OH! - The Hypocrisy - Cain!
NBC/WSJ poll: Cain allegations don't matter to majority of Republicans

A majority of Republican voters -- and nearly six in 10 GOP Tea Party supporters -- say they aren't concerned about the sexual-harassment allegations directed at Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

But his standing among all respondents has declined since these allegations first surfaced last week.

In the poll, 54 percent of Republican voters say they aren't concerned about voting for Cain after these allegations, while another 15 percent say they are "just a little" concerned.

By comparison, only a combined 13 percent of Republicans say they are a "great deal" or "quite a bit" concerned about voting for Cain.

But among all adults, negative opinions about Cain have increased in the past month.

In October's NBC/WSJ survey, 24 percent of all respondents had a positive impression of the ex-Godfather's Pizza CEO, and 18 percent had a negative impression of him.

What if these allegations were made against President Obama?

1. They sure made 8 years' worth of hay out of accusations against Clinton.

2. THE GOP REACTIONS:


Michelle: At least he's not a frugal socialist. Herb is a good guy.

Newt: Cast no stones or something something something. (Psst, Herman, you like blondes, too?)

Rick S. : I think the people of Iowa know who would be more willing to support. And I am that person!

Rick P. : Y'all just fasten your boots to you saddles, while I tells you why . . . what were we talking about?

Sarah: Herb is a good man. It is the lame stream liberal media, the LMLM that is the problem.

Mitt: I fully support each of the candidates seeking the presidency, because each and every one of them would be better than the current occupant. I am sure that when all the dust has settled, Mr. Cain will look just like the rest of us. Dusty.

T Paw: Can I change my mind, please?

5. Their behavior is so predictable, that it should not
bother you anymore.

I mean, 1 year of Sarah Palin or Rick Santorum would be enough to cure anyone of the belief that they are even handed in their treatment of issues.

9. All true, LNP. All true.
Since the daze of W, there has been not one redeeming quality from the GOP. Unless they their words contain "I concede"

6.  a really excellent comment from the story:
Ahhhh . . . Did anyone really think conservatives care? They don't think past the propaganda. They will vote for whomever the machine tells them to vote for. They don't imagine a better world, but instead huddle in fear about some phony threat conjured up by the scare machine that is conservative politics. They are a 12th century party caught in the 21st century. They bomb the Taliban and want to bomb Iran, but at their core is a sensibility that would implement religious purity, a survivalist society, and an oligarchy that protects the wealthy against the masses. Sound familiar? It's a world they fail to illustrate for their voters who don't seem to get it.

every once in a while there's a comment worth reading.
