Herman Cain: A Final Word (I just did not like the way the whole "Cain thing" went down)
American Thinker ^ | 12/26/2011 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 12/26/2011 6:36:16 AM PST by SeekAndFind

I would not blame Herman Cain if he said, Lloyd, I know you mean well, brother. However, the relentless vitriolic media attacks against me have finally subsided since I dropped out of the presidential race. My family and I are finally having some peace. So why on earth would you bring up my name again?

Well, in a nutshell, I just did not like the way the whole "Cain thing" went down. Also, we live in a fast-paced news cycle, "carelessly nuke a person's life and in two days everyone has moved on," disposable world. Herman Cain's courageous bid to serve his country deserves more than "Cain...wasn't he the black dude sex fanatic who ran for president as a Republican?"

OK, Cain is gone, and we conservatives must focus on selecting our candidate to defeat Obama in 2012. I got it. But it breaks my heart, seeing what happened to this "good man." Cain was attacked from both sides of the aisle. A few conservative pundits even accused Cain of not seriously seeking the Oval Office, but instead simply seeking self-promotion.

Please do not get me wrong. I realize that playing with the big boys in the national arena is tough. I just did not realize how much tougher and how blatantly unfair it is for conservatives. As a conservative seeking to win the Republican presidential nomination, Cain endured a deep rectal vetting not required even of our current president. As a matter of fact, we still know very little about Obama's history.

You are making this thread personal.

I only said her that I feel that no one gave creedence to the first two girls or to Sharon Bialek, BUT..

When Ginger White came forward Mr Cain made admissions, parsed words and DROPPED OUT.

Something was clearly going on as witnessed by his own response.

Who here on this forum actualy think Herman Cain was presidential material to begin with, let alone after all the finger pointing and accusation from seven women over a span of 20 years. How many other women would have surfaced if he had not dropped out? Everything people liked about HC is the same the left used to get zero elected. It also got Carter elected. Truthfuly, is Herman Cain someone you want to be in charge of our military and leader of the Free World???

I also still clearly harbor issues with Cains smearing Perry.

First, I didn’t “swoop” in on a thread. As an old-time freeper, I simply went on a thread to read about a crime. That’s not swooping, that’s doing what we do here. I then made a joke which upset everyone.

My feeling is that here at FR if we dish it out, we need to take it. That’s why I refuse to go to the owner of this site and/or the mods to complain when someone “attacks” me. I’m a big girl and can take the kicks. Sometimes it even leads to better understanding. Thank you for acknowledging that you were a bit unfair about NYC. I’ll remind myself not to be so tough on Texas.

Cheers!

Perrybots love to continue hammering the blackman even after he’s out, but say one thing about Perry and the nukes come out.

Don’t you have a hood you need to wash?

I give up, how many?

I really don’t like being called racist, so you might want to frame your bullshit differently.

You came to a thread about a tragedy in Texas, Specifically pinged me and said “I thought nothing bad ever happened in Texas!”

On Christmas!

No thought of victims, no thought of anything, but pure venom.

Good bye miss marmelstien

Cainiacs love to call Perry a racist.

The race card does not behoove us.

Who called Perry a racist? Do you always make assumptions or are you just stupid?

You along with the other Perrysnots where lynching him before anything was substantiated in oder to make up for the IQ deficiency perception plaguing the Perry camp.

What the hell was that?

Oh.. I see, you are clever, you weren't calling Perry a racist, you were calling his supporters racists AND you had to imply that they are unreasonable followers of a cult of personality!

Gotcha!

For the record, I admire Mr Cains ability to come up from meager means and be successful.

I Really admire that in Condi Rice too, and I am rooting for people to be judged on their merits.

I was raised a blue collar shlub who’s Mom grew up in a shack with no running water.

Scrapping it out does not make me a racist or heartless.
