Rippa, I never said that you said there was a set up. But you did make an argument about how Weiner should not have been forced to resign, and I can only assume that you mean because his sexual misconduct does not afffect his job performance. OR means that is one of the two options provided, and in this case you took the second option.

Did you catch the part where I said “OR that they have nothing to do with his ability to govern?”

Given the work of Andrew Breitbart in the last two years, is it a strecth to think that it could have been a set up? But, umm, show me where I did; please do?

Did “progressives” respond as you said they would when it was Anthony Weiner?

I’m going to say something here that I KNOW Rippa and the rest of the folks over here are going to jump all over, but hey it needs to be said. Now, you know I have NO LOVE for Republicans (or Democrats for that matter either) but really? Are you going to spend DAYS excoriating Herman Cain for sexual harassment, misconduct, whatever, when you know damn well if he was a so called “progressive” you would be all over the internet proclaiming that he was set up and the charges against him were fabricated OR that they have nothing to do with his ability to govern?

Is a Black man running for office only a Black man subject to the same racist tactics as any other Black man if he is a Democrat?

And, no I am not a fan of Cain, nor am I saying he is a good dude and should be hailed as a hero, but really? If this was a left wing politician, even erasing the racial angle, “progressives” would be all over this story as being a distraction and a tactic to assail the character of THEIR candidate!

Go ahead, let the hate begin… it doesn’t mean I am wrong!

PS I also believe that the “conservatives” who are defending Herman Cain are showing just as much racism as people who are willing to jump on the bandwagon to defame the man! All I am saying, is even if you think the man is dumb as hell for being a Republican (which I tend to agree with), if he were actually a Dem, the same people who are getting at him for this incident would be expressing undying support and the white “progressives” would most assuredly be leading the charges of racism, just as the conservatives are right now.

Bottom line it, if you are a Dem, you blindly defend Dems, if you are a Rep, you blindly defend Reps. That is one of the problems with politics as usual. When it all comes down to it, how does sexual conduct impact someone’s ability to govern? Did the fact that Clinton got a blow job all of a sudden cause him to lose the support of his party? Nope! So Democrats and Republicans alike are just doing what folks naturally do when it comes to blindly following the party line.
