GOP presidential contender Herman Cain's initial response to yesterday's allegation that he had a long term extra marital affair was an emphatic denial. Then a statement from his lawyer seemed to back away from the denial claiming "private, alleged consensual conduct between adults...is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public." Now Mr. Cain's chief of staff has confirmed that the candidate is reassessing whether to stay in the race and will make his final decision "over the next several days." If that decision is to abandon his bid for the nomination, will it really be because of that alleged affair or could this latest sex scandal be giving an unqualified candidate an excuse to get out before he spectacularly implodes on the national stage?

From a Cain Volunteer:
I was on a conference call at 11:15am this morning with Herman Cain himself, where he explained to us that, once again, the accusations against him are COMPLETELY FALSE. He ALSO explained that he is NOT considering dropping out of the campaign, despite what the media is reporting. The campaign is moving forward as planned. Additionally, he shared that Ginger White WAS a friend of his (and his wife...’s) and she was a struggling unemployed single mom who received several eviction notices due to being unable to pay her rent. So being the good man that he is, Mr. Cain helped her out financially as a FRIEND, as he has done for other friends in the past. This is what you get for being a good person in this country. Isn’t that freakin’ great!?
Ginger White’s track record - she filed for bankruptcy, has had several eviction notices with the most recent one being this past month, she’s had lawsuits against her for stalking and for LIBEL, she accused a past employer of sexual harassment which was settled out of court, her EX stated he wouldn’t put it past her to make false accusations against anyone for money, her lawyer is a left-wing Democrat and an Obama supporter who has donated over 4k to his campaign, etc.
Does none of this matter to anyone!?
I personally have ZERO respect for ANYONE so narrow-minded that they’ll give ANY amount of consideration or credibility to ANY of these UNFOUNDED accusations. How can people be so easily led and influenced by the media?? Whatever happened to INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY? Do we not have minds of our own??
Honestly? All this does is make me support even more.
And is it just me?? Or does it seem absolutely INSANE that anyone would run for POTUS if they knew they had something THIS HUGE to hide!? I’d like to believe Cain is much smarter than that.
Instead of allowing this UNPROVEN crap to influence our support of Mr. Cain, maybe we should fight it with everything in our being with articles like the one below, which of course is not getting nearly the media attention as all the false accusations.

The Dems didn’t like a black conservative so they had to come up with something. The ole “Your a racist!” thingy probably would fall flat. We all know how a serial adulterer would fare with the evangelicals. Him being a preacher just makes it better. They just had trouble finding someone to take the money that wasn’t already unemployed and serial sexual harassment filers. If there was only some proof.
Whoever the GOP nominee is, he will be destroyed the very same way. This has been going on a month now, and I still haven’t seen one single piece of evidence of any wrong-doing. No receipts, no ticket stubs, no Hallmark cards, nothing. Phone records? Sixty calls/texts over 13 years? I know guys who call their ex-wives with more frequency.
All you need is a couple unstable women willing to make false allegations against Newt, Perry or Romney, and a media which doesn’t demand substantiation, and presto! Your candidate is toast now, too...
I agree and am beyond frustrated by this fact. If it is this easy to destroy a Republican candidate then no Republican can ever win, no matter how circumspect his behavior has been. One big completely unsubstantiated lie, usually accompanied by tears and Gloria Allred acting all self-righteous on behalf of her new client and Herman Cain or any other Republican presidential candidate is finished? Why bother to field a Republican candidate at all if the DNC just have to dig up some acquaintance from the candidate's past, pay them enough to get them to lie and claim they were sexually harassed or had an 'affair' with the candidate sometime in the past, and America just accepts this as fact with no real questions asked? The Communists Democrats will win everything and finish destroying our great nation?
It's discouraging to the point that my interest in politics is fast waning. However, I'm not quite ready to abandon my country to the leftists that hate it and want to turn it into a failed European Nanny State. I remain ensconced on the 'Cain Train' - for as long as it keeps running. However, I'm also re-thinking my support of Michele Bachmann, even Rick Santorum because I won't vote for Romney under any circumstances and, frankly, I don't completely trust Gingrich and can easily see him savaged with the same kind of 'scandals' that Herman Cain is enduring, now. Fake 'scandals' that I hope Mr. Cain can surmount but that, realistically, could derail the 'Cain Train'.
From Lolly Winne, a well-known Cain volunteer:
“I was on a conference call at 11:15am this morning with Herman Cain himself, where he explained to us that, once again, the accusations against him are COMPLETELY FALSE. He ALSO explained that he is NOT considering dropping out of the campaign, despite what the media is reporting. The campaign is moving forward as planned. Additionally, he shared that Ginger White WAS a friend of his (and his wife’s) and she was a struggling unemployed single mom who received several eviction notices due to being unable to pay her rent. So being the good man that he is, Mr. Cain helped her out financially as a FRIEND, as he has done for other friends in the past.”
When asked what the reassessment was about - Winne replied, “I was on the call, I did not hear the words “REASSESS THE CAMPAIGN”, I heard, ‘we need to assess the situation (the damage) over the next couple of days and continue to MOVE FORWARD.’ He said NOTHING about considering to drop out. He didn’t even INSINUATE it.”
It does seem like with all their money, the democrats could at least buy a woman WITHOUT all the baggage to claim these sexual charges against Cain....
Bachmann piled on Cain today over these lies. She’s a conniving...loser.
Another angle here is that Cain was engaging in private charitable giving. Personal philanthropy.
Government today would have us do away with charity altogether and rely on the government redistributing wealth as it prefers. That's why the Democrats went after President Bush's faith-based initiatives.
Democrats would rather do away with personal charitable giving, because the people get to decide to whom the wish to give, just as Cain has done in this situation.

Herman Cain is a millionaire and I doubt the money he gave this woman amounted to much. His enemies are wording it to make it sound like something sinister when it very likely was nothing of the kind. That you chose to use FR as a vehicle to keep the negativity against Cain going is unfortunate.
Excellent post!
Truly excellent summary of what has been going on here. Thanks for putting it together so succinctly.
Cain is innocent until proven guilty. The Media and Democrats are guilty until proven innocent. (which will never happen, so don’t get any ideas,lol).
I saw the phone records with all the phone calls and text messages and this is the dead give away that this is a set up.
Why hasn’t this women shown just one of these steamy text messages? The obvious answer is they don’t exist.
Cain needs to get the records of these text massages between him and her and if there is nothing going on it would destroy this story and also end the attacks on him.
It’s 61 calls and/or texts, TO OR from the supposed Cain number.
She has been accused, in a court of law, of stalking by phone and text messaging.
We don’t know if those 61 were 60 TO Cain FROM her, and 1 reply saying “Leave me the hell alone,” or 60 FROM Cain and 1 from her.
Be careful with the media’s careful use of words.
The ones who are giving Cain hell on here obviously have an agenda...otherwise, why else would they be so ignorant. Cain has faced these allegations for one reason only...because he was the ONLY candidate the Democrats feared. The MSM has been VERY quiet about Newt...for good reason. He will get destroyed in the generals. This race ain’t over folks...when Newt’s view start playing out, people will see him for who he really is. BTW, most polls have Cain in a close 3rd...he is closing on Romney. This could be a 2 man race soon...and Mitt won’t be one of those.
Bottom line: Cain has admitted to no wrong doing. I really wish you kool-aid drinkers for other candidates would get a clue. But then again, I guess you all know so much.
Go Cain!
They aren’t ignorant. They are color-challenged.
Take a look at these polls, and vote if you haven’t already:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2813675/posts
We’ll run another poll in a week or so.
What gets me is....there has been no proof presented that Cain had anything but a friendship or acquaintance with this woman. Supposedly 61 calls or texts are on her phone. Whoopty doo! 61 calls OR TEXTS does not an affair make. That’s not even a call a month!
This thing reeks of leftist ssdd tactics to me.
I agree.
Can we really afford to be that picky now? I saw these same type of responses from ‘supposed’ conservatives back in 2006, which gave us Pelosi and Reid....and the mortgage loan industry collapse, which dominoed into the housing collapse. And again in 2008....saying they would stay home rather than vote for McCain. And that got us what and where? To the disaster we are now in under Obama and his leftist cabal.
So you guys are going to pull the same stupid stunt this next election again....just cause you can’t get the Rep of your choice in there?
Great. Then might as well just suspend elections and hand it all over to the America-hating leftists now....cause that’s what your decision to NOT vote AGAINST Obama next year will equate to....AGAIN.
Ooops...sorry, chilepup. My response was meant to address another freeper that said he wouldn’t vote next year if he had to vote for Romney.
My question to him and people that think that way is....how is handing the country over to Obama AGAIN going to save us from certain destruction? It’s not. Our only hope is if EVERY conservative or non-leftist votes against Obama next year, no matter WHO is the damned Rep candidate. We can worry about the sordid details of that win later....after Obama and his leftists are voted OUT.
We no longer have the luxury or option to be that choosy/picky. It’s down to the life or death wire now.
