[BITList] cain gone

intelligence does matter in the long run, but bullshit baffles brains and you can fool a lot of the people a lot of the time – but slowly it dawned upon many of cain’s followers that herman was basically a rather clever fool – but a fool never-the-less. the credentials of a pizza franchise ceo do not necessarily produce a successful presidential candidate.

I think every run up to a general election we get the delusional dipping their toes into the presidential stream – trump. bachmann, the pilsbury dough boy [newt gingrich], etc. egged on by the folks who have been wooed by their picture of the promised land.

luckily only one such fool has been elected during my stay here and that was bush 43. however, he was not your run-of-the-mill idiot, but had money, texas and his dad behind him – so he got away with a lot more than say, herman cain could.

however, we have seen what 8 years of a fool in the white house can produce for not only the USA, but much of the rest of the world.

Colin,

Never mind his slow mind when he was asked about Iraq.  Or doesn't intelligence count in the States ?

Republican Candidate Herman Cain Will Suspend His Presidential Campaign

Republican candidate Herman Cain said that he was suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination to avoid news coverage that is hurtful to his family. Mr. Cain’s announcement came five days after an Atlanta-area woman claimed she and Mr. Cain had an affair for more than a decade, a claim that followed several allegations of sexual harassment against the Georgia businessman. Mr. Cain, whose wife stood behind him on the stage, made the announcement before several hundred supporters gathered at what was to have been the opening of his national campaign headquarters.Mr. Cain had surged in polls until news surfaced in late October that he had been accused of sexual harassment by two women during his time as president of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.
