Putting your hands over your eyes and screaming "you are wrong" rather then addressing the facts presented is silly.
How do you know “there is more to come”?
This is not good? Why would you care whether it’s good or not, being a Perrybot? The only reason you’re on this thread is to disrupt, because you know in your heart this story doesn’t have legs and Herman Cain scares you to death. And that makes me laugh.
BWAHAAAAAHAAAAAAA
I decided yesterday that it is time to circle the wagons around Cain. I looked for his website and made my first donation. bttt
He claims to be an "objective" commentator. Fine, then let him clear up the questions about his contacts with other GOP Candidates campaigns
The other thing credible journalists might want to press Rove to clear up just what his role was in the robo-call smear campaign against John McCain in South Carolina prior to the 2000 GOP primary.
Rove needs to put these questions to bed by releasing any documentation he has clearing up the allegations that he staged that the smear job against McCain.
(Note to the Rovebots, how do you like being on the receiving end of your own media tactics for a change?)
IMO first Cain and Bachmann, and then Perry, were tossed in by the Establishment to fracture the conservative vote and discourage Palin. Perry’s entry was and is as a backup in case they really can’t force Romney into the nomination.
When Perry surged ahead too rapidly, they were glad to give Cain a boost. Now that Cain has surged ahead, sure, the Romney team wants to see him stalled—but not so desperately as the Perry team. He’s got both halves of the Establishment camp after him.
Like Bachmann’s and Gingrich’s, Cain’s campaign has had the hallmarks of a book tour, and the doubt is whether either Cain or Gingrich could get retooled for a legitimate run quickly enough—especially since Rubio’s man got FL moved up for Mitt.
On top of that, IMO, the pros have real reasons to doubt that the Cain phenomenon could withstand a race against Obama.
Buy more ammo.
Stock up.
I am convinced that if anybody but Cain gets the Republican nomination, s/he will lose to 0bamao.
I am also convinced that this is what the elites of both parties have predetermined, because they are in bed together.
Cain is the only real threat to 0bamao and the agenda of the elites, and they want him destroyed at any cost.
It is the job of the American people to make those costs higher than the elites are willing to pay. Unfortunately, it appears they are pushing their agenda with demonic fervor, much like the Iranians, not caring that they could be obliterated, because they really, really believe they are serving a higher purpose.
And perhaps they are.
For those of us who have read the end of The Book, this could be the beginning of The End.
So, you have access to Perry's "dirt file" on Cain? Interesting...
Makes one wonder WHO is behind the smear campaign...

I will not fall for the Perry flavor of the week. I’ll stick with Cain, thank you.
THAT is where I've predicted the libs will land on Cain if all else fails. "Concern" about Cain's health... "concern" he could die in office... "concern" about instability in a challenging world... "concern" that it's unwise to elect a cancer "victim."
Cain will prevail if we rally around him.
He is the last viable conservative standing.
If RINO Romney should win...the GOP is going to be shocked at the reaction. Obama will be re-elected.
Yes, I found that remark very interesting. I hope to pursue it further.
I have huge issues with Cain but it's because of his ability to take two sides of a single issue--such as abortion, gun rights, TARP, as well as others.
This issue came along at just the right time to divert attention away from Cain's flip flopping.
Cain flip flops just like Romney, the difference is that Cain is doing his flip flopping now and Romney did his in the past.
Heck, nobody needs a dirt file on Perry. It is all over the place for anyone to see. He never met a crony deal he didn’t like. Egads.
It is a real embarrassment.
Proof is that he isn’t even on top in his own state.
The problem is, anyone could have seen this. If Cain's chief of staff couldn't see this for the smoke, he should be replaced. Anyone running for a top office or job knows before hand that if they have any "skeletons", it doesn't matter if the are "untrue", you better identify them and have a plan on how to deal with them. That Cain's campaign was totally unprepared is very troubling. This is the first time I have felt that Cain and his staff may not be up to the job of running a national campaign. I don't know what I would have left though after Cain. Maybe Gingrich, but with his"baggage" I'm not so sanguine that he could beat Obama.
This episode by Cain is not a small thing, I think it will be devastating, mostly because of how poorly he handled it. I feel sick about it.
Just a FYI: Cain never flip-flopped on abortion. I’m sure if you saw the edited version of the Morgan interview that took out the question he was answering, you might see that. Or, if you wanted to see a flip-flop so that it would help your candidate, you might see one where it did not exist. But wishing does not make it true.
> If RINO Romney should win...the GOP is going to be shocked

I don’t think the Republican establishment will be shocked at all.
I believe this is the desired outcome for the elites of both parties.
Hate to break it to you, but Cain is the first candidate I have seen real excitement about in this election cycle. I was all for Perry, and could be if he makes vast improvements, but in talking to a number of different Republicans of all types, without exception, they see me and can’t wait to start raving about Herman Cain.
