You may be right about Cain’s support not being that deep and you are definitely right about him being the choice of a lot of people who just weren’t attracted by the other candidates.
One shouldn’t judge the world by Free Republic, though it’s kinda tempting if you spend a lot of time here.
The Cain supporters on this site certainly appear to be excessively devoted to the guy and very defensive about any criticism of him.
Fortunately, I really like Perry and think he would make an excellent president, but he has my support but it’s not fanatical as some of the Cain support seems to be.
I have really been surprised at the comments of some Cain supporters. They insult the intelligence and integrity of Perry supporters by calling them "Liars", "Stupid", and make other insulting comments. I'm not saying Cain is guilty of sexual harassment, because it's just an allegation, but I do think he has lied to and misled his supporters with his explanations of his recollection of this matter. They are quick to believe any allegation, without proof, against Perry, but almost go berserk in defense of a man who has not been honest! I do not believe Cain has been fully vetted, so how can anyone think he is the best candidate available? He may be a very good man in many ways, but the fact remains he has not acted very honorable when he denies knowledge of accusations against him, and when he blames a man for something without proof.
