Oh, don’t be so bitter. I defended Cain originally from these charges and they were rather trivial, at least until that last woman. Cain was forced to admit he gave her money for a long period of time without the knowledge of his sweet little wife.
His main claim to fame was that he was a truly good Christian man and a conservative. When that perception got big cracks in it, he more or less had to get out.
I haven’t ‘thrown in’ with the women. Some of them seemed trashy and one or two seemed normal. But those women didn’t take Cain down, his own behavior took him down and you might as well admit it and get over it.
I feel good about supporting Rick Perry and it has nothing to do with Cain, except that I do hold Cain reponsible for the early false insinuations he made about Perry... one, that he was a racist based on that stupid rock story and two, that he was somehow responsible for the women.
I’m very disappointed that Perry is not getting the support he deserves but if you knew anything about him at all, you would know that he is extremely conservative both fiscally and socially. No one running is more conservative.
If I were you, I would not gloat that Perry is polling poorly as he is our best chance to beat Obama and have a good conservative president.
Stating an obvious fact is not gloating. Perry is not only polling poorly, he is performing poorly when votes are actually cast.
He wounded himself further when he announced in Iowa that he was heading back to Texas to assess his candidacy, only to go on to South Carolina the next day.
