This is most likely the case. They've got to attempt to derail him asap.

I don't think it is racisum driving this in the least. I'm going to repeat myself from another thread. What it's all about, and I predicted this to a worker months ago. If Cain has any credibility, and is as good as he seems to be...he's going to start gaining the ears of many people, and if he does, the rich...the WTO will smear him...anyone who is of any credibility who will not cater to the rich...will be smeared...and look what happened.

By the way, the one women...all he did was look at her and say, "Hey your exactly as tall as my wife, she comes up to here on me," and he took his hand to his chin. He never touched her. It was not sexual harrassment, she was looking to make a buck at his expense, his families expense and his career....which a lot of people do now a days....

Action news showed the cameras Septa recently put around all they're public transportation and it literally shows, people running to the bus, then laying down on the seats claiming to have fallen. Pathetic....when the courts start counter suing these bums...is when it will stop...

But Cain, well, I'll tell you what, to me his appearance is not good, he does not have the elegance that I feel our President should have...however, in the long run, and in every other way, he's in for me. His background has been nothing but accomplishments, more then most...and his financial abilities are keen/sharp, and this man is going to straighten our country out, and that is exactly what the rich fear. So, they try and smere him...and I told my co-worker, if they do this, I'm voting for him, b/c that speaks volumns about how afraid of him they are.

Cain does not fear speaking his mind, even if its unpopular...he is not a puppet...he is like JFK was...Hes' going to work for the people.

Perhaps the clown is just another horn dog politician that knows all women find him irresistible.

And after he lied about knowing anything about a lawsuit, you believe his version of what happened?

He thinks the woman in question is restrained from making any public statements, but there are many ways to get around that. If I was that woman, listening to his lies, I'd be looking into ways to defend myself. Heck, all she has to lose is the $35,000 she got to leave the company.

So I was correct, the *******s are armed and ready for the attack on anyone who is a threat to Oblunder boy.

No one has more baggage and skeletons then Obama, no one.

What I and many others are looking for is someone who can lead and turn the country around from the Obama train wreck and Newt could do that.

I thought the personal life was not important. Obama followers said so themselves.

Then of course the one on one debates would be a great thing as Newt would totally destroy and embarrass Obama badly one on one.

Why do *******s keep mentioning the TP? Scared?

I would think this statement from Cain is far more important than anything else.

Quote:
And secondly, we already have superiority in terms of our military capability, and I plan to get away from making cutting our defense a priority and make investing in our military capability a priority, going back to my statement: peace through strength and clarity. So yes they’re a military threat. They’ve indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability and they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have. So yes, we have to consider them a military threat.

Of course it is Romney. He's running scared. Now maybe he got a call from some Hillary folks but who knows. Funny how they dig up something from twenty years ago and the media runs wild though. Hmmmm me thinks it was planned. Nah THEY never do that. LOL

Much ado about a hairdo

These women were given low cost go away money. Just going to court starts at $65,000. So many times companies and insurance companies figure which is less and pay it.
That by the way is why doctor's liability insurance is 200k a year and why we have such high insurance premiums.
Now how do you prove or disprove what these two women said?
Was there a police report?

Most of these kinds of things are highly subjective and about the impression of the person offended.
Maybe the one woman was self conscious about her height when he said she was as tall as his wife.
Maybe the two had a screw loose.

Usually if people are predators it is a serial problem and so far we don't see the Tiger Woods long line of offended people.

If that were true, why would the woman be asking her lawyer if she can be released from the NDA and speak to the media? To say, "Yes, Herman Cain is right, he compared my height to his wife's and I found that offensive"? If she didn't disagree with his account, or the incident would be viewed as trivial, she wouldn't bother.

It's also reported that whatever the alleged harassment was, it was an ongoing, repeated thing, not a one-time thing.
