  • Cain isn't the first to be brought down by unproven sex charges. Politically such charges are most effective because it stirs up public opinion to righteous indignation without going through a nasty court of law.

    Four women made sex challenges against Cain, and if that wasn't enough to bring him down, I'm sure there would have been a fifth or sixth waiting in the wings to continue the attack.

    Bottom line - which candidate can govern best. That's the real question for the campaign.

  • Zook, even Dr. Alveda King, MLK's niece endorsed Cain. It has been just sickening to watch.

    Apparently, we don't want the best that the country has to offer us. Instead, we have all sold our souls to a political party of our choice.

    It is a wonder that anyone would want to run for public office these days. Your families have to be like 10" thick steel just to survive until the primaries.

    And what really astounds me is that women should be happy that someone is coming to the forefront, no, it has to be their Barbie doll, not someone elses.

    And if a person of color or race enters, they cannot be conservative, because if they are, someone will be eating them for breakfast and then whining about how oppressed they are.

    We made history all right in 2008, but it wasn't the kind of history that will make anyone smile for a very long time. It is the kind of history that is infamous and disturbing.

    Everyone ask themselves these questions in November 2012. Are you better off than you were 4 years ago. Does your future look bright? Will your retirement be there when you turn a certain age? We will all have to work at the wheel an extra 10 years, just so a handful of elected officials can live a lavish lifestyle but expects us to "make do"

    This commentary is regardless of party. We are all disappointed in the present job performance of all our elected officials.

    It would be different, if we were able to see someone from the top down who has been elected to an office, do their job. Take their own personal austerity measures on behalf of the taxpayers.

  • If your talking about racism and someone on the blogs said it "doesn't happen anymore". It's true that was mentioned on the blogs but you won't find it because it was wrote on Kims blogs and their not here anymore
