Cain ran for Senator in 2004 and President in 2000 - where were these leeches then?
Who knows? Everyone seems a bit weird in this issue. Cain personally informed his campaign manager of the "issues" back in the 2004 campaign. At the beginning of this issue cycle, he didn't know anything. He did leave the NRA shortly after the agreement was signed by whomever.
Now we have this new woman. A picture comes out of her with him not long ago at a Tea Party event. She hugged him, and whispered something in his ear. This is the same woman he stated today he does knot know her, didn't recognize her.
It would appear that memory is not his strong suit
And still, to this day, nobody has ever looked into his role and performance in business.
The only thing he didn't say in the Press Conference is, "Newt, why don't you go first?" (reference to Cain's debate with Gingrich last weekend. He deferred to Gingrich every time he apparently needed time to think of an answer.)
He can stand on his head and whistle the theme song to the Partridge Family, accompanied by a choir of nuns. I'm not voting for someone who wants me to pay a national sales tax AND an income tax
Another lib ready to believe a bimbo who claims she was ASSAULTED 14 years ago...oh...but never filed charges.
Why is it that you couldn't give Mr. Cain the benefit of that doubt? Oh...yes.....of course...you are a liberal. LOL!!!
Way to be partisan in your 'objectivity'. [insert eyeroll icon here]
Couldn't find the "eyeroll" icon?
I have my suspicions about Cain and his history with women, just based on what I've heard so far. But I'm not ready to "believe" anyone yet. Haven't heard enough evidence.
Cain might have been entitled to the benefit of a doubt, if his reaction to this situation hadn't been so spastic. Politico reportedly gave the Cain campaign a 10 day heads-up that this story was going to come out. And THIS is how they respond???? . Guess it's a good thing it's just a harrassment complaint, and not a nuclear showdown with Iran or something. If Cain's a boob, better we find out now.
Cain was never going to be the GOP nominee anyway, so this is all kind of academic. But it makes for good political theater, takes the heat off Perry so he can regroup, makes Romney look like a plausible president by contrast (at least for now).
And, who knows- maybe a serial liar and harrasser is going to get what's coming to him. Better late than never

Now I realize ive gone back and forth on this and most recently called for Cain to step down.
Bill Kurtis who has worked at CBS, said he was getting an "earful" about this woman's history from CBS employees who knew her.
Who knows... I piled on Cain in another thread but its hard to not put myself in his shoes, if he is innocent. I dont know how you I would deal with it to an widely acceptable manner, these type of accusations. How do you prove your innocence?
Im sure more will come to light on some of this and maybe we'll learn more about the accuser.
For her to come forward after so long of silence with the type of graphic accusations just doesnt seem right to me.
I just wish it would end. Im sick of hearing about it. I want to know the truth but I dont think we'll ever know. One side would have to cave.
Maybe he did it, maybe he didn't. It sure is a convenient method of knocking a candidate down without it being called racist however, and that has me questioning this more than anything. Almost a "perfect crime" scenario in a political sense.
