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.

Not only are you a Perry supporter but for many weeks you were an “enforcer”. You always appeared after those of us who thought Perry was a moron made our entrance. You were the Madame DeFarge of the Perry campaign.

I guess now that he’s bombed so spectacularly, you’re trying to scrub your spots.

None of you have made a case FOR your candidate or against Cain. All you have done is run around screaming personal attacks like this at Cain and his supporters.

Sorry but that is EXACTLY the behavior of cult of personality followers you both claim to decry.

As has been requests a few thousand time from you Livius. How about instead of spending all your time making childish personal attacks AT Cain and his supporters you try making a case FOR your candidate?

Don't just project what you yourself do onto your opponents.

Go find any of my posts to back up your ridiculous claims and we’ll talk.

Otherwise, you’re just full of hot air. I’ve challenged some of your fellow cult members to do the same and they have failed. Let’s see if you (with your questionable literary references) can do better.

I laugh at fangirls like you.

You want to keep Romney out of the nomination?

Hmm who has the best chance of that?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2806501/posts?page=1

Four out of ten Republicans believe Mitt Romney would be the most likely candidate to beat President Obama in the general election, according to a new CBS News poll.

Romney, who has lingered at or near the top of the polls since the beginning of the 2012 presidential race, led Herman Cain by a 2-to-1 margin with 40 percent support.

Cain trailed in the category with just 20 percent, followed by Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry, each with six percent. Thirteen percent of respondents said they didn't know which candidate was most likely to beat Mr. Obama.

...run around screaming personal attacks like this at Cain...

I will challenge you the same as I challenged the other fangirl.

Go find where I have ever done as you accuse above.

Otherwise keep your hyperbole to yourself and learn to deal with others who have different opinions from your own.

Not everybody is into groupthink.

I'm disappointed that this person wasted a perfectly good sleeper ID on this post.

There have been lots of posts recently whose sole purpose is to plant seeds of doubt in other Freepers.

Here's an "oldie but goodie" from 2004: Punk the prez? - Moby's anti-Bush tricks

Also, the much longer thread Moby's anti-Bush tricks (Kerry supporters admit to TROLLING conservative sites to hurt Bush)

No one's talking about how to keep the other side home on Election Day," Moby tells us. "It's a lot easier than you think and it doesn't cost that much. This election can be won by 200,000 votes."

Moby suggests that it's possible to seed doubt among Bush's far-right supporters on the Web.

"You target his natural constituencies," says the Grammy-nominated techno-wizard. "For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you're an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.

"Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, 'What's all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?'"

It looks like what's old is becoming new again.

I can certainly understand why literary references would be questionable to Perry supporters. There was one of you who loved that Perry played with guns and not books. One of my favorite Perry posts.

I also understand you throwing Perry under the bus. So take your knitting needles and go support another candidate.

He still has my vote. He’s not a perfect candidate, and I wish we had a better one. But he’s better than anything the Democrats can run, and he isn’t “flexible” like Romney or Gingrich.

I don’t agree that his campaign is over.

That's a pretty lame response there, Yetta. What's the matter? You were unable to find anything to support your ridiculous claims?

That was the intent of my questioning your insulting but laughably inaccurate literary reference. But you weren't even savvy enough to discern that so you just made yet another silly and unfounded accusation.

See, this is what you fail to understand. Not everybody has a candidate to worship. You people going around talking about "your candidate" are just like the Paulbots. You project and think that everyone has an object of worship and obsession in this. And you attack anyone who appears not to be on your little worship-bus.

The truth is, because we lack that worshipful stance, we are able to look at this with a more rational, unfiltered approach.

I like Governor Perry. I also like other candidates and have repeatedly said on here that I will pretty much support anyone but Romney, Paul or Huntsman.

But that doesn't fit your little hate-clouded image of me, so you make stuff up and then get even uglier when you fail to meet my challenge to support your empty claims.

I don't knit.

And you're a sore loser. :-D

94 Stories about Cain and alledged sexual misbehavior out of Politico in a week...
That is why most (of us) refer to it as “Lamestream Media”

all excellent points...
you can bet, The Politico (a spin-off of WaPo), had wished they hadn't taken
on this "Tar-baby"...opppss...sorry. :)....w/ what little credibility, they had is gone.

Honestly, the most clouded vision is to be found among those who most highly regard their own objectivity. Everybody believes their own beliefs are correct and true. That’s why they believe them. Why should that be transformed into this bogus argument of cult worship?

Which, BTW, I take very seriously. God will have no competition. Idolatry is really bad. So when I hear people say that, because I sincerely and energetically like a particular candidate, I am somehow a cult worshipper, I just cringe. Elections are won and lost on enthusiasm. If we win in 2012, enthusiasm will be a central reason why. Yes, enthusiasm can lead to errors in judgment and an unwillingness to apply the rules of critical thinking evenhandedly. But that does not rise to the level of idolatry, and I sincerely wish we could all show each other a little more grace under pressure. We need to win in 2012, and we will need both enthusiasm and each other to make it happen.
