Cain accuser says he's not fit to be president
The Hill ^ | November 30, 2011 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 11/30/2011 5:37:30 AM PST by maggief

In what could be a devastating blow to Herman Cain’s Republican presidential bid, Atlanta businesswoman Ginger White gave an interview to Good Morning America on Wednesday in which she divulged new details of her alleged 13-year-long affair with the candidate and panned Cain's suitability to be president.

“I can’t make this up,” White said. “And frankly speaking, I wouldn’t want to make this up.”

White said that Cain took her to a Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield boxing match in the late 1990s, and said that the former president of the National Restaurant Association had given her money for “the last two and a half years consistently,” but that the money was “not sex for cash.”

White had previously alleged that Cain would fly her across the country and lavish her with gifts and expensive dinners. Cain denied the story, although White provided Fox 5 Atlanta, which broke her story, with phone and text-messaging records that detail dozens of correspondences — some very late at night — between White and Cain.

Cain claims White is looking to take advantage of their friendship for personal gain.

“I’m not sure what’s going on in his head right now,” White responded on Wednesday. “But it’s unfortunate that any of this is going on.”

White was asked if she thought Cain was fit to be president. “In my opinion, no I do not,” she said.

“I honestly do not think that he is, in my opinion, would make a good president, as far as I’m concerned. My views are different from his views, but at the end of the day this is not political – this is absolutely not political and I’ve never tried to make it out to be that,” said White.

This is just the kind of thing you'd say if you were making it up.

All of this STUFF comes from the restaurant association, mark my words
someone on the other side has deep ties to the restaurant association.
Cain is a BLACK conservative we all know this just can not stand, they
will do anything and everything that needs to be done to bring this man
down. His family be damned, nothing matters except keeping all on the
plantation, their political lives depend on it!!!!!!!! PURE EVIL!!!!!!! Folks
this is the fight of our lives, I would walk through the fires of HELL for Cain
simply because he is black and I am sick to death of being called a
racist!!!!!!

Why do your think they didn’t specify the time? No one will be impresed by a call at eight pm, but say it was later at night and it might impress someone.

Well, that sentiment is what got Barak Obama elected.

We should stop basing our judgments on race.

The “nutz and slutz” Clinton defense is standard in cult of personality cases. You should not be surprised.

Imagine if ONE woman came out with this story but the male was Perry or Romney. Ya think she’d be called a whore?

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

My guess is someone made it up FOR her....she’s just happy to go along.

It was said about the blonde bimbo who cannot keep her boobs tucked into her shirt that it was more than likely SHE who made advances on Cain. Me thinks maybe this Ginger creature also had high, hopes of getting Cain under the covers and failed. That also pisses off some women, I’ve seen it happen....as probably all of you have.

I shouldn’t have come on this thread.

I’m sorry I did and I probably shouldn’t have made the posts I did.

I interrupted a worship service and that ain’t right.

See you elsewhere magritte.

A phone bill with numbers on it is not evidence of an affair.

It was shown in the courts the dolly doo was a telephone, text-message stalker.

How many of us receive text messages and emails in the middle of the night? If I'm awake I just respond to them. I don't check the clock to see if it is "an appropriate time."

Herman Cain is an associate minister. He is in the business of helping people become better people. (Our church calls them "miracles in motion.") Cain never fathomed that a friend asking for advice and financial help would use it against him.

I haven’t damned him to hell... I just don’t believe him on this woman thing.


That sentence alone says it all.

You don’t believe him. That negates the first part of the sentence and everything that follows.

If you were truly neutral, and your many many posts on another thread the night this story broke demonstrated that you are not neutral, you would wait to see documents, hotel records, etc.

Evil.

I thought our goal was to have a regular person become president,
If we don’t fight for what our founding fathers wanted our government
to be how in the hell are we ever going to have a government of the
people. Cain is exactly the kind of man we need to lead this country he
Is exactly what our founders envisioned. WHAT IS OUR GOAL.???
Other than beating Obama, I AM SICK OF POLITICIANS!!!!

This woman spends much of her time saying what the relationship was NOT, and little on what it was.

“not sex for cash.”

“I can’t make this up,” White said. “And frankly speaking, I wouldn’t want to make this up.”

“This was not a consistent love affair ...”

“When you enter into a ‘private’ relationship ... you ... don’t hold on to receipts .... gifts ... notes ... here’s my proof.”

The ability to judge character and surround yourself with people of good moral fiber is a very important thing to me when it comes to someone leading this country. At best, he has questionable judgement abilities.

Has the DNC found Cynthia’s replacement? I mean, if they’re looking for the most vacuous brained black female they can dig up, this female is pushing her faux creds.

When I see texts that are verified not to have been tampered with, they’ll mean something. Claims of texts means little untill yku show them.
As for taking her seriously, who is? The lame stream media? Now im laughing.

Look, I’ve already apologized for coming on this thread and expressing myself.

In my defense, however, and believe I am entitled to one under the law, I supported Cain when the first women came out.

If you are one of those people peculiar enough to check my posting history for the date the first story came out from Politico, you will see that.

I supported him through 3 women. So you can’t logically say that I was against him from the start because of prejudice.

I can’t support him through 6 women. Sorry about that, but I don’t think it makes me evil.

If you are in the field of helping those who are down and out, whether because of your job or just because you are a generous person, you are by that very fact dealing with people who do not have the same standards you have.

The people asking for help have one or more of all of the world’s failings..bad luck, alcoholism, drugs, bad choices in marriage (or lack of marriage), on and on.

You would do better to judge the man on the people he selected for his business projects.

I suspect they will be dragged out before this is over, that is if there are any really bad selections.

He must have made pretty good choices in business, as all of his projects turned out to be successful.

Even in business it is like a batting average.....you will not get a hit every time, much less a home run every time, but you have to get them when and where it counts.

why or what did Cain see/like in such a person that he’d send support her way?

Whatever you did for one of the least of these...

You just don’t get it.

It is not about support.

It is about tearing someone apart over unsubstantiated claims.

If she is able to prove it, tear into him all you want. Give him hell.

But until then, ask for proof in a form that is credible.
