BREAKING!! Aide: Herman Cain will stay in the race
The State Column ^ | Nov 29, 2011 | Staff

Posted on 11/29/2011 3:06:48 PM PST by Jim Robinson

After reports surfaced Tuesday morning that pizza magnate Herman Cain is reassessing his 2012 Republican presidential nomination bid, POLITICO obtained a statement from a Cain campaign spokesman regarding his candidates’ consideration of dropping out of the race.

“Yes,” the campaign spokesman said Tuesday when asked whether Cain would “definitely” remain in the race.

The clarification comes after the National Review Online released statements that Cain made in a conference call with campaign aides Tuesday morning. During the call, Cain made the following statements, “We have to do an assessment as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people’s minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth,” Cain said.

My problem with Cain since day 1 is his lack of experience. He’s never even held public office. He would go into the White House with less experience than Obama went in. We can’t afford that. The problems are too extreme and the threats to the country are too real for us to spend years with a president that needs on-the-job training.

Since when has being a politician qualified that person (especially a RAT bastard socialist demoRAT) to be anything BUT a politician, skilled at lying & taxing & spending & wasting taxpayer money.

As William Buckley proclaimed it once, he would rather be governed by the first 300 names in the telephone book, rather than the entire Harvard faculty, and I think you can substitute professional politicians & congress critters in place of the Harvard faculty. There is no body of people more evil & corrupt & incompetent right now, than the entire socialist RAT bastard demoRAT congressional politicians (led by the chief anti-christ 0dumb0) and the RINO's in Washington D.C. We don't need more lyin' thievin' politicians & political appointees in Washington DC. We need rock solid conservative, patriotic Americans who are willing to roll back the tyranny & programs of socialism over the past 80 years, and completely nullify & void these socialist programs.

What should Cain (or any Repub president) do in the face of demoRAT filibusters? Maybe do what 0dumb0 has done and is doing right now, and that is to simply issue executive orders in order to disband & nullify socialist programs wherever they exist.

How do you know what my intent was?

Because I have an I.Q. above room temperature. It was a lot less subtle than you thought it was.

I’ve read this site for well longer than you’ve been a member

Wow, that's the first time anyone's pulled rank on me by claiming ancient lurker status .. LOL! Creative!

You still didn't tell me what your former FR handle was.

I think I see the name Perry on that train, not Cain.

In spite of the media led attacks against him Herman Cain is still polling 2-3 times higher than RINO Rick Perry. So yes, Rick Perry's campaign is the real train wreck.

? calm down.

What I mean is that this is a replay of the alleged sexual harrassment claims. It was lots of talk, but no specifics, which means they were most likely baseless.

In this case, the MSM ran a story where they find it newsworthy to report when Text and Cell calls were made (between 4:26am and 7:57pm or something like that). We have been given a number of about 60-70 text/calls over 4 months, but no mention of who was doing the calling/texting (her or Cain) or what they said.

No one wants to invade anyone’s privacy, but when it’s a matter of clearing your name, you want the truth to get out there. If these texts are generic and say “Hi. Hope you had a great day” or some other generic communication, then this woman is sunk.

However, if they have texts that Cain says: “Had a Hot time in Hotlanta with you. Can’t wait to do it again!”, then that’s probably pretty damaging to him. However, I don’t know if these kind of texts exists because if they did, we would have seen them by now.

I don’t want the MSM to tramp on Cain’s privacy. I want the truth to come out.

I’m still on the Cain Train. Remember, I’m the one that fished out the Politico story and discovered Lorna O’Hara was probably the silent NJ accuser who has yet to come forward publicly, because of her and her employer’s connections to Romney/Christie. And I know that if Herman survives this, we will soon be hearing the name of Larry Forth Junior and whether or not he stole money from the NRA’s PAC under Cain’s nose.

"She showed us some of her cell phone bills that included 61 phone calls or text messages to or from a number starting with 678. She says it is Herman Cain's private cell phone. The calls were made during four different months-- calls or texts made as early as 4:26 in the early morning, and as late as 7:52 at night. The latest were in September of this year."

{they showed her cell phone call record on the news segment - it's in the video. And the newscaster called the number on her cell phone call list - left message. Cain called back and the newscaster talked to him.}

Do you really believe that if there were anything explosive in those messages, the MSM would not print them, that they would feel constrained by ethics? You’re a funny guy!

Oh, hell yeah they would. I know that. I was reacting to the fact that a Freeper (of all people) thought it was a good idea for the state-run media to do so.

Nothing like releasing and publishing 26,000+ emails for everyone to search and rummage through is there? Yes, indeed, that's precisely what Sarah Palin had to endure and what did the lamestream learn? Only that she was a hard working, completely honest Governor.

Great point, Onyx, but Sarah was a sitting Governor when she typed those emails, so a case can be made that the public had a right to know the contents.

Herman Cain's private phone texts? Not a chance.

just about all the fire directed at Cain is coming from one source, David Axelrod,

I have no doubt the Chicago/Bo machine is heavily into taking out Cain by any means possible. Also the Republicans want Cain to continue his run for however possible.

Naturally Cain is winning over many within the black population which BO does depend on to win him the election....and the Republicans know this as well. Cain continuing his run definately benefits the Republicans and just really p*sses BO off!...Axelrod especially! Cain seriously divides the black vote.

True dat and the lamestream had to sue for access.

I think if the text messages were juicy, the lamestream would have published and dealt wiith the consequences afterward, but that’s just me, the non-lawyer talking.

Hoo Boy! Have I HEARD THAT one before.

I can’t tell you how many un-wed mothers I have taken in, apartments I have cleaned ,painted, and wallpapered, and financial help I have given to folks whose only qualification was that “They agreed with me spiritually”. And guess what, every one of them has betrayed my friendship.

It is a very typical reaction of down-and-out folks to “bite the hand that feeds them”. Perhaps it is because they see their own inadequacies when they have to rely on someone for help.

This is one of the pitfalls of sincere ministry. Yet we must never become weary of well-doing, as we do it unto the LORD, and HE keeps GOOD BOOKS!

Yesterday a big poster and a bumper sticker arrived in the mail—just says “Cain”. Bumper sticker is going on my rear window tomorrow. The poster will go in a window. We live in a townhouse community and can’t have signs on our lawns. I might consider removing them if an intern shows up with a blue Gap dress...

But that turned out to be “just personal and shouldn’t matter”, didn’t it?

Worse when it’s a man. Needy women transfer feelings to the men who helped them. Doctors see this in their practices every day. I know, because I am married to a doctor.

His fundraising has most likely all but dried up. His campaign will starve for a lack of $$$

After thought and prayer, my husband and I decided to donate to Herman Cain tonight.

We both recognize that this is a demonic attempt to destroy him.

Thanks for the reminder to give. I hope a lot of good freepers do the same.

Can’t wait til we get our Hillsdale letter. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher both spoke there.
