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.

Hah! Yes, I was on the thread with the ‘even if it was a goat’ comment. I think the poster meant it.

Hilarious.

I wish I could get a group of people as loyal to me as Cain supporters are to their candidate.

I could probably be elected president of the PTA.

True, and I'm sure Herman will have an explanation. After all, he has before.
