Tea party leader calls for Cain to drop out
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/10/2011 | CJ Ciaramella

Posted on 11/10/2011 6:20:11 AM PST by martosko

The leader of a tea party group is calling for scandal-embroiled GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain to drop out of the race.

Judson Phillips, the founding leader of Tea Party Nation, said Cain’s flailing response to sexual harassment allegations brought forward by several women was simply unacceptable.

“Herman Cain has got to go,” Judson said in an email to Tea Party Nation members. “I do not believe Cain’s accusers. There are too many questions about them. The allegations are not why Cain should leave. The campaign’s response is why he should now withdraw.”

He is responding the way the chicago machine hoped Cain would respond. He is showing a strong lack of courage.

Or he’s a Perry or Romney fan.

NO NO NO

I’m on the Newt express but I’ve had enough of the media and the DNC just destroying people based on trumped up charges.

Someone has to take a stand. Palin backed down. I hope Cain stands up to them. GO HERMAN !

—Judson attacked Palin a couple of times in the past and he endorsed Newt—

Well, that explains it.

Funny...it thought it sounded a bit Medved-ish, too.

I like Michael Medved...but on a few issues his snotty Yaley side comes out.

Reread your own books Mike. Sometimes you are insufferable.

Oh, and Judson? Who the efff cares what you think. I consider myself part of the “tea party movement” and you sure hold no sway over me.

Mr. Cain—keep on going. I don't know who I will vote for in the primary, but Cain continues to fight the good fight, and I don't want him forced out by racists or fake victims of sexual harassment.

Who?

The Tea Party has no leaders -- not even Santelli, and it's his baby.

The girl I am dating said that even if the accusations are
false too much damage has been done to Cain. It made my head
hurt to hear that. It goes back to the liberal meme: ‘the severity of the charge’.

Judson...the founding leader...

Never heard of this pompous jerk. As said in an earlier comment, "Go pound sand".

He runs a social network site. Not a real tea party group.

Tea Party Nation

"..National Tea Party Convention

Tea Party Nation organized the National Tea Party Convention held February 4–6, 2010.[6] Around 600 activists attended the event,[7] and Sarah Palin was featured as the keynote speaker. The event was criticized for its $549 ticket price,[8][9][10][11] as well as the fact that Palin was apparently paid $100,000 USD for her appearance.[12] Palin has said she will donate the fee to unspecified conservative causes.[13]

Several prominent conservative organizations refused to participate in the event due to its for-profit nature. The Tea Party Patriots advised members not to participate in December 2009.[14] Erick Erickson of the conservative blog RedState.com described the convention as "scammy" on January 11.[15] The American Liberty Alliance (ALA), initially a co-sponsor, withdrew its support on January 13.[16] Later in January, Michele Bachmann and Marsha Blackburn cancelled their plans to speak.[17]

At the convention, it was announced that a 501(c)(4) corporation and political action committee (PAC) called "Ensuring Liberty" would be formed to support candidates for office in the 2010 elections.[14][18][19]

A subsequent convention was booked for the following July, postponed until October, and ultimately cancelled. On July 18, 2011 the Venetian Casino Resort filed suit for unpaid bills allegedly totaling $642,144. [20].."

What is “flailing” about stating unequivocally that one never acted inappropriately towards anyone?

Such a statement may be true, or it may be untrue, but it is NOT “flailing”.

Hey Judson Phillips, if your main complaint is “The campaign’s response is why he should now withdraw.”, then what are the specifics of this “response” that have led you to this conclusion?

Don’t crawfish on this one if you want the respect of those that you currently lead. Be specific, document and be constructive.

This is YOUR chance to lead by example. We will be watching - - - .
