Same three that you said. But I am a strong fiscal conservative. Everything about money going to the government is of concern to me. Balance the budget, reduce the waste, minimize the entitlement programs, stop the ponzi schemes, stop the corrupt money flow, etc.

I am much less socially conservative. That's why any affair doesn't matter to me. I'm not married to the guy. If anyone cheats on their wife, that's his burden to bear, and his wife's burden. And it's up to them to decide if their marriage can survive. I care about what I want a President to accomplish. A President can be having 7 whores a week for lunch dates for all I care, as long as he does the job I am hiring him to do.

But for the record, my list of three things wasn't MY list of three things. I was merely point out that everyone who is ready to lynch Cain needs to be careful what they ask for. If they push Cain out, what are they left with, and will they like their remaining choices?

It's a “win the battle vs. win the war” kind of thing. It may be great to sit on a high horse and say “I would never vote for a man who cheated on his wife.” But if that means we are stuck with Obama.... well, I for one would take the guy who cheated on his wife, rather than be stuck with Obama for 4 more years. I want to win the war, not the battle.

Just so long as you know what your values/beliefs are.

There are far too many here that are flitting from candidate to candidate looking for a ‘savior’. Which tells me that they have no idea what their values/beliefs even are... as the candidates actually have differences.

A good example is seeing all the Cain supporters start to flock around Newt. I mean, just how conservative is a person if they can switch over to Newt?
