Not brave, not today.
Saying this while Bork was being borked, when it might have done some good, would have been brave.
Politics (and American presidential politics in particular) is a contact sport.
If they’re starting to try to dig up dirt on Herman Cain, it means the political establishment is starting to take him seriously.
If he thinks he’s made out of presidential material, then he’ll find a way out of this thing. If he doesn’t, then we know he isn’t the guy we want to run against Obama.
I haven’t made up my mind yet about who I think the best candidate is, but I like a lot of what Herman Cain has to say. I don’t know if I’d vote for him in a primary, but we aren’t there yet, so I’ve got some time to mull it over.
Either ways though, if there’s no merit to this thing, it’ll blow over as soon as the media gets bored with the story, and if there is merit, well, probably better to have the story come out now, then to come out a month before the election.
Mona says “It isn’t a Borking if you don’t scream and let the crap stick to you”.
Would she offer that advice to a woman undergoing a sexual assault?
After all, this type of smeary garbage is the political equivalent.
Cain should hire a staffer to deal with bimbo eruptions, then he should rape a woman, use GA State Troopers to select suitable objects of his desire, and finally of course, catch a few Lewinskys under his desk.
Politics..especially National Politics is a full CONTACT sport. With the possible exception of George Washington all presidents have been vilified by their opponents. Black or white, if your skin is thin...don’t get in.
They will say since Cain talked about it, the condifentiality portion is broken and seomone will offer enough money to make it worth their while...and then watch them come forward and try and refute whatever it is Cain has said.
Then he will fall back on the records of the investigation itself.
In the end, my guess is the attempt is going to just further galvanize Cain's support.
It is already doing so and it will backfire on the left and RINOs.
I’m beginning to think that Cain was “Borked” — or “Clarence Thomased” — at the National Restaurant Association, as well. You don’t have to be in government to have a cabal of people around who are willing to go to great lengths to see to it that you fail.
Now their racism is manifestation of their insanity of doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
We must not let the other side pick our candidate for us. I will continue to donate to Herman Cain’s campaign.
Witch hunt that almost took out Clarence Thomas. Hell no on Romney being the nominee ! Need no East Coast establishment politician as nominee !
