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.

When the author said:
Cain said that "there will probably be other" complaints of sexual harassment. If these complaints of sexual harassment are made up out of thin air, how is it that he predicts there will be others?
I realized that the author is just being flat out stupid.

The financial reward motive alone is so great for these accusers, that I myself am considering accusing Cain of corn holing me! And if an honest conservative straight guy is feeling tempted to hop on the gravy train, how much more so must every liberal douche bag out there be face palming themselves that they didn't think of claiming harassment first for the big bucks and instant fame that these earliest accusers are getting.

Is It Too Soon For Obama Nostalgia?
Posted on September 12, 2011 by Thomas Thurlow


~snip~


I can even say good things about Barack Obama. Barack Obama has always had a disarming smile and a pleasant way about him. There, I said it. And who could ever forget that scene of a smiling Obama wearing a cowboy hat while campaigning in Austin? See? Not a peep from my inner-partisan. And the nation’s first black president – even if I didn’t vote for him there was the consolation that a black man is finally president. That was good. And all the fainting at Obama’s campaign rallies in 2008? That was worth watching, even for us conservatives! I just wrote some good things about President Obama and I feel fine!


GAG!

Again, this wannabe writer is a CRACKPOT!

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!

This guy's writing is so wacked it ought to be classified as satire.

By its very nature, and analogy is not precise. So using one in an article meant to prove fact will only obscure the clarity of the factual case by tossing in a touch of pop culture romance. It’s as if the writers are saying, “See? Real life is just like the movies.” How childish.

Which doesn’t bother someone trying to show how their article should connect to people who watch reality TV and cheesy romance movies like TITANIC.

Saying “I’m a lawyer and I could tell she was being honest just by looking at her” doesn’t amount to much in my book.

I would think lawyers were a little smarter.

Heck, Ray Charles could have seen through that dog and pony show.

Any dirt on this guy?

He would probably be the worst president ever, but I would bet money he doesn't like making passes. Well, at women.

“My problem with Cain is that his record hasn’t been vetted.”

Compared to who?

LOL. I almost want to register at The American Thinker to blast him, but it’s late and I’m feeling charitable.

That line about looking at her reminded me of a humor article I read years ago, about “How to get out of jury duty.” One of the things it suggested was, “Tell the judge you don’t need to see any evidence, you can tell if someone’s guilty just by looking at them.”

Some lawyers seem to think their Spidey sense is the last word.

Still in the laed for mine. I've seen golddiggers and opportunists before. They didn't have credibility to start with and they have gone down hill from there.

Just a thought: When the msm blathers hard, hot, and heavy about something with no specifics, no names, and then trots out someone who has to read from crib notes to get her story straight--after remembering this 'traumatic incident' for 15 years, chances are the whole story is pure BS.

Post-and-run.

It ought to be a crime. I'll take a wild guess that the author of the source opinion is your friend or family member. Otherwise, it is wasted bandwidth.
