Well, if he suspends his campaign but still fights back the allegations (in a courtroom) that costs money & reputation to the guilty maybe people will think twice before doing this again. I hope he fights. No one should go down like this. They’ve done it twice now. Palin & Cain. We never learn. Never. Even if people didn’t support these two they should fight against this kind of destruction. Our candidates shouldn’t be forced out by vicious character assassination. Whether or not they can win, we’ve proved the media can force anyone on our side to quit. They’ve done it to 2 of their sacred groups: women & blacks. They didn’t deserve it but perhaps we do:
“In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.”
— by Martin Niemöller, prominent German anti-Nazi theologian and Lutheran pastor, best known as the author of the poem First they came....

He owes it to his supporters, if nobody else, to get to the bottom of this. If he doesn’t sue for libel, I will have to believe that he is guilty as charged.
As many have said, if they can get away with this, it’s all they will ever do. We have libel laws for a reason.
But then, we have a lot of laws for a reason - but right now we have no rule of law. I just read a transcript of Ann Barnhardt saying that the whole financial industry is so lawless that all she can do is get out of it altogether. All she will trade in is actual physical commodities, bypassing anything with the financial industry because it is flat-out highway robbery going on - and with nobody willing to do anything to even try to re-establish the rule of law. Sounds like anybody who is a friend of Obama can do anything they darn well please - even rob people of a billion or more dollars with impunity.
When Obama broke the bankruptcy laws to give secured investors’ assets to the unions instead, it should have told us what was ahead. It was the lawlessness I saw in regards to Obama’s eligibility that convinced me I needed to speak out - because if we allow that kind of lawlessness to go by simply because we’re “embarrassed” to have Chris Matthews or DAvid Axelrod call us crazy, there will be nothing impossible to these crooks, while the rest of us just try to look “cool” while we are robbed, raped, and left for dead on the road.
I look now at that first post I wrote, to explain why the eligibility issue matters, and I wish I had been wrong. I wish that my warnings that total lawlessness was on its way if we didn’t stand up now had been totally off-the-mark. But now even those who have ridiculed the eligibility issue are having to acknowledge that we’re living in a state of lawlessness.
At this point I don’t know if we can make it to another election. More and more people are saying there’s a huge crash coming. We’ve been told Israel is going to hit Iran before the year’s end (as a result of Obama pulling the troops out of Iraq by then), and that Iran will respond badly. Congress is working on making sure Obama can occupy the entire US and allow the military to do whatever he wants it to do when the crash and/or Iranian attack hits.
Maybe the python is already too tight around our neck. Maybe we never were even going to make it to the next election, which is why Obama has been a do-nothing dip who didn’t even pretend to make a decent birth certificate forgery. Maybe the stuff with Cain was to distract us from getting ready for what is to come, or to actually insist that Congress do something to impeach the entire Obama regime which refuses to EXECUTE the laws (ENFORCE the rule of law).
We’re so worried about electing a POTUS who wants to make the right laws, etc. But the job of the chief executive is to enforce and execute the decisions made by the legislative branch. Right now we have NO LAW ENFORCEMENT. That’s what Barnhardt was saying; the whole financial industry is pillaging at will with nobody even trying to enforce the law. That’s because enforcement is up to the executive branch.
The only way we can avert anything, I suspect, is if the House had an emergency meeting calling for immediate impeachment of the entire executive branch, with some kind of restraining order so that somebody outside the regime would carry out the duties of law enforcement while the current lawless batch is being tried for crimes against the American people. Including the alleged POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama.
But hey, if we can’t even stand with somebody accused of an affair without any proof, I think we can kiss that prospect good-bye. Darryl Issa went through this charade of trying to find out what was going on with Fast & Furious, including seeing whether Eric Holder had perjured himself - only to say it’s up to Obama to decide whether Holder can stay as AG or not. Good Lord! Why are we wasting money on an investigation if the crooks are gonna get to decide whether they can continue being crooks or not?
Sorry this is so long. I just don’t see any hope for this country. I think the boa is too tight around our necks already. Nobody has the balls to do what has to be done. It’s going to come down to street-to-street combat when the communist-Islamist revolution takes over. Possibly by year’s end.
