(Reuters) - Allegations that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain sexually harassed women in the 1990s have begun to damage his bid for the White House, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The poll showed the percentage of Republicans who view Cain favorably dropped 9 percentage points, to 57 percent from 66 percent a week ago.

More pimping than Sharpton in front of ten cameras.

I’m not a Perry supporter (currently supporting Cain), but that post is leftist propaganda. I mean, anti-choice, anti-gay, and anti science? Those are major leftist buzzwords.

I’m sorry I had to post a “leftist” source. InfoWars isn’t covering it. If they were, I’d be more “pure” in my linking.

I’d take Perry over Romney any day of the week, but that’s not saying much. I’d take Joe Liebermann or Jubilation T. Cornpone over Milt.

Inadvertently in your mind, perhaps. The second sentence in post#32 has no context if one deems the first sentence an accusation. Therefore, I knew exactly what the poster meant in post#32.

This is all a non-issue, really. Most know that if you post often enough the search feature will eventually let you down. I combine Google searches with the FR search feature just to be sure.

I don’t have time to read Anthony Robbins. I certainly don’t have time to read an Anthony Robbin’s “me too” book. I just finished Dick Cheney’s book. I thought it was fair to good.

Nope, and I’m not a race car driver, an astronaut or a stunt man either.

I was referring to the Rick Perry Scarface poster that called him anti-choice, amongst other buzzwords.

By the way, if merit were on military service alone, then Carter would have been a better choice than Reagan. That alone pokes holes in the argument.

I’m not sure how fast Google picks up FR stuff. I don’t know if FR is feeding an XML site map to google. Every time I search google using the suffix “site:freerepublic.com” it returns a lot of old stuff.

I was paying attention to the right side of the poster.

The reference to Perry’s veteran status was to counter the claim that Perry hates his country and will do something to harm it. I noted that he was the only veteran in the race.

(Ron Paul is a vet too, but OB-GYNs at Willford Hall don’t count (-; Although I am sure that Ron Paul loves his country too).

So you’re citing a Rick Perry webpage that you yourself developed as the source?

Maybe that would work if you actually had some quotes and links to the National Journal that back up your claim that

“I read an article in the National Journal that said the NRA couldn’t get rid of Cain’s womanizing ass soon enough.”

but you don’t. I suppose if you actually had that information you would have linked to it here instead of driving traffic to your Rick Perry Report.

Some of his peers privately said that they were astonished at how he was being portrayed. They said that his less than three-year tenure (rather brief in the Washington trade-association world) was rocky and that the restaurant folks couldn’t get rid of him soon enough—possibly because of sexual-harassment allegations.

Again, an anonymous source privately says something nasty about a former co-worker, and you think this is dispositive? Really? No wonder you think the Politico story was "adequately sourced." This is nothing more than rumor, and more to the point: IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THE CLAIM YOU MADE.

You've turned an unsourced, anonymous, off the record quote, accompanied by an editorial conjecture on the part of the journalist (or editorialist, it's hard to tell which) into a factual statement that the NRA wanted to be rid of Cain for sexual harassment.

Someone here is indeed "reckless and arrogant," and I'll let FReepers judge for themselves who that is based on the thinness of your actual facts and your shameless blog-pimping.

Good point.

I live in an area heavily populated by former military. Some of the biggest crooks I have ever encountered are retired officers. NWIH does Rick Perry or anybody else get an integrity pass based on that criteria alone.

From what I have seen of the special treatment given his cronies alone, I'd say Perry's moral compass cracked a long time ago.
