“Oh NOW Innocent until proven guilty is the standard?”
You obviously have a very tenuous grip on reality.
Cain admitted having paid this woman’s expenses.
He admitted his wife didn’t know about it.
The woman was obviously going to be able to produce proof that he had done so.
He had texted/phoned her repeatedly.
The woman was obviously going to be able to produce proof that he had done so.
That isn’t something a happily married man does, in the eyes of most women, and most men, and certainly most conservatives. It’s not proof he cheated. Cain’s not proven guilty. But he doesn’t have to be in the court of public opinion, and that’s the most important court in politics, not legal courts. Anyone running for office or pushing a candidate for office knows that is how it works.
And you know it, too. That’s why you, MN, are regularly all over FR spreading whatever slime you can make up about every candidate you oppose. But your smears just happen to be b.s. about 99% of the time. Unlike this slime, which stuck to Cain because it just happens to true—or at least truthful enough that the average conservative doesn’t buy Cain’s excuses.
When you’ve killed yourself, it’s a suicide, not a lynching. Cain’s got nobody but himself to blame.
Funny the same could be said of Newt and Cain, if he did give this whore money as he has admitted to, then it was his money to give and not the taxpayers. Now can Newt and all the others who have had affairs, while in public office say the same and since we are setting standards, where is the media and the establishments with their blue dresses, used condoms and big headed babies as in the case of Bill KKKlinton, Jesse Jackson and John Edwards?
