Cain has only been accused.
I can accuse you of anything that I choose.
In addition, all I need is your cell and I can text you hundreds of times.
Does that even mean that you read them?
I get text messages and email spam by the hundreds. Does that mean I am involved with any of these people?
So people with any sense of decency and fairness, and let the shoe fit whom it may, will wait until they see the contents of the text messages and whether they were replied to and if so how.
An whether there were in fact any flight and hotel reservations and if so who rode in the seats and who stayed in the hotel.
Until you see these, speculation is childish blubbering.
And for the sanctimonious Perrybots, if Perry had more than single digits he would soon be confronted with some half naked porn star claiming he banged her.
The only reason he has not had the treatment is that he did not stay at the top long enough to be a factor.
Frankly, I would take him over either Newt or Romney, but that may never be a choice.
Okay. It hasn’t been proven. It’s just an allegation.
(I’m sure you saw my comments regarding “potential” character flaws, right? Not saying they’re so; but there ARE some potential problems.)
However, there are people on this board who have flat-out said they don’t care if they are true. There are some who have said even if they saw pictures of Cain with a goat, they’d still vote for him.
THAT’s who I’m talking about. I’m talking about people who are putting Cain on the same level as Clinton, et al, saying that if their guy can do it, why can’t ours? Saying, “Hey! Where’s the same level of scrutiny of Obama?”
Right. I get it. Obama wasn’t vetted. And he’s not going to be. But to get to the point where we start glossing over ethical and moral problems because he’s OUR guy doesn’t serve the “conservative” viewpoint very well, now does it?
Really, think about it...if that’s really what’s happening, it doesn’t represent very well, does it?
Leave out the truth of the allegations. Let’s even agree to assume they’re false and simply a smear.
Does it really fit our “conservative” principles to have people say that even if it’s true, we’ll support him? That even if we saw pictures of him with a goat, we’ll support him? That it doesn’t matter what a man does in his personal life...no matter what, we’ll support him? Because he’s OUR guy?
And as far as the “Perrybots” (your cute little respectful term for those who support a candidate not your own), hopefully none of the real Perry supporters would say that if the allegations were true, no matter what, even if we had pics of him with a goat...we’d support him.
I’d never say that and none of he Perry supporters I respect would say that.
And I guess that is exactly my point.
