Im sorry, if this has been previously documented, and if it is true like that, then Cain is done. I dont care of Clinton got away with it, I have higher standards.

So with you, it is the seriousness of the charges and not the veracity of the matter that is important?

How about applying a "reasonable man" standard before lynching someone over your moral standards? Or is proving his guilt not nearly as important as being seen as "morally upright"?

I agree. I have supported Cain all the way, but I won’t vote for an adulterer if somehow this turns out to be true.

Ross Perot once fired one of his top guys at EDS when he discovered the man was cheating. The man was incredulous, reminding Perot how much he had done for the company.

Perot simply said, “If your wife can’t trust you, I can’t trust you”.

Presently, I have no reason to believe that Herman Cain cheated on his wife. This seems like a seek and destroy mission.

Well la-dee-da, why don't you run for President and attempt to save the country then? Apparently we need someone who has never done anything wrong.

Look, not one of us is without sin. How well would your entire life stand up under the media microscope?

I'm not saying that cheating on his wife is no big deal. I am saying that there are very few people who don't have something in their past that conservatives would deem unforgivable.

I would STILL rather have Cain than Romney. Or Obama, for that matter.

—I have higher standards.—

Me too. Unfortunately, my candidate was hung on a cross quite a while ago. He’s still around, but he’s not running for president.
