Here’s what I noticed. Before Cain’s rather nasty turn over the rock issue, I was supporting three people—Palin would have been my first choice, and Perry and Cain were about even. I was never attacked by anyone when I said that Cain was one of the ones I supported. After the rock issue, and with subsequent remarks he made, etc., I dropped support for Cain. Palin dropped out, leaving only Perry. I can’t tell you the horrible comments directed at me personally for saying I didn’t care for what Cain did about the rock—some even suggesting I live in an area where cousins marry and people walk around with their knuckles dragging the ground. And then there are those who simply state that anyone who supports Perry is an idiot, a moron, you name it.
So yeah, I’m a little tired of it, and not expecting it from people I used to consider conservatives. I don’t see why a conservative can’t have a reasonable disagreement over who the nominee will ultimately be, without resorting to those kinds of tactics. If anyone wants to rip apart the conservative base, that would be how they’d go about it.
Ha, ha. You live where cousins marry. That’s a good one.
I, too, have suffered abuse from the Cain supporters.
First, Cain turned me off of him for various reasons I’ve stated before.
Then his supporters have turned me way off him because they are hysterical, hateful, mean and off the charts vicious.
That is not the way to gain support for your candidate.
This battle is far worse than when pissant would get on Palin threads and diss her. Some of these Cain supporters make me long for pissant. (I’m sure he’s back under another name).
