So when is a major media organization going to notice that Obama still has the location verification function turned off on his donation page?

Or are we just going to stand by while Obama takes donations from Gaza, Europe, Canada and a number of Euro nations?

Perry team is really going after Cain.

No they’re not. But they should – turnabout is definitely fair play.

Poorly done. At least be a little creative.

BTW, just watched Herman’s appearance before the Nat’l Press Club.
Quite impressive. He has not been shaken. Highly recommend it.
There will be a rerun @ 8pm ET, and will be available @ C-SPAN.ORG/VIDEOLIBRARY.

Thanks for that confirmation… I sorta figured that was so, but unsure.
Took the easy way out, so’s not to falsely accuse.

I have tremendous respect for Herman Cain.

But issues involving campaign finance “improprieties” show how risky it would be to elect anybody who had never run for office before to be the Republican Nominee for President.

Neither Presidential Candidates nor Presidents can afford to rely on on-the-job training.

People keep bringing up the MSM’s lack of interest and/or active coverup of Obama’s largely unknown past and his personal and professional associations with people such as Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers, Bernadette Dorn, and Jeremiah Wright, as well as his association with ACORN and Chicago’s New Party. All of that is beside the point. The same lack of interest by the MSM would be true regardless of candidate if that candidate is a Democrat.

We in the GOP should hold a higher standard for office, one independent of any vetting done or not done by the MSM. If Cain’s campaign manager is a shady operator, then he is a shady operator and Cain’s decision to hire a shady operator brings his judgment into question. Even a novice to campaigning for a national political office should know not to play fast and loose with campaign finance laws and rules. Inexperience is no excuse. Excuses are for losers.

If it turns out to be true, I’d guess that it has a lot more to do with inexperience (and probably some incompetence) at Team Cain than any attempt to hide these transactions

No doubt. I’d only ask that every time a Dem operative squawks about this that we counter with references to Doodad Pro and fundraisers in the Gaza Strip.

[...] The campaign finance improprieties at Team Cain story is also an Obama style Chicago drive by shooti… It took Politico years to finally admit that our original reporting was correct and it was the Barack Obama campaign that anonymously pushed the John (”are you my daddy?”) Edwards $400 haircut story.

Lots of time.

Not to take away from your perfectly fine point, but you do realize that Southernblogger is a shameless Perry shill that was practically dancing on a keg when finding out that Cain was being accused of being that dreaded, old, black male stereotype; right?

[...] Ed Morrissey suggests that this mess, which is exactly what this is, can be attributed mostly to the inexperience on the part of Team Cain when it comes to things like this. Perhaps that’s true, although I’ve got to say that Block’s involvement in all of this does raise an eyebrow at the very least, but that just adds yet another piece of evidence to the question of how seriously Cain has been viewing this campaign. When you’re running for a Federal office, whether it’s Congress, the Senate, or the Presidency, the most important people you need to hire are a campaign manager, a communications director, and an attorney well-versed in campaign finance laws. If you think you’re going to learn something that complicated on the fly, you’re going to end up making mistakes even if there’s no nefarious intent involved. [...]

Block was convicted of two DUIs within three years, jimw. In my home state of Indiana, that’s a felony. Things must be different in Wisconsin.

troyriser_gopftw on October 31, 2011 at 1:24 PM

It is. It took teeth-pulling to get the felony threshhold changed from 5 DUIs to 4.

But 95 % of Americans are imperfect. That’s why we eat pizzas and not fruits and veggies. Herman accepts that.

So Block is a lucky man that he is not working for Church Lady Bachmann’s campaign right about now. Not that she really has a campaign anymore.

jimw on October 31, 2011 at 1:13 PM

95% of Americans aren’t running for the most powerful office in the world.

Do you folks get that? This isn’t some little hide and seek game these guys are playing. You honestly want someone who “makes a few mistakes once in awhile because he’s just a little incompetent” in the White House? Don’t you see what happened with Obama?

jimw — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:40:36 +0000

So maybe Nolo Contendre Block is like one of David’s mighty men who first came out to join him in the wilderness days because they were misfits.

They needed a strong leader, just like Block needs Cain.

Leadership is the KEY ingredient in society. Hmmm.

Herman Cain is not the ‘new Palin’, katy. He hired a shady campaign manager and at some point Block’s past was going to come up and bite the campaign. Block probably didn’t think Cain would come this far and invite this kind of in-depth examination–and neither did Herman Cain, frankly. The higher you go, the deeper they look. In Block’s case, the MSM didn’t have to look very hard, far, or deep.

In my home state of Texas cocaine use/possession is a felony – must be different in D.C. – especially if you’re a Soros funded un-vetted puppet.
