Why does everyone keep saying Cain is fading, done, etc.? ONLY if we allow it. I’m sick to death of this predictable pattern of letting the press do this to us. Anyone who doesn’t think Newt will be next and we’ll end up with Romney by default if we fall for this again then we deserve what happens. This happens every single election and I refuse to play along anymore. From what I’ve seen most other people are, too. It’s the same predictable pattern: Press makes up story full of innuendo (usually involving sex or something else they think conservatives are going to get hysterical over)...the establishment Republicans & talking heads push the story...there begins a trickle of push polls (see Marist) that support talking heads...pundits pen story after story after story declaring candidate dead. And just like good little sheep we just go along, never stopping to think that we’re reacting exactly as they want, exactly as they expect. Because it’s what we always do. I refuse to be a party to that this time. And if the majority of us do then we deserve the destruction that’s coming. I guess what it all boils down to, is how much do we want to save our country? If we aren’t going to fight, if we’re going to roll over like we usually do lets all just give up now, declare Romney the winner and kiss the country goodbye.

At the same time, critics claim that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac became slush funds for crony capitalists within the Fannie and Freddie system who were receiving exorbitant salaries and bonuses that came directly from taxpayer dollars. Conservatives believe Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the epitome of the socialist corporatism that is destroying the free market system.

Socialist corporatism? How about crony socialism or crony fascism? It's the socialism, stupid. It's the reason we are in this mess. DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic. DISMANTLE socialist collectives internally including government agencies/GSE/quasi government collectives. Nice racket...very clever these socialists. Every politician/pig is feeding at the same trough of OPM.

Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task. - Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850

Newt is the smartest conman in any room he enters. That being said he did some positive things (light-years ago in political terms) inside the arena and I would vote for him any day over the current King of the Collectivists, The Marxist Messiah, The Redistributor.
