Razing Cain

It is apparent that the Democrats are frightened to death of the possible candidacy of Herman Cain. There he is -- a strong, competent black man ready to challenge their weak, half-black loud-mouth bungler. So they have embarked upon a witch hunt to chronicle every time Cain was ever charming to a woman. Yesterday, they trotted one out who looks like a trollop to provide, unlike the earlier accusers, specific details of his alleged harassment. She smiled and almost giggled throughout the entire recitation. I believe she loved every minute of the attention she received from the confident, successful businessman.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not completely impressed with Mr. Cain. His 9-9-9 plan, for instance, is utter nonsense, much like "Hope and Change" and that tax increase misnamed a "job's bill." If he would manage to ram it through, it would be greeted much like Obamacare -- with efforts to repeal it.

Whether or not this attempted character assassination turns out to be a lie like President Bush's alleged AWOL or not, someone, almost anyone, has to replace President Obama before he completely destroys us. If Cain can weather this clumsy political maneuvering he will be my man, possibly because in a contest between black men, he could earn the "black vote."

Of course, there is no such thing as a black, white, Latino, Asian or whatever vote. There are only the votes of the citizens, and competence is the only necessary standard, one quality which President Obama lacks. We have to have better.
