Bogus charge but Cain has handled it poorly.
First, he avoided a chance to deny it at first opportunity refusing to talk about it because he was at a venue on ‘another subject.’
Second, he denied any knowledge of a payout to the two women.
I find that extremely hard to believe. He surely knows of the payout and exactly how much it was. Why didn’t he just say he doesn’t remember the details... why deny knowing anything about it.
He did say he hoped it wasn’t much since the charges were false, but it makes him look bad to claim total ignoranceof the payoff.
Man up and state your specifics, or you must go into the irrelevant category and people should excuse any points you make.
Your choice.
We are talking about who is best to bring the American way of life back to a Government of free market, freedom of speech, and freedom of right to self-determination.
We simply must beat 0bama or else this country may be finished so lets get this understood - is this is a blemish where the optics look bad or is this a deal breaker?
Bring your facts or go home.
Frankly, we must look past the blemishes of this or any candidate (if that is the case) because the need to elect a true leader who is rooted in Capitalism far...FAR outweighs the need to be perfect in every choice we any of us has made going back 20 years.
What really astounds me though, is that we have been feed communication blackout by the media but we are now expected to jump at revulsion to accusations about Cain’s past.
Does that even make sense?
In a word - this accusation about Cain is STUPID in light of the glaring lack of ANY fundamental knowledge relating to 0bama’s life choices. Its simply Stupid.
Don’t wait for it.
The Perry haters still go on Perry threads and spew their venom.
And their posts never seem to be removed and I’ve had some really nasty comments directed to me, the scars are healing nicely but I don’t think it should have been allowed.
Wonder what their Plan B is if Cain falters.
Adios, nutter. Give my regards to Tokyo Rove.
Cain just hit a homerun at the National Press Club. It was one of the best political performances I have ever witnessed. It will be reaired at 8 pm on CSPAN. Simply unbelievable. And the end will bring some tears to some. Cain is the real deal. I never thought I would say that.
Second, he denied any knowledge of a payout to the two women.It appears that the alegations were handle by the restaurant association's legal counsel and the insurer probably paid the women. I don't think Cain was ever directly involved.
I find that extremely hard to believe. He surely knows of the payout and exactly how much it was. Why didnt he just say he doesnt remember the details... why deny knowing anything about it.
He did say he hoped it wasnt much since the charges were false, but it makes him look bad to claim total ignoranceof the payoff.
Quite a leap there.. if it's so "apparent" to you, how about explaining your arrival at that assumption?
Yes, please ping me too.
I have a different point of view,
Do you watch Football? Does the team with the ball bring out their defense team to move the ball forward? I think not.
Cain was smart at using these last few weeks to use his offensive team to show who He is, the positive first.
I didn’t know anything about Cain and now I know some things that I really like. This has me question these accusations where as I may have had more negative feelings
from the start.
Concerning his remarks about not knowing about “sexual harassment” charges. He said he didn’t know of any SEXUAL Harassment charges against him. He didn’t say just Harassment charges. So ... He is saying there were no SEXUAL harassment charges.
Am I wrong here about SEXUAL harassment?
He doesn’t calm to be a perfect man. (THANK GOD)
Only Jesus Christ was/is perfect.
I am watching him, so far. I like him.
You see, Herman is a Christian, conseravtive, man in full, the very opposite of the artifical barry bassturd axelgrease must prop up daily. As such, Herman Cain will cause a significant percentage of voting black people to awaken to the reality that a democrat half-black shill does not represent nor have the improvement of black people as a goal. If 25% of back voters fail to vote as they are herded to do, the democrap party stands to lose more than just the White Hut.
Axelfraud has to stop Herman now, before he defeats Rominy, that's why this is so exactly what the lying son of satan would do!
Knowing I will get flamed, I would love to see the day when sexual harrassment charges are made against women in the work place. For the following, overt flirting with successful men, dressing provocatively in the work place, making sexual innuendo, sleeping with anyone who asks but mostly men who can butter their bread. and let’s not forget the women who love the opportunity to disrupt a marriage. Incidentally, I am a woman and had more than my share of potential sexual harrassment claims. I thought it was laughable, handled it myself and moved on.
My husband is VP of operations for a small manufacturing company. It can get very loud in the plant. He needed to talk to an employee so he put his hand on the shoulder of the employee to get his attention over the noise of 200+ machines. The employee is a 60+ year-old white male who then went to HR and filed a sexual harassment claim against my husband. We have become a country of babies.
All the MSM has to do is keep trickling out little details and all the nit-picky analysts at National Review Online and the Weekly Standard will keep looking into it until they are convinced that Cain a.) engaged in inappropriate conduct b.) is not skilled enough to handle a campaign and win in the general.
National Review Online wants to reach this conclusion, so they will keep the story alive and kill Cains candidacy with 1000 tiny cuts. The MSM knows all they have to do is convince the weak-kneed conservative media that Cain should be disqualified and then the weak sisters will make it happen.
Marty, that old joke about the ‘turd in the punch bowl’ must have originated with someone who knows you much better than any of us do.
You're saying that to someone who has been here for 10 years? Do you realize you look like a stupid little child?
If you’re really interested, go on any Perry thread. You will see for yourself.
The insults to me personally slacked off after I stopped posting to the worst of them, but they are still as offensive as ever.
That’s what he says, but since the charges were against him and the payoffs made to shut the women up, I would think he would have taken a mild interest.
Just sayin’
