I could reluctantly vote for Gingrich, but I also agree that I don’t think he has a snowball’s chance of winning the general election. This is the way the stupid party works.....they always make sure the “it’s my turn next” guy always gets his “turn”.

As I’ve stated in the past, the ballot box has become and absolutely worthless lost cause.

Better for whom?

I am seeing that it really riles you Cain Train passengers when reasonable people embrace a reasonable and obvious conclusion from indisputable facts put forth by Mr. Cain himself.

Very strange, cult-like behavior. You’d never give Obama the same benefit of the doubt. Would you? But Cain? Why, the man can do no wrong!

Very strange.

It’s pretty clear you’re out of ammunition when the best you can do is to make fun of a screen nick.

It’s pretty clear you wouldn’t be as purposely obnoxious as you are if we were all in person discussing this. I guarantee it with how childish you are in obsessively ridiculing people randomly.

The only reason I would vote for Paul is that... I am a friggin' nutcase.

It’s Politico that started this whole process weeks ago. They’ve successfully brought Cain down. And it’s Politico who’s laughing tonight — at all of us.

You're right. We have no idea if Herman Cain is dropping out.

But during the phase when FR members were talking about the payments to the two women by the National Restaurant Assocation, this attorney was watching hundreds of FR posters write things like "my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who said that anytime a payment is called severance it proves there wasn't really any harassment!"

And i just face-palmed, as you're doing now.

Good Lord, he never claimed to be a prophet. Somebody drank too much Gotcha Juice apparently.

Politico’s unnamed sources have said a lot of things about Mr. Cain. Thus far they’ve proven to be wildly biased and inaccurate.

Politico never meant to prove anything, only to bring down Cain. Mission accomplished.

Hey listen up:

Herman Cain did not have a 13 year sex-romp with that lesbian, with the neck.

What’s random about responding to other posters in an opinion forum? That seems rather targeted to me.

And if we’re going to discuss “childish” — what could be more childish than your poking fun at a screen name instead of responding with a substantive argument?

Incidentally, *both* of your last two posts are completely devoid of any real content or any real argument to advance your position. I guess you define “obnoxious” as “doesn’t agree with my views”.

Do you realize that words have meaning? Or do you just string them together willy-nilly? I can point you to some good dictionary websites if you’d like. I think they might help you.

>> Good Lord, he never claimed to be a prophet.

“Considering that is my sentiment as well, it’s reasonable to conclude a lot of folks are feeling the exact same thing... Sounds prophetic...

There’s a slow burn in me too. I don’t know who is behind this smear against Herman Cain but I hope it turns back on them. I hope they suffer all the pain they wanted to put on Mr. Cain plus 7 x 7!

I hope Mr. Cain stays in it because I want to vote for him now, after they’ve done this to him, more then I’ve ever wanted to vote for any one.

If Cain is guilty, then so be it.

But man, you gotta get your facts straight if you’re gonna lynch someone:

Ginger White says the money was only for the last 2.5 years.

Now I realize that even a couple months worth of giving money to “another woman” is enough to hang Cain in many people’s eyes. But let’s not be guilty of doing what the media does. If it was 2.5 years, then it was 2.5 years, not 13 years. Let’s get our facts right.
