Karl Rove, Coulter and Limbaugh at times represent the worst of the Republicans.
This has been a calculated attack/smear campaign against Herman Cain and the cowards who orchestrated this should be exposed ( regardless of party affiliation).
There are some that theorize it is Romney and I believe this is false. Cain supported Romney as the Republican nominee against Mc Cain last time around.
Hopefully the real truth comes out, Cain is not a carreer politician and is not as experienced at handling this kind of attack.
Herman Cain has alot to offer and hopefully he'll be able to clear his name.
The bottom line is that the GOP hardliners DO NOT WANT HERMAN CAIN! So this is the first (but not the last) "friendly fire" attack that will be coming his way. The likes of Karl Rove are very well-versed in throwing rocks and hiding their hands (then blaming "The Left")
Cain spoke publically about it, so that breaks the confidentiality agreement. I'd like to hear her story about what Herman "Clarence Thomas" Cain did.
I frankly think that they settled with her because her claim had merit. Shame on Cain. He's toast. The exposure of the fraud that was his 9-9-9 plan was the beginning of the end.
Most revealing of all: What kind of incompetent runs to become the President of the United States and is NOT aware of all the details of past sexual harrassment suits that were settled on his behalf?
Enjoy President Obama's second term.

Yes, Cain is done. His 9-9-9 plan was getting shredded to bits, when this news broke about his past indiscretions. His attempts at damage control amount to evasive answers and baseless accusations of being "lynched." He's pathetic.
He hung his reputation and suitability on being President on the 9-9-9 plan and it stunk. He represents yet another sorry GOP candidate who doesn't stand a chance against President Obama.
Anyone stands a chance against Obama.

The GOP is currently an embarrassment as reflected in their candidates and in their failure to discredit this President.
Why is it that so many of these women, wish to speak after the fact! Way after the fact. Why not right after somethign happens. Sorry makes me suspecious. You have something to accuse, accuse right away, not years later.
Are you actually ignorant of the fact that Cain's accusers made their accusations back in the 1990s when it happened? They made the accusations to their employer as was proper. They didn't go to the media at the time because their harasser wasn't on national TV denying their story.
The fact that this story hit the news now is because some reporters went digging, doing that thing that conservatives insist must be done for politicians - vetting.
This post is in the wrong thread; the title here is "Cain Accuser Wants to Speak." Both women who alleged sexual misconduct against Cain signed agreements to remain silent because Cain paid them off rather than go through a trial, which might have damaged his career. Now one woman is trying to be allowed to speak, all these years later. Perhaps she'd just like to see the truth come out.
Perhaps she'd like to have her lawyer set up some paid interviews. I would.
Smart candidates and politicians should be prepared to deal with issues from their past. ("Skeletons in their closets!")...Elections can be brutal today and full of "mud-slinging" back and forth. Everything is going to be scrutinized and questioned. And smart candidates need to be prepared for all of it ahead of time. (Before they decide to run for office.)...If a candidate isn't prepared for all the scrutiny this tells me that he (or she) isn't "too bright!"...Herman Cain's outrage and evasiveness tells me that he didn't do a good job of vetting himself before he decided to run. Obviously he felt that none of this would come up so he didn't bother preparing an explanation for it. Everything caught him by surprise...If he is elected president what else might he overlook? Does he operate through "tunnel vision?"...A president has to prepare for the "unexpected" and be ready to face anything.
See, it's not that black conservatives are expected to totally forgo the impulse to cash in the race chips when the opportunity presents itself, it's just that they are required to be particularly adept and meticulous at playing them so as not to bear any semblance of accusing conservatives in general of anything remotely related to race. They are only to be cashed in at the expense of those on the left.
I don't know about that.
He has the left scared to death a conservative black gains power and causes later a shift away from only the Democrat party. There is THAT issue.
Then there is the beltway politicians from both sides in Washington DC that are also scared to death about an ethical person who wants to shrink government control and they also are ganging up on him.
The women involved here would have to have their backgrounds known in order to know if they are over medicated or racists IMO.
In Newt's case, they won't have to dig too hard. He has more baggage than all of the candidates put together. If he replaces Cain as the new flavor of the month for the Tea Party crowd, it will all start to resurface.
Baggage as in what being married a couple of times.
Not a problem for most people. Obama had far more baggage then that for sure.
