You libs will stoop to nothing, will you. Nothing but innuendos and lies, but you've decided that Cain is guilty as charged, in spite of telling his side which indicates otherwise. But you believe an woman that won't be subjected to questioning, based on rumors.

The only one's blaming the victim are the libs. Because Cain is clearly the victim here.


She has a lawyer who's appealing to the National Restaurant Association to release her from the non-disclosure confidentiality agreement that was made at the time. Mr. Cain has denied that he broke the confidentiality agreement, which he'd hardly state if he'd never been party to one. Cain didn't blame liberals, he pointed his finger at the Perry campaign. A Republican pollster has stated that he witnessed Cain sexually harassing the woman in question:

BTW, my post clearly states that the victim could have been in the boardroom, not that she was.

I'd vote for any canidate who could put 10 million Americans back to work, I wouldn't cared if they smoked 5 packs a day, and drank vodka...if they could co-operate up on the hill, and get stuff done, i'd vote for them...

both Dem, Rep, Christians, gay people, vets, and more are unemployed right now...and would all benefit from a leader who could get the ball rolling...

If Herman Cains that man...than so be it...if Micheal Backmans that women, than so be it...if Obama's that man...than so be it...if Ron Paul is that man, than so be it...

But what we need is effective economist up there...not ideologs...ideologs just become lame ducks, cause no one will vote on anything they pass...the current President is learning that...

Herman Cain has proven he can turn businesses around...but he hasn't prooven he can get along with people of different political persuasion...and that's what makes one an effect President...

And on a side note, it's been rumored that these leaks were done by other Rep canidates, not Democrats...politics is dirty...

Let's see....a few days ago, when this story first broke, you RWNJ's were accusing the woman (or women) of wanting a big pay day, a book deal, and/or their fifteen minutes of fame. Now, when it turns out that at least one of the women has decided not to speak, it's because she is "lying?"

You all really want it both ways, don't you?

You really need to keep up with the news..! The National Restaurant Association gave that release to her Friday, and she refuses to make any comment now that she has been released..
Now what???

Your case is not what we were referring to...and I'm sorry you have been made to go thru this...if someone asks you why you left a job, you could always answer, "it was a personal matter that you choose not to discuss"....

I work for a corporation, a huge one, and you can't imagine all the law suits we've had...more that were from women trying to make a buck...I even had a neighbor years ago, that was known by all the stores in the community, b/c she would fake falling and then sue them...

so, like I said before, it works both ways, but no one was attacking valid harrassments....we women stick together on that...however, what we were joking about had nothing to do with women who were legitimentally violated...and by the way....I was also sexually abused by an uncle as a kid...and I refuse to let it ruin my life, so I joke about that to...I won't allow the bad moments in my life to dictate who I am.
Ladies, I'm with you on that one. My aunt's husband was a dirty old man. None of the women in the family wanted to be alone with him. He was good about hiding it from my aunt, until he got much older & didn't cover tracks as well. I saw/heard him make inappropriate comments to my mother. I would have slugged him, but my aunt (mom's sister) was already on borrowed time with a weak heart. Any conflict could have caused her another heart attack. I would not let my daughters be alone with him at all.

Also, in any of my arguments defending Herman Cain, I don't mean to imply that harassment does not happen in the workplace. I know it does. All of us should act appropriately in the workplace & consider the impact of our words & attitudes as well.

It sounds like she didn't say anything until Cain tried to paint the settlements as "termination agreements," and she was angry that he was trying to make it look like she'd done something wrong. Politico has interviewed a bunch of people who were there at the time this all supposedly happened, and at least two of them said she told them about the allegations immediately after they happened, and was visibly angry and upset. They said he propositioned her, and she felt her job was threatened. There's lots more.....these are just the highlights.

This isn't looking good for him.
Thanks for that bit of info. I stand corrected about the women coming forward. Sounds like Politico published without proof.
