Who do you think "dropped the dime" on Herman Cain?
Perry? Romney? The two women?

Surely a Dem would be overjoyed to see Cain continue to spiral down. The fun is just too great.

So whodunit?

1. I'm thinking the RNC. They also spiked Perry's punch.

25. I still think it's the RNC as the reality show called the GOP Debates is a joke.

2. My money is on Mittens. Every time someone gets close, something comes out to end the climb.

4. I'm thinking Karl Rove. His type of operation, but no clues will link him.

33. Karl has been biding his time
and it's well known that he and the Bush family have wanted Perry out of the race for a long time. They backed Kay Bailey in the last governor's race in Texas. This is a Karl "rat fucking" operation for sure, just like the old days.

8. it seems a little early for an (R) to do it, why not wait until Iowa is just around the corner?



Maybe Bachmann, thinking she needs time to regain ground in Iowa.

15. Whoever produced this ad:

Honestly - that's one of the creepiest fucking looks I've ever seen on a person... I bet whoever filmed this was creeped out.

17. Rove or Koch Industries.
But since Rove was conveniently in Alaska when the story broke, I'll say Rove.

That might be a clue.

20. Rove.
When Cain won the straw poll over Perry in Florida, guess who went down there to direct the poll? Rove and Bush (Jeb) were all over that straw poll. I'm sure they had this info all ready to stop his rise if they needed it. Cain was used to get rid of Perry. Rove, Bush and their ilk want a mainstream candidate and they know that is Romney with the choices that are left.

This has Rove all over it.

31. I think you are all wrong.
It was................. are you ready for it? It was HERMAN CAIN!!!!!!! That's right, old Herman "Sugar" Cain did it hisself! Just like the quitter from Wasilla, he's in it only for the money. Hermie just wants to sell his books, and get speaking fees. If he actually has to run in the general election, it will take to much time away from his money making activities. And this way, he gets to blame it on his enemies "trying to keep a black man down". It's a win-win for pizza man, who if he was a serious candidate, would lose that fucking hat.

32. I'm sure there are any number of people out there who knew the story and don't like Herman Cain
for one reason or another. Imagine if you had an asshole boss or coworker who you could not stand and they were leading in the polls for the nomination of one of the two leading parties and you thought they were a horrible person and a shameless hypocrite with crazy ideas and you knew this information - would you not think about passing this info. along to someone so everyone would know?
