“divide and conquer - look in democrat cesspools for the culprits..”
Don’t have the Donks to blame for this. As another poster stated above, they have no need to go doing this now. This is “October Surprise” material.
No. This is a mix of desperation on someone’s part and the overall crude amateurism that vexes so many of the GOP field so far this cycle. We’ve got too many people here who have not really spent the time and effort to sort themselves out for a truly national campaign. They’re acting unprepared to run for POTUS because, well, they are.
And these are the people that are going to run and beat The One? Based upon...? We’re either fuddling through debates or inexplicably mucking up a bimbo eruption or trying to live down demons of health problem ridden wives past.
How many here jumped up and yelled with indignation when the first allegations of sexual impropriety were leveled against Clinton who now “stick by their man” when Cain is under growing question? Catch that double entendre in there?
Who here used Bachmann’s migraines as an issue against her to “move her out of the way for the real conservative” only to now excuse, ignore, and giggle away Perry’s rambling “unmarried uncle who loves musicals” moment in New Hampshire? Seriously.
There are lot of my fellow respected Freepers who need a moment of serious self-reflection, examination, and, interaction with reality. I say that lovingly.
Please do...
What if nobody leaked it? Last month, a news organization took the time to talk to EVERY person they could find associated with Rick Perry and his family, to the point where they found someone who mentioned a rock at a hunting camp that had a bad word on it painted over.
Think about that. That wasn't "leaked" by a poltical campaign, that was a news organization digging into minute details of the front-runner's life.
And you think that the same level of digging that found a rock in a field from 1981 wouldn't find an actual SETTLEMENT of an harrassment charge in the 1990s?
Why are we so quick to assume that the media wouldn't try to dig up dirt on our candidates, that we assume a political campaign did it? Why do we think a story like this is easier for a political campaign to learn than a news organization?
People know things that happen around them. And when they see a person suddenly famous, and they know something about that person, they talk. There were two women and several of their friends who knew about this, and saw Cain in the news. It makes perfect sense that one of them would talk to the media.
can not argue with anything you said
