Have the actual texts been revealed? Or even the times of day that Cain responded to the texts?
Gloria is starting a group of women in support of Cain; that sounds like somebody who knows this is all a lynching. As a pastor’s wife I have dealt with that too. Our husbands are sitting ducks in so many ways, because of their desire to help messed-up people and their unwillingness to betray confidences.
I guess we’re better off having somebody like Biden, whose charitable contributions are probably less than ours even, but who is more than happy to buy votes with THE TAXPAYERS’ MONEY. Just imagine how messed-up DC would be if we got people in there who were generous with their own money but jealously protect the taxpayers’ right to keep their own money. Man, wouldn’t that throw the world upside-down.
That’s why Obama has to get rid of Cain. Obama, whose own brother lives in a shack. Well, at least nobody can accuse Obama of the disgusting crime of giving his own money to somebody without thought of return.
What makes me really, really sad is that people are questioning whether there is anybody who gives money without thought of return. Right here on Free Republic. I thought I was dealing with conservatives, with people who want the right to keep their money because they will do good things with their own money. I thought I was dealing with people who care about other people and want to see them prosper. I thought I was dealing with at least some Christians. When giving simply because somebody else needs it is outside the vocabulary of most people, we’re apparently in the times where “the love of most will grow cold...”
This whole thing makes me very, very sad. I see directed at Cain the same bloodthirst and betrayal that put Jesus on the cross - albeit willingly, out of the goodness of Jesus’ heart, because He knew we needed it. Those who assume that Cain is guilty because he’s on a cross out in public glibly spit on him on the way past. Judas. Peter. It just makes me really, really sad. I thought we were better than that.
On the Morning Show on KSFO this morning, I heard a report (but I don't know the source) that the texts were one-sided. They said that there were over 200 texts (not the 60 that was first reported by the TV station), that they were mostly from White to Cain, that they were in rapid succession in clusters, and that Cain would only answer one in five or so.
I wish I could find the source for what they said on the show. If it is the true characterization of the texts, it sounds like she kept texting Cain for help, and he ignored most of the texts, but when he did answer one it was to the effect of "did you look for a job?"
