We got these SOBs on the run. They are going to rue the day the opened this can of worms on Cain. There will be justice. And there will be hell to pay. I know how the game works. Believe me this, they picked the WRONG GUY and WRONG SUPPORTERS to ambush on this one.

I won’t vote for Cain. NO conservative would have ever voted for Clinton/Gore and NO “republican” would have donated money to two Nebraska liberals. NO WAY would I give one dime to Cain.

The only thing that will end this for the Cain campaign is for all the facts to be on the table and all the accusers to have free rein to speak.

"Free rein"? LOL! Who do you think is being protected by those confidentiality agreements? If they go public they may never be employed again! Would you hire them?

That’s beside the point. If Cain says publically “They all have freedom to speak as far as I’m concerned”, then the onus is off of Cain.

Any not speaking is then on them and it makes Cain look very above board.

In a couple of days, “embattled” will precede Cain’s name.

You said it, brother. Disagreeing with a candidate is one thing; joining the media in character assassination is something I’d expect from a Democrat.

Rick Perry has joined Mitt Romney on my “do not vote” list because I’m absolutely disgusted with the way his supporters have acted.

The history revisionists have even accused George Washington of cheating on his wife.

"I won’t vote for Cain. NO conservative would have ever voted for Clinton/Gore and NO “republican” would have donated money to two Nebraska liberals. NO WAY would I give one dime to Cain."

Well I WILL vote for Herman Cain!!! I have stated before that I don't care about a candidates baggage at this point. I only care about who can lead and undo Obama's mess,our tax mess, and the avalanche of regulations on business and entrepenuers. In future elections, and when our nation is on more stable footing, I will consider candidates baggage, but not now. The stakes for our country are much higher than any drivel over he/said, she/said gossip and inuendo. I don't even care if he is guilty. There is not a candidate running now that is pure as snow. Everyone makes mistakes. Every candidate that has ever run for office has made mistakes. Human nature is what it is. I am just saying that now is not the time to play these games.

You are right...every candidate has baggage but NOT one conservative I have ever known has been backed by rainbow push coalition...you do know what rainbow push stands for? and I dont know of any conservative that would have voted for Clinton/GORE...EVER! I do not like the 9 per cent national sales tax and 9% income tax...it will hurt people on fixed incomes. I like Newts plan better. IF Cain wins the nomination..I will do a write in..NO CAIN..he is the rino

One problem: Cain is not a party to the settlements.

Cain joined the gop in 1996...even AFTER he became a republican he still donated to two liberal democrats...even after joining the GOP Cain contributed to two Nebraska Democrats.
•1996: Nebraska Governor Ben Nelson’s first U.S. Senate campaign, $500. (Nelson was running against Republican Chuck Hagel, who defeated Nelson).
•1998: Congressional hopeful Michael Scott, $500. (Scott lost to Republican Lee Terry, following admissions by Scott that he had used illegal drugs including marijuana and cocaine).
Cain is a rino....GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, because Newt has certainly never been affiliated with any liberal...

I can dig up the fact that Reagan was a Democrat and in about the same time frame as we are looking at here for Cain to go from at worst an independent (you did look at his WHOLE donation history) to become a conservative front runner. And the Rainbow push thing? Please, you think they would back him now?

And there is more than a photo here, you did read the paragraph...
