Sarah had something in her past that kept her from running.

I'm very sorry if that was the case but its also why I'm frustrated that a man I supported, Herman Cain, assumed that he could keep up some kind of extra-martial 'relationship' and not be exposed.

I'm just ticked off that it's so easy for the DNC and the leftmedia to destroy any conservative with these sex scandals. I don't support Newt Gingrich but fully expect the mud to start flying at him by next week, at the latest.

This is really just not accurate. What destroys conservatives with sex scandals is Republican voters who won't tolerate them. It is why Democrats can more easily get away with this stuff. Democratic voters are less family values oriented and less traditional, therefore they care far less about these kinds of things. Republicans are far more vulnerable to sex scandals and the resulting hypocrisy charge precisely because of the core voters they appeal to.

The media didn't destroy Cain, Cain destroyed himself. If none of these accusations were true, he would not have dropped out. Period. His problem was he couldn't adequately defend himself against these charges which means there was likely something to them. There is just no way around it.
