This whole thing about Cain is going to backfire on O’Bambi and the Demo-Coms as well as the so called conservatives who don’t believe in the “social issues”.
First off if I were black and from “the hood” I’d be very pissed at what BS the Demo-Coms are throwing up at Cain. This is going to resonate in the black community and it’s going to hurt the Demo-Coms.
Secondly the first ones on the GOP side to use the “Cain is toast” mantra were the talk show hosts inclined toward pooh-pooing social issues.
I pulled this from a piece I;m working on about one of them . Now the guy I’m commenting on is a good guy, does a lot of good work, but, like everyone else we all have our short commings...btw like our candidates. In this case he was commenting on Mark Block Cain’s cheif of staff whom has some baggage here and apparently some personal experiences with Sykes with in Wisconsin. Block was the person smoking a cigarette in that infamous Cain commercial
Charlie Sykes a conservative talk show host at Milwaukee’s WTMJ am 620 8:30 till noon daily slot has spent his second day going after Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff as arrogant ,and inept and warns Block will wind up embarrassing Cain because of Mark Block’s mishandling of funds in a Wisconsin race ..
Sykes opened up on Block 10/26/11. Sykes claimed the ad depicting Block smoking a cigarette was pure ego and the focus would be on Block. Sykes is the kind of guy who doesn’t see smoking bans as a goverment intrusion.
In the 2009 presidential race Sykes endorsed Rudy Giuluiani and I concluded my observations with the following;
Sykes is one of several talk show hosts and RINOS who are infulenced by MSM positions particularly on social issues.When the subject of the Keyes vs Obama race for Illinois US senator, Deleware’s O’Donnell or the Nevada Sharon Angle US senatorial races comes up he will decry the conservative position on social issues these candidates took..
Sykes will never bring up the disasters in California where most of those statewide and US candidates took middle of the road positions and sunk like lead balloons to the bottom of the water closet.”
Posting in FR’s can get to be pretty frustrating. For me it takes time to put together a thoughtfull piece .By the time I’m done if I don’t post fast enough it’s loaded with grammar or typing errors. So I wind up at the bottom end of the first 50 or 100 comments, nany vapid, that contribute nothing or little to the subject.at hand
"Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff as arrogant, and inept and warns Block will wind up embarrassing Cain because of Mark Block’s mishandling of funds in a Wisconsin race .."
Sykes has lost a regular listener (me) over this...he’s being tremendously irresponsible over his sneering contempt for the Cain candidacy.
