Remember, Cain had nothing but allegations made against him, and he's history...finished...gone!
The Left have succeeded in two ways:
1) They've proven that all it takes is allegations (with no hard proof) to cast doubts in the minds of voters...especially conservative voters
2) They've learned that that they can entice conservatives to join in their hit pieces if it helps the other “conservatives” candidate.
To those who cheered Cain's decision to drop out of the race; you did so not realizing this spelled our doom for 2012. The Left have succeeded in not only removing Cain from the race, but also proving that mere allegations are enough to destroy our candidates.
When "conservatives" decided to join in and accept the Left's allegations on Cain (Media hit-Piece) our fate was sealed. Perry and Newt are next. The Media taste blood in the water. We can blame no one but ourselves. I cannot believe we just handed them the victory in 2012.
Hogwash.
If there were no basis for the Cain allegations, Cain would still be in the race. There is absolutely no reason to drop out IF you are clean.
IF Perry has dirt, we will find out soon enough. If he is stupid enough to run, as Cain was, with those skeletons in his closet then they deserve to come out. I personally think Perry is pretty clean on the Bimbo front.
Horsesh*t. Two women made harassment charges against him at the NRA and received severance/settlement packages. That certainly doesn't make him guilty, but it amounts to more than just "allegations."
Cain lost support because of his many clarifications of previous misstatements and his lack of depth on policy. The allegations aren't the primary factor in his downfall. His woeful responses to the allegations are what finally did him in.
