.... the left has a well established pattern of attempting the personal destruction of anyone who seems ready to take up the Reagan mantle with conservatives. Of course they also have a long established pattern of character assassination against women and blacks who dare step off the left's political plantation.

Double whammy for Cain. He's black and supported by conservatives... he has shown that "teflon" attribute of Reagan when it comes to ideas and policies... so now the politics of personal destruction begin.

Hey LG... its because he's black, right? This is absolute proof that the left is institutionally racist, right?

So, the left had something to do with paying these two women a massive dose of hush money back in the day?

Let's be honest, if these facts were brought up about BHO or any other Dim candidate, the right would be ALL OVER IT. This is an irrefutable fact.

Respectfully, please don't let your politics get in the way of reality. It's an obstacle that he'll have to overcome.

Also, since SJT is blaming the left for this mud-slinging, it was The Politico that broke this story (not exactly a left-wing publication).

I am sure that the CEO of Politico thinks the same thing, even though he was with Reagan for twenty years...

Maybe the individual journalist is leftist and his previous columns in the National Review were just aberrations...

So, where was the Politico during the John Edwards scandal?

We can certainly make a decent argument that the established press wasn't all that interested in vetting Obama, but this is the kind of thing that usually comes up once you enter the political arena. It is just the way it is for both political parties.

If Cain ever held the belief that this would not surface in a Presidential Campaign, then he has severely limited foresight and poor judgment. Those are not characteristics I want in the POTUS.

If he wasn't ready for this he is not ready to be POTUS. I agree.

as a whole Politico leans further to the left than right.

Funny, because Media Matters says the exact opposite. It is also somewhat counterintuitive to think that Fred Ryan would run such an operation.

This is not a hit from the left; it is a hit from the Republican establishment.

Why? The story was broken by the National Enquirer, a tabloid magazine.

So, you expect the Politico to break every story? I was suggesting that you search the Politico archives to see what was written once the story had broken.

Media Matters is not a litmus test - it's laughable you could bring them up in such a way.

Also funny how you think Politico is some kind of representation of the Republican establishment. Fred Ryan can be a staunch conservative for all I care, but the leanings of the actual stories are certainly far from it.

I expect that if they're going to break a story that they do a little better than the story they published. The story is filled with "allegations" from "various" and "anonymous" sources who are "vaguely familiar" with the events. The National Enquirer caught Edwards in the act. Somehow the press pool following his every move missed his indiscretion.

If this is the most dirt they have on Cain, he's in pretty good shape. Story was weak, IMO.

Are you advocating that major media conduct business the same way as tabloids and paparazzi?

When the tabloids are breaking stories with actual evidence to back up their claims (as opposed to publishing hit pieces), then yes.
