If Cain is out, I am writing in Palin.
The rest don’t even deserve to be in the same paragraph as the word conservative.

Anyone who doesn’t like my opinion, you can’t change my my, so don’t bother trying.

I know how you feel... The biggest detractors are the Perry cheerleaders infecting every thread, no matter who the candidate. I despise that candidate so much now for all of the trash(talk) and hypocrisy they throw into almost any and every non-perry thread.

At least the romney-bots are leashed and purged when needed.. the paul-tards are much more tame...

Well, sorry for the rant.. (this has been building up for a couple of months).. :/

A generous person means sitting down with your wife and saying....This woman needs some help....What do you think...

This guy has a history....period...

And remember, he couldn't even win an election in his home state.

Palin folks jumped over to Cain...just because

And the National Restaurant Association is nothing more than a biggy lobby group.

" He is guilty of hiding something from his wife that she should have known about. "

Ah ? actually ? we want to hear it right from Gloria Cain herself..... maybe she did, maybe she didn't....

Congrats on the kids, I’m envious. Glad to know you’ll vote and I have the same fears, but I don’t worry about a RINO in the WH. For the vast majority of time they’ve been Dems or RINOs.

I just know we have to get rid of Obama. Toward that end we should work hard to elect the most conservative candidate we can during the primaries and I’d vote for Romney v. Obama any day. FReepers who pretend there’s no difference are foolish.

That said, the real check on power is a strong, knowledgeable base like us coupled with control of the House and Senate. We didn’t get here in one fell swoop. This is the culmination of generations of bad policy and I don’t expect to get out of it in one move.

Use gun control or abortion as our model - slow, steady, factual change. We need to recapture education from the Left. We’re making a dent in the media, big time. The word is getting out and there’s no conservative like an ex-liberal. They know all the lies and all the moves and won’t tolerate it.

According to what I read, Cain admitted his wife didn’t know about this woman.

>>What kind of an arrogant, “honorable” Husband gives “family income” away to strangers (even for good intentions) and DOESN’T TELL HIS WIFE ?

I do, and I probably don’t make 1/10th of Herman Cain’s salary. Did Cain’s family do without anything because of his generosity? She may even have a career and money of her own. Quite a few two-income families keep personal finances separate and then maintain a “family” account for paying bills.

Cain is the victim of an attack dog media who will use every little piece of history they can dig up, to destroy anyone that could derail America’s rush to Marxism. He’s also the victim of the American People, who think everything is a reality show and when a person is portrayed as a villain on TV, we boo them without any thought.

The only mistake Cain made was to think he could get between the US and it’s inevitable socialist/communist/third-world fate.

If he waits till 2012, he can get federal matching funds. Not sure what kind of shape his campaign is in, but there was a period where I heard several of his ads a week on the radio here in Pgh, PA.

Wow, you really have your facts messed up pall.

You must have missed the NRA’s statement that supported Cain’s version of things.

There was a complaint (Kraushaar), it was investigated internally and found without merit and this woman was let go with an agreement and no where did they say it was a harrassment settlement agreement - but FReeprs like you ran with that meme. Cain was never even party to that agreement.

Apparently L. Lin Wood’s investigation has turned up more, because he is confirming it was a termination agreement, not “hush money”.

Second, and I hate to burst your bubble here too, there is no proof there even WAS a second agreement. The NRA did not confirm that. All we have on that is Politico had a 3rd party source on another woman but she (if she even exists) never came forward. So until we have confirmation on the NRA that there was a 2nd complaint, then I’m not buying it, sorry.

Because that is another case of: but so and so heard so and so made a complaint! And it sounds like you fell for that too.

Cain was not the company; he's not going to be a party to the agreement. That's how an internal sexual harassment claim works.

I wrote about how, as an attorney, I can call the settlement anything that the two attorneys agree to call it. If I'm the woman and I'm settling without going public, I don't care what it's called. If I'm leaving the company, I don't care if it's called severance or a termination without cause. That's only an issue with respect to unemployment benefits.

If I'm the company, of course I don't want to call the agreement a settlement of a sexual harassment claim - because then I can say in attorney weasel words that the company didn't pay to settle sexual harassment. My clients have settled many of claim of different kinds without calling them what they actually were. Haven't yours?

And do you really think the company is going to admit sexual harassment? Of course its internal investigations on paper showed no merit. That's why they paid a full year's salary (yeah, right; that's *always* done when there's no merit). If you have a paper trail where you *found* merit to sexual harassment claims, do you realize how much more money other claims that result in a lawsuit and go to discovery are worth?

Sounds like you fell for it and don't understand how the game is played. You ran with the meme.

Certainly, you make a reasoned argument, unlike the vast swathes of ad-hominem so casually tossed about in here.

My oldest son and I were going around on this. Are we voting for the lesser evil, or for the greater good?

Rhetorical, I know. Depends on your perspective. It’s hard not to get cynical, though.
