And I almost like the guy because I think he's being treated unfairly.
Now a 5th woman has come forward and she's saying "she was uncomfortable" because he invited her to dinner. Come on, this is silly.
The woman who came forward with Alred is the only one who made claims he tried to do anything physical and I don't believe she is all that credible.
However, the damage has been done. Cain is twisting in the wind. One day he says he's done responding to these allegations and then the next day he's saying he's going to take them on head on. From the beginning Cain has done him self no favors by changing his story on a daily basis and throwing out unsupported allegations of his own.
Cain would be a disaster as the Pub nominee. He has shown no interest in understanding issues involving foreign policy. He has had so many qualifiers in his statements on social issues, especially Pro-Life, that no one can reasonably say they understand what his position really is. He did not think through his economic plan, an area that is supposed to be a strength, and then began changing it on a weekly basis. He has not responded well to the sexual harassment allegations and has shown no message discipline, or that he has ever thought out a coherent strategy for dealing with the allegations.
I don't like Cain. I think he is a jerk and can't help but see the irony in a man being brought down by the same tactics he used against others. However, I hate the tactics and think they are despicable.
Truly I cannot say a disparaging word about Cain's accusers without making myself a hypocrite for compiling for display and thus besmirching the sources of many disparaging words about Juanita Brodderick, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey and others on the Downside Legacy.
Like Bialek, the main evidence for Juanita Brodderick's claim was that she told five other people at the time it happened. And Bialek has a similar appearance to Gennifer Flowers and a financial record similar to Paula Jones. And most everything Kathleen Willey had to say was a "she said" to which the Democrat machine was a "he said."
It is however apparent to me that this "politics of personal destruction" is coming from the liberal side and the media, but I repeat myself.
Indeed accusing conservatives of moral turpitude appears to be part of the Democrat general campaign strategy.
They must be very much afraid of Cain to do this much of it so early in the election cycle.
The objective I believe is to have Obama run against Romney. I imagine they have files of late night talk show jokes to make a mockery of Romney at the expense of the LDS, e.g. sacred underwear, "white and delightsome".
They probably believe that Obama would easily win because Romney could no more recover from mockery than Howard Dean and would be stuck with ridicule-as-truth much like Palin was with the claim that she could Russia from her house.
Sadly, many of the youngers out there - who Obama needs to get reelected - think Jon Stewart is a journalist.
