Cain accuser says he's not fit to be president
The Hill ^ | November 30, 2011 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 11/30/2011 5:37:30 AM PST by maggief

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.

Herman Cain is SUPERMAN! Imagine juggling all of those women while fighting stage 4 colon cancer! He's the man...

All of this is such commie BS it's inconceivable it's considered newsworthy at all.

I stand by Herman Cain because: he is not a part of the entrenched elite political class; because his enemies are my enemies(and, you should consider them yours too if you are interested in personal liberty); because it’s just about his personal life; because the people don’t really care about this issue/s; because it’s just about sex; because his wife is on his side and stands up for him; because it’s just about sex, sex, sex(and everybody needs a little sex in his/her life); and, the people are just not interested except those who are trying to destroy Herman Cain; and, because everybody does it. Besides, it’s much the same as Bill Clinton got away with and is still around to impose on our lives.

Cain is simply not Presidential. And it shows.

By this, do you mean that anytime a conservative is being destroyed by the MSM, unless they prove to us all exactly when they stopped beating their wife they aren't presidential?

If you haven't learned by now that the MO of the MSM is to provide a false drumbeat of accusation against any candidate they fear, then you haven't been paying attention. It's the way they play the game, and for you (if you are really a conservative) not to have learned that is shameful.

I’m not a Cain supporter but,

let’s see the alleged plane tickets he purchased and the content of the text messages, etc.

A phone bill with numbers on it is not evidence of an affair.

The book signings, if anything, prove it wasn’t a sexual relationship.

So far, this is crap.

And....if it is all true, it is still crap. The media plays a double standard every time when it comes to human nature and Dems vs Reps, not that I am condoning infidelity.

JFK, Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Edwards, etc were never vetted SO rigorously as Herman Cain is now. The Democrat’s never fear that their leftist Alfa-Politicians can be taken out due to talk of infidelity, deviance,etc be it real or imagined. Yet this is our Achilles heel and a key tool that allows the media and the Democrats to chose our nominee’s. I am sure countless otherwise able Libertarian/Rightish Alpa’s never run for office due to remote female problems.

In this case, the attorney of the accuser claims they have text messages between them to prove the accuser's testimony. The accuser herself, is being treated as credible and is also a very good interviewer.

Cain is in deep trouble with this one. His campaign is over. Only he refuses to believe it.

I like Cain, but the fact that he’s cultivated a long-term friendship with this woman does make it appear he’s not a very good judge of character.

WOW— your reading comprehension needs a tad help...

My comment was directed at The Hill— their choice to make a headline news story out of this woman’s thoughts as if she is now a trusted political pundit.

Now— if I want to defend Herman, I would do that differently. I have the known the man for over 7 years. None of the stories printed about Herman and accusations from women fit his demeanor...other than trying to help out someone in financial trouble- that fits. But affairs or harassment allegations are pure BS in my opinion. And I happen to value the opinion of someone who has spent time with Herman, worked on projects with him, dined with him, etc.. over the opinions of people who have a purely financial or political agenda, or those in the media or forums who are just speculating....

but hey— what are the odds of you comprehending of what you just read?

The opposite of that is why or what did Cain see/like in such a person that he’d send support her way?

Because he is a kind, compassionate person?

Or are you one of those people who always tries to attribute the worst possible motives to other people?

A thirteen-year affair? Heck, sophisticated Europeans will be comparing him to François Mitterrand, leading the NYT to endorse him shortly.

Not attributing anything. Just trying to understand the relationship that has been brought forth. Compassion is certainly one motive amongst others.

“Anyone who would have an affair with me is unfit to be President.”

Well... probably truer than she meant, and in at least a couple of ways.

Right, and by proving your lack of class by blasting others with juvenile, romper room insults, is proof that you are superior in every way. Got it.....

It really doesn’t matter if they show that even one of them occurred in the middle of the night. One does not have a conversation with a casual family friend at that time.

She’s a skank who will forever be known as the woman who brought Cain down. It’s disgusting but it is what it is.
