Seems i remember a good many Perry supporters getting behind the Left-Wing smear job on Cain by Politico. Yep, many of you were saying: “These allegations against Cain are a distraction, he needs to drop out.” You see, to many of you, it really didn't matter if he was guilty of anything or not, it was simply that the allegations were made. To coin the familiar Leftist charge: “It was the seriousness of the charge.”
I'm hearing several Perry supporters say things like: “The media already went after Perry; there's nothing more they can bring against him.” Oh really? Nothing ever came about from the first four women in Cain's past. Did the media just go away and leave him alone? Heck no! They brought out a another woman with an equally seedy background.
If you Perry supporters thought the Leftist’s first attacks on Perry were harsh, you haven't seen anything yet. That will look like tiddly winks compared to what he's in store for should he surge in the polls.
I'm hoping to see the Perry supporters who got behind the Politico hit piece on Cain, to be be equally supportive when they shred your guy. The knife cuts both ways when you decide to lay down with these dogs in the media!
I guess that's the latest fantasy we're going to read about incessently, even though you won't find evidence for a "good many" of anybody doing what you claim, much less "Perry supporters".
The distraction was how he handled the charges, not the charges. He just dropped out -- so apparently Cain himself found the charges and how he handled them too much of a distraction. Kind of odd to attack some other candidate's supporters for a decision made by the candidate.
I also have missed Perry supporters claiming there's nothing more to bring against him. It's like you are building straw men because it's easier to argue that way.
I would presume all our candidates, especially the strong conservative ones like Perry, will get attacked. It's how you HANDLE those attacks that is important -- like how Perry was able to easily deflect the "racist rock" story (except of course for Cain adopting it as a personal attack on Perry's "sensitivity").
If you guys cared a whit for this country you'd tell your Ken doll candidate to drop out.
