In a conference call this morning, Herman Cain told his senior staff that he is “reassessing” whether to remain in the race

Its just sad the media destroyed a man who could have made a difference

Cain just never could get up off the mat or was strong enough to overcome the hype that many before him have survived and crawled from the ashes to be followed and admired once again. That's survival of the fittest.

Cain was a great contender, but then they got to his Psyche. This last hit took him to his knees.

Thing is, people liked Herman Cain and still do. If Herman and Mrs. Cain stood strong, as she has the job as First Lady whether she likes it or not--they could pull it off. But Herman has to have Mrs Cain in his corner to stay in the running. Miracles can happen or it just was not to be.

I wish the best for the Cains.

Hey, even the Palin family had to slip back into a more private lifestyle.

Comes down to what are you willing to give up? How hard are you willing to fight?

There is enough crap on Barry Soetoro, more than any candidate or politician could possibly ever survive. The problem is, not all that many people are aware of it because the MSM won’t report it. Fast and Furious should have been breaking news 24/7 on every news station, they buried it. His own book ‘Dreams’ should have been enough to destroy him as a candidate for president. I fear the fix is in, the coup is complete and the candidates that could stop it aren’t running.

Bush and Perry are both smart men. Neither do well in the debate field podium.The MSM has said that they are stupid so much don't believe them. Obama is a tool that doesn't even know what a corpsmen is.America is not looking for a slick talking, talking points insider.Perry brain farted.I am sure Obama has ahhh ahhh ahhh ummm ummm ummm brain farted ,they all have.I watched all the debates and Perry debating Obama does not concern me.I like Bachmann and would pay money to watch her debate Obama.In the end the media spin FOR OBAMA won't work.

But I am concerned about Obama cheating IF the elections go through and economic chaos that Obama is aiding; does not halt elections like the progressives want.

-—”I’ve decided to register as a Democrat. If Obama gets reelected watch for the government to give preferential treatment, healthcare,etc. to anyone with a D after their name. Republicans will be persecuted. I’m not kidding. Of course I will never ever vote D.”

I’ve thought of the same thing. Like Reagan, I was a registered Democrap when I was a student and didn’t know better. Haven’t changed the registration and I always vote for the WEAKER Democrats in the primaries (so they get a weak candidate) and vote conservative in the general elections. If 25% of Repubs did this and agreed to focus on one weak Democrap candidate chosen in the primaries, it could alter the outcome.

Remember in our republic a man is innocent until proven otherwise.

In a court of law. Cain isn't on trial.

He either had an affair with this woman or he didn't.

You’d have to start planning when you are like 12 years old and make sure you never make a wrong move.

Oh really? There is enough sordid past material, some of it in his own words in his own book ‘Dreams” that there shouldn’t have been a chance in hell he would ever be nominated, let alone elected. The very fact that he was elected is a puzzlement. There can’t be that many ignorant, stupid, uninformed Americans. Or can there be? and if there are then the ship is already sinking and below the bailing out stage.

DeMint would be awesome but unfortunately the date has passed to qualify for primaries.

It might be, but his problem is that when he first entered, he was clear with saying there were no skeletons in the closet. If this turns out to be true and he comes clean, that might look good, but that “Trust” factor that gave him an advantage over the other candidates is lost. It’s that one charactereistic that was helping him in the polls: people still trusted him over Mitt and Newt.

I wouldn’t read too much into the calls/texts. I have a ton of calls/texts to different people at all times of the day/night. Then again, I’m not married, but if I was I’d assume my spouse was aware of all the other people I communicated with.

If there anything I’ve learned in my time on this earth is when broke, unemployed women who have a history of filing harrassment complaints and also have libel judgments against them make accusations they have no inherant credibility and are probably lying.


Maybe Cain is attracted to unstable, dishonest, financially-desperate women?

There are better voter ID law maps than the one I posted.I think this is what we all should be worried about.While everyone is infighting we are being set up to lose even if Reagan ran and the GOP legislature have tried to fight the dems on all illegals and dead people voting to no avail.

I will NEVER sit it out. Sitters have contributed to the dilemma we now face. It’s shameful and I second everything you said.

They’ve been after Newt for years - I doubt there’s anything new on him.

2012 will certainly be a test of the above theory.

I believe you're right about that. I made this gif awhile back in recognition of that belief:

I see I really should have pointed you to this post by me in the same thread as the other one:

It clarifies my position, especially within the context of the points you make in your post to which I am responding.

************************************************************

I read your post and I agree with much of it. I don’t trust our government at all right now and I too think we’re heading down the road of a worldwide economic collapse, which is very likely to occur within the next year. In fact, I’m predicting we are going to see another sharp recession in the U.S. during this time and the DOW Jones could very well drop back down below the 9,000 mark as a result. No doubt about it, the outlook is UGLY everywhere you look.

But I strongly believe that if these events come to fruition, this is only going to secure Obama’s defeat. And it won’t be the end of the line for us or western civilization. The United States of America has proven time and time again what a resilient nation of people we are. We’ve not only survived a Revolutionary War, an extremely bloody Civil War, a Great Depression, World Wars I & II, a Cold War, and 9/11, but we’ve emerged stronger than ever before after each of these challenges. Thus, I continue to remain positive, upbeat, and vigilant despite the current dismal state of the nation.
