David Gregory: No "Grand Wizard" In GOP To Force Cain Out

On Wednesday's "Today" show, host of NBC's "Meet the Press" David Gregory says there is no "Grand Wizard" right now in the GOP to "force" Cain out of the primary. Transcript below:

[blockquote]Ann Curry, NBC News: "He's not stepping down, continuing to suck the air out of the narrative the Republican party really wants to tell. Does the party now wish he would just go away?"

David Gregory, NBC News: "Well there is no, you know, Grand Wizard in the party right now who can really force the issue. I've talked to Cain's advisers in Iowa, they think their support is still strong there, that it's not falling. There may be cracks in the foundation according to pollsters I'm talking to, that his numbers may be starting to shift but right now core support remains there."[/blockquote]
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

 ::whatgives::  WTF?!

What is that supposed to mean?  Are we pleased that Klan members only infest the Dem party, or is this idiot saying no Repub Klan member is stepping up?

Any way you cut it, this jackass made one bizzare statement!

What a moron...

We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

He's calling Republicans Klan-like, therefore, racist.

I've got another one for you.  Ben Bradlee (WaPo) was recorded by someone asking if he had advice for Cain; Ben said "he should run for the roundhouse".

I know the context; does anyone else?

2:08 into the clip bradlee (evidently drunk) starts his comments.

At 2:28 he makes the comment that Mr. Cain should “run for the roundhouse”..a direct reference to the place (the roundhouse) in Harpers Ferry that runaway slaves “ran” to in escaping their masters wrath during the abolishionist movement.

This clip needs to be shared far and wide..who are the racists now msm (garafolo, et. al.)…..hmmmm

He soon will be, he's 90 years old (I understand.)

Not to defend that dumb-ass Bradlee but the saying goes back almost a century and actually has a sexual connotation . The original saying was ; " Run for the roundhouse , Nelly , he can't corner you there !"
