One complainant can be denied. Two starts to raise any eyebrow. If more documented claims come out then Cain is finished.
You’d have to understand the nature of the allegations, have some insight into their veracity, and judge the merits, before it would matter how many of these there were.
If Cain ran his association such that it simply paid off people who made false allegations, there could be dozens and it wouldn’t mean anything, other than if you were concerned that the leader of an organization would allow employees to take payoffs for false accusations, and wouldn’t know it was happening. But that’s a different charge than the allegations themselves.
Respectfully, I disagree. The left has made a habit of re-introducing old charges with fraudulent assistance from left-leaning "victims," to discredit conservative candidates.
Given the well-documented mistreatment of, or misadventures with women by democrat luminaries -- Clinton & Kennedeys, for example -- which democrats themselves willingly ignore, the evidence would have to be VERY strong to make me stop supporting Cain over this.
In short, the democrats' established pattern of fraud in this area is enough to rain doubt over any accusation.
Wow talk about believing everything the liberals say... Are you usually this dim?
If I’m understanding this correctly, this was one alleged event, with both women present. Something about a business trip, in a hotel? So it’s one alleged story, not two separate potential harrassments.
Not with me. I remember Clarence Thomas’s ordeal. Dirty politics are typical of the Left.
As Fox News pointed out, the mere fact that there were “two” women doesn’t mean there were two separate cases. It could have been a one-time thing, where two women were present at the same time, and they both jumped on the “gimme a check” bandwagon.
I witnessed exactly this thing happen last summer. My boss was in an office with two women, the door was wide open, and there were other people in the hallway. Both women in that office hated my boss, but he didn’t realize the extent of their hatred until later. One of the women was pregnant, and he made a comment to the effect of, “How’s the baby? Have you picked a name yet? Maybe you could name him Frank. Frank is a good name.” Frank was my boss’s name (fictional name for this story).
The pregnant woman took EXTREME offense to that, because she hated him so much. She accused him of being inappropriate, and that his comment implied that they had had sex! She found that thought so repugnant that she retained a LAWYER!! And she had the “witness” because of the other woman.
My boss nearly got run off, even though his comment was intended to be friendly in nature. Both of those women were absolutely useless as employees, and should have been dismissed long ago because of their horrible work performance. They knew it, and there were massive layoffs coming, so they used this to keep their jobs for several more weeks (until the project ended). My poor boss had to put up with their superior attitudes during that time because they had a lawyer.
Women can be extremely vicious, and Men are always on the defensive when it comes to these things. It’s always “guilty until proven innocent” in these cases.
No, what should be raising eyebrows is that this was raked up by the creep who camped out next door to spy on Palin and her children. More eyebrow raising at the timing it hit the wires when Cain out polled Perry in Texas. And the big double eyebrow raise coinky-dink is that Cain is a real black man, who is a real conservative, who really speaks his mind, who is the real deal and who has a real chance of taking this thing away from the boy won-der.
