Lighten up cupcake, if there’s one thing I’m fairly certain of it’s Cain’s honesty. I wouldn’t say he’s been “bought out”, I’d rather say the Koch brothers agree with his principles and goals enough to help fund his campaign. I see nothing wrong with that. Of course if hate the Koch brothers because you’re a left wing zealot then you might.

You have come to the wrong conclusion. Please do not misinterpret what I was trying to say. Time and again, Freepers have accused Perry of being dishonest and a crony capitalist because he has all this money and many of them were trying to show that Cain was more pure because he had no money.

Well, that may sound good but it isn't going to win many elections. Anyone who hopes to win an election needs money. I do not think Cain is corrupt nor do I think Perry is corrupt.

Far too many believe that if a candidate accepts money from someone or a group it acts like a bribe and that is not necessarily the case. In more cases individuals, or groups give to candidates who are like minded.

I am thrilled we have the Koch Bros. on our side.
