Should Herman Cain drop out of the race? Or should he stay in the race until the voters tell him to leave? Does he fight? Or does he leave? And if he should leave, why? What do you say?
"possunt quia posse videntur"
It will always matter, never give up.
Oh, I’m not giving up. There’s no way Obama’s getting elected again.
I am for Bachmamm or Paul. My ideal ticket is Bschmanm Psul.
Those two would literally make. Me stop my business and campaign for them 24 7. Lobpve MB.
MB would equal - Hell Cat in Chief.
Good, that’s the way I see it too.
You analyzed it perfectly and turned over every stone. This is precisely what is happening, this is precisely who benefits, and this is precisely how they will behave to other candidates. Controlling the narrative. As old as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon themselves.
If I were a Political Science PhD candidate doing a dissertation on "character assassination" in modern American politics, why I would chose the Cain Campaign 2012 as a classic case study and analyze it from every angle like you have, and I am sure what the conclusion or assertion would be. It is bad enough to have vast hordes of sheeple in the American populace, but to also not have a shortage of them within conservatism and GOP itself, is nothing short of downright demoralizing.
I didn't just accuse you, I proved it.
You've got a high profile as a Perry supporter on this site, smooth. No getting around that. Just be straight about that when you're posting about other candidates.
I can be a bit galling, can't it? I won't accuse every Perry supporter of that behavior, but I have seen some display it here and there. Like I said before, it's no wonder that all of this infighting is going on between us, given the slate of candidates we have to choose from.
I just hope we can mend the broken bridges, once we get to wherever it is we're going. It would be a dream come true, if some strong leader could rise and bring us all together. Lord, do we need that now.
The rad-lib ruling establishment's sole narrative of American Conservatives this cycle: They are either stupid or philanderers or both. They won't talk issues as their internals tell them they cannot win on issues, in fact will if they stand on their record, go down to a historic defeat.
The Dems have rows of razor sharp teeth, a huge appetite, and no conscience whatsoever about who they have to rip to shreds to get what they want. They're also diabolically cunning, and willing to do things that we on the right dare not even dream of.
As you've pointed out, they've successfully manipulated conservatives into attacking, or at the very least, not defending their own against the dirty smear campaigns, character assassinations, and wars of personal destruction they've waged against them.
Is it any wonder that the best among us aren't stepping forth to answer the call of duty at this dire hour? Why would they, when it's been proven time and again that they'll be mercilessly attacked, while their brethren (whom they've sworn to fight for) stand mute and unmoving?
This is actually painful to even talk about. We should have been a much better people than we've been.
The only thing you’ve proven is that you’re capable through your own words of repeatedly demeaning yourself. I don’t envy you.
That's why I said, "Save it for the n00bs." They're not fooling the rest of us one bit.
That our townspeople--many of them--turned their eyes away and went for the shadows as the Democrat Klan went to rig up the rope for this "high tech lynching", yes, it amounts to a collosal human failure and moral weakness on the part of so many on our side, it is so very, very demoralizing. I conclude the following: I believe at this point, that Obama will be reelected, because we as Conservatives failed a huge tactical test early on in the game, and the Establishment were/are invariably emboldened about it ("Hey, it WORKS!"), so do not be surprised to see every good, quality GOP candidate either prevented from entering this 2012 race, or driven from it. It will be RINO vs. Obama, and Obama will handsomely win another four years, he might even get or keep some element of the Congress. Not good. Not good at all. There should be a lot of shame out there. GOP Moderate talkshow drone Laura Ingraham's joking about it and making fun of Cain and completely megaphoning the whole rotten Politico-Axelrod deal, made me want to throw up a little in my mouth and a) never again will I listen to her, and b) never again will I buy a book from her, in fact I will find some way to get a refund of "Of Thee I Zing" which she wrote, and I got through Amazon.com. I might just indicate it was the wrong book for me (the truth in hindsight) and send it back and see what they say--if they refund I will donate same amount to Cain Campaign, legal fees, what not. The nerve of Ingraham writing about "MORAL ISSUES FOR AMERICA", and also hurredly making the Station of the Cross of Jesus in Jerusalem with her co-writer, all the while more recently cackling and chortling and knee-slapping and fortifying the Alinsky negative narrative as a Bearing False Witness (7th Commandment) Campaign was being mounted against Herman Cain, and not only that, she was having the time of her life it seems. Hypocrite. Where in her catechism does it say to treat Christians or anyone this way??
Excuse me. It DOES matter a whole lot if someone is innocent or guilty I would say. I want to see full proof that he is guilty. Not accusations or any of that nonsense whether he gave her money or not. YOU may think he is a goner and he may be but until such time I don’t will presume him innocent until he is proven guilty and...if he is proven not guilty then I would take this lady to court.

absolutely. anyone can come forward and say anything against anyone. If you accuse someone of something you should have to prove it. If Cain is proven innocent he should sue the hell out of all these people.
I believe you missed my point. I’m saying he will drop out because he admitted he hadn’t told his wife about the “relationship.” That is what will do him in, not whether or not he’s guilty of an inappropriate relationship...guess what he’s gone, and that was my whole point!
he should STILL sue. And...he is NOT GONE. He SUSPENDED his campaign is all. Just like hillereee did.
