Herman Cain Will ‘Dial Back’ Campaign Appearances to Prevent Further Slip-Ups

Herman Cain Will Dial Back Campaign Appearances to Prevent Further Slip UpsRepublican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Saturday he will be cutting back on public appearances in an effort to avoid more of the slip-ups that have dogged his campaign in recent weeks, even as he’s surged to front-runner status.

Cain — fresh off a $5 million fundraising haul generated during the month of October alone — has nevertheless raised some eyebrows and prompted inquiries on issues including abortion, illegal immigration and treatment of terror suspects.

Last week, Cain told CNN that while he strongly opposes abortion, “the government shouldn’t be trying to tell people everything to do, especially when it comes to social decisions that they need to make” — viewed by many as more of a pro-abortion position. He later issued a statement reaffirming his opposition to abortion.

The same week, he suggested building an electrified fence along the U.S.-Mexico border that would kill illegal immigrants trying to enter the United States. Cain later called it a “joke” and apologized if anyone was offended by the remarks.

The Associated Press reported:

Cain has chalked up the mistakes to a grueling campaign schedule jammed with media interviews. Such itineraries are standard fare on the presidential campaign trail and it is unclear how aggressively he will restrict his schedule.

A former pizza magnate who has never held elected office, Cain is adapting from a longshot candidate hustling for any media attention to a front-runner who must be more selective with his time and disciplined in his message.

“When you‘re too tired you’re not on your `A game,’” the 65-year-old Georgia businessman told a throng of reporters who greeted the arrival of his bus on the Samford campus.

He said it was a mistake to schedule interviews immediately following debates. Cain maintained he did not flip-flop on issues, but simply did not hear questions properly.

The blunt-spoken Cain has been more cautious lately. At a campaign stop at the Alabama Republican Party headquarters on Friday, Cain paused then asked a reporter to repeat a complicated two-part question on immigration.

“I don’t want to have to clarify,” he said with a laugh.

He’s not the only GOP candidate considering cutting back his time in the public eye: Texas Gov. Rick Perry said this week he intends to skip some of the upcoming candidate debates to focus on meeting with voters in the all-important early primary states.

“These debates are set up for nothing more than to tear down the candidates,” Perry told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. “It’s pretty hard to be able to sit and lay out your ideas and your concepts with a one-minute response.”

Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan noted that there have been eight GOP debates so far, and Perry — who entered the race later than the other candidates — has done five.

“There is no way to do all of them, particularly as the elections are rapidly approaching in Iowa and New Hampshire,” Sullivan told the Dallas Morning News.

Perry has been criticized for some of his less-than-inspiring recent debate performances, and even admitted to journalists earlier this month, “Debates are not my strong suit.”

Still, despite any Cain slip-ups, he remains a headline-grabber. His so-called “smoking” ad dominated much of the campaign conversation this week, earning parodies from Stephen Colbert to fellow candidate Jon Huntsman’s social media-savvy daughters.

    Oh yes! Slip ups – and this is the guy you want for President – there are mistakes and there is the TRUTH about Herman Cain that no one seems to care about except that he was the CEO of a Pizza company. Worked for the Federal Reserve – the author of much of our fiscal difficulty – and Herman doesn’t think it should be audited or held accountable. All any one seems to care about is his 999 tax reform that he doesn’t have a single sitting member of the House of Representatives backing – so it ain’t going anywhere. It’s just talk. nice talk, but talk.

      The “Occupier” of the White House – so true – but don’t overlook his Socialist Democrat allies in the House of Representatives and their fearless leader Pelosi or the Socialist Democrats in the Senate and their illustrious leader Harry Reid. This all began with the Socialist takeover of the Congress in 2008. And if we don’t FIX Congress and put conservatives in place in the Senate and the House – it won’t make a dimes worth of difference who is president.

      He has a plan??? 999 is a joke. He just wrote less than a year ago that a national sales tax was a horrible idea. The only candidate who has put up a plan that has any specific and significant cuts is Ron Paul. It’s so funny how we can yell and scream at liberals for wanting to raise taxes, telling them that taxes aren’t the problem, it’s the spending. But then one candidate puts up a plan based on a trillion dollars in spending cuts, and the other wants to tinker with taxes and all the conservatives run to the one who puts out a tax based plan. What a joke. Even when it comes to taxes, Paul’s plan is better, it‘s just that he doesn’t stress the tax part, because that is not the big issue. IT IS SPENDING.

      Perry is cutting back too. They’ve both realized that the more they say about their beliefs, they less people like them.

      That’s the problem with the nominees. When they’re unknown, everyone thinks the candidates beliefs are what they believe. But when they start talking, different story. So we‘re getting candidates rising in the polls based on what people don’t know about them rather than what they do know about them. That’s the problem the Republican candidates have. When the winner debates President Obama, they’ll have to put their cards on the table. And their cards will only lose votes.

      Why don’t you support the 2nd Amendment (Cain does not support the 2nd Amendment and believes states have the right to regulate and control gun laws even though SCOTUS says they don’t)?
      Why do you agree with Cain’s conservative Keynesian economic plan of a new tax?
      Why do you believe as Cain does, that Greenspan was an outstanding Fed Chairman?
      Does it concern you that Cain lectures the public to do something he himself has not even done, like actually read the Constitution?

      If Mr. Cains own words have caused him trouble this early in the game there‘s no way he’ll make it through the next year without talking himself right out of contention. That’s the problem with the pandering candidates who constantly struggle to say what they think their audience wants to hear. They inevitably contradict themselves due to either confusion or outright lying.

      No one can honestly accuse Ron Paul of pandering to an audience. His message has been consistent for 30 years, no matter who he is talking to. Dr. Paul will never have to hide from voters for fear of being exposed as a phony or as someone who is in over his head. He can answer any question posed to him with a response that is in line with the Constitution and with the precepts of individual liberty and responsibility. He may not always be the most eloquent or polished speaker at the debates, and he doesn’t come up with snappy bumper sticker-worthy lines, but he is by far the most honest and authentic. The only thing I can surmise about those who don’t see that is that they are poor judges of character.

      No. As President, he would have A PRESS SECRETARY who would do the press interviews. Campaigning is a GRUELING schedule! Literally, nights with 3 or 4 hours of sleep are common. I have heard many of the interviews with Mr. Cain, and I have seen how noisy the environs can be. Grabbing a candidate for a 2 minute interview as he walks off a stage gives him the 2 minutes of media he seeks, but, it opens the door to misunderstandings by all parties. When you are tired, and it is noisy, you may hear the question wrongly. Do you want the “GOTCHA” answer? Or, do you want the REAL answer that comes from understanding what the question actually was supposed to be asking? Do you want a President who is a know-it-all, and who answers every question, every crisis, every issue, withing 5 seconds of being asked? Or, do you want a President who gives thoughtful consideration, prior to answering? A President who ASKS questions, to be sure he UNDERSTANDS the question being asked of him, prior to answering?
      I know what I would want!!
      Of course, the alternative is to have a President who has all his questions screened, who answers from a teleprompter, and who has to spend THREE YEARS to propose anything even claiming to be a jobs bill, all-the-while consulting with the unions and other special interest groups to find out what his teleprompter should tell him to say.
      Lay off Herman Cain.
      He is making a WISE decision.

      It is a Business Flat tax, an Individual Flat tax (which can also be zero), and a National Sales tax plan that eliminates/replaces all other federal taxes in the US which have polluted our system. The National Sales tax may raise the price of imported goods as there is no way our tax code would ever remove their embedded taxes. Which would act as a tariff so to speak which is much needed at the moment to help bring back manufacturing. The 9-9-9 plan is just phase one (a stepping stone). Phase two is to replace that system with the Fair Tax, which would be an even bigger tariff on imported goods.
      Anyone high up in the media or politics that is against these plans may have a lot of foreign investments or they receive a lot of undisclosed foreign donations or donations from corporations that do business overseas. All media is owned by people with a lot at stake in overseas manufacturing which is why trade/manufacturing is not on the front burner let alone mentioned. By replacing our current tax system with Cains tax plan, and then the Fair Tax, many of the lobbyist that infest Washington will dry up because they wont be able to gain the system anymore.
      A win-win if you ask me. Frankly everything else they try to get him on is just a meaningless side show to me.

      There is also a hidden fourth 9 in his plan which would be akin to the payroll tax. Since there will no longer any deductions for labor costs, the employer will have to pay 9% on that now. In fact it is worse then that, since the 9% corporate tax would be on total receipts instead of total profits – that is what “simplifying the tax code does.

      I would have to go out of business over night or raise my prices to my customers by 9%. Normally my business gets very little profits, because of my expenses, but with taxes on total receipts I suddenly get a huge tax burden when normally I would pay close to zero. Now that’s a sneak-a-tax!

      Jeff, You need to read the plan more carefully. Corporate tax will only be on “net” profit. Which means you subtract the cost of employee expenses as well.

I am a conservative and I like a lot of what Mr. Cain says however he is just not the man for the job. I think the only one who can step in a take control is Newt, yes Newt, warts and all.

      I agree. Check out Newt.org. His speech to the Faith and Freedom coalition is incredible. Talk about being the smartest man in the room. Newt knows the inner workings of Washington. Has he made mistakes in his personal life. YES. I think he has learned from that. I am a Christian that has the inner fortitude to find forgiveness. Newt Gingrich is the only person who has the sheer experience AND intellect to unravel everything Obamma and….yes even, Bush put into place.

      I bet Ron Paul will never dial back. He has an agenda; to get back the Individual Liberties we have lost over the decades. Ron Paul has stood up against lobbyists. They do not even approach him. Every vote he has done was based on Constitutional principles. He gives back money not needed in his district every year to the Treasury. He will only accept approx. $39,000.00 in salary for the office of President as that is the median wage of the average American. He fights our defunct Congress on Unconstitutional bills constantly to try and protect our freedoms. He had successful legislation to prevent eminent domain and transfer the ownership of a dam from the Fed Gov to the Texas Gov. He has helped to prohibit funding for a Natl I.D. card, the list goes on and on on how he tries to protect liberty and state’s rights. The Constitution! Go to the Congress website and check his voting record. He speaks the truth (found very little in Washington anymore) even though no one wants to hear the truth. I do not know anyone who could be considered closer to George Washington in the way he feels about his country. How long is everyone willing to wait for a George Washington? This election (if we have one) may be our last chance to protect our liberties from being gone forever. I just cannot believe that everyone does not see this!!? Liberty, what is it?

      I happen to agree with Ron Paul on most issues. I have lived overseas and have reservations on his foreign policy, but, do not necessarily discount Ron Paul for that. I do discount Ron Paul for this one simple reason. The Progressives as we all know have on both sides of the parties weaved an incredibly intricate GIANT governement that has interwoven hundreds of thousands of federal, state and local government employees. They are all tied to the private side with companies that are high tech and cater to only the government. I hate it all and am disgusted by it. But, my question for you is this. How do you press a stop button to all of that on day one? What is the plan? Lot’s of middle class government workers who have all their government paid titles after their name would be out of work. For example. Lets get rid of the EPA. Where do all those folks go to work? They have no skills necessary to make it in the private sector. The private sector does not want them. They only know government beaurocracy. The private sector rewards folks who take risks. When is the last time you ever saw a beurocrat take a risk let alone make a decision? Ron Paul has to lay out a transition plan. Newt Gingrich is smart enough to have already started that diologue. I don’t know if Newt is the guy. Neither do I for Ron Paul. But, I need to see plans and ideas….not just talking points that we can all agree upon.

      I agree with each and every talking point. Yet, I don’t see where Ron Paul states in anyway shape or form what happens to all of the folks who have lived their entire lives….yes working…but albeit on the government dole (I’m talking agencies like the EPA and not welfare recipients)…..will find a way to transition into private sector life. That’s my point. We can all agree to cut government. But, what about the folks who make a comfortable salary and a luxury most private citizens don’t have…..a GUARANTEED retirement. What are they going to do if they are thrust into the private sector? That in my pea brain is the key to solving this problem. First take out croney capitalism and the lobbiests. Term limits would be a great place to begin with. Better yet, any representative of our governement can’t make any personal profit from such duty. Give the country back to the states. Senators should not be elected. REPEAL the 17th. Amendment. (curious how that one was passed during the Wilson era) Progressivism run amuk and we’re still dealing with it. If Americans would wake up enough like they did to repeal the 18th Amendment, we might be o.k. But, it seems we only care about a beer and don’t really get excited about losing our freedom. That’s what the Wilson counted on.

      Newt is not too bad, but I don’t know how much of a fighter he is. He got into a few personal difficulties last time he held office and threw in the towel. No chutzpah. Cain does not have government experience but that is not always a handicap. It seems that O‘Bama didn’t have much government experience either, but he has sure pushed the progressive agenda forward. At this point I can live with Newt or Herman. Paul thinks earmarks are OK which doesn‘t rank him high in my book and his ostrich like foreign policy is almost as bad as O’Bamas.

    C’mon Herman……it was only 11 months ago that you wrote a column vehemently stating your objection to a national sales tax:

    “The worst idea is a proposed national sales tax, which is a disguised VAT (value added tax) on top of everything we already pay in federal taxes.
    .
    .
    Even worse is reason number two: In every country that has established a VAT with the promise of reducing their national debt, the VAT has eventually gone up or expanded on top of the existing tax structure. After discovering many of the tax grenades in the recently passed health care deform bill, which is already driving costs up and access down, it would be real easy for an overzealous bureaucrat to insert the language in the legislation “national retail and wholesale” tax.

    For the liberal naysayers who say that would not happen, you lose! Just look at the Social Security system, Medicare and Medicaid. Over the years since their inception, taxes have gone up, benefits have gone down and they are still on a path of insolvency.”
    http://www.redstate.com/thehermancain/2010/11/21/dont-be-vat-stupid/

    Cain didn’t flip-flop on the idea of a national sales tax simply because he “got tired”.

      He didn’t flip flop on the idea of a national sales tax. If you read the whole article, he clearly is in favor of the Fair Tax which IS a national sales tax. What he is opposed to is adding a sales tax on top of the current rates. His 9-9-9 plan would eliminate the current tax code and implement a hybrid Flat Tax / Fair Tax. Think of it as trying them both out to see how they fit. His stated goal is to eventually get us onto the Fair Tax completely.

He delivers a much better speech that Romney and the rest (even without teleprompter or notes or even planned). FYI Suprisingly Perry can deliver a decent speech too.

      @Bush Hating Conservatives make me sick….I agree with you that only Mitt and Newt can beat Barak in a debate. Two different reasons though. Romney will match Obamma with sound bites and may the best sound biter win. Gingrich will simply devestate the sound bites Obamma wants to build upon and blow that sand of a foundation out from under Obammas feet. Gingrich has concrete in mind for the foundation. And, he’s not stupid enough to argue we fix it ALL at one time. Newt knows we have to “progress” back toward the constitution. Ergo, Newts position on the courts. I am skeptical of Newt and worried he may be an insider, but, when I hear what he has to say if you look up his speeches that the lame stream media will not publish, you may be pleasantly suprised. I challenge anyone who is a conservative to at least check into Newt Gingrich seriously. Then, you can make up your mind and then vote for who you think is going to be the best chance to beat Obamma.

      @c0mm0nsense. Perhapse you may be correct on the statistics. I am intrigued to look them up. But, if it does come to fruition as you have stated I will not be suprised. Godfathers was THE pizza place to go in Nebraska when I lived there in the 80′s. I was a teenager and had the appetite to go with it. The original Godfathers Pizza thick pizza had a crust that was thin, yet, it was almost two inches tall. The inch and three quarters of tall above the crispy pizza crust was the toppings and cheese. Best pizza I have ever eaten. And back then as a teenager was barely able to eat more than three slices. Then came Dominoe’s and delivery pizza. Cardboard with sauce and a few toppings. That started the pizza wars. Pizza Hut countered with their deep dish which is nothing more than bread and a little bit of sauce and a miniscule amount of toppings. Pizza became a cheap gut bomb. Godfathers simply could not compete on a restaraunt level with the delivery companies.

      Nope. I am sadly dissapointed I can’t get a real Godfathers Pizza anymore as it was founded back in Omaha in I think 1979. I have tried to make a pizza like that at home and have had some success. The problem is, that to come up with all those ingredients in the quantity is quite expensive. I simply miss Godfathers when it was a small local chain in Omaha and they could make it that way. Herman Cain took over after Godfathers was failing miserably shortly after the delivery pizza phenomenom took charge. I was guilty of it when in college and only had a few bucks in my pocket. Herman Cain recognized it after he took over and quite frankly realized Godfathers had to dumb down their pizza to compete the the rest of the cardboard pizza companies. Cain was hired to compete in that environment, and to try to appease with folks like me who enjoyed the best of the best pizza (in my and many other folks opinion who ate at the small Godfathers places back then). Cain did the best he could do with what he had. But, that is where I have issue with Cain. He will inherit the same in politics and it seems he will appease to get along instead of try to get folks back to eating really superior pizza….like we had before. I know it’s a silly analogy, but, think about it. Newt Gingrich. I’m liking him more and more. Hated him before. Try

      My whole point was that we need to check out these folks, not the media, Glenn, Rush etc. They all have self interest in the game, no matter what they tell you. Everyone just takes their word for it. Take “BETE NORIE” for example, where did he/she come up with their info? This is about all the candidates, not just Cain. But I do say Cain has got to be the worst on misinformation. This is how we got McCain and Obama. So check out Newt on your own and go from there and when someone calls you out on him you will know just how to handle it. Good Luck

      You were wondering if Obama was going to take a break????
      He has been taking a break and vacationing for 3 years…..
      He comes home or WH long enough to run thru one of Soro’s
      orders and screw the Country and he is off again to Vacation.

      Cain is probably tired from trying to talk over the Paul supporters.

      Just put Newt in and he can straighten out this mess. He has forgotten
      more than all the others ever knew, especially Obama.

      I think Herman Cain just might become our next President. He is the only candidate who has not been tainted by politics. Plus, I imagine alot of people feel the same way I do, that Obama is a lousey representative for the many black Americans who are bright, intelligent and successful, and that Herman is the kind of person who should represent that “first Black president” title in history. It is only to Black Americans. Maybe we can still call him the first Black President since Obama is only half black. So far there is not much I don’t like about Cain.

      That’s exactly it! He hasn’t had any “slip-ups” other than the leftists and the Paulies (Pretty much the same thing) twisting what he said because they couldn’t comprehend it. What Mr. Cain is finding out is that many people are not as intelligent as he is and he has to dumb it down so they won’t become confused.

      The only way that “lefties and Paulies” are alike is that they are two groups that QPWillie doesn’t like.

      If he took the time to research the history of the neoconservatives (which seems to be the category that best fits his apparent political philosophy), he would find that “lefties” actually have much more in common with the neocons than they do with “Paulies”. Liberals vs neocons is literally Marxism vs. Trotskyism.
      Ron Paul explains the neocons very well in this video.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njaqLfcJ9Ls

      Unfortunately the Republican party has been hijacked by the neocons and many people who consider themselves conservative are actually neoconservatives (and don’t usually even realize that fact themselves).

      That’s why I consider the status quo candidates from both the red team and the blue team to be two sides of the same coin and will absolutely not vote for any of them.

      I think the most serious mistake was when Mr. Cain said he would negotiate with terrorists. It has been a policy of the US since Regan NOT to negotiate with terrorists and he didn’t know that. All psychology advises against negotiating with terrorists. It wasn’t mis-speaking, it was lack of knowledge.

      I also think that Mr. Cain saying that the Fed didn’t need an audit was revealing. The Fed is a crooked pile of snakes that ruining America. No one knows where the money goes from the Fed. It’s outrageous to have such an organization in America. I suppose it’s because Mr. Cain worked with the Fed, for the Fed and agrees with their hidden operations. Sad, sad, sad.
