Then there was his latest confusing “explanation” of the sexual harassment scandal.

Cain told Cavuto that he and his campaign were prepared for the sexual harassment scandal. “We did opposition research on myself… I told them about this Restaurant Association incident,” Cain said.

Considering the contradictory and confusing stories he’s given out, that was one heck of a bad oppo research job they did. But, of course, Cavuto didn’t have the bad manners to point that out.

Then came the even more bizarre conspiracy theory about who leaked the story to Politico in the first place.


Here’s what we believe but we don’t have any facts so I’m not gonna accuse anybody. People who do not want me to get the nomination or become president – I don’t know who these people are, it’s probably a network of them – are behind this because they knew… that some people were going to believe the accusation whether it was true or not. ‘Let’s take a little bit of shine off of Herman’s star and see whether or not it will help to reduce the enthusiasm that people have.’ They knew that, so they achieved that objective. But here’s where it backfired. More people believe me than the accusations and they have demonstrated it not only with their verbal support, people wanting to volunteer, they have demonstrated it with their dollars.”

Now, Cain told Cavuto, the Hill joke “was hilarious because I would never in my wildest dreams expect her to endorse me… I got a laugh out of it.”

This is getting so bizarre that it would be reasonable at this point to question his stability.

At this point one has to wonder at the mental condition of those defending and supporting him. :shock:
 
How dare you question Cain? How dareeee youuuuuu?

I wish I could question the dancing bears in this circus. No doubt they would make more sense with their growls. :lol:
 
All except Perry. He would forget how to growl.

"Sorry, oops!"

Don't you have someone you support and defend and those on the opposite side wonder about your mental condition. It has always been like that.
 
This is a warning. If you have nothing to contribute to this thread regarding the candidates, don't bother posting. Attacking the posters personally is unnacceptable. Stick to the topic.

The exception is that I have never denied being nutty as a fruitcake. :giggle:

Agreed.

I have to say I'm not too sure of this Cain fella that we have been discussing. Especially with all the women who are speaking out against him. People like Perry are far, far from being qualified for the job especially if they cannot even name a department of the government.

Cain won't become the final candidate for the GOP.
 
Agreed.

Definately not. He is shooting himself in the foot at every turn.

Jon Stewart said that Perry should have faked a stroke. It would have left him with more credibility.:giggle:

I like Anita Hill. She has the unmistakable ring of truth and stands by her story to this day.
