Sorry, you can't win on this one: if the allegations are indeed false, then the obvious question is: "What is Cain doing associating with people like that?"

Just more of the "When did you quit beating your wife?" logic. Let's turn this lazy logic on it's head. What was Jesus doing associating with sinners? In fact, show me where he commanded His people to not associate with sinners? That's not proof you are presenting, just more of the smear tactics of the MSM and others.

I'll thank you not to compare the present travails of Herman Cain to the righteous sufferings of One who was utterly blameless in all He did.

Your response is incoherent. Speaking of "Lazy logic," your "when did you stop beating your wife" comparison is totally off-the-wall. The issue is whether the allegations regarding infidelity are true, or if they are not. While we must not rush to judgment, we also must not keep our heads in the sand and refuse to hold "our guy" to the same standards we demand for others.

Ah yes the old intellectually lazy, politically bigoted "he was accused so he must be guilty" dogma of the intellectually vapid.

Rather then posture as if you ever bothered to have an open mind, just admit, you want a different candidate and cannot be bothered to actually THINK about this issue.

Cain was accused. He denied it. Where has even ONE shred of ANY proof been offered by any accusers? It the accused job to prove his innocent. When can we expect ANY of you brain dead media parrots to EVER ask ANY of the accusers to provide ANY proof to back up their accusations?

Here a clue for you mindless campaign bots. IF they can get Cain with these sort of sleazy baseless accusations, YOUR CANDIDATE IS NEXT on the hit lists. Once these tactics are allowed to succeed they will be used over and over and over against any Candidate who challenges the corrupt political/media establishment

No, the people I’ve seen saying that Cain is finished are saying the issue is whether Cain told his wife exactly how he spent every dime of their money. It’s not about fidelity, according to them. It’s about him giving a female money without telling his wife about it.

I calculated that if Cains have 5 million and he gave $500 to White that would be like somebody making $50,000 giving $5. If somebody who makes $50,000 a year gives a woman at their office a $5 gift and doesn’t consult their wife about it they are as bad as an adulterer, according to these people.

I don’t buy it. Sure, it would be better if he had told his wife, but I can see how a multi-millionaire might be spending his time with his wife doing something besides talking about the gal he knew from work who he gave some money to in a pinch.

If that’s what this situation was, then I say let he who is without sin cast the first stone: which of you who make $30,000 has told your wife about every tip you made of $3 or more?
