So you disagree with the article, particularly in regarding politicians forgetting what their platforms they are supposed to represent are about?

"One presumes a candidate for president ponders such proposals carefully, discusses them with advisers and understands their implications.

Forgetting an idea at the heart of your program, in other words, is not the same as forgetting a phone number, a friend’s name, a football score or the title of a recently read book.

Perry’s memory lapse showed that he wasn’t asserting anything that he is truly serious about because he is not serious about what government does, or ought not to do. For him, governing seems a casual undertaking."

Regarding Cain: "In any event, while women of a variety of political stripes have been in the forefront in demanding accountability from Cain, plenty of liberals have been happy to look on and let the GOP settle this one. "

and in case you think the writer was being biased: "And most members of “the Democrat machine” defended Bill Clinton against impeachment in the Monica Lewinsky matter. They, too, have largely stayed away from the Cain controversy, aware as they are of the meaning of the word “hypocrisy.”

then the writer goes on to say that those who demanded Clinton come clean about his sex acts are the same who are defending Cain's right not to have to defend himself. he's pointing out the hypocrisy.

Steinhauer - it would be nice if you actually read what was said and talk about that. you're blindly defending and following a party no matter what they do or say. that's not good.

TRENDING: Gingrich faces more questions about Freddie Mac – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
(CNN) – Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich spent a second day trying to campaign in Iowa but fending off questions about his relationship with mortgage giant Freddie Mac.

The former House Speaker has surged to the top of Republican presidential polls over the last month but is now forced to play defense against reports of his relationship with Freddie Mac. Gingrich Group was paid between $1.6 million and $1.8 million to lobby Republicans in Congress on behalf of the government-backed mortgage lender, CNN has confirmed.

Hyprocrisy?
 
Herman Cain managed to offend Cuban Americans and reveal more gaps in his knowledge of foreign policy and U.S. politics during campaign stops in Miami on Wednesday.

"How do you say delicious in Cuban?" he asked after sampling some Cuban-style coffee and a croqueta at Miami's Versailles Cafe.

Herman Cain In Miami: 'How Do You Say Delicious In Cuban?' (VIDEO)

The man is a black version of Dub-ya!:laugh2:

He is ranting about building an electified fence on our southern borders as a solution to immigration issues. And he doesn't know immigation policies?

His campaign kept reporters at bay, and when asked about the Cuban Adjustment Act and the so-called wet-foot, dry-foot policy, Cain seemed stumped. The policy allows Cuban immigrants who have made it to U.S. soil to stay.
“Wet-foot, dry-foot policy?” Cain asked. His press handlers interrupted as Cain diverted his course and ducked back into the building. Later, when he emerged, he was asked again by another reporter. Cain didn’t answer.

“Gotta run, gentlemen,” he said.

Pathetic.

Sure I've read their b.s. (as usual, you are wrong, a disorgainized mob can't have a platform) but action speaks louder than words.

lol omg.. that is SO BAD... and at such an iconic place, too!!! Cafe Versailles... ahh good old times...

I don't expect him (or any other candidate) to know everything, but I'm actually really surprised that he didn't know about the wet foot, dry foot policy. Perhaps I'm just biased because I am from Miami, but I just assumed that it's something most people knew about.
