.."the last weekend before the Republican [primary] vote for U.S. Senate"
Well, at least the end is in sight. (Sigh of relief). I have always disliked people who wanted to grab and exercise power over others.
Certainly is typical of the type of person Isakson is to level last-minute attacks on Cain. You see, when you attack at the last minute, maybe people don't have time to find out the truth. Barbara Boxer, among others, is a master of that tactic.
It's also noteworthy that after all their research, a couple of bogus charges are the worst thing they could come up with about Herman Cain. Tells you he's a very solid individual with a clean past and hopefully a bright future in the US Senate.

No we just want our RINO's so get out of the way.
The most ridiculous argument against Herman Cain I've heard is that the status quo is wonderful and needs to be preserved by electing people with no vision and no backbone to push the bigger issues.
The worst argument is the one that points out the color of Mr. Cain's skin in order to dissuade white voters, applying it under the guise of affirmative action.
>Certainly is typical of the type of person Isakson is to level last-minute attacks on Cain. <
As versed to Collins and Cain who have spent 4 months and $4 million attacking Isackson with half truths and inuendo.Didn't your mother ever tell you people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
I was out and about my neighborhood of Alpharetta in the North Fulton suburbs(Isakson's district) this afternoon. The Cain signs outnumber the Isakson 10 to 1. Probably more than that. They were on every corner I passed. I also noticed a few on private lawns.
This is prime Isakson territory. I really think the Cain has a shot at it. Maybe not a win but he probably can force a runoff.
It is an idiomatic expression at this point, used for all kinds of socio-political power plays, from cricket (below)to the Richmond Football Club to Tony Blair's posish.
Night of the long knives 21/06/04 Soapbox This weekend the West Indies Cricket Board sacked Sir Viv Richards, their chairman of selectors. C365 examines the wisdom of this decision and the fall out for the beleaguered Caribbean outfit, on tour in the United Kingdom.
Isakson is being a total jerk and incredibly deceptive, but the Kerrey/Kerry thing is clever.
Excellent point about lack of ammo against Cain. Cain's career is an open book (in fact three books) and anyone who is interested in truth can easily research it. Unfortunately, most Cain haters aren't interested in any truth. Remember, it is easy to throw out an unsubstantiated accusation. The rebuttal always requires documentation.
I find it interesting the Cain haters hiding behind the $250 Cain gave to BOB KerrEy to mask the real reasons they oppose him. Do these people hate Reagan because of Iran/Contra. Do they hate Newt because of his affair. Do they hate Bush because he proposed the huge increase in government spending called Prescription drug benefit. Do they hate Isakson for voting against Bush's "Mexico City Policy." Do they hate Collins for voting with the pro-abortion Isakson on many issues. No, I doubt they do.
In fact they probably think the above list of things is ridiculous. Yes, they are right. It is ridiculous. Just as ridicules as hating Cain for contributing $250 to the profuseness BOB KerrEy.

Saying we hate Cain is using the verbage of the left.They say we "hate gays" because we want the marriage amendment.No one has expressed hate for Cain.We have all said we would support him if he won.The problem is like the democrats that yell hate speech several on this board have chosen to call Isakson names and say they will vote for Majette.
Kenth,
I think you meant "push the smaller issues." You know the ones like base closings and road funding.
I mean, after all, who cares about the future of our country and the need to reform the tax system, Social Security and stop abortion. Come on, it doesn't really matter that the whole thing is going to collapse in ten years, does it?
We need more policy wonks like Isakson or Collins so we can get less done and spend more money doing it!

Okay, so you don't hate Herman Cain. You just dislike him intensely enough to slander him (not a technical use of slander here, in case you're getting confused) by lying about him.
What I don't get is what you don't like about babies, since you support the only candidate in this primary that thinks killing babies is okay. Can you please explain that?
If Isakson makes it to the general election, I and a large number of conservatives will not be voting for him - or the Democrat candidate. But Isakson needs our votes to win, and he won't get them.
I agree.
Go Herman Cain go.
Here's the difference in print:

And with the right breaks and a groundswell at the base, Cain could... go... all... the... way...!
