This stuff just isn’t going to go away. It’s plastered everywhere, and the average voter isn’t going to endeavor to discern the truth for themselves. They’ll listen to whoever stands up to the microphone.
His campaign has got to find a way to put this junk to rest once and for all or he’ll never get back on message.
Grrrr
Even if it’s entirely clear this harassment bullshit is nonsense the media will still report “lingering doubts”. It will never go away. Cain just has to move on and stay on message. They will never let it go. They’re tools of the political establishment.
I agree.
It’s time for his heavy-duty lawyer to start administering some legal-type “black eyes” (such as a slander/libel suit), to discourage this sort of thing.
He can't. This is a planned, well orchestrated strategy on the left and it won't stop unless Cain's popularity rose after each attack. If Gingrich keeps rising in the polls, the same will happen to him - serial adulterer, served his wife on her death bed, etc. After these two, anyone else who might be a threat (except Romney) will get the smear treatment; because it works. Romney will stay clean until the general election if he is chosen. Then we will get endless articles about the evils of Mormonism and Mormons' bloody past, etc. This is modern politics in America.
You are being either dishonest or stupid.
The leftists smear conservatives constantly.
Anyone who blames conservatives for this is either retarded or a liar.
You can’t put it to rest, and the trouble with politics is sometimes you need to ignore it, and other times you need to counter attack, but the devil is figuring out which. I would shut any reporter that mentioned it down by saying, I’ve already covered this and I refuse to be tried and convicted in the court of public opinion by those who have a motivation to do me harm. But you have to refuse to entertain questions about it or you’ll never be allowed to answer any other kind of question at all.
