Politico's Martin Dodges Question On Cain Details
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/31/2011 5:31:12 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Herman Cain has been taking heat for his response to questions about Politico's story on alleged sexual harassment. But today on Morning Joe, it was Politico's own Jonathan Martin, lead author of the story, who was being evasive about the details of the allegations against Cain.

Incredibly, when Willie Geist asked him to describe specifically what Politico is accusing Cain of having done, Martin hemmed, hawed then ultimately said "we're just not going to get into the details of exactly what happened with these women," beyond the sketchy generalities in the Politico story.

RE :"It is not a matter of RINOs learning. They are demrat controlled. When a RINO wins it is really a demrat party win."

And when a RINO has a Dem congress/assembly they can usually put him or her into a lose-lose situation on taxes by getting them to sign on to popular spending and then pick him off during the re-election for the deficits or taxes or both. That is what happened to Ehrlich as state bondholders supposedly threatened to lower the state credit rating.

Well Dude,

Were you happy that he was smart enough to have a press conference so ALL the major press was waiting with baited breath to tell the world the same things we deducted from the hit piece?

Oh, ye of little patience.

Obama beat Hillary for the nomination because he had the party’s super-delegates on his side, and because the DNC took Florida and Michigan out of the count for breaking the rules.

Cain is unlikely to have that kind of insider support. I don’t know how RNC rules may differ from DNC, but unless Cain gets a very clear mandate, which imho can only happen if Perry, Paul, Newt and the others drop out after the first 5 or 10 primaries, it may be a hard fought battle to win outright.

Perhaps this latest left move will worked badly against them. The voters are not fooled all the time. In the future debates between the Kenyan usurper and Cain, should he be the one chosen to run, Herman will put the issue to rest once and for all, for all American voters to see and hear with their own eyes and ears.

The Kremlin henchmen must work over time. Facts just get in the way.

Meanwhile FNC is reporting on Romney's lasted set of flop-flops (Climate Change being the big one) and The Morning Joe and Politico dont even consider that newsworthy. Brilliant Joe with politico are selling a liberal 'fake as a two dollar bill' flip-flopping Romney as a Republican savior.

CBS: The longer he runs for president, the more doubts Republican front-runner Mitt Romney seems to have about the science behind global climate change.

Politico went after Palin, called McCain senile and Perry stupid. Why should anyone take these silly, mean-spirited, lying, biased politicos seriously.

These people have no shame.

A few years ago the VP of our company asked me to stop by his room to help fix a presentation we had created. I hesitated, but then thought, “He’s the one at risk, not me. I guess I could sue him if something happened...”

But he’s been a really good reference for me, and hopefully I have some integrity. So to me it was no big deal.

On top of this, when this “broke” last night on Geraldo’s show, I asked my husband, “Do you think conservatives will be swayed or fooled by this? I don’t think we’re are all hung up on ‘harassment’? Isn’t that a liberal thing?”

I know of a person who works for a government agency in California who sued her employer TWICE for “sexual harassment” and won both cases. She was on the verge of doing it again with my husband as the next victim, when he transferred to another job. These suits are nothing but offensive job protection and money makers for the plaintiffs.

Yes these frivolous lawsuits are a plague against not only the private sector but also in the public sector against emergency responders.

Not only will private sector employers settle for what they consider chump change but the public sector employers -(the politicians)and YOU, (not by choice), settle due to fears of costly dragged out court trials.

In the case of private sector lawsuits, the employee named is the one that will have to live with it throughout his career and be saddled with a blot on his record. The stockholders are the victim of these bogus lawsuits.

In the case of the private sector the employee named is similarily affected, but in addition, the taxpayers are another victim of these bogus lawsuits.
