After reports surfaced Tuesday morning that pizza magnate Herman Cain is reassessing his 2012 Republican presidential nomination bid, POLITICO obtained a statement from a Cain campaign spokesman regarding his candidates’ consideration of dropping out of the race.
“Yes,” the campaign spokesman said Tuesday when asked whether Cain would “definitely” remain in the race.
The clarification comes after the National Review Online released statements that Cain made in a conference call with campaign aides Tuesday morning. During the call, Cain made the following statements, “We have to do an assessment as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people’s minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth,” Cain said.

Well actually the dictionary definition of a cult is any system of belief, so technically yeah a religion is a cult and a cult a religion. And just because you turn the term “cult” into a pejorative to equate Mormonism with Jim Jones or Heaven’s Gate or some other such groups doesn’t make them anything alike.
You’re basing your understanding of the Mormon faith on what some agendized individual has told you to think about it. I’ve been on both sides of this argument and found the side you argue for uses claims that simply are counter-factual, non-historical, using out of context quotes, reliant on logical fallacies such as red herrings or straw man arguments, etc. I once used them myself until I bothered to look at the facts for myself. Indeed, most of the arguments that come from Mormon bashers rely on the same tactics Michael Moore uses in his movies to bash capitalism, the US healthcare system, the war on terror, etc. I’ve seen the exact same intellectual dishonesty and sleight of hand arguments out of both, I really have.
Anyway, worship as you please and allow others the same luxury without trashing what’s sacred to them. America is more mature than this. Our forebearers left other lands to come here to escape this kind of religious bigotry. We’re really going to revert to the 1600s and re-start that garbage all over again? Come on. It’s the 21st century. We’re a better country than this. And I think you’re a better person than that.
Go Herman!
He is (sorry to sound like Meghan McCain), "like" threat number ONE, you know, like. Pure and simple.
Thanks indeed for your post, friend. Excellent insight.
Oh please. Where's the DNC coordinated, state-run media attack campaign against him?
Right. There isn't one, because he's a ruling class establishment insider. He's a perfectly acceptable replacement for Zero, as far as they're concerned.
God Bless You, Newt Gingrich-supporter. It is appreciated.
Yes. It is “ripping me up inside” as well.
Seeing how evil the left is towards Mr. Cain is a real eye-opener and very discouraging to ANYONE who is not part of the political machine.
My prayers for Mr. Cain and his family during this fiery trial.
This is insane!!!
Bless you, Jackie. We're in the same boat, but we'll find a way to squeeze out a few bucks to help Herman where we can.
It was no accident that the new allegation came out as he was due to release his new video.
Amen (and to hell with the GOP-E).
When Gloria Cain was interviewed by Greta, she mentioned a woman who had been a friend of Herman for years which she was well aware of, and that there was nothing more than friendship. I wonder if this is the woman she was referring to. It sounds like it.
How does a man with colon cancer have a sexual relationship with anyone, including his own wife, while going through the therapy he had to go through? I don’t believe this.
7:20 PM is the "wee hours"?
DING! That's my thought exactly. Whoever it is on the Democrat side that's orchestrating all these accusations is sending a message that Cain has wandered too far off the Democrat plantation (slavery infernece intended!) and that any other black candidates or conservatives that choose to follow in his footsteps will suffer the same fate.
If Cain stays in the race, I say good on him. Admire his tenacity and courage.
Just to get you started, perhaps, here's a quote you really should check into, then check out of LDS inc:
"We may talk of men being redeemed by the efficacy of his [Christ's] blood; but the truth is that that blood has no efficacy to wash away our sins. That must depend upon our own action." [ LDS Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 299, 1859]
Given this mormonic teaching that is the very essence of Antichrist, it is still amazing how much LDS inc apologists want folks to believe LDS inc is Christianity restored! MormonISM is the very essence of slick anti-Christ inveigling, and the promoters of this anti-Christian religion will continue to be exposed and opposed so long as Christians are not squelched by the political correctness approach inherent in the lie that exposing mormonISM is hate or hatred of the people trapped in this demonic cult.
I've noted for you the particular number and date for the Journal entry, so you might want to go to that and read the context of the quote. It will raise the hair on the back of the neck of any born again Christian. With Mormons, not so much.
According to several stories, there were calls/texts at 2AM, 4AM..<p.
but here’s the key question..if we’re asked to believe it’s as Cain says..there’s nothing there..he just wants to help her out...well..there is NO WAY that a presidential candidate..who is on an incredibly tight schedule, IMMEDIATELY returns a call/text from a casual acquiantance..it ain’t gonna happen
Well, now that you bring him up, at this point it’s either Cain or I write in Mickey Mouse................................................................................ Forgive me Jim but those are your words, Have you really gone over the edge and lost it????
Your formatting made that post unreadable.
Try again.
We are one month into all this, and still not one single shred of evidence -- hotel manifest, restaurant receipt, Hallmark card -- has been produced to prove Cain had any affair with anybody. An entire month and not a single sliver of evidence. That does not strike you as odd?
