Actually I saw that. It actually flashed by so fast I couldn’t see anything but be that as it may, I don’t know whether you’ve ever had friends of the opposite sex or not, but I do. I text back and forth with my son’s best friend all the time. They’ve been friends since they were 12 through homeschool, soccer and the Marine Corps. We have some pretty racy teasing back and forth. I just sent one to my son a couple of days ago that said, “hey baby, you hot, sweet thang...” and his response to me was “awwww, mom!” So while this may be exactly what she says it is (though I think the biggest sin would be that someone with his money couldn’t attract a better class of whore). If it is then so be it. I’d just like to have at least the same amount of proof required to NOT convict Casey Anthony.

I don’t want just cell phone bills, I want to see the back and forth...how many were to and how many from. I want receipts, cards, gifts, plane reservations, etc. You don’t play hide the salami for 13 years and not have anything more than a cell phone bill. I’d bet if you checked Cain’s phone bill you’ll see a lot of numbers...text and phone calls. Probably some of the busiest ones are between supporters and campaign workers...probably a whole lot more than 60 (I text that much in just a couple of days with my sister).

The burden of proof is on the one making the accusation. And I’m just unwilling to see someone’s reputation ruined because without a higher burden of proof. You know, I’m 52 years old but there’s one thing from high school I’ll never forget. There was a girl in school named Becky. She was sweet but very shy and quiet. Somewhere along the way people decided she was a slut and she was viciously teased and ridiculed. Every guy “had” her. Except they hadn’t. But boy everyone thought they had proof and every guy said Becky was a notch on his belt. Got knocked around a couple of times by girls who thought she’d slept with their boyfriends. One day we all came to school and found out she’d killed herself. The sad part is everyone realized it wasn’t true when it was too late. That has stuck with me all this time. It was a hard lesson, but most hard for Becky’s family.

This kind of thing without solid evidence is just the same. It’s not just Herman Cain, but his family. His wife, kids & grandkids. If it’s true, shame on him but not one of us is in high school anymore and we should be adult enough to require solid proof before dragging someone through the mud. So, I don’t have “little blinders” on, I’d just like a bit more proof than a phone bill, especially when she had a restraining order from stalking once before.
