Truly I cannot say a disparaging word about Cain's accusers without making myself a hypocrite for compiling for display and thus besmirching the sources of many disparaging words about Juanita Brodderick, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey and others on the Downside Legacy.

I agree, A-G. You are famous for your downside legacy of Bill Clinton.

As always with sexual harassment, we know it exists, but we also know it is very hard to prove since it almost always involves a "he said/she said" type of charge.

That is why it is acceptable circumstantial evidence in favor of the defendant if a variety of different people go public with the same accusation against the same individual.

You may never go visit John Doe. However, if one person tells you John Doe is a dairy farmer, then you might suspect that he is a dairy farmer. If over the course of the next year, 5 different people mention John Doe as a dairy farmer, then you are going to start thinking of John as a Dairy Farmer whether you ever meet him or not. That's because the multiple testimonies to the same fact strengthen the original story that John Doe is a dairy farmer. Could these allegations be false? Sure, but at least 3 of the witnesses are not anonymous, in that Herman Cain knows who they are, and they have come forward to some degree in all 3 cases. What this all boils down to, though, is that I will not vote for Mitt Romney in any case, even if he's the last republican standing. I have switched to Newt, Perry, Santorum, Bachmann, and Paul in that order. Huntsman claims to be pro-life. Does anyone know the truth of that?

Indeed. Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
