That does it.

Come on, liberals. Get a rope.

And congrats to the MSM for picking off another GOP candidate. Who's next? Huntsman using chopsticks in an insulting fashion? Perry's racist rocks (oops. been there, done that)? Or Romney's weird underwear?

Journalists. AKA pond scum.

Can we move on? He won't let us, now, will he? Man up Herman. Own it. Blaming the test for why he can't pass it doesn't cut the mustard. That isn't conservative. Is it?
Maybe the mystery bimbos -- and their numbers, in our society, are legion -- need to woman up. Stop pretending to be oh so offended by things you joke about in other settings, collecting some easy cash, and thanking Gloria Steinem for making a call girl's wages without all the sweat.

But no. That would take some degree of self-respect. And honor.

Even if the worst probable scenario ends up being true, and he asked a young gal up to his hotel room, big freaking, damn deal.

Based on what was described in that link, it is hard to say. Also, within the workplace there are different rules than outside of work. Anytime there is unwanted suggestive remarks a person could get in trouble. So, legally, what he did was probably wrong, but as a person would I feel sexually harassed? No.

People are different though. Someone may be OK with someone at work hitting on them. It's not supposed to happen at work and shouldn't, but there are people who do allow someone a little room to flirt, they are comfortable with it. The problem is when it becomes known that that interaction is not wanted, but it continues. That is then sexual harassment.

So, should someone be sued, legally or financially attacked for showing attraction to someone verbally or asking them out for times later? No, I don't think so. However, once the person on the receiving end has made it known that they are uncomfortable then it should stop.

A lot of that stuff HAS to be documented too. As a female, I think it is very unbalanced how we assume that a man HAS done something wrong and immediately he is guilty. Someone else should have to see it happen or there has to be proof. (A lot of people are getting caught because of internet texts and phone texts.)

How do you know this? Do you know the women and the accusations involved.

Some people have been re-elected President having done much worse. And their wives have been consoled with a Senate seat and a cabinet post.

And all because they're jackasses instead of elephants.

What's Orwell's line again? "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

Nasty double standard we have operating in this country...

Mystery bimbos?? You are just as guilty of jumping to conclusions as the liberals that you love to denigrate.

"Bimbo eruptions" was coined by the Clinton campaign.

Nope...I'm not even sure of what "he did." Do we have the truth yet, or is this another "Clarence Thomas" debacle?

I don't know but am sending some money to Cain's campaign.
We need the man in office.

Now now. Shall we tax elephants extra to cover the 70+ million dollar inquiry of their Lothario? We can settle this out of congress TYVM.
