Curtains For Cain
American Thinker ^ | November 12, 2011 | Tom Thurlow

Posted on 11/12/2011 12:33:36 AM PST by reformedcrat

The fatal blow to the campaign has been made. Whether he knows it or not, Herman Cain's campaign is over. I would be overjoyed to be wrong, but the numbers and believability of sexual harassment claims against him have amounted to the critical mass of complaints that end the Cain campaign. It is only a matter of time before everyone realizes it.

I am very skeptical of the Sexual Harrassment claims, but the way he has handled his campaign and interviews and his inept staff has turned me off on him.

Most think that defense is job number one.

Unless we don’t. In which case maybe we can get Palin in a brokered convention.

Be still my heart!

Cain, Bachmann, Paul, Santorum (sorta) are competing for the tea party / conservative spot.

I'd take Santorum over Paul in a heartbeat.

Paul is too liberal for my tastes. All of that Alex Jones, Code Pink, Stormfront buddy-buddy stuff is rather unsettling.

The news media (including Fox) has already lined up behind Mitt and are busy trying to shove him down our throats. We have to keep them from succeeding at this.

And then we’ll have a nominee. Unless we don’t. In which case maybe we can get Palin in a brokered convention.

Palin has already indicated that she's not interested. I don't want someone in the White House who doesn't want to be there. I like Sarah Palin, but let's not try to force a square peg into a round hole.

Nothing good would come from that.

I agree. I am already suffering from incompetent black president syndrome.

REPUBLICANS: It's been done! Try something new! Find an intelligent conservative to run for president! - tdscpa

That says it all. Now piss off. I want nothing to do with you ever again.

As I see it, trying to persuade people about Paul now, when there are at least 8 choices, is a bit of a waste of time.

Cain has the message that people are liking right now. He’s got a perfect record. Of course it helps that he’s never voted for anything or signed a bill, so technically, he has no record at all. Which is fine. People like him. And I personally take Cain’s side against the nasty, skanky golddigging bitches. And I liked that smoking ad.

If Palin jumped in the race right now, Cain would lose more than half of his support to her instantly. But she isn’t in the race right now.

Israel is explicitly discussed in many debates.

Yeah. The Dims would love to throw them under the bus.

I am about defending Israel too.

And Taiwan.
And putting those anti-missiles in Poland.
And beefing up India against China and Pakistan.
And defending Japan against encroachments.
And Iraqi Freedom.
And killing Taliban in Afghanistan.
And Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
And the "International" Space Station.
And Traquility Base etc.

The United States is hegemon or someone else is and that would be bad for America anywhere.
And history shows that once an empire begins to withdraw, the momentum of defeat and collapse is hard to stop.

If you want to withdraw only from Israel, then, yes, you are an anti-semite.

If you want to withdraw from most or all of them, then you are anti-American.

If a few strategically timed, unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, unproven allegations are enough to drive you out of Cain`s camp, your support for him was never that strong anyway.

Even in a court proceeding, everyone speaking with regards to testimony is rendered under oath, except the attorneys.

Anyone who believes this crud doesn’t have the smarts to vote.

Thank you for that. I looked at this and thought "it's time for me to take a break from FR", the nasty things I wanted to say to the writer and the poster of this ignorant drivel was over the line. I'm getting so tired of this crap.

Just came down to grab something to drink and of course, had to check in. When I first saw the headline, “Curtains For Cain,” I wondered if someone had stolen michelle’s wardrobe and tried to stick cain with it.
You can prolly tell I am still half asleep.

“He had my vote. Had.”
Thanks for the post...Who cares what you think ? I sure don’t!
American Thinker is not on my link list of websites to go to and I’m thinking of dropping Real Clear as well because most of their stuff doesn’t refer to investigative reporting sites uncovering shenanigans and corruption but to statist publication like the NYT or WAPO.
Too many FR’s load up with their wearysome opinions on their favorites which is OK. For it’s what happens in their precincts is what matters.

This mentality of ‘if you repeat something often enough it will become true’ doesn't work for the dimocrats so why do you think it will work now for you?
