The interesting thing is this: if Cain is truly finished and if his campaign is faltering like everyone says, why bring this up now? Wouldn’t be irrelevant for a failing candidate?
They want Cain dead and buried.
This is gutter politics of the worst kind. They couldn’t prove he was a sexual assailant so now they smear him with private affairs, true or not. We’ve had years of not looking into anything about Obama’s past. The spin will be “well we don’t care about a consensual affair but this proves he chases women so the other stuff is probably true”. Once that is accepted by everyone they can easily knock off Newt as we know for sure he has had affairs and God knows what we don’t know yet.
They want to make sure that he isn't considered as a VP by anyone or is in any way able to build on this campaign as a way to run for the House or Senate. Plus, should he be around and considering another run for the nomination in 2016, they want as much dried mud on the wall as possible to come back and dig at as if it were a fact. They put it out now and people don't believe it or they doubt it. Four years from now they can refer to these things as if they were proven facts and a lot of people who now doubt them will just assume that they were proven somewhere along the way because they'll only vaguely remember the specifics.
That's the thing about the democrat fascists, they always have the current plan, the intermediate range plan, and the long range plans in sync. They have a systematized way of not only slandering people but of building on the slander over time even if it never gains any traction when it was first put out before the public. Look at the number of things you hear fascist democrats talking about as if they are a fact when in reality they were never anything other than a lame conspiracy theory at best. Professional propagandists know how to play to human psychology and know that something just barely planted today can be watered over time and eventually be accepted by fact even by those who laughed at it initially.
If you want to understand American democrats, don't read up on the usual communist oriented movements, read up on the fascist socialists in Italy and Germany before WWII. Especially the development of German propaganda from the time Hitler was released from prison to the first few months after the Reichstag Fire incident.
