Regardless of whether this is true or not, Cain's response doesn't look good.
This, plus the fact that these women were paid to quietly go away--why would that happen if there wasn't something to the claims?

ALL HERMAN CAIN SUPPORTERS MUST WATCH; HERMAIN CAIN INCONSISTENT - YouTube!
Herman Cain's shoes are bullet ridden. No one has to take down Cain, he is more than capable of doing that himself.

Say Anything » Mitt Romney’s Dirty Tricks

good point... after all it was M. Bachman that derailed Perry with her call out of him being in the pocket of business (drug companies specifically)

The reign of Cain is circling the drain.

Anyone can be accused, and a settlement makes the problem go away. We'll never know if Cain actually did anything wrong in 1999, because the case has been sealed by non-disclosure agreements.

What worries me more, as a voter, is the fact that, Cain and his campaign had to know this day was coming- why weren't they prepared to handle it? And what does that say about what kind of president he'd be?

LOL, tropolis, the allegations were made long before he contemplated running for office, during the time he was actually heavily involved in the association.

A totally strange statement coming from Cain's, Mark Block, "I am not personally aware of any cash settlement relating to sexual harassment charges to Mr. Cain."

That's a little hard to believe.

Just more dirty tricks. Had to go back 20 years to find it. It's sick that these are the stories that journalists feed us these days....they are so relevant.

But I guess it's the sick public that keeps this type journalism going.

Whatever get's you going I guess.
