Truly I cannot say a disparaging word about Cain's accusers without making myself a hypocrite for compiling for display and thus besmirching the sources of many disparaging words about Juanita Brodderick, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey and others on the Downside Legacy.

This is something I hadn't thought about. My only disagreement would be that other than Allred's client I don't believe there has been an accusation of physical contact. What little we know from the NRA settlement was it was because of words that made them feel uncomfortable. In a case like that I'm not inclined to condemn Cain just because he said things he shouldn't have.

Indeed accusing conservatives of moral turpitude appears to be part of the Democrat general campaign strategy.

Our candidates are expected to be "sinless" since we are those "hypocrites" who go to church, believe in God and have a moral code. Obviously, it's an impossible standard but it makes their base feel good and it seems to work among the independents.

They must be very much afraid of Cain to do this much of it so early in the election cycle.

I think it's more a desire to face Romney in the general election. Romney has no core values, other than being elected. He is not conservative and if nominated will probably lose 25% of the base.

We saw Perry's character attacked with the hunting lodge stone issue, which Cain was eager to use against Perry when the opportunity presented itself. Perry was the front runner at the time. I'm hoping Perry recovers I think he's our best shot at a conservative POTUS. I just saw a quote on Red State that Cain is down 10 pts with women in IA. His poor handling of this has done him in.

Cain would have been much better off to have said that because of his exuberant personality he had told jokes in the past that some took offense to and he was sorry that people had been uncomfortable. Also, traveling on the road gets boring at times and that he often asked people to join him for a meal so he could engage in good conversation. If he had done this from the get go I think women would not have turned on him. Now it looks like he will lose some support among women Pubs and probably independents.

I think your observation that the Rats want Romney is spot on.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Indeed. As I recall, attorneys want to know all of the adverse testimony in advance so it can be introduced by themselves and not the opposing counsel. I imagine people who run political campaigns would feel the same way.

I also am a Perry supporter. Sure he has warts. Who doesn't?

But my true belief is that this country desperately needs a President who will lead on his spiritual knees:

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. – 2 Chron 7:14

Perry has a record of doing just that.
