Herman Cain loves Herman Cain, as one of the ex-girlfriends said.

Oh now a quote from a proven libeler/stalker/slanderer is gold? She said a lot of things about her former business partner too that turned out to be vicious lies by her own court ordered admission later on. But I totally get that someone like you would find her a trusted source. Birds of a feather and all...

“And just why do you think that Rep West joined that caucus???”

###

I have no idea.

But rather than JOIN, he should have said, we are ALL Americans. There is no room for the destructive idea of elected representatives aligning themselves with a particular group based on race.

Just watched Cain speaking live. It’s easy to get re-energized just hearing him. I’m still voting for CAIN!

The only way to end the smear jobs and MSM/RINO destruction train is to stick it out and fight on.

Exactly. Somebody has to stand up or sleazy character assassination is going to be our number one method of choosing a candidate.

By the way, I would add the Obama campaign to the "MSM/RINO destruction train." They'll do ANYTHING to win.

The least he could have done was to wait for some actual proof, rather than let innuendo and accusation form his opinion.

A lot of people should do this.

Even if Mr. Cain were to step down "for the team" he is an American being slandered and so many here have piled on.

If there is proof, show it.

Otherwise, a man, his family, career, and life are being destroyed by hearsay.

Couple things to help;

if it has to do with someone that is a Mormon or supports Romney - RINO

Newt, unless he’s the only one left - RINO

non-Christian - RINO

does not want to move all Mexicans back across the border - RINO

Alan West! The heck he should! who are youl, you freshman congresscritter, (General or not!) to say what Herman Cain should do!? Masses of people think Herman Cain is the man for 2012! Are you taken in by the filthy lies put out there by unscrupulous leftists? I thought you were supposed o be a wise conservative!

“Herman Cain loves Herman Cain, as one of the ex-girlfriends said. Cain would be perfectly happy to bog the whole thing down as long as the spotlight is on him.”


Sadly he has likely hurt his family in his illusion that he is infallible and irresistible.

As your name tag indicates, eloquence.

Allen West is precisely the GOP’s “ok” Tea Party black man, and because of his Army service fits the motif.

So, here’s another question of these GOP jackasses- can we count on Allen West being the NEXT Colin Powell-— you know, the inside beltway lying sleazeball who was also, incidentally the Secretary of State, and STILL SUPPORTS OBAMA?

Is this something the establishment GOP finds attractive, yet another “yard jockey” for the elitists left or right?
Where are the true conservatives, please?

Cain admits that he has regularly sent money to this woman. Supposedly he felt sorry for her.

Even if there was no sexual contact, it was still an affair...”an affair of the heart.” No married man should be giving to another woman what his wife exclusively deserves. That includes airline tickets to fly to sporting events; acting as his partner at social gatherings; lavish dinners at 4 star restaurants; expensive gifts, and 4:30 am phone calls that last an hour.

I think Ms. White has more to show than telephone records: rent receipts; a couple of mink coats; some diamond bracelets, etc. This has all the earmarks of a longtime extramarital affair.

Maybe like Jimmy Carter, Cain only committed adultery in his heart.

Nevertheless, female voters will not take this lightly.

Sorry, I won’t vote for either of them. I had to hold my nose to vote fo9r 43 and for JMcCain, and I will never do that again.

This is not sage, sound, wise or competent political advice. In this election cycle, one does not set a precedent that says infidelity, alleged or real, is a disqualifer.

The Pubs will end up with a man who purports to have been faithful to his wife for 25 years— and the left will laugh all the way to the White House.

Mr. Cain will rise or fall. Let’s not force him to leave based on the left/media standard...an ever-changing standard that is always situationally adjusted to serve their ends.

It is a two man race, but Gingrich is going to have to move Heaven and Earth from now on to overtake the GOP Big Money Favorite Romney.

"Cain admits that he has regularly sent money to this woman. Supposedly he felt sorry for her."

Cain has also said he has helped many friends in financial trouble. Isn't that what Christians are supposed to do?

I see you like to make stuff up. Which ex-girlfriend would you be talking about?
