Rich powerful Black Republican molests white woman who just wants to feed her kids

Pretty close, but let's put it in democrat-speak: "Sexually hyped up Tea Party Negro rapes white woman, threatens her livelihood and her children's food.

I’m with you. I’ve got serious reservations about Cain— his experience with Washington, foreign policy, and congress.

How will his business experience work when he gets there? Yes, we say we want more business experience in Washington, but I think your average congressman could outsell any peddler. They’re born crooks and they have two centuries worth of tactics in reserve.

If you don’t know the lay of the land, you will be eaten alive. Even if they like you. And they hate Cain.

The Strumpet with the Trumpet is not credible. The Dems must be at the bottom of the barrel if she’s the best they can do. They’re hoping that with a little putty, some powder, Elton John glasses and plenty of hair will obscure her enough that they can sell her. They’re pretty good, but not that good. You just know a slut when you see one, and she’s going to be studied. I don’t see how they can’t know this.

So the thought occurs: what if the strategy has a twist we can’t see from here? What if this bedraggled, used-up nag is merely a goad to prod a reaction solidifying support for Cain. They may be calculating that Cain cannot carry the general election? Get Cain in, they might figure, and then shred him on foreign policy, environmental, race, military policy, while painting him as a mean Oreo robber baron.

I’ll watch this play out and cast my vote in the primary.
Till then I’m keeping my options open; I’d suggest everyone else do the same.

Since her statement was clearly scripted for her, it was probably written by Axelrod-- or some other obamanoid creature of the nominally male persuasion.

Settlements were paid, so all of these stories couldn’t have been made up. Did they make up the stories 14 years ago to discredit a possible run by Hermon for the Presidency now?

Only one woman filed formal charges against him and her charge was found baseless and she was given termination pay by the NRA and dismissed.

Did you listen to her story? It’s absolutely absurd. Bet in the next few days it gets picked apart. But just for starters: Her boyfriend suggested she go to the CEO of a company she was let go of to help her find a job. Why would she do that? She had no idea whether he’d be in town, have other appointments, etc., but she goes anyway. Boyfriend pays for room (doesn’t go with her...he sends girlfriend off with his blessing ALONE to deal with a man). She doesn’t call first to make an appointment, and evidently has his private number (like some low level fired staffer would). This CEO with other REAL obligations doesn’t tell her to call HR. No, he offers to have dinner with her.

Now, somehow he manages to upgrade her room to a suite. We don’t know why because at this point they’ve not connected at all except some supposed phone call not through his office. But lets forget that for a minute. Oh, and let’s leave aside for a minute that in his entire career there were never any other problems except this one institution. No pattern of behavior, nothing. So, back to this job date that she, an employee let go for doing such a piss poor job, managed to get with the CEO. Lucky for her because she already had the room booked. They go for drinks. Then they go to dinner.

Now they get done with dinner (Lord knows how he drove because they’d been drinking for a while now) and are on their way to somewhere. Evidently it’s not to the upgraded suite (it does sort of beg the question, why did he upgrade it, it’s not like he planned on using it for sex). No, why go to a beautiful, romantic suite with room service and everything else you could want to impress a girl. Besides, she’s so stupid she’s not going to tell this man she barely knows she’s going to stay in her original room. Still, he drives to somewhere and parks the car. Perhaps it’s more exciting when both are uncomfortably contorted in a car. Okay, they’re parked.

He, for whatever reason sticks his hand up her dress and touched her “genitals”. For the record, I’m a woman and I’ve never used genitals when talking about myself. Maybe she’s a hermaphrodite and thus plural would be appropriate. While he’s doing that he bends her head down toward his crotch. Her response wasn’t “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!” It wasn’t to jump out of the car. No, she’s so relaxed and secure in a situation most women would be terrified to find themselves in regardless of how much they drink, her response is “You know I have a boyfriend”. Keep in mind, this is a woman who had no qualms about sleeping with a married man and having his love child. Oh, and she asked him to stop and take her back to the hotel. He did.

Then she goes home and tells boyfriend who paid for said trip for her to go to DC which is beyond absurd since the logical thing would be to call and set up an appointment, not arrange a dinner date. Now, she tells boyfriend she was assaulted, harassed, molested, whatever by Cain. She’s too embarrassed to give details. To her boyfriend. Who she’s close enough to have him pay for a rather expensive trip just for the possibility of getting the attention of the president of the company who isn’t responsible for hiring and firing. Keep in mind the details are only that he wanted her to have oral sex, she said “no” and that was the end of it.

Now, with or without details her boyfriend is so unconcerned he doesn’t call and confront the guy, doesn’t call the association, nothing. Oh, and she also tells some other guy. But a decade and a half later she decides to come forward with a story about a man (who at the worst stopped when she said no) who assaulted her until she said she didn’t want to. Both men sign affidavits that no one has seen. They aren’t questioned either even though they’re supposed to be her proof. Of course no one knew about this meeting so we’re all supposed to believe a bimbo with a checkered past and who doesn’t really have a history of being Miss Pure.

Oh, and there’s also her current boyfriend who also supports her. She only told him when she was on her way to NY, but that’s okay. She’s engaged to a guy, been living with him for 4 years and she doesn’t tell him about an event so traumatic she even remembers what power suit she was wearing (even if the rest of the details are vague). Lucky for all of us, she’s suddenly been empowered to speak for women who were in a totally different situation than her. At least she’s not embarrassed anymore. Whew! And we’re supposed to buy this. Sure.

Your rationale is only credible if you honestly believe that the left will not use similar tactics on whoever ends up as the Republican nominee.

Romney will likely never survive an assault from the Obama camp and the MSM, and neither will any of the other Republican hopefuls running for office.

In any event, the left will do whatever it takes to set up the 2012 race to further their agenda whether Obama wins or loses. They would be ecstatic if they could convince their opponents to nominate Romney or Huntsman. It then won't matter if Obama wins or loses as the marxist agenda will advance.

And the current boyfriend who supports her has been looking for work since October.

They are both out of work and she has legally enforced debts.

And she winds up with Gloria Allred.

Why didn’t she tell her boyfriend?

Allred is saying (hearsay, of course) that the 1997 boyfriend was told at the time and is now corroborating her account. She did not divulge the name of the boyfriend, nor did she issue an actual statement from him.

This is where the story will fall apart. If this person exists, then he will eventually be identified and questioned. Now consider the accuser's statement. She says her boyfriend is the one who recommended that she see Cain about a job. Now think of that same boyfriend's reaction when she returns and tells him that Cain, the person he recommended she see, sexually assaulted her. What would you do if you had been in his shoes at the time?

When this guy is found and questioned, the entire story will begin to crumble. He has no defense for not doing something about it at the time.

Does she have a motive to lie? (??????)

For the record, I think Cain is done, but I must say, that if they can fully discredit this "new" woman, it just may inoculate him against all further claims, and even the past ones. Gloria might have just pushed it one case too far.

Thank you for putting into words half of the things wrong with her story. It just come close to passing the smell test.

Last time the rats tried to lynch a black man and slander him with the racist hypersexual stereotype, he called them out on it and stood his ground. He was placed on the Supreme Court for life as a result. I would advise Cain to take the same course.

I want Cain to start tomorrow's presser by mentioning one free grope, and it's only about sex, and their ignoring credible rape charges. Then I want him to tell the press he will answer all of their questions when there have been the same number of stories about Obama's oral sexcapades as there have been about Cain's alleged harassment. Tell the press and the American people to look up Larry Sinclair, a man Barrack Obama had engaged in sex with. Thank them for their time and leave.

I'm still with Cain and Newt over the rest. They really don't offer anything comparable in the whole picture. Perhaps if you can find time it might be your worth to watch Newt at a recent Heritage symposium.. here.

I agree. The more this woman talked, the more she buried herself.

I have been made aware of an error in one of my posts. I wrongly labeled the poster who created this thread a Perry supporter. It has been called to my attention by a Perry supporter that the poster I referred to is not a Perry supporter but possible a Santorum supporter. I stand corrected and thank the Perry supporter for pointing out my error.

Carry on.
