I note you are from Illinois. I checked the laws of your state and it is legal to serve papers on a 13 year old family member. It struck me as odd. Most states 15 or above. Anyway, the service process was legal. And this barbecuing of Cain may be legal, but it sure as hell is wrong!

Why-—as if we put a “fork” in Clinton? He just got a huge throne—no fork and he did much, much worse that anything Cain could even conceive of.

Teddy Kennedy????? Killing people he has affairs with?????

Cain has sound principles (he is not perfect, but he knows that which makes him the wisest of all). Cain feels shame. Democrats don’t—in fact, they do despicable things to other people and call it “love”, pro-choice, alternative “lifestyle”. Yet, it is gross and evil.

We are allowing the Media to destroy Cain and form our “perceptions”. That is all the political game is——perceptions. Don’t allow the MEDIA FOR PETE”S SAKE TO DECIDE WHO YOU VOTE FOR.

THEY will make sure it is a socialist/Marxist/Progressive “thinker” in the vein of McCain or W. The MSM picked McCain and W and Dole and forced Bush Sr. on Reagan—they were their One Worlders. So is Newt. He is part of the establishment to destroy everything that made America great.

Cain and Bachmann are not plants so the MSM will destroy them—if the useful idiots allow them to.

>> He is our way out of this mess and you play in to the rhetoric.. please..<<

My wife and I volunteered to work on his campaign. If you saw the horrid mess his campaign was in even before these allegations you wouldn’t be looking to him to clean up any mess.

are you kidding me? You can not be that naive; this isn't some stranger or homeless person looking for a few dollars to eat. He was giving her money to pay her month to month bills and it wasn't just one time. I do not have an axe to grind with Cain or any other candidate. I just made a statement based on my opinion after Cain came out today and said he gave this woman money and his wife did not know. After reading some of the responses to my comment I had to check and make sure I was not on DU with the dummies....

I'm at the point I no longer consider them FReepers. Users, manipulators, yes.

I call them useful idiots for Axelrod.

Cain came out today and said he gave this woman money and his wife did not know.

So what? Between him and his wife. Completely irrelevant to the rest of us and the world. All the shiite that was thrown at this man and this is all that stuck?

Accused of sexual harassment - nothing
Accused of sexual assault/attempted rape - nothing
Accused of sexual affair - nothing

Cain hasn't lied about anything. Not once. But hey we got him on how he chose to spend his own money. Wow.

Have you thought about Santorum? I know his chances are bleak, but he has less baggage.

It has nothing to do with naïveté. I am an attorney, and I am constantly faced with the dilemma of who to believe. I have learned from experience that even the most persuasive accounts by the most sincere-sounding witnesses must be held to a rigorous standard of proof, especially where a person’s reputation is at stake, because even honest-faced people lie.

Why be so tough about proof in defamation? Because a good reputation is gold in the bank, a treasure worth protecting. It is a grant of power to act and be trusted. It enlarges a person. To lose it is to lose somewhat the power to live. To lose it to a deliberate lie is analogous to murder. It is the reason, I believe, why “bearing false witness” is included in the 10 Commandments. It is among the most basic and important precepts in a free society, that we should be truthful and careful with other people’s reputations.

Therefore, having seen the same evidence as everyone else, I conclude that Mr. Cain may have erred in keeping his charitable behavior a secret, even from his wife, but that it portends nothing but a kindly interest in helping a woman who was constantly begging him for money. People do that to millionaires. I’ve been in some estate situations where even worse behavior has manifested itself. Money can be a motivator to all manner of spiritual perversity, even in the heart of a poor person. I have seen it before, and this is what I think I see now in the Cain situation.

In any event, I am sorry you think you must denigrate those who bring a different set of life experiences to the table. I for one can assure you I am not a refugee from DU. Reaganite to the bone, for decades. I just don’t like slander. Period. Pretty simple, really.

(Joe) KLEIN: Newt probably is a more serious contender than Herman Cain was. Cain was clearly just a parking place, and especially after we started to attack Cain; then, you know, Republicans -- populist Republicans -- decided to support Cain just to send us a message.

My husband and I help the down and outs. We consider many to be our better friends, and it has been a blessing to see some rise from their life's circumstances. However, some make a living begging for money. They will have an "emergency" and will call several times a day. Then they will call someone else several times a day until they get enough money to last for a while.

A period of time will go by, sometimes months, even years, without a peep from them. Then they will have another "emergency." Sometimes you just have to cut them off.

Ms White seems like the down and out type. Lin Wood mentioned the number of text messages she made in addition to the ones she made to Herman Cain. It appears she had a network of people who gave her money.

Some down and outs are not faithful friends. They would do anything for money. It looks like White was paid to betray a faithful friend who helped her out financially. It wouldn't surprise me if one day she calls him up again to help pay her bills. It is a different mindset. That kind doesn't have a conscience.
