    Well, it seems that all those that were so vehemently defending Cain not so long ago have decided that maybe, just maybe there may be some credibility to all these "white" women coming out of the woodwork to make accusations against Cain and have suddenly decided to go mute.

    What is the irony? Well, if Cain is doing those things he is being accused of, the "Family Values" party is not going to support him any longer. We are going to shift our support over to Gingrich, who by the way, has been married three times, presented his wife with divorce papers while she was in the hospital with cancer, and left his second wife after having an affair with his current wife.

    Yep, he is so much more of a "family values" man. Never mind all the other stuff that will soon surface about Newt - and from the other Republican candidates, no less.

    Why are Gingrich's indiscretions less offensive to Republican/conservatives than Cain's?

    The difference is probably that Gingrich is far smarter than Cain.

    The reason none of this is hurting Gingrich is because it all happened a long time ago and everyone knows about it.

    But what's hurting Cain is that he knows nothing and just repeats the "9-9-9" mantra as if that's all he needs to be President. So the sex scandals aren't the only thing.

    Guys,

    you must accept that only Cain is worthy enough to became the 45th potus, only he posses enough economical experience and moral values to run this country from the economical or political crisis. He is a True Man, in difference to fluffy-bunny Newt.

    I vote also Michelle Obachma - the bestest woman on GOP stage right now from McPalin aside - know's her issues, talks straight, knows how to deal with Iranian nuke cricis in Israel, and the biggest trit from the liberal socialist scum.

    So, it's not about the affairs? If Gingrich is so smart, he should have forged ahead long before now. I think conservatives think that because he has a more extensive vocabulary than some of the others that he is smart, but, he's mostly mean and sly.

    I'm not so sure "true men" want to be in the same category as Cain.

    I don't think Cain is relevant in any way.. He didn't know about Libya or the Right of Return or that China has had nukes since 1964.. He's an insult to American voters..

    Bachman is no better than Cain.. Newt always self destructs.. and Mitt has no character.

    Actually nobody's believing the lies told about Cain. And there weren't "all these white women". Most of the women we don't even know their race because they didn't have the stones to come forward. Nameless, faceless accusations mean nothing to conservatives. And the one accuser that did come forward has a history as a serial harassment complainer and a gold digger.

    Newt Gingrich recently came to faith in Christ and is not the same man that did those heartless things. This is something only a Christian would understand which is why it baffles you. The family values groups you speak of are Christians who believe in redemption.

    It's a Christian thing. You WOULDN'T understand.

    Actually it seems most people believe Cain is a womanizer, but it doesn't matter.. He is too uninformed to run for the Presidency.

    Cain's done.. He may hang on until January to pick up matching campaign funds from the government..

    What are all those "indiscretions" Gingrich is guilty of? Point in fact please, no rumor, innuendos, or flat out political smears dredged up from 15-20 years ago. I'm not defending him by any means, but I am curious.

    The truth is, there is no scandal here and that's what drives the liberals nuts. Newt isn't trying to hide the hideously immoral things he's done in previous marriages. But he has come to faith in Christ and has received a precious gift, forgiveness for all his sins, which is vouchsafed only to those who come to Christ for salvation.

    "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2Corinthians 5:17

    Having heard Newts interviews about his newfound Catholic faith, I'm convinced of his conversion. Redemption is something that every Christian believer understands because we've all had that experience of being forgiven for every wrong thing we've ever done. I consider Newt Gingrich to be my brother.

    Would you vote for Obama if he decided to redeem himself in the Catholic Church? Would that absolve him of his previous actions Political and that of his personal life too?

    I consider him to be your brother, too.
    LOL
    What do you like best about him? His repudiation of Paul Ryan's budget plan? His new modified amnesty plan? His former support for global warming initiatives?

    I like that Newt Gingrich is a deft and skilled debater and several times smarter than POTUS and that the Left is terrified of an even debate between the two.

    But what policies that he can skillfully debate are you excited about? Repudiating Paul Ryan? Amnesty for illegal aliens? Where's his connection to you?

    I'm not voting for Newt, I've voting for Herman Cain. Moreover, I don't think that any solution that isn't "round 'em up and throw them out" is amnesty. Your question is a sculpted one that carefully excludes Newt's many accolades including the Contract With America, balancing the budget, reforming welfare, etc When I look at Newt, I look at the whole picture and if Cain doesn't win the Primary, I'd be happy to send Newt against Obama when there is no teleprompter in sight.

    I don't think you'll have the chance to vote for Cain.
    As for the Contract with America, Newt didn't write it and none of it got passed.

    I expect Cain will drop out of the race by Monday... unless he hits his supporters up for more money before he drops out in January.

    Romney has no character ?

    He accepted no money for turning around the corrupt winter Olympics while making them one of the most financially successful in history.

    NEWT was fined $300,000 by Congress for failing to disclose information before congress .Some might call that lying.
    Romney won his religions highest award during his missionary work.
    That might be a character deal.

    Romney refused his 1 MILLION plus salary and turned it back to the games.
    Some might call that character.

    Newt lobbied for Freddie and Fannie earning millions as they go bankrupt.
    They are FUNDED by TAXpayer dollars..then says he is not a lobbyist...?? or a insider ?

    Romney was elected to a liberal state mired in debt and corruption. 4 years later left with a budget surplus.. universal health care and no corruption charges..EVER. NONE.ZERO.NADA.

    Newt was Swept into power attacking the DEMOCRATIC Speaker over book deals.Like REED..he enjoyed a home field advantage.
    He did SOME good things while being corrupt..attacking political opponents with personal attacks and even going after the PRESIDENT of the United States..while HE WAS DOING THE EXACT same thing.

    Romney worked with his opponent Kennedy and others.He led with dignity and fair play..got stuff done with a bi partisan effort.NO corruption..no personal attacks..
    ROMNEY WAS GOVERNOR FOR 4 years for FREE.
    I'd say that is character that is un matched...

    Newt was fined over illegal book deals and forced to resign.
    CONGRESS ..YES..that mess..KNEW ENOUGH to force their most corrupt OUT.
    I'd say that show a lacks of Character that I want as PRESIDENT of THE UNITED STATES.

    A liar..cheater..tax cheat..check bouncing..scumbag.
    The facts are Facts.

    Just dont count on FOX to display them.
    he Murdoch fix is on.

    Foxnews is discredited every time they have that snake Carl Rove on. Sean Hannity loves to call himself conservative, but then considers Carl Rove to be a great friend and gives that serpent lots of air time and doesn't see the conflict. As long as Foxnews keeps airing his reptilian face, liberals have no business accusing them of being conservative.

    What's "ironic"...

    is the same leftists who demanded Clinton's ability to perform his public duties not be judged on prolific scumbaggery within his private life...

    never fail to find a way to use private life scumbaggery as a weapon against political opposition.


    Leftists. Politically expedient duplicity is thy name.
