On the one hand, no one has seen evidence other than these statements about the sexual harassment charges. The payoffs could just have been because lawsuits going to court to prove innocence would have cost more than the payouts, plus Cain wasn’t involved in the settlements.
On the other, many of those who have poured money into Cain’s campaign this week apparently are assuming the allegations are false. The women making allegations like this must be lying despite not wanting to come out into the public eye.
What do you think? Did he or didn’t he sexually harass the women? Should the women be forced into the spotlight to back up the allegations because Cain is running for President? Has this whole thing been blown out of proportion or should it be taken more seriously? Does this help or hurt his chances of winning the nomination?
Cain might be be right in saying he sexually molested some, but not all of the women.
Who cares? Cliton LIED under oath (a Felony which bars him from office) and got re-elected. ITs all about which side can spin it best.
There was one guy who made a press conference at the National Press Club that he had a drug and sex tryst with Obama in the 90s. Somehow it didn’t get the same level of reporting, with Politico saying they wouldn’t go with unsubstantiated allegations.
They don’t shoot assassinate presidential candidates any more (like they did George Wallace). The character assassinate them. they load up in advance with whatever damaging ammo they can get on them. And when the wrong one out shines the pre-chosen candidate (Perry?), they take aim at the new popular guy, and fire their privately funded lawyer backed gold diggers at them. Let’s face it, they did the same thing with Clinton. None of those women said a thing until he became president, and the GOP secretly funded their claims. Which I don’t remember ever being proven true. After the GOP get Cain out of the way. They’ll start on Romney next. It’s clearly Perry that they want. One more Texas bumpkin, that they can push around.
I’m not saying that I like Cain. Cause how does having run a Pizza business, lead to qualifying as experience to be president? But I guess after nominating Palin for VP in 2008, anything goes in the next election. Frankly I think Clint Eastwood would make a pretty good president. He’s sure scare the crap out of the country’s enemies. “Go ahead Iran. Make my day.”
