“Do you know what I think is really dishonorable? That neither the Perry nor the Romney campaigns came out against the vagueness of the Politico charges against Cain. It is this type of “gotcha” journalism that keeps decent people out of politics. And neither the Romney camp nor the Perry camp has spoken out against sullying reputations nor the feeding frenzy of this type of story....
I agree, because Romney and Cain came out against the Perry place nword rock story didn't they?
Gee-sh, politics is nasty until we get a nominee, then everyone gets in line, including FReepers. Of course they enjoy their fellow Republicans getting beat up in the media. It seems FReepers have forgotten that we are fighting a bigger fight than amongst each other. But in the end all unite because Obama has to be defeated.
I disagree.
One of the things that is most despicable about the Cain frenzy is the desire for the confidentiality agreements to be opened.
A dangerous precedent against the rule-of-law that we know the current White House occupier has taken electoral advantage of in the past. A request that the restaurant association pass on the confidentiality agreements undermines any legal agreement the association has made. It is dangerous territory.
Some people have long memories and they will sit out an election rather than vote for people who did not stand up and show some integrity.
Republicans are not the same robots that the Democrats are. Although Perry and Romney really are more Democrat-lite than Republican....but maybe that is what the Democrats have been counting on all along.
