Rove and the GOPbot Establishment better buy a clue.
These sort of gutter level political tactics may just buy the GOP a third party challenge from the Tea Party.
Beat Cain on the issues or get out of the way GOPbots.
The standard Rove slime tactics will not be tolerated this time around. The stakes are too high in 2012 for these stupid politics as usual tactics.
Sorry to say, but I never saw Cain as a serious candidate. It’s obvious that the powers that be tried to throw Rick Perry off the train from the git-go. He was the biggest threat to Romney & I think they propped Cain up to take away from Perry - as is so vivid by the Perry Haters here on this site - but Perry is the only one that has the resources to beat Romney. All this tearing down of him - again on this site - is not going to help the conservatives in the long run. Sure, Perry has flaws - but he is the most conservative with the ONLY chance to beat Romney.
People had better wake up & quit falling for the flavor of the week - it’s time to get serious.
No, this faux-scandal isn’t hurting Cain with the voters (in my area, at least).
These things are so obviously trumped up distractions; and the media hypocrisy is driving a lot of people over the fence FOR Cain. People are tired of these tactics.
I wonder what Bill Clinton has to say about all of this? The media always work hard to get a quote from him, but for some reason - silence.
Huh? Why is that? There is "documentation" of a settlement between my father's insurance company and a woman who claimed an injury from a car accident which never happened, with no evidence, and one witness - her boyfriend. Liberty Mutual paid her $57,000 to go away. Does my father's denial no longer "suffice"?
WOMEN LIE. Men lie too. People lie every single day for money. Stop pretending that "sexual harassment" is some sacrosanct area that should always be believed. I am sure many FReepers have stories of phony harassment claims to tell.
Personally I thought the takedown of Herman Cain would come in the form of legions of former Godfathers Pizza employees appearing in a string of “I Am A Victim of Herman’s Sweatshop” ads.
If you listen or heed anything Charlie Cook utters, you are either a fool or moron, or....both!!! End of story!!!
More anonymous "sources"! Meanwhile Cain has at last count 12 people who have gone on record to refute these claims.
Cain ain't got troubles...some nuisance issues maybe, but the current attacks will only strengthen the resolve of many to vote for Herman.
People have gotten tired of this kind of garbage, and it will only result in the further abandonment of the "attackers".
I saw a thread earlier speculating (emphasis on speculation) on whether Karl Rove was the source of the Politico hit piece. Another thread yesterday reminded us of how the Romney campaign was involved in a 2008 hit piece (also from Politico) against Fred Thompson’s campaign, claiming he was dropping out of the race just prior to the Iowa caucus. I’m not making an accusation. But one has to wonder whether this was part of a well-planned effort by the GOP.
GO HERMAN!!!

Great post...worth reading
We have. GO HERMAN!!!!
I’m sure they were. Specifics tend to disavow the original intent of the statement which wouldn’t be a good thing if you are trying to spread propaganda.
Perry is the GOP Establishment fall back potion. Perry's only in here to split the Conservative Tea Party vote and hand Romney the nod

Step 3: Moderate whoever they pick as the 2012 nominee
Kristol told me just after Perry entered the race, a development that essentially ended [the more radical Michele] Bachmann’s brief ascent. Establishment Republicans may prefer Romney to Perry, but their assumption is that either man can be counted on to steer the party back toward the broad center next fall, effectively disarming the Tea Party mutiny.
It’s not the allegations that will take Cain down this time - it’s the changing of his story issues. The man is always changing his story - this is not good.
You’re just plain wrong - and you’re going to see it over the next few days. There is more to come.
That’s not a surprise. Non of the Perrybots did.
...and, of course, come over and vote for Perry.
No thanks!
Nice try but fraudlent.
Cain had an interview in the morning and one late in the evening. He had more information at the 2nd one then he did at the first.
Now the sleazeballs are trying to spin it as “changing his story”. NO the information he had changed between the morning interview and the evening one.
All of these attacks...
BTW, Chuck Todd just brought up Cain’s Cancer as a concern.
RB Miller is even more affirmed and will send another check today to Herman Cain.
I’ve always thought that I could bring myself to vote for Romney if the scumbag should win the nomination...a last resort anybody but Obama line.
But...no. These BS attacks, multiple in number and broad in support across the Leftist perspective and inded, across the Establishment of the GOP...have my final answer.
NO ROMNEY, NO VOTE...IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
IF THE ESTABLISHMENT MUST HAVE THEIR WAY AT ANY COST AND WITH ANY METHOD...THEN THEY CAN FOIST OBAMA ON US AGAIN.
