OK DUmmies, all together now....."RACIST REPUBLICANS".

You know what they're going to say, just thought I'd be first.

I'm not surprised this happened. Earlier in the week when the 'reassess' situation happened, I knew it was over. The way that information was worded made me doubt his strength. Attempting to claim he never considered dropping out and the word 'reassess' was misconstrued was ridiculous and a seriously bad choice by his PR people.

He was my top choice. Now I'm not sure who I will support.

I liked the fact that he wasn't a life time politician.

Yep we are racists, if we support him, if we don't support him, or if the sun comes up in the morning.  :mental:

Like I said before, I don't care who the nominee is (except for Ron Paul) even if it's a RINO, I'll hold my damn nose to vote, but it's The Supreme Court people, Kennedy is planning on retiring after the next Presidential election, he's a swing vote but he usually swings our way, and do we want Obama choosing who the next Justice is going to be?

That is why I won't rule out the GOP doing this to him.  Neither establishment party wants an unknown non-politician elected president.

My hard earned $25 down the drain!
"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

...and Cain would still be in the running if he had just paid $25 for "it".

I have to disagree.  It was Mr. Cain's actions which led to this by either putting himself in questionable positions or by lacking the will to stand and fight.  Tell me which of those characteristics do you prefer in an American President?  Conservatives can't just preach personal responsibility, they must live it and lead by example.

I agree.  Just disappointed that Cain is guilty of either.

The thing that simply baffles me to no end, is this idea or this supposition that these people -- Cain included -- actually think they can hide or explain away the demons in their closets.

No freakin' way these days. FDR got away with the spin and the games that hid his polio, but those days are long over.

Slick Willie thought he could hide the BJ's in the Oval Orifice. Weiner's phone pics. Gingrich's own infidelities and the rest of the list is endless. The media will not stop these days until they have something, then they'll spin it into whatever they want.

What is with these people? Don't they understand that their characters WILL BE assassinated by someone, somewhere, who will turn over every stone, look in every closet, until those demons are released?

The problem I have with Cain is quite simple -- HIS JUDGMENT. These things cannot be hidden these days.

You want to have sex with someone other than your wife? Fine. Then don't run for political office.

The bad part is that for conservatives, they have to be near sainthood to not get reamed by the media these days.
