TWO questions for Freepers who continue to support Cain
one man's opinion..

Posted on 11/29/2011 4:30:04 PM PST by ken5050

The Cain threads have been passionate and spirited. Many supporters of Cain here, cheered by the statement from his campaign, that he is continuing in the race, have already sent him more $$$, or promised that they will do so shortly.

I have TWO questions for these people:


TOPICS: Politics

If you are going to let Gloria Alred and BIMBOS change your vote then you were never a serious supporter in the first place. Also if you are going to dump a canidate on his possible extra-marital affairs....then your other choices will be slim to none!

And what, if anything, does that have to do with someone making a serious accusation about another?

Yeah? I wonder how frustrated you’ll get as it becomes more and more evident that he won’t? It’ll be fun to see.

I am supporting no one right now. But this accusation needs to be dealt with quickly; up or down.

Is there a legitimate reason he was giving her money?
Was he just trying to help someone out?

I would like to hear Herman's wife's take on this. If he just was helping this person out; his wife would certainly be on board and know the situation.

We probably all know of innocent situations personally; that would appear very odd if someone on the outside was glancing in.
I would like to see more info before Mr Cain is thrown to the curb.

Cain is reassessing his support. When the first attack hit the media, he picked up additional contributions. I started watching the number of Cain Train supporters on his website this morning. As the day went on the number signing up accelerated. Later it was difficult to access the site.

I’m one who wants a conservative non-politician as President. I like the man’s background and his down to earth manner. I emailed his campaign yesterday expressing my support for Cain continuing.

I do not believe any of the other candidates can beat Obama. So why would I wait if my encouragement and donation encourages Cain to stay in the race, he beats Obama, and America is returned to greatness?

She mentioned it in passing while speaking on Greta’s program.

Well said.

I WANT to know if Cain is dishonest. However, I am not convinced. My first reaction to this news is that the first round of allegations didn’t get the job done, and so maybe if ‘they’ decided to make up a story (lie) that is more unforgivable than the first, it will show up in approval ratings. And maybe someone thought it would be funny if the newest victim was named Ginger White, just to throw in a subliminal message.

I am so distrustful of the media that I could be making excuses for Cain. But like I said, I want to know if it’s true because I care about having an honest president.

I just donated to Cain and plan to do so again. For me, it is all about principles. Of course, people might say what principles if they believe the attacks against him. On the other hand, I believe the MSM in this country is treasonous and has every intent on bringing down men and women of patriotism and character. It is a fact that they fall on their swords to conceal the truth about their allies and will lie, ignore and counter-attack with ferocity anyone that comes close to the cesspool of degeneracy and treason their side revels in. So, the on-again-off-again nature of the attacks, the sources, the lack of proof and unwillingness to offer sound evidence all dissuade me from accepting these charges as valid. Again, the matter comes back to character and principle and I believe that Herman is a man courageously willing to take on the evils in this nation. If he loses the nomination and continues to run, I will vote for him. If the mitten wins the pubbie vote and Herman bails, I will vote for anyone but BO and the mitten. If the nation falters and fails because BO or the mitten took office and run us off the cliff, I will have no regrets because I have decided (at this late age) that I will no longer vote pragmatically and will vote for principle and principle alone. At this time, the powers in the RNC do not care about my principles or those of the good Americans that have helped to draft their state and national platforms. You may call me a broken glass Hermanite.

Support whomever you want. Starting this smear really puts you in a bad light in my world. I will continue to support Herman Cain and you plantation owners can get bent.

What if he had no skeletons? As in what if these women are lying? How was he supposed to get ahead of that?!

I find it it somewhat interesting for this reason.

I listened to the audio versions of Reagan's diary.
One thing Reagan did, was occasionally send a personal check to some needy person. It was never publicized; Reagan was just being a kind soul trying help another person.

If Cain was doing something like this; more power to him. He certainly has done a poor job of explaining things if it is indeed innocent.

Thanksgiving dinner was an eye-opener.

I spoke with a Korea and Vietnam vet and officer, and his son, a veteran of both Iraq wars. Both devout evangelical Christians and solid men, one married for sixty years and the other for thirty.

They both were anxious about the election, and desperately wanted a conservative, but they reluctantly dismissed Herman Cain on these allegations. They had liked him before. They said, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

Now this — this new woman sounds like a strange bedfellow to have on speed dial.

Most of the conservative blogosphere has given up in frustration.

I’m moving on.

I read it, and this is the info we have been given during this 24 hr cycle. Is there something here you wish to draw my attention to? As I said, I haven’t seen hard evidence of anything against Cain, so I am still supporting him. But I will wait perhaps a bit longer before making the next donation.

You will have to translate the following into your own understanding, but one of the powers of sin is to get a perrson pushing constantly against a particular temptation. BY being tied to the temptation, the person is under the influence of the temptation even if not doing the sin. [Jimmy Carter hit this obliquely when he admitted he’d lusted after other women than Roselyn. Jimmy Swaggert is the end fall of this sort of ‘fighting temptation’. Jimmy finally succumb because it was he who was fighting the temptation, rather than turning the thing over to The Lord.]

Let’s not be deceived, the DNC and media serve the father of lies, a murderer from the start. Too many are aiding and abetting the character assassination, in the name of ‘concern troll’ don’tchaknow. Like the poster of this thread!

What I find so ironic in this entire affair is that we here on FR are commonly characterized by the left as some of the worst racists around.Yet, we can’t stop supporting a “black” candidate.Wonder if anyone on the left will pick that one up?

It is a smear when you have absolutely no knowledge of Herman Cain or his campaign yet keep this shit front and center.
