Newt's past was over 20 years ago, he admits he was wrong, asked forgiveness, but more importantly, he openly admitted to what he had done and regretted it and took responsibility for it.
Cain made excuses and tried to shift all blame at the media. There is no tolerance or excuse for his lack of integrity.
I’m a Cain supporter. I cannot understand how people can buy the rumor/inuendo and condemn him. I just don’t understand that.
As far as how he handled it: First you guys want an outsider, a non politician, you get one and than you are down on him because he doesn’t respond like a politician, he responds like a regular non political type would. Some of you never wanted Cain but didnt’ want to be dubbed as racists. Some of you were fair weather supporters in lip service only. As soon as the road got bumpy..ya’ll caved like a cheap tent.
You say you want a conservative, a christian, a business savvy guy, a smart guy and you let the stupid media and same old gray haired GOP rhinos make you a laughing stock. Rove actually chuckled about the Cain demise on Fox the other night. Come on...are ya all as dumb as Rove thinks you are? Yeah..I guess it’s either that or you don’t believe in the principles that you have claimed day in and day out on this wonderful sight.
Herman Cain hasn’t changed! YOU have. You got jello-legged and Axelrod and Rove knew ya would..WHY? Because you fell for the same danged knee-jerk crapola and ended up with McCain LAST time.
Instead of kicking a good man while he’s down. Maybe..just maybe so called tea party people and the infamous “conservatives” should do some soul searching of their own. Which one of you are going to stand up, try your hardest and get attacked like this? Palin and Cain tried..heck you fair weather so-called christians are as luke warm as you can be.
Come to think of it..this country deserves just what it’s going to get. With obama..it will come fast..with newt and mitt..it will be a hair slower..but MUCH more painful. Why? Because Herman Cain did not change..YOU did.
I haven’t forgiven Cain for tring to blame Rick Perry. He knew darn well Rick Perry had nothing to do with the leaks but he continued to blame him.
Cain was extremely ugly to Perry all along from dissing him as a racist on Meet the Press to his insistance that Perry was responsible for his babe problem.
I don’t feel much sympathy because my candidate has been unfairly accused of stuff that he actually didn’t do.
