anti-war stance, but a pro federal Constitution and Rule of Law stance. Paul is for having a strong military. He is very strong on National Defense. He wants to cut back on wasteful Military spending.
Bringing our troops home to secure our own borders and protecting our own Land and People, is National Defense, and a duty that the President must accept. Sending our troops to foreign lands to fight for other Nations to protect their Rulers and Citizens, on our dime and other resources, is Militarism, and unconstitutional.

And in the Republican party there are plenty of people that ”opposition to islam” is the one issue they feel strongly about. You can go to any anti-Islam or Conservative Jewish site and see that the two politicians that are disliked the most are Obama and Ron Paul. Ron Paul has said ”I don’t believe for one minute the religion of islam is our enemy”. And Paul also attacked the Sunshine Patriots for their oppostion to the ground zero mosque. The fact that a decent sized voting group in your own party considers you one of their main foes is certainly not good news for A Ron Paul campaign. You will get the people who think Israel is oppressing Palestine and the pro Muslim agenda voters will be on Paul’s side. The only problem with that is almost all of that crowd are Democrats who support Obama. A foreign policy of ”let’s hide our head in the sand like an ostrich and blame big bad America and hope that everyone leaves us alone” is not only ignorant, but also dangerous for our country. And the big winners in last November’s elections were the ones who espoused ”american exceptionalism”, not the ones who espoused ”anti-American apologism”. Ron Paul’s foreign policy message goes over well with the Code Pink types, but those type of people tend to be Democrats, not Republicans.

But I will say now, who ever ‘does’ win this…I will be behind that person 100%, and I hope all those that have been mud slinging here the last few weeks will do the same, whoever it is. Obama’s gotta go. Hell, the lamest candidate out there is still better than keeping Obama.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 11:09pm@clarity2199 Paul ranks 3rd (even second in one of them) in the latest Polls. Look up the latest Polls in NH, IA, SC, FL. That is a top tier candidate. Romney, Cain and Paul are the only ones with any significant percentage right now. Newt closely trails, around 4-9%.
Ha. Some moderator .keeps deleting my posts with all these links I have showing Poll results. Whatever.
