I am waiting for the Herman-Cain-causes-cancer story. I am aware that the smears against him have commenced.

Attack machine started with Palin, moved to Bachmann, then to Perry, now to Cain. The others aren’t high enough in the polls to warrant concern by the commies, except Romney who strangely has a pass.

If Herman has skeletons, he needs to get them out and out of the way early; otherwise he’ll end up in the toaster.

What a boring little boy you are. I will know from now on not to try to have an intelligent conversation with you, because, it appears, you are incapable of it.

You talking about anyone’s logic is also funny.

The game of the R Establishment and the MSM has been to knock out Perry by smearing him and taking his poll numbers down - just as they did with Palin - because they know he would beat Obamalini and would be dangerous to them as President. To take his poll numbers down over the last few weeks they have given Cain the “kid gloves” treatment and more exposure. Now that Cain is up, who would also be bad for the MSM and the R Establishment if he were elected, they are going to start giving him the Palin/Perry treatment and continue until he is radioactive. Then, voila, the candidate that the R Establishment wants, and the MSM wants Obamalini to run against, walks off with the nomination.

Yes, Mittens is likely to be the “McCain” of 2012, and we will have done it to ourselves by allowing ourselves to be influenced by the press and “commentators” with an agenda.

Excuse me,

I really think the Cain supporters should take a step back and look at the “coincidental” connections Cain has with questionable (unethical/immoral/ disingenuous).

You all are so quick to attack Perry because he was a Dum in 1988. Or stood with a bunch of low level Dums as “supporter” of Gore in 88. (no one knew Gore was crazy as loon back then) But hey Perry should have been clairvoyant.

And then you all keep trotting out strawmen to try to prop up your cain support.

The fact is that Cain has a long history of being involved in activities that in the end destroy peoples lives.

what makes you think he will do anything different to the American People?

So now “Mother Jones” is an acceptable source? Or only when it’s attacking Cain?

The mere fact that this was posted and people buy it is troubling. And we wonder why Conservatives don’t win...

Herman Cain was dropped as a defendant in that case. I bet you knew that already though, did you not?

Be careful. Don't get so caught up in typing a post that you miss out on one of the really good chants by your OWS buddies.

“Notice no serious news agency will publish this crap.”

Please name some “serious” news agencies. The only ones I can think of can be counted on the fingers of one hand. We must always remember that Slick Willie mostly invented the instant response to negative stories. It is a tactic that is designed to prevent them from sticking by getting in the last word. GOP candidates and their surrogates would be wise to learn that.

CC, you might want to try reading the document your link to before posting anymore smear attacks about Cain.

As your own documentation cites, Cain was dropped as a defendant from that case by the plaintiffs.

Yes, and surrogates for GOP establishment candidates, like yourself, would be wise to investigate a story before jumping in to help spread the smear based on nothing but your feelings about the candidate. Post 10 this thread. Court documentation not a blog posting on a Leftist website like your source.

And he doesn’t close cover before striking.
And he squeezes his toothpaste from the cap end.
And he lathers and rinses, but doesn’t repeat.
And he once went in the pool right after lunch.
And he doesn’t realize that objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
And he doesn’t walk slowly with power tools.
And he leaves the toilet set up.
And he doesn’t pick up his room.
...

I’ve already posted them but since guilt by association is the standard by which Cain supporters live. You will be held to the same standard. Not to mention Cains mimicing of Key Lay in front of the Godfathers franchisees.

Energy trading used to be dominated by subsidiaries of energy companies and utilities such as Enron, Aquila Inc., Cinergy Corp., Mirant Corp. and Dynegy Inc. However, after Enron collapsed in 2001, many of these other companies shut down their energy-trading units. That left a vacuum that is now being filled by hedge funds, Fusaro explained.

A man is known by his actions and associations isn’t THAT the CAIN standard?
