That is a pic of my 19 year old Kitty, 2 days before she died, with me, at home. That is how I feel right now. Same month too. I knew she was dying, which is why I was home. That is how I feel about our country. Devastated.

Herman Cain, the insurgent populist whose candidacy has been ensnared by allegations of sexual impropriety, said Saturday that he is leaving the race for the Republican presidential nomination, saying that the allegations have cast a "cloud of doubt over me and this campaign."
"As of today, with a lot of prayer and soul searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign," he said at an event in Atlanta. "I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distraction, the continued hurt . . . on me, on my family, not because we are not fighters, not because I am not a fighter."
Cain's campaign had sent mixed signals as to his future since Ginger White, an Atlanta woman who claims to have had an affair with Cain for more than a decade, went public with her story earlier this week. While Cain has said he has been "reassessing" his candidacy, he also, at times, has been fiercely defiant, suggesting that unnamed enemies have been trying to do him in and vowing to press forward.
"The pundits would like for me to shut up, drop out and go away," he said. "I am not going to be silenced, and I am not going away."

Michelle vs. Obama would bring any number of issues into the spotlight.

Replace Obama with what, a live long politician with a hell of a allot of political weight that can be used by RINOs to get what they want through Congress and have him sign it or better yet a loser Northeastern Republican, who is interested in working with Democrats, hell we could reelect Obama and get all of the above.
Remember Dole, Bush I and II as well as McCain were all willing to do the same and Conservatives got nothing in return other than to be treated like a street walker at midnight.
Gingrich is a RINO, as evidenced by his recent statements on abortion.
That should have been lifelong——just a little upset right now!
Can a person who doesn't actually exist commit a crime?
BTW, you are one of my favorite Freepers. I understand your frustration. : (
Let’s face it. Pubbies need to be better crooks than the Dims in order to be elected by the mind-numbed masses.
Funny the same could be said of Newt and Cain, if he did give this whore money as he has admitted to, then it was his money to give and not the taxpayers. Now can Newt and all the others who have had affairs, while in public office say the same and since we are setting standards, where is the media and the establishments with their blue dresses, used condoms and big headed babies as in the case of Bill KKKlinton, Jesse Jackson and John Edwards?
I’m so disappointed.
Just so disappointed.
For him to admit he was giving this woman money and his wife didn’t know about it, well, it really does stink.
Now, I’m NOT condoning infidelity, but frankly at this point, I don’t even give a crap. I want someone who can fix some of the mess this economy is in.
Mrs. Cain will take care of him if he has done wrong.
Never give up, never surrender. The Presidency is lost to RINOs or Zer0, but we can still turn the tide of Congress.
Fine by me if they go after Newt. He’s a bigger weasel than Cain by far. As you say, it’s all on Cain’s dime. But as I said about Giuliani AND Gingrich—if their own wives, who they knew well and swore before God to love and honor, can’t trust them, WHY SHOULD WE? They don’t even KNOW us!
Yeah. Me too.
Well thank you very much and Freerepublic has always been my home, but never the less after the last 4 Republican Nominees, I am sick and tried of holding my nose and voting for this NWO/Big Government RINO’s and as a hardcore Conservative, I am tired of being treated like a streetwalker at 2 am in the morning, when these clowns come looking for services.
I am no longer voting for some RINO/Party Establishment type because that is the best that can get through and his been picked by the media.
Cain should have stayed in the race if he was innocent.
The fact that he quit suggests one of two things, both not good.
Either he was guilty as charged or he doesn't have the fight in him.

Only if we smoke out all the RINO’s like McCain Graham and others, they will simply side with the Democrats again and give the lame duck Obama everything he wants.
He finally saw the writing on the wall. That takes care of me.In the general,I will write in Sarah Palin and get ready for four more years of obama.
