Stick a Fork in Cain, as he is Done!

[longeyes]

Newt is about to be gutted.  He has one and only one choice: to wage total war on the MSM, naming institutions and individuals, detailing the full history of bias and abuse to destroy and discredit the enemy. Does he want to win? This is the cultural moment.

[MechAg94]

That is the prediction I have heard.  As soon as each Repub Candidate takes the lead, the MSM goes all out to dump on them and knock them down.  Newt has a lot of baggage to bring up also.

I don't think there are many Republicans not already aware of Newt's baggage.

I'm curious to see what the results of the upcoming media scrutiny will be.

A lot of that baggage has been forgotten.

A lot of that baggage has been forgotten.

And a lot of that baggage was a fiction in the first place, dreamed up by Clinton & Company.

Newt is no worse, personal baggage-wise, than any divorced former member of Congress.

I think this joker was married during some of his debauchery:

Of course, then there's Newt's political baggage.

I was never much of a Cain booster, but I did send a donation, and will apply the bumper sticker to my vehicle, simply because he riles all the right knuckleheads.

But, since the shaky, muddled answer on Libya, I am no longer very eager to see him elected.  

Still better than the current joker, of course.

No lie.  I won;t ever forget Congressman Futurist Fanboy and Pelosi swapping spit for the wormer ad.

If Paul would be willing to settle for "Libertarianism in One Country" and be willing to shut down the illegal alien trade, I could live with his foreign policy pollyanna-ish tendencies.

Sadly, like many libertarians, he does not understand that open borders would destroy any libertarian regime, as looters & eaters who do not share their values swamp them.

The phrase "damning with faint praise" comes to mind.

Faint indeed.

Apparently Obama's family values and high morality stop at the outer limits of the family quarters in the White House.  Macro, not micro, is what matters here.

[Strings]

Hear that, Micro? You don't matter...

Of course he doesn't matter....when's the last time he voted in a POTUS election?.....

Seems to me that Newt has garnered most of the Herman Cain supporters now.  Newt has baggage as most of us do in one form or another.

I still support Mr. Cain.  He needs to pay attention to what he says a bit more.  I think he sees the world as a pretty complex place and as a result does not have good answers or all the answers to questions relating to foreign affairs.  I don't think President Obama understands the US or the world that IS as opposed to the US and world he WANTS them to be.  Dreaming is okay, but lets keep grounded in reality.
 
Newt was my second choice.  Ultimately, the choice has to be an effective candidate against President Obama and present a clear difference.  That's why when the smoke clears, Romney will probably be the Republican nominee.

It appears that the Super Committee has failed.  Does it surprise me?  No!  The 1.2 trillion reduction over 10 years is NOTHING.  It doesn't even stop the red ink or cut the growth in expenditures built into the system.   There needs to be hell to pay.

I'm starting to believe that the whole system has to fail before it can be fixed.  I don't relish that thought.

I have opinions on the "whitewoman" comment in general.  But I will refrain.

I gotta give David Axelrod props; finding a Cain accuser actually named "White" was pure genius.

Cain's credit card receipts will fix that real fast.

Does this mean that they're now accusing him of having his way with the White woman?.....somebody better call Atticus Finch..... 

[slingshot]

I don't know what to think anymore about the Cain accusations.  That's the problem.  Nobody does.  Cain is damaged and damaged probably beyond repair which is such a shame. 

As far a Newt goes, you can pretty much find a quote or the pundits will with him saying most anything.  He has been in politics a long time.  He is a conservative.  But Newt is a man who tries to get things done as opposed to standing on pure idealogy.

[Perd Hapley]

Haven't all of the women been white? Were he a Dem. candidate, the media would ignore the allegations, and go after the accusers and the Republican Party as race-baiters. That would be the only angle on the story. I feel safe in saying this, because we saw something similar with Harold Ford.

By spring, at the current rate, we should have no viable GOP candidate left.  We know Newt is vulnerable and we know that Romney wears funny underwear.  So who rides out of the West on a white horse with a shimmering sword?

And frankly, whomever it is, NEEDS to come from the West (and not CA). 

I've about had it with Amerika East of the Miss, especially the bits between Wall Street and Mordor on the Potomac, treating the rest of us like gorram colonies to exploit.

Or maybe it will be West, as in Allen West...?
