It’s amazing the pure hatred out there in the MSM for Herman Cain.
It’s as bad, in some ways, as the MSM Palin reaction.
I don’t think Newt would have gotten a chance had Cain not been attacked and then gotten off his game. Surprisingly, Cain was still not losing big percentage points after the first round. So here comes the next one.
It may be that Herman Cain is in trouble with this latest allegation. Yet there’s no doubt that the Dems set out to utterly destroy him.
In the meantime, not only do I believe in innocent until proven guilty, but the die has been cast. The Chicago Way is to eliminate all opposition, and Cain still has a formidable resume compared to Barry the Usurper.
There have been a few false accusers who came forth, and I'm seeing the same basic pattern:
They can't manage money
They can't keep a job
They are getting evicted (again)
They lost a libel suit or made false claims of harrassment.
These things all say these people have problems, problems which are deeply rooted in their lifestyle/personality/or behaviour, and may be related to substance abuse of some sort or another compulsive behaviour.
Not exactly the sort of people I see a man who achieves well in any venue becoming 'romatically' entangled with, really--not when he has a functional family at home.
People who are highly functional seldom have much tolerance for disfunction in their inner circle, it is too counterproductive.
While they may seek to help the disfunctional with a little cash, some groceries for the kids, Christmas presents for the children, etc., all too often that help ends up being subverted and diverted to further substance abuse or other disfunction.
Often these people are quite convincing in telling how they are getting their life together, how they just need a little help to get past some 'bad luck', how little johnny needs this or little suzie needs that, and they can continue to wheedle small amounts from benefactors for a long time.
That is more a comment on the good nature of the person being taken advantage of, rather than an indictment of impropriety, and often is done for the benefit of the children more than the parent.
I have seen this dynamic in action, and serious involvement is seldom beneficial to the 'user'--it exposes the levels of disfunction and the long term nature thereof to a degree the benefactor will cease to be one.
Usually the reaction after that is to badmouth the person who has been good to them, in a sort of sour grapes reaction to the rejection.
