Love Newt. Just listened to his speech on judges. How the activist judges are hurting this nation. He was on fire and spouting off the founding fathers and their intentions like a real constitutionalist. Lately, I am more of a constitutionalist than a republican. To be honest..I may attack other candidates but I will vote for whoever wins the gop nod against Obama. Cannot abide 4 more years of insanity

All I mentioned in my post is Rick Perry sounds and acts like GWB, why you intrepret to mean I "hate Bush like a liberal" is beyond me. Bush was FAR better than Obama on his best day but it's a fact that Bush left office with very low approval ratings and America suffers from Bush fatigue. They are thus reluctant to elect another guy who reminds them of Bush, no matter how much Perrybots think "electable" in Texas makes someone "electable" in the other 49. You and I will gladly vote for any Republican over Obama but the 40% of the electorate that consist of swing voters don't feel the same way and is not sold on Perry.

Furthermore, not all of Perry's problems come from Bush, if you think I'm implying that. Perry's pathetic debate skills and understanding of the issues isn't anywhere near as good as Bush was in 2000. George W. Bush was a far better debater than people gave him credit for and held his own against Gore and Kerry. Bush was also far more popular than Perry with Texans, and won elections as well as swing voters with much higher margins than Perry. And even with that going for him, Gore nearly stole the election in 2000. I wouldn't want to put up an even weaker Texan against an incumbent RAT with the Chicago machine behind him.

I do pity you. The sure sign of desperation. Because your side/camp (whichever it is) is losing, and this whole fiasco backfired, with Cain taking in even more $$$ to ramp up more of an Iowa organization. Need some more CAPITAL LETTERS??

You know I was wondering why Cain hasn’t gone on the offensive and yelled about Clinton lying to the American People about Sexual Harrassment and lying under oath. Hell, now I know. Old man Cain voted for Clinton. Ha.

I really think he could have jujitsued this Sexual B.S.

But realistically Cain just doesn’t have the brain power for President. If you don’t know yet that Communist China has had nuclear weapons for almost HALF A CENTURY, no need for Hermain to be trying to be President. Nein Nein Nein.

Now now, they are a political expert, let’s not be so hasty...

Politics in the real world ain’t for the faint of heart. In the corporate/business world it ain’t about party, its about profit. Odd how some conservatives have issues with that.

“In a couple of days, “embattled” will precede Cain’s name.”

I called this one correctly.

You’re wrong. Cain does not need to do a thing. We’re doing it for him by hugely investing in his campaign. Based on the vaporous accounts we’ve heard so far there is absolutely nothing to see here. You, sir, need to come to your own conclusions then act according to your conscience.

That includes supporting his campaign any way you can and taking the time—yes you—to let the people know who perpetrated this lynching what you think of them.

Aren’t you tired of good people being destroyed on the altar of politics? It’s time the destroyers are destroyed—don’t you think?

Nope. You are wrong. The best thing is for him to have all his cards on the table, so there is no appearance of hiding anything.

His campaign manager is a PR doofus and should not be the face of the campaign. When I listened to his Geraldo interview, he was so clearly and obviously dodging, weaving, obfuscating, that I had to hold back a smile.

You are free to believe what you want, but this will end or it will drop Cain out of the running.

"Cain campaign needs this to end."

Lewinsky dominated almost all of Bubba's 2nd term and it didn't stop him from doing a damn thing, and half the country (the half that doesn't pay taxes) liked him even more for being a "playuh".

And you believe the media will support Cain the way it supported Clinton...is that right?

No, I'm saying that so far, from my keen observational viewpoint, it's almost a nothingburger GIVEN that the only thing to come out are 12-year-old allegations of sub-Clinton level wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

Every bit of negative coverage to date has been directed by the MSM to the hypocrites that support BOBO, in some hopeless hope that these allegations will firm up Bobo's base -- which has been their (eventually losing) strategy since he dipped under 50% approval.

If you hadn't noticed, the MSM is willing to run with anything to keep the rubes (the half that doesn't pay taxes) from noticing permanent unemployment levels are just below that of the Great Depression. That's where this election will be fought, and will be lost by Bobo.

Short answer: The MSM is trying to peel women away and herd them back to Bobo. When Rush says, “the mushy middle”, he’s talking about women...

Mark Block was just on Fox evoking Reagan's 11th commandment. Yeah, right! A little late for that you blockhead!

Cain&CO got down in the gutter and now want to move on. LOL Cain has damaged himself and his integrity with his outrageous rhetoric.
