Sorry, the liberal media did not destroy Cain. He destroyed himself. He never should have entered the race knowing what was in his closet. He is the conservative version of John Edwards. The charges are “unproved”? Come on, I expect that kind of language from Hillary Clinton (”There is no proof I did anything wrong”), not an innocent Republican.
I liked Cain and was very close to sending him money. Now I’m mad that he took oxygen away from the other Republican candidates. He gave conservatives a black eye and the libs a hammer to beat us with (”they all do it, we are just like them”).
Thomas was innocent and did not quit. He’s on the Supreme Court. Palin did not quit because of the press. She quit because of the stupid ethics law in Alaska. Bachmann self-destructed with her numerous flubs and turned nasty on the other conservatives. She did it to herself.
I really don’t expect hero worship from conservatives. We should look at candidates objectively and take the best. Cain was not well prepared to run, as became more apparent as time went on. His admitted relationship with this disturbed women was bound to come out. So glad it came out now and not after he got the nomination.
Lesson 1. No proof or evidence is any longer required. All that matters is that the accusations have have been made
Now that the political establishment media scumbags on both sides have decide “Accusation equals proof” these same tactics of political lynching will be used against EVERY GOP candidate for Senate and House in 2012.
So enjoy your Pyrrhic victory today morons. These same sleazy tactics you were so quick to embrace and pimp will now be used against your candidates.
So what WAS the evidence that Cain was guilty? NOTHING.
Sometimes Republicans are their own worst enemies.
Cain quit because he knew it was hurting the Republican campaign, as well as the fact he couldn’t get his message out any more.
