Hey, how about Bachmann and Santorum. They are solid Tea Party Conservatives. If you would get behind these folks and stop Whinning, they would move up in the polls, IMHO

I hope you don’t sit it out. Folks who (understandably!) could not vote for Bush 41 in ‘92 gave us Clinton, and Justices Breyer and Ginsburg.

Folks who understandably could not vote for McClown may have given us Justices Kagan and Sotomayor.

I’m voting for whomever can stop more liberal Justices. Hoping (relatively speaking at this point) it’s Perry, but yeah, I’ll vote for Willard if it comes to that. For the Court.

want her to produce the birthday cards, Valentine’s day cards, etc with the I love you & kisses Herman at the bottom. After 13yrs, she has to have quite a collection.

Be careful what you wish for. A couple of weeks ago some Cain supporters were daring for a woman with whom he was successfully conducting an affair to step forward since all the allegations against him showed him getting no where sexually and that just didn't seem realistic to them. As I said. Be careful what you wish for.

I feel badly for anyone who was still sticking with Herman after his lawyer’s statement last night. That was the end of his campaign. All that was left was the Wednesday statement making it official.

I love Herman and gave him money. However I always make sure I have never put myself in a position that would look bad in the future to the wrong people, like my wife of 37 years. This is beginning to sound like where there is smoke there was fire. Its beginning to look like Herman has what is called “work wife affairs”. I am waiting this out but it does not look good.

I am sure the Chicago political attack machine was behind all of these outings, however that said one has to wonder if he set himself up for these attacks. Life is not fair and our side never gets away with anything.

No way will I vote for Romney. Way too many questions about his Mormon faith and him being a RINO.

All a head scratcher. It comes down to ego methinks. Paying off others in the past and skating by makes one think they are invincible. He really thought crap wouldn’t come out if true, or he picks the wrong people to help “financially” that is for sure. Either way, not presidential material in my mind at this point. Come on, the lawyer and him were on different pages as well and that is no leadership. Sigh. Disappointing.

That’s about right.

The perfect FR candidate had sex only for procreation once a month. Studied the bible until bedtime every day of his life.
Never used alcohol in his life and on weekends went out and shot border crossing illegals with his 30.06 rifle.

In 2002 Romney stated that his goal would be ridding the GOP of prolife and antigay conservatives.

I would vote Obama before I voted for Mitt. At least Obama is in the other party.

WE are NOT the same as Dems and liberals..we have values..and for pete’s sake, a Baptist minister who can’t keep his fly zipped is NOT who I want for my nominee..

Well said and thanks for saying so. I was beginning to think I was the only one who felt the same way.

Well, to be fair, that is true no matter who runs or wins.

That is why I can take this with “a spring in my step”. It is because, once you get down to it, it really doesn’t matter to me all that much what happens, regarding Cain’s candidacy. I’m watching this like someone watches a football game they have $5 riding on. I have a favorite, but the outcome, one way or the other, isn’t going to affect my life all that much.

"Anyhow, if Cain leaves the race, I won’t be voting."

I felt the same way on Election Night 2008.

But I went home and started something months before the Tea Party began.

The fruits of my efforts are on display in the Museum of Connecticut History across the street from the State Capitol in Hartford.

Don't ever give up!!

He didn’t say that. He just ignored the media.

IF there is nothing to this "liable" then it only PROVES once and for all that the State Run Media has the power to take out any conservative they want. Whomever wins the GOP nomination better be prepared to be destroyed both politically and personally.

Meanwhile NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, will reach the viewing or reading audience as it relates to "liable" against the RAT chosen messiah. No investigation into his school records, no investigation into where his past girl friends are hiding, nobody asking for dirt on the chosen messiah!!!

Remember the “crying” at the values summit and his praise for his wonderful wife? A THIRTEEN YEAR “RELATIONSHIP”? GIVE ME A BREAK.

What a hypocrit!

I’m not ‘wishing’. If she has the proof, she should produce it. Let’s get it out.

He might as well quit. The handwritting is on the wall. If this one does not do the job, next week there will be 10 more. They ran Palin off, when they run this one off I’m through. The Republicans can fight it out among themselves to see who obama beats.Get ready for four more years of obama.
