Probably not, he seems like a more honest person than Clinton. However, time will tell.

thanks. The article even says a unidentified source and there are many politicians as well as other people in the lime light that choose to settle these things out of court rather than get involved in a battle, not to mention whatever it was, if it did happen years ago. I read an article (column) this morning attacking Rubio for something. It doesn't make any difference what Republican it is, they are going to keep digging and digging until they find something to damage the persons character. If Cain did do something that was totally unexceptable he should be exposed, but let's see how far this thing goes. No, it isn't a Monica L thing like someone suggested.

My thoughts exactly. There was a young black man working for Reagan years ago that went through a similar thing. He just resigned.

Yes, JUST LIKE what the righties have done, heck they went so far back on Obama he wasn't even born yet. The truth is both sides sling mud, ya cannot whine about it while supporting those on your side that have done it in far greater numbers. In Cains case it does not even really matter, he is going nowhere anyway, so who cares if the guy is a creep. In May Cain will be back to flinging his pizzas.

The House DID impeach him. The Senate did not.
Maybe we're splitting hairs over semantics.
From what i remember the man never lost a day in office due to impeachment, and while there was some movement toward impeachment all charges were dropped and he fulfilled his duty in office right to the last day.

I agree with you, the rightwingers need to get over the birther thing, but I also think it is a small percentage of them who want to continue the discussion. As for Cain, I have no idea how much further he will go, right now, I am certainly not supporting him, I am just tired of the slams to every Republican who is running, thinking about running or might run in the future. Did you see one place where I ever supported those who won't let the birth thing die?

If you are referring to Perry, because we were out of the country or out at sea for 2 weeks we just got pieces of what he said, but it appeared he pretty much said he really didn't know and there are more important things to worry about. If this is what he said, then I have no problem with this. If he honestly said, he thinks Obama is not legally able to be Pres because he wasn't born in the USA< I do have a problem with that.

The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures."


I'm guessing Herman Cain is dead meat now!
Dead meat? Where are the facts, who are his accusers?

These incidents include conversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned restaurant association events and at the association’s offices. There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship.

Gestures and suggestive language? Call out the FBI, we have a felony gestures case to prosecute. At the most, this sounds like Herman asked a few women out for a dinner date, and was turned down. Let this be a lesson to all men, never ask women out for a date, if they turn you down you will be haunted by it for decades.

Like I said, you weren't there.

This statement draws a conclusion without evidence to support that conclusion.

Writing is fundamental too.
These are posts on a message board.....not legal briefs.

In my post I NEVER said Cain sexually harassed anyone.....I said he was accused of harassment......THAT was perfectly clear.

And yes, I wasn't there.....did I ever say I was?

The bold highlight is what he said.

So what. Anyone can accuse, but they must prove it to be true. Seems like this happened to another black conservative man in the past.
