Here's Hoping Herman Cain Will Stay In the Race

In the 15th Century, “Lady Justice” was introduced wearing a blindfold. Her sightlessness was meant to represent objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out without fear or favor, regardless of identity, money, power or weakness. Blind justice and impartiality should be the goal.

Suddenly, while Mr. Cain is soaring at the top of the polls, proposing to scrap our three million word tax code for a simpler, fairer, pro-growth 9-9-9 plan (getting rid of the tax code would arguably be the largest transfer of power from the government to the people since the U.S. Constitution was ratified. No wonder the establishment resists such an agent of change) he is besieged by the media, suffering “death of a thousand cuts,” as described by Cain Senior Adviser, Niger Innis.

For six unrelenting weeks, Mr. Cain has been the target of attacks on his character. His accusers have yet to prove anything, yet the man has been judged guilty in the court of public opinion without even a semblance of a fair trial.

We the people must demand a more just political process. If someone is going to talk about another person’s character, they must have irrefutable proof and not just their word. The people should demand this and so should the media. A political campaign should address the many troubling issues facing the nation and not have to waste its resources defending meaningless allegations.

We must demand that the media reports on the issues, and let us see the platforms of the candidates. In the face of these attacks, on Mr. Cain and other presidential hopefuls, I’m inclined to find that Tabloid Justice is indeed blind, but far from objective.

[NautiNurse]

I hope Mr. Cain will stay in the race through the GOP primaries. Let the voters decide who our candidate will be, rather than the liberal MSM.

[Segovia]

this whole chain of events is unfortunate, for Herman Cain, and for the GOP; but if FOX news doesn’t get rid of that fat pasty faced pompous ass Rove, I’m gonna have to throw another TV onto the pile out back!! The GOP (and FNC) need to get rid of pukes like him, not people like Cain.

[GoCards]

Agree. Just finished watching that Rove and he disgusts me more and more everyday. PIG

[org.whodat]

I keep thinking, does he and hannity have something going on with Barney .

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.

This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.

[montag813]

Here's another good piece on why he should stay in the race...from a woman who hasn't backed Cain, but does not want the Left to gain another GOP scalp...

Please Mr. Cain, Don't Stop This Train

[digger48]

Quite frankly, I don’t care if Cain was boinking these women right up til last Tuesday. (though I don’t believe a single one of them).

I’m just sick to my stomach about the media taking down another Conservative with lies, distortions and double standards.

Somebody has to fight back against this crap!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Stand with Obama/Axelrod attack machine or stand with Herman Cain. There is no middle ground. It is going to get hot. I hope each person here on FR makes the principled choice between these two.

[CAluvdubya]

I saw him, too......what a puke!

I wish Rove would be the one to "drop out". I could live without ever seeing or hearing from him again!

[Savage Beast]

Yes, it will be disheartening if a True American Hero--a man who has prevailed over poverty, cancer, the corporate world, and RACISM--who embodies The American Dream--who has succeeded magnificently and offers to show all people everywhere how they can do it too--who has so much that is good to give to America and all the people of the world--is successfully "lynched" by Democrat politicians using the oldest trick in their sordid armamentum of ancient RACIST ploys: accusations of sexual improprieties by an uppity Black man toward a White woman!

[bigdirty]

I’ll say it again: The MSM and liberals might be behind this, but when you seeing the RINOs like Rove gleefully squeeling for Cain to drop out, you know the fix is in and they’re working together in some capacity.

[mkjessup]

A good article and thanks for posting.

The phrase "rush to judgment" was never more appropriate than when witnessing the recent comments by allegedly intelligent conservatives right here on this forum, concluding that Herman Cain must be guilty of something, never mind that the veracity and trustworthiness of the so-called 'victims' were on a level reserved for used car salesmen and Nigerian scam email writers.

When (and it is only a question of 'when', not if) the actual paymasters and puppeteers behind those lying whores are revealed, we will see the raw obscenity of what the 'Rats and their leftist enablers have created out of what at one time, was honest political discourse.

Meanwhile, we all continue to pray for Herman Cain and his family. They did not deserve this. And I am certain that Herman Cain has been praying for direction in this matter, and he will make his decision based on what the Almighty guides him to do. If he chooses to continue his campaign, I will stand behind him 100 percent, if he should choose to withdraw, I will respect and honor that, and so should everyone else.

It DOES mean that among the remaining candidates, it needs to be understood without equivocation:

Mitt Romney = UNACCEPTABLE.

That is the bottom line.

[DeaconRed]

I have re-thunk my decision to quit supporting him.
I am reversing myself and will support him now.
There are several reasons. here are just a few:
1. Romney.
2. Doodie Newtie.
3. OK lets say all the bimbos were telling the truth. I don't remember any RAPE charge. The one who said he put his hands on her legs, said stop and guess what? He stopped.
4. Is he perfect? NO We only had one perfect man and he got nailed to a tree.

that article is excellent.

I'm sorry, NN, but Herman Cain has admitted he never told his wife about the money he gave to Ms. Rice. A man who can keep something like that from his wife is a man who can keep all kinds of stuff from GOP voters. He no longer has the benefit of a doubt to me. And I defended him from the attacks with unfounded allegations. But this is his own admission here.

[reefdiver]

does any one know what time we get the news?

[C. Edmund Wright]

>>> I keep thinking, does he and hannity have something going on with Barney . >>>

I will require six months of therapy to get over the trauma of the visual image that post caused!!!!!

[MestaMachine]

If he doesn’t stay in, we are back in mccainland. I can NOT support either gingrich or romney. I just can’t.

[Lady Lucky]

Cain (and his surrounding good people) mishandled the fiasco from the start. Submitting to interviews that were usually more than fifty percent discussions of sex charges — his denyin’-denyin’-denyin’ plan — was a huge mistake. Gave the sharks a new bloody limb every few days.
He should have refused outright to talk about it, and said his lawyers would aggressively pursue the accusers in civil court. End of story.
Don’t feed the animals.
