this whole chain of events is unfortunate, for Herman Cain, and for the GOP; but if FOX news doesn’t get rid of that fat pasty faced pompous ass Rove, I’m gonna have to throw another TV onto the pile out back!! The GOP (and FNC) need to get rid of pukes like him, not people like Cain.
Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.
This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.
Quite frankly, I don’t care if Cain was boinking these women right up til last Tuesday. (though I don’t believe a single one of them).
I’m just sick to my stomach about the media taking down another Conservative with lies, distortions and double standards.
Somebody has to fight back against this crap!

I'm sorry, NN, but Herman Cain has admitted he never told his wife about the money he gave to Ms. Rice. A man who can keep something like that from his wife is a man who can keep all kinds of stuff from GOP voters. He no longer has the benefit of a doubt to me. And I defended him from the attacks with unfounded allegations. But this is his own admission here.
does any one know what time we get the news?
Cain (and his surrounding good people) mishandled the fiasco from the start. Submitting to interviews that were usually more than fifty percent discussions of sex charges — his denyin’-denyin’-denyin’ plan — was a huge mistake. Gave the sharks a new bloody limb every few days.
He should have refused outright to talk about it, and said his lawyers would aggressively pursue the accusers in civil court. End of story.
Don’t feed the animals.
I agree. I don’t like how he’s handled these issues - and I think, well, I know, he’s assembled a very flawed team that includes a number of folks who themselves don’t understand what Cain is all about - and the notion of going into a “holding pattern” of 72 hours while you re-assess is just death by amateurism. (If you re-assess, do so in private while publicly you are full speed ahead!).
BUT, he’s a good man and a great story, and I HATE HATE HATE that anyone can be sidetracked by what is obviously a manipulated smear campaign.
Pretty much all current Democrats and a frighteningly large number of Republicans will do ANYTHING to stop the transfer of power BACK to the people from the scum sucking government.
There are a couple of things about this recent woman's story of a 13 year affair that have not been discussed and just do not make sense or add up. Yet, no one is asking these questions and, instead people like Rove and many in the media are assuming all the allegations have some truth. But....
(1) IF, and that is a big IF Cain helped her AND had an affair with her, just why would any sensible person expose that relationship when there was a chance that the man could become President and help her even more? It makes no sense if a person is loyal and thankful for any previous help that she received. Obviously she is neither, and her statement that she was concerned about the other women who accused Cain of some sexual harassment, makes no sense either. Why would a person, who is getting money from someone, cut of their own access to funds in order to help women who have already been shown to have lied and who certainly cannot help her? The only answer..ONLY.. is that she is lying also, and someone else promised her money if she said that Cain's help was more than just monetary and that she had an on-going affair. (yeah, right, like through the time that he was fighting and recovering from cancer???)
(2) How did this woman suddenly have a list of text messages ready and waiting to expose unless she had help from others to get this together and had been planning something so she could be paid by one of/some of Cain's enemies? And, how many other people has this woman hit up for money over the years? I am sure Cain is not the only one. Where is that list of text messages, or the names of Other people that she turned to for money? With her record it is most likely that Cain is not the only one she tapped for funds. Is she going to claim affairs with all of them?
(3) If Cain, as he admitted, has been giving her money, (as I am sure others have)...how about someone getting the IRS to investigate her and her bank account. I expect this woman never reported any financial "gifts" as income. And I am sure the money given to here were not considered "loans." Wonder how much money she has begged for and received for which she never paid taxes? This is a woman who should be investigated and made to "spread the wealth" and pay her fair share, ala Obama style.
(4) Obviously she has not been too strapped for cash if she can afford a cell phone and send thousands of text messages. It is apparent this woman is a blood-sucking leech and a slanderer. Her ex-partner took her to court for slander, and won, proving that even the courts (and her family, by the way) have all declared that she is a liar.
I feel so sorry for Cain. He has been hurt by all these allegations and I do not believe he is an unfaithful husband or a man who has done anything these women claim. He might not have become the final candidate, but this campaign against him was engineered to ruin his life, not just his chance at the White House. There are far more people who know him who can attest to his morality, sincerity, kind heart, and decency. Only a few greedy, low-life women have tried to discredit him in a way that is de plorable and slanderous. But the media tempts and encourages people to believe the liars rather than the true friends and co-workers and associates who know Cain's real character and qualities and who have defended him throughout all of these untrue stories.
This right here speaks volumes and not just about the media, but a lot of people on FR as well. I hope he stays in.
Agreed. I don’t know if he’s guilty of any of the allegations, but at this point needs to stay in the race. It’s either damaged him, or it hasn’t, and the only real test is going to be counted in votes.
Hope also Mr. Can stays in the GOP race. What has been going on is nothing short than defamation of character.
I hope Mr. Cain will stay in the race through the GOP primaries. Let the voters decide who our candidate will be, rather than the liberal MSM.
We can all disagree, but I hope he is gone (along with the other hanger’s on). H seems like a nice and accomplished man but my yorkshire terror has more common sense and may understand our national issues better.
Hang in there Cain. There is a lot at stake & the biggest IMHO is the need to not let OUR candidates be controlled by half truths, media hype and outright lies
HYPOCRISY cannot win this one. If Cain drops out for whatever reason the lying media, RATS have won a big battle & maybe the wr
