This is because FR is an INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE (not a Republican-Firster) site.

And fools as well as RINOS--actually one in the same--are not suffered very well here.

That's the way it is.

That's the way it will always be.

Really?

Apparently Conservative doesn’t apply anymore. See link:
conservative is someone who adheres to principles of personal responsibility, moral values, and limited government, agreeing with George Washington’s Farewell Address that “religion and morality are indispensable supports” to political prosperity.[1][2]

Former President Ronald Reagan said, “The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom.”[3]
Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, is the epitome of American conservatism.

The sine qua non of a conservative is someone who rises above his personal self-interest and promotes moral and economic values beneficial to all. Alternatively, a conservative is willing to learn and advocate the insights of economics and the morality of the Bible for the benefit of all, recognizing that the Bible is the most logical book ever written. Specifically, conservatives seek or support:

* Limited government and balanced budgets
* Capitalism and free markets
* Classroom prayer
* Prohibition of abortion and respect for human life
* Abstinence education
* Traditional marriage, not same-sex marriage
* Respect for differences between men and women, boys and girls
* Laws against pornography
* The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms
* Economic allocative efficiency (as opposed to popular equity)
* The death penalty
* Parental control of education (parental rights)
* Private medical care and retirement plans
* Canceling failed social support programs
* No world government
* Enforcement of current laws regarding immigration
* Respect for our military ... past and present
* Rejection of junk science such as evolution and global warming
* Minimal Taxation
* Federalism (Separation of powers among the National, State and Local governments)
* Favoring states’ rights over federal power, while accepting the Constitutional role of the federal government
* A strong national defense
* An Originalist interpretation of the Constitution

You nailed it, show me proof or STHU! It is so obvious that they are attacking Mr Cain with everything they have because they want him gone. To not see this, you have to be an idiot or complicit. They fear Mr Cain, as well they should. This is the Chicago Way, look it up. The only question is if we conservatives fold. Cain is the ONLY person who can stop Obama and that is why the Secret Service is protecting him as we speak. If the anti conservatives on this site were real conservatives and believed these stories about Mr Cain, they would wait for proof but they are not and will not. They should move back to the Chicago sewer where they came from.
