printDennis Miller, a very funny neoconservative (that is a liberal who really likes war), threw in the towel over the Cain fracas. Quoting a caller to his radio show, Miller said that when it comes to Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, there is too much steam on the windows and too little in the engine. Bloody funny, for sure.
Still, I tend to think that Ann Coulter makes a good case about the meritless evidence against Cain. Writes Coulter: “Most people say, ‘Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.’ I say, ‘Where there’s smoke around a conservative, there are journalists furiously rubbing two sticks together.'” Read her assessment of that evidence.
Yes, Cain’s alleged consorts are trashy. But it could be that Mr. Cain is drawn to trashy women. The fact that these women are trashy is no proof that he has not consorted with them. Either way, alleged moral or ethical indiscretions don’t disqualify Mr. Cain for the position of “the boss of all bosses at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue”; if anything, they make him eminently suited to be Capo di tutti capi of America.
“Saturday Is ‘Decision Day’ for GOP Presidential Contender Herman Cain.”
UPDATE (Dec. 3): Cain Campaign Suspended:
Herman Cain announced Saturday he was suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, citing the “painful price” sexual harassment and extramarital affair allegations have had on his family.
Well, I see on the Dennis Miller website that S. E. Cupp will stay home if the election is between Obama and Gingrich.
Coulter makes some good points and I personally care more if the President obeys the constitution than if he/she scores with some bimbos, boytoys, etc.
Sadly, we have a Welfare-Warfare state where the bulk of the Republican party is willing to go for Bailout / Housing sibsidizing / Ethanol mandating / Socialized Medicine advocates as long as they are pro-war. The “compassionate conservatives” & neocons really run the party and the “social conservatives” will settle for adulterers rather than Obama.
I expect that the Democrats will charge the Republicans with RACISM if Gingrich the white adulterer forges ahead of Cain the (likely but not proven) black adulter.
I always liked Herman. Still do. But, I never thought he was the man for the presidency for various reasons. At this point if he bows out there won’t be any real loss except the fact that the established leftist propaganda machine sails on unchecked with the ability and determination to destroy anybody in public life who doesn’t fit the leftist, liberal, PC mold. The Democrat side sets the agenda. Those of us who hate and despise them spend all of our time responding to attacks on our people and letting the Democrats skate. The public pounding of all non Democrats has turned the Republican party, over the years, into a bunch of weak kneed Democrat wannabees. That’s one of the reasons I love Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and a few others because they suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fartune and still come up fighting and spit in the eye their would be tormentors. If the weak kneed among us would care to notice the tough ones like Sarah and Rush have large followings of loyal supporters. There must be a reason.
One could say that his campaign died one short:

(he only suffered 999 cuts)
I agree with Ron the hermanator should have been disqualified from being a serious candidate because of his Tax Tax Tax plan which just rearranged the deck chairs on the sinking Titanic of the US economy
Hey hermanator if you really want a BOLD plan check out the Ron Paul plan it cuts a Trillion dollars of SPENDING in the 1st year & balances the budget in 3 yrs & shrinks the Federales from 27% down to 15% of GDP
That’s how you Git Er Done hermanator
Dr. Ron Paul the next President of the United States !
