I am sure his phone was lying on the dresser while he took a shower. And the early morning stuff is reported to be current, seems to me nothing more than black mail. Wonder how newts current wife was calling him when he was still married, was he running up the old jewelry charge account then as well.. was he giving jewelry to other hill staffers for services, shall we say provided, newts track record, I bet there was dozens of sexual harassment claims. Women paid off by tax payers and kicked up stairs.

Cain is done - next. The fact that he never told his wife speaks volumes.

[VinL]

I highly doubt you are smart enough to run for office. Since you can’t seem to catch on to the Forum protocol and courtesy rules.

You’re right. I’m not that smart, my friend. But smart enough to discern hypocrisy; and also smart enough to know your last comment is grammatically in error. -:)

[beandog]

You make me laugh. Everybody else who supports a candidate is some sort of unthinking “bot”. You, on the other hand, are the smart one who is only supporting their candidate because he is “capable and strong”. What an arrogant person you are.

[MHGinTN]

So bearing false witness is your style is it. Figures. Who is it again you think you’re supporting with this innuendo mongering?

[GlockThe Vote]

Support is one thing. Acting oblivious and in denial to obvious shortcomings that Obama would crush that person with is called delusion.

The Canebots have gotten more delusional as his shortcomings have gotten worse.

We need to defeat Obama and need to go with the strongest and best we can. Cain is a decent guy, a good guy, but he cant beat obama.

[stillafreemind]

Cain’s wife already said she would not do that.

[org.whodat]

Where is the false witness, a person that harasses normally has a track record and normally does it repeatedly. That is the fact I pointed out. Just look at the recorded of your pal bill clintoon.

If my husband were in a position to financially help out someone (male or female) in desperate straits I would not expect him to tell me or to explain. I know he’s done it in the past, and never questioned his motivations. Ever. Thank God when you are in a position to help someone.

“Mrs Tick would have Tick Junior stuffed, mounted and hanging on her(formerly our) mantel”....

LOL, NT. and I love your tagline.

[writer33]

The crime could be.... that you would ask such a question.

LOL! That's a good one.

[Yaelle]

Reading through the thread, most of you would dump him if he had cheated but not if he were truly innocent.

To me, I assume there was at some time a dalliance, but still would support him because the Dems get to keep their cheating spouse candidates without the anal exam; why can’t we? They said sex didn’t matter for Clinton, and they ignored all the evidence about Edwards and Obama.

But Herman should get out there and tell America that he’s caused pain in his marriage and give no details because it’s not our business, and smack the MSM for their double standard.

[Engedi]

With Cain bein a Minister at his church, I am so surprised that he didn’t protect himself more; like Billy Graham who always had men around him, no women when he travelled.

First rule of ministry- you have to tell your spouse of any outside friendships with the opposite sex.

I though in his original statement he said Ms. White was friends with he and his wife...but now, he is saying his wife didn’t know he was friends with her?

Not looking so good-poor judgement with guarding his reputation.

Hey "Ed" - Question: if your husband carried on a relationship with a woman for 13 years without telling you, talked with her on the phone in the middle of the night without telling you, and gave money not just once but apparently on numerous occasions, again - without telling you, do you mean to say you wouldn't give it a second thought? Maybe you should...

[writer33]

Yes, where has a crime taken place? I didn’t say poor judgement. I said where has the crime taken place.

Agreed - excellent post. Billy Graham set the gold standard in ministry - never a hint of scandal. And he was always very circumspect with regard to "avoiding even the appearance of evil." A man like that you can trust.

I hate to say it, but I have been in this situation before as well.

I had a really good friend that was receiving an eviction notice if she didn’t pay the rent. She asked if I could help her out and that she would pay me when she received her tax return. Mind you it was September/October when I loaned her the money. I gave her enough for 2 months.

I did not tell the husband. This was money I had put aside for an addition I wanted to put on our house. Tax time came and went. In April she expressed to me that she was so tired of living on the edge, she deserved to go on a vacation. She took herself and 2 children to Disney World.

Yep, I felt like such an idiot! But, she did eventually pay me back before the year was out. I never said anything to her since I was the one that put myself in that position in the first place. But, it can happen to anyone.

I think if she hadn’t paid me back, the friendship might have been lost over it. But all is well! Other than I don’t think I’ll lend to her again!

Moral of the story - it happens when you think you are doing the right thing and possibly your partner may not think the same.

[writer33]

First of all, I didn’t say I didn’t have a problem with what he did, but why should he drop out? And why should I throw my full support for Newt before one single vote has been cast? Explain it all now so I get it.

[writer33]

You didn’t tell your husband, you harlotte. It’s obvious you need to reevaluate your entire life! LOL!

Just kidding, jcsjcm. And people can see, it’s easy to take these things completely out of context, and blow them up into some mountain of a problem. In the end, it’s what Cain’s wife thinks.
