Why schedule an event disclosing your campaign team on Saturday if you’re going to say on Friday that you’re not campaigning?

I’ve heard people saying that no guy gives money without expecting something in return.

I’ve heard people say that if a man gives even a drop in the bucket out of the family’s finances without telling his wife it’s got to be because he’s up to no good. We don’t know amounts, but if Cain has 5 million and gave $500, that would be like somebody who earns $50,000 a year not telling his wife about a $5 donation. Shall we look at everybody’s checkbook and see whether they told their spouse about every $5 they gave to somebody in need? Ideally, yeah maybe. In reality? I’m not sure that’s how busy millionaires spend their time with their spouse - telling about every $5 they gave.

I started posting at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2814962/posts?page=134#134 some thoughts that I think people need to consider before they crucify Herman Cain.

If he quits because conservatives turned on him, it will complete the conversion of what I thought was a kind, middle-America movement into the pitted-out, kindness-doesn’t-exist, Chicago-thug mentality we see on the national political stage.

Sad. Very, very sad. Enough to make me want to kiss it all good-bye and write this nation off as lost.

Exactly. I'm no millionaire, but I gave Cain money for his campaign without telling anyone save one conservative friend. Does that mean I'm having an illicit relationship with Cain? No. It means he had a good use and need for the money and I had it to give. Nothing more than that happened. I swear.

Me too.. I have very little hope for this country's future. I feel blessed to have lived through some great times though.

I give money three or four times a year and my wife doesn't know about. In fact some times I'm sending messages to the recipient of this money at three or four in the morning and my wife has no idea that I'm doing it.

The recipient of this money and my over night messaging is of course...FR.

Oh, perk up.

You should never have loved Cain that much. He was a politician and it’s never a good idea to idolize a politician.

There are other good people running. As far as I know, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Huntsman, and Rick Perry are moral people with good conservative values.
