Now that both political establishments and the media has driven Herman Cain from the race for the GOP Nomination with empty allegations, that did not measure up to any smell test, the truth of the matter is that Cain was driven from the race because he was not part of the political elite class on both sides along with the media that has selected out candidates since 1993.
When Cain first entered the race, both political establishments asked, "Why was he even in the race having never held public office," but even as his unconventional campaign started to appeal to Tea Party Members and Americans sick of politics as usual, then came the tagline that he was only in the race to sell his book. Despite all these talking points being forge by the political establishments and the media, even more Americans were drawn to Cain's 9-9-9 plan which lead him to front runner status in what was suppose to be in a already decided race between Romney and Obama.
The Republican and Democrat Establishments thus had to remove Cain from the race because it could not have the American People throw it plans into total chaos as Cain was not part of the political class that cuts deals in the back of smoke filled room and tries to sell itself as Conservative and Liberal as any Mr. Smith goes to Washington Story lines are complete unacceptable in the eyes of the media and the establishments.
Cain's withdrawal from the is clearly a victory for the Alexrod/Rove/Media Machine as they will be the ones, who give us the candidate that will face Obama and right not it looks like for the GOP that Mittens Romney will be that nominee!
If voting could actually change anything, it would be illegal too.It's looking more and more accurate every year. The media makes sure that no true conservative ever rises to public prominence without being savaged over and over until he or she surrenders. Look at Sarah Palin. As soon as she looked like a potential threat, her life was put under a microscope and made a living hell. Cain was subjected to sleazy attacks. Newt will be next, until only RINO Romney is left.
You raise a valid point, the same one I raised the other day when I asked, “if we are so willing to accept these allegations against Mr. Cain with no more proof than we’ve seen - what does that say about US?”
I think the answer is, many conservatives transferred their own weaknesses onto Mr. Cain, and figured that if *they* had been in his position of wealth and power, they would have cheated and done these things, so by transferrence, Mr. Cain must be guilty of them as well.
A psychologist could probably give a better explanation, but it’s the same reason that we tend to believe gossip and rumors even about people we know, rather than suspending judgement until the actual facts are known.
Smearing a person is so easy to do! But trying to disprove a smear puts the accused in the position of either being condemned for remaining silent, or being defensive if they try to clear their name. Sarah Palin can tell you all about it...
I’m just saying, the reason lies within ourselves.
Bookmarked.
I couldn’t agree with you more, sir.
The left did exactly what it said it was going to do, and the right bought it hook, line, sinker, pole, boat, and driver.
I certainly hope conservatives are proud of themselves.
Boy oh boy...
I agree...
thank you...
Bravo! Spot on!
Sorry, it pains me to say this but much of this was self inflicted by Cain. If there was a shred of truth to this Herm needed to admit infidelity and try to get ahead of the story. Instead, his denials became more ridiculous as a phalanx of bimbos erupted.
I am anxious to see where his upper level campaign staff ends up.
There is still much to learn about this.
“Simply put. Cain scared Obama at the deepest level of his profoundly pathetic soul. There is absolutely no way that Obama could have taken the stage in a debate between the two of them.”
Wholeheartedly concur. 0bama will NOT oppose an American Black man...who grew up AS an American Black and pulled himself up by his own lights.

It's also meant as an example to any blacks in the DemocRAT Liberal Plantation, to stay inside and mind their manners. The message is "THIS is what happens to folks who cross us!"
“A few weeks ago Cain was polling at 23% among likely Republican primary voters and a few days ago he was polling at 6%.”
Frankly, I will no longer be persuaded by any poll at all. I no longer believe in being ‘told’ anything. Either we believe it ain’t over until it’s over or we don’t.
I barely watch even Fox. My news comes from here, The Blaze, Drudge and FOREIGN sources. The individual stories about experiences and opinions coming from actual people out in “the field” resonate more than any pundit.
I am certain you at least partially agree, since you post here on FR.
I am honestly insulted that our “betters” assume we don’t read, think, or otherwise come to an understanding of our principles as a result of our exploration and research. I no longer stomach those who deny or refuse to consider alternative views.
0bama’s legitimate candidacy for POTUS was introduced by 0bama Girl’s “I love Barack 0bama,” which HE (or someone for him) paid for. A White, big-breated woman. On YouTube. Since when does this tactic represent legitimate politics in this country?
Now, 0bama comes up with the “I’m in. Are you in?” sexually suggestive/common gambler’s phraseology double entendre as a legitimate campaign slogan. No doubt he’ll use “Love to Love You, Baby,” “I Am So Into You,” or “In the Mood” as his theme song.
/Rant
The FR members who helped bring Cain down are Axelrod's useful idiots. They gleefully slurped up every baseless charge and participated in the reality TV show that is the modern political campaign. Because it wasn't their preferred candidate that was getting attacked by the Chicago Machine, it was somehow great sport.
Two examples of people being human, and not being immune to believing the bullcrap put out by the enemedia:
Example #1:
9-9-9: The enemy argued that it was bad because there was nothing to stop it from becoming 10-10-10 or even 30-30-30. Well 9-9-9 may have been bad, but not for that reason. Tax structures don't raise taxes, politicians (and/or voters) do. By their reasoning, there is nothing to stop our current tax structure from becoming a 75% tax. Additionally, they argued that “the voters” will never approve a National Sales Tax. Yet those same “voters” somehow managed to approve STATE Sales Taxes in all but FIVE states. So apparently a good many voters didn't have a problem approving a Sales Tax. Many Conservatives believed both of these falsehoods.
Example #2:
In Mike Huckabee’s Presidential Forum the other night, the female attorney challenged Gingrich on his idea that illegal immigration cases might be decided by jury trial. She said she was uncomfortable with that idea, “as a 20 year prosecutor, because that puts friends and neighbors in a position of deciding the fate of these people.” Gingrich rightly responded, “That is what we do now with our jury system,” - we have juries of our peers, and it was designed that way. Yet the woman, the Attorney General for the State of Florida, whom we would expect to be Conservative, was more than willing to believe the enemy spin of being against jury trials for illegals because “friends and neighbors” would be on the jury.
People are people. Conservatives are people. Collectively, the masses are ignorant, and remain so intentionally, by being too lazy to even click on links in FR threads.
I’m expecting his new campaign song to be “Let’s Get It On.”
Yes, Mr. TrueBlackMan. I agree with you 100%.
The only thing he’s guilty of is not telling the msm to kiss his rosy red arse and then ignore them.
