One-time GOP primary front-runner Herman Cain, who exited the race amid spiraling allegations of sexual infidelity, hears no call from the campaign trail after his failure to make it all the way to this week's Republican convention in Tampa, Fla., he said today.
"No, I don't [miss campaigning,]" Cain, a conservative radio host and former pizza-chain CEO who momentarily led the pack of GOP candidates before dropping out in December, told Terry Moran of "Nightline."
"It's always bittersweet when you compete in anything, but I said from the very beginning, whoever gets the nomination, I am going to support them fully," Cain said on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
Cain, who briefly tapped into a party then frustrated with Mitt Romney, was not invited to speak at the convention, a snub he says doesn't offend him. "I'm not going to be participating with the formal convention program, but it's not about me," he told Moran. "It's about giving exposure to some young stars who are running for office."
Cain's road to endorsing Romney, set to be nominated later this week, was a long one. After dropping out, Cain, 66, initially endorsed "the American people," before throwing his support more directly to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. It was not until May that Cain endorsed Romney.

Clinching proof— Cain is a baby-killin’ illegal-coddlin’ Neo-Marxist RINO.
You heard it here first.
I won’t say that, but I am very bitter over his refusal to stay in the race. I don’t want to hear him any more. He is just talk.
Anyone who supports Mr. RomneyCARE, author of Death Panels,
and gay marriage and the BIGDIG coverup, cannot
possibly be conservative. That includes the GOPe.
And we have no way of knowing what really happened.
Sigh....Coming out for Romney is usually more a case of coming out against Obama, but the thread already has Herman as a baby-killing monster. The dingbats are out in force.
Cain's quick leap to the front rattled a lot of people, rats and repubs. We were left with mit, but the TEA Party continues to grow and more members will be installed this cycle.
We didn't get where we are over night and it won't change over night
Careful there...officieal FR Policy is the defeat of RINO Romney. THose who speak otherwise may face the perils of the zot, and Rethuglican candidates past or present who support Romney are to be banished from our midst as heretics. That goes for that irrelevant RINO-lovin’ quitter Sarah P and the Chimpster as well.
That ended on the 20th.
Did I mis a memo?

No.
This is official FR policy:

Gee. I always thought of FR as a conglomeration of minds/patriots who expressed their own opinions and those who were not "mainstream" added food for thought and examination. Like a number of others, you seem to indicate that one person's opinion outweighs the collective and all other thought is verboten. I guess it's easier to be a blind follower than it is to be a free thinker - just ask any left-wing liberal for an original thought and you get a Borg-like single mindspeak. Are you saying that FR is better off if everyone toes the "official policy" line? I know JR is adamantly against Romney, and that's fine because he developed that line of thought all by himself. I think I have developed enough of a sense of him over the last 11 years to believe he doesn't want to start a cult, yet many here seem to wish he would so they can adore him above all others. Once again - many of you think it's just hunky-dory to take the "F" out of "FR". I have yet to read a cogent game-plan/end-game expectation of your current bid to take Romney down even if it means Obama gets to continue the dismantling of what's left. Kool-Aid anyone?
"I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective."
DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
WOMAN: Oh there you go, bringing class into it again.
Thanks - I needed the laugh.

If that is all you got out of it, I guess you didn’t read the link that I posted. ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2920626/posts )
Neither FR, nor Jim Rob is that simplistic. (except for the small cadre of MSM/GOPe Zombies that continue to attack Todd Akin)
If you check their posting histories in the period just before the zot, you will find that their sin was continually taunting Jim and/or the mods.
>> “There is another possibility. It was all true.” <<

Then of course, there is another much more probable answer: You’re an idiot.
LOL
