If Perry rises sharply, I’m not sure if the media can put the hurt on the man again.
They’ve already unloaded both barrels. What would they have left?
Please understand, this is not my wish for this to happen, but it indeed will.
Case in point: whatever came of those first four women that Cain was supposed to have sexually harassed? NOTHING! So, what happens: the Leftists march out another woman making unsubstantiated claims against Cain.
Here’s the point: it really doesn’t matter if the allegations are true or not. Even FReepers were sucked into saying: “You know, these allegations are a distraction for Cain...he needs to drop out.” Do you really think the media are going to sit back and say: “Yep, we’ve already hit Perry with both barrels...guess we’d better just accept that he rising in the polls.” No and Heck no!
If you think the media went after Perry hard early on, you ain’t seen nothing yet. That will look like child’s play if it looks like he might clinch the GOP primary. When Republicans actively decided to accept the Dems premise that mere allegations against GOP candidates was problematic, they opened the doors fully to the Leftists in determining who, and who wasn’t a viable candidate.
As I’ve said, what’s most sad about this, is that FReepers (many of whom were Perry supporters) actually joined in the chorus with Politico in castigating Mr. Cain, not realizing that the same thing WILL happen to every other GOP candidate who rises in the primary ranks.
I have a bad feeling that we’ve doomed ourselves by siding with leftists as they destroy our candidates. We are in big trouble. Cain’s deciding to drop out has confirmed that point very well.
It wouldn't matter; they would make stuff up.
