"At the press conference it was brought up that Karen Kraushaar had come out as one of the women, and we've come to find out that her son works at Politico," Block said.

Kraushaar told CNN Tuesday that she accused Cain of sexual harassment when he led the National Restaurant Association in the late 1990s. Details of her case emerged through her lawyer last week, but she refused to go public at the time.

Remember when Cain said his ignorance on policy would be made up for by his first-class crack staff?????

Being confused... that could happen to any one. Of course when Obama was in political trouble, he threw people under the bus. Never seemed to hurt him.

OH MY GOSH! A MISTAKE!!!

Good thing 0bama’s never done anything like that, say thinking there were 57 states, that “Austrian” is a language, or that corpsman is pronounced “corpse-man”. I’m sure I’m missing many, and that was from the head honcho not a staffer.

No one and nothing is perfect. Cain is by far the best choice left standing in the Republican field, and his presser yesterday did nothing but solidify that. Further, his “weakness on policy” is fairly limited to foreign policy, and I’m sure he’ll have plenty of help there...

Who’s your first choice, if I may ask?

Yup. People get things wrong. I don’t expect exacting perfection. I do expect integrity, honesty and accountability.

I dug deeply into this, and couldn’t find any connection. If they are related, it goes back generations.

To preface this, I am still a HUGE Cain supporter, but my post is about Block...

This Block guy is looking like a real liability. This is a pretty easy thing to verify, but he didn’t. Either that or this is an eeeevil conspiracy and the guy lied to Block that he was the son but then tells the truth when it became public. I seriously doubt that, though.

This is not merely a mistake. It is gross negligence. And it does harken back to accusing the Perry staff member of being behind the original harassment story.

Block falsely links Cain accuser with reporter

So, let me see if I understand the CNN propogandists correctly.... The lying, socialist-loving media makes a false or unsubstantiated accusation against a conservative - good; a conservative’s staff member makes a false or unsubstantiated accusation against a liberal media scumbag - bad.

I think the left is playing this brilliantly. They are tarnishing Cain's image, AND goading the conservative base into digging in their heels and supporting him come what may. The more money and emotion they invest in him, the harder it becomes to fold. And if he wins the nod, it becomes a situation where Obama can actually win re-election.

I see all the time the sentiment--"don't let the left pick our candidate." But the people who say that seem to underestimate the ability of the left to manipulate. Like they don't know how to deke out an opponent, and only know how to attack.

The GOP and its base are in bad shape. That's how we got Obama, and that's how we might get him again. The Tea Party is high on principle, and very low on sense.

The Left wants you off track. Can’t print this link because of rules. It is about this woman.

http://news.yahoo.com/ap-exclusive-accuser-filed-complaint-next-job-080946066.html

The main thing is this woman. I had a co worker just like her. She was smart and pretty much got the job done;however, she was a nightmare to employers and employees. She conned and sued everything to get what she wanted. Their minds are warped. She not only sued at work she sued outside of work on personal things. Glad to see her go.

How quickly and easily will it be for Obama to take down Romney? I could do it. There is a very good reason for taking out Cain. Obama is very good and destroying his competition, Chicago-style.

If you’re looking for the perfect candidate... will never happen. Sure, Cain is human. But I knew that when I read about his press conference yesterday. He’s been put through the wringer. If you wonder why decent people don’t go into politics, its because our vetting process focuses on the trivial and the irrelevant. A year from now people are not going to remember this kind of stuff. Our election cycles repeatedly pander to the lowest common denominator - the perfect breeding ground for the John McCains and Mitt Romneys of the GOP.

It’s not the candidate; it’s the dirtiness of people that are capable of doing this kind of thing to other people. The people they use to help are usually sick in the head with many problems. I will never forget what Justice Thomas went through.

Obama is no better at it than anyone else. Obama is not a God. He is just a nasty little coward.

I might shed some tears if the accusers weren’t the biggest liars doing what they are doing with the Axlerod touch.

Who cares, if the assorted sleazbag women and their spawns get some unfounded stuff lobbed their way.

Cry me a big ole river.

Geesh.

yep, this is how Obama wons his elections in the past, he cleared the field so he would walk to the nomination.
