Cain suspends campaign. Will continue to speak out on issues, etc.
GO GINGRICH
Gingrich/Cain
Poof!
Just Damn!
Direct from the mouth of Axelrod, I’m sure.
Republicans in all of their self righteousness make themselves an easy target. Instead of looking at the whole man, flaws and all, we go for the candidate that never faltered and end up with one that never accomplished anything.
Theodore Roosevelt said:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
...C'mon, we need you here..
...we loved him too, and are very disappointed.
Well, I hope for the best for Herman Cain and his family. I hate that lies and smears won the day and took out a decent, ordinary citizen who just wanted to restore America to some semblance of greatness. Who in their right minds would run for office now?
Nobody running is going to even consider Cain as a running mate after leaving the race because of that bogus charge of infidelity hanging over him. (period)
Frankly, there was A LOT lying from the lady in question.
Didn’t Cain say that Gingrich is the one candidate he would not support?
Projections are that he will endorse Michele....but I hope you are right.
abort...Captain Kirk abort... don’t diddle with Spock or McKoy
I took mine off too, FR_a. But it was stuck on pretty good and took me a while...thought maybe it was a sign that I was jumping the gun. :-)
So when they pick off the next great thing, then what? You know damn well that Rove and Alexrod were behind this and even if Cain had been elected President, there would have been the RINO factor in the Senate with McCain leading the charge! I say let Barry finish his mission and then crap like this would be a non-starter.
Even if he had had an affair, if he had just admitted it, he would have been forgiven. But whether he is guilty or not, he handled it badly.
I wondered why his attorney came out with that lukewarm defense of his client. If I had been Cain and innocent, I would have fired him. Now, it seems as if Lin Wood knew something we didn't.
Now, we have big government types in the lead. I'll just hold my nose and vote for whoever wins the nomination. The RINOs will lead us down the socialist path slower.
The happiest I’ve been politically in a very long time was after the glowing pro-Herman speeches, when Herman was introduced, his pus pulled up, and he and Gloria came out to “I am America.”
What a sharp drop down from there.
I feel like you but I would never vote Dem.
The machine has won.
Strong bold men often have trouble with their strong libidos. When are we going to be forgiving of conservative men who makes these mistakes, the way Dems are forgiving of their bold leaders who rape and fellate with impunity??
Is there any way to bring Herman back?
Sorry since you refuse to use that standard in Mr Cain’s case , you can no longer claim it for yourself.
Honestly, is there anyone in the public eye to whom that standard is applied? We're in the court of public opinion, not a court of law in which a government has to prove itself to take away your rights.
What do you think about Casey Anthony? Have any opinion on Chaz Bono? What about those Kardashians? Mitt Romney (I know I do, and 'it ain't pretty')?
Is Herman Cain the only person that we're not allowed to develop negative impressions about without a formal trial process? Was I absent the day that he was bestowed that special honor?
Is it a U.S. or International rule? I need to know, because I have a business trip to the U.K. coming up.
I have not yet received my bumpersticker. It will probably arrive Monday. :(
