"Trust, but verify"

In what could be a devastating blow to Herman Cain’s Republican presidential bid, Atlanta businesswoman Ginger White gave an interview to Good Morning America on Wednesday in which she divulged new details of her alleged 13-year-long affair with the candidate and panned Cain's suitability to be president.
“I can’t make this up,” White said. “And frankly speaking, I wouldn’t want to make this up.”
White said that Cain took her to a Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield boxing match in the late 1990s, and said that the former president of the National Restaurant Association had given her money for “the last two and a half years consistently,” but that the money was “not sex for cash.”
White had previously alleged that Cain would fly her across the country and lavish her with gifts and expensive dinners. Cain denied the story, although White provided Fox 5 Atlanta, which broke her story, with phone and text-messaging records that detail dozens of correspondences — some very late at night — between White and Cain.
Cain claims White is looking to take advantage of their friendship for personal gain.
“I’m not sure what’s going on in his head right now,” White responded on Wednesday. “But it’s unfortunate that any of this is going on.”
White was asked if she thought Cain was fit to be president. “In my opinion, no I do not,” she said.
“I honestly do not think that he is, in my opinion, would make a good president, as far as I’m concerned. My views are different from his views, but at the end of the day this is not political – this is absolutely not political and I’ve never tried to make it out to be that,” said White.

I do not think you have a clue what, “Presidential,” looks like.
For me, it looks like a man who pays his own bills, is still married to the same wife, and has successfully salvaged in-trouble businesses.
It looks like a man who sees government as the problem, knows he does not know all the answers but is wise enough to surround himself with conservative talent.
What did you expect Axelrod and co. to do when threatened by Cain?
And should Cain—and I do not believe this—be found to have sadly fallen to temptaion of woment throwing themselves at him, he still will not approach the Lascivious appetites of the likes of Bill Clinton or John Kennedy.
No, Sir, I do not want someone who gets his opinion of a man from the popular media telling me that Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, or Rick Perry is not presidential.
I believed Cain against all the others that claimed harassment because he looked at them the wrong way.
But his desperate, single woman with her personal history who can produce cell calls and text messages is trouble for a man who is running for the presidential nominee of the party that is suppose have the better morals.
But wait, is this latest woman from Chicago too?
“People here are so wedded to Cain that if a video came out they’d swear it was doctored.”
No. But we would look at the source.
Do not, my friend, trust the Democrat/media complex to provide you accurate news.
I shoulod not have to tell you this.
“In my defense, however, and believe I am entitled to one under the law, I supported Cain when the first women came out.”
So Axelrod borght another, then another, and finally.....
How the libs are chortling at simple Conservatives.
We are so easy, it is not even a challengge for them.
Nope, we're suppose to expect more of Republican candidates.
...at least The National Inquirer isn't reporting Herman hiding a love child & paying off his mistriss with cash from a supporter.

Actually, it makes it appear that he's a compassionate Christian.
I agree....
Here is the question that needs to be asked and answered :
Was Cain’s wife aware of this 13 year friendship and Cain’s financial assistance to her?
If she was ....no problem
If she was out of the loop...... problem
Cain is an associate minister at a Baptist Church. Given this woman’s issues, she may well have been suicidal, for all we know. Is it such a leap to think that he was trying to help her?
You don’t deserve any, that’s why you won’t get any.
A person who has needed ‘financial help’ from a ‘friend’ for a number of years and who is being evicted for non-payment of rent isn’t the kind of EXPERT I would listen to about the qualifications of anybody to be ‘President’.
As I learned growing up: She needs to sweep her own back porch first. She has a long list of failures- business- employment- on & on.
In the next few days, her background will be open for all of us to browse.
IMO, she is trash. Certainly she is a hypocrite. She accepted financial help for a number of years from Herman Cain & now she throws him under the bus!!!
With ‘friends’ like that, who needs enemies???
We shall see. It tells me that, like Palin, somebody is paying a lot of money to dig dirt on this candidate. I wasn't a big fan of Cain in the past but this high tech lynching is making me take a second look now.
Doesn’t matter. He’s done and we Conservatives need to move on. We’ve got work to do before the election and that involves finding viable candidates to support who embrace our values.
The presidency is only part of it. There will be many local and state races that will need our help.
“phone and text-messaging records that detail dozens of correspondences “
And what do they say???”””
I talk to a friend in an adjacent state almost every day. he is very politically aware and we talk about lots of things.
He is older than I-—about 78 and I am 72——
He is married for over 50 years—
His wife knows I talk to him—(She hates politics)-—
IF anyone looks at our phone records, a nefarious reason for making them could also be concocted.
We do not have any kind of physical relationship and never have, nor either of us wish to do so. He doesn’t give me money & I don’t give him money-—for anything-——
We have known each other since about 1990.
Our main effort is to keep each other aware of political happenings, since he doesn’t use the internet & I don’t have pay TV, where so many comments are made.
Being trusting to a fault is still a fault.
Excellent question.
Exactly. You’re making my point.
Some of us actually do not believe in ditching people to serve our own purposes. Some of us actually believe in rallying around those we feel have been falsely maligned.
The again, there are others who turn on people in the blink of an eye. Those are the ones I don’t trust.
Is Mr. Cain done. Maybe. Unlike you and others, I will wait to see evidence before I make my decision. I feel this way about all the candidates.
Sorry to say but the S.S. CAIN is going down fast.
